01.06.2025 ⇢ The Children's Day propaganda blitz
⌨State media executed their most synchronized propaganda campaign in weeks, with seven outlets publishing identical coverage of Xi Jinping as the "big friend" giving gifts to children. The coordination began after midnight and intensified throughout the day, evolving from yesterday's Dragon Boat Festival patriotism to Children's Day messaging about nurturing "little saplings" into "strong nation youth."
The campaign expanded in waves, with morning headlines emphasizing "things that must be grasped from childhood" and afternoon coverage focusing on raising "patriotic, studious, and well-developed new era youth." This represented the most comprehensive media synchronization observed in recent monitoring.
Tensions with the US escalated as China condemned Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's warning at the Shangri-La Dialogue that China poses an "imminent threat" to Taiwan. Beijing responded that the Asia-Pacific could become a "powder keg" if Taiwan is used as a bargaining chip.
Economic coverage highlighted manufacturing improvements and China's 2030 metrology action plan targeting semiconductor and quantum technology advantages over the US.
