12.03.2025NPC Closure Through Ukraine Ceasefire
The National People's Congress concluded its third session, with state media emphasizing "consensus building" while notably continuing coverage of Zhao Leji's absence, identified in yesterday's reporting as "illness." Secret China suggested his absence might relate to a failed power challenge.

Ukraine's acceptance of a 30-day ceasefire proposal dominated international coverage, with analysis focused on Russia's potential response and mineral trade agreements rather than military guarantees for Ukraine's future. Simultaneously, EU-US trade tensions escalated with Europe imposing retaliatory measures against US steel tariffs.

Military technology developments gained attention with China extending warship service life through advanced anti-corrosion technologies and reports claiming Chinese AI has decisively outperformed human pilots in air combat. Economic measures included China summoning Walmart executives for tariff discussions and new land reserve bond issuance rules being released by two ministries.
