⌨The newspapers report extensively on Trump's abrupt policy reversal exempting Chinese electronics from tariffs, with multiple sources noting the significance of this "major concession" in the trade war (BBC Chinese, Caixin Global, DW Chinese, SCMP). Chinese officials and tech firms are described as "bewildered" by these "tariff flip-flops" causing market uncertainty (SCMP, Caixin). Simultaneously, Xi Jinping's state visit to Vietnam dominates state media coverage, with emphasis on building a "community with shared future" between the "comrades plus brothers" (Beijing Daily, CCTV, China Daily, Global Times, People's Daily). Economic messaging continues with "investing in China means investing in the future" narratives (People's Daily).
