15.01.2026 ⇢ The Day of the Rare Earth Sanction against Japan
⌹On January 15, 2026, Chinese media underwent a transition from internal ideological discipline to active economic warfare. During the morning, state-run outlets including People’s Daily and Xinhua concluded their coverage of the 20th CCDI 5th Plenary Session, standardizing the 'self-revolution' narrative as the administrative foundation for the 15th Five-Year Plan. This ritualistic focus shifted abruptly as BBC Chinese and Global Times reported China’s deployment of the rare earth 'big stick' against Japan, a move framed as a response to regional security alignments.
By early afternoon, the editorial priority moved toward economic diplomacy and stabilization. The South China Morning Post and Global Times highlighted a 'new starting point' in relations with Canada during Mark Carney’s state visit, while Caixin reported a 0.25 percentage point structural interest rate cut by the central bank. Simultaneously, Hong Kong outlets focused on local tragedies, reporting the confirmed death toll of 168 from the Tai Po fire and a fatal police shooting in a shopping mall.
