15.07.2025 ⇢ Urban Directives Unfolded
⌨The day's state media coverage was overwhelmingly dominated by the Central Urban Work Conference, where President Xi Jinping delivered a significant speech outlining achievements and future priorities for urban development in the "new era." This reinforced the Party's sustained emphasis on building "people's cities" and improving urban life, a consistent editorial priority that deepened throughout the day and carried forward from previous days' focus on urban renewal. Early in the morning, state media also highlighted the successful launch of the Tianzhou-9 cargo spacecraft. Concurrently, official outlets reported China's 5.3% GDP growth for the first half of the year, underscoring economic resilience. Independent and foreign-based media concurrently addressed economic debates, challenges in Hong Kong, and international diplomacy, including discussions around Trump's "ultimatum" to Russia and Xi's meeting with the Australian Prime Minister.
