21.03.2025 ⇢ Lijiang Quantum Leap Through Norwegian Collaboration
⌨Xi Jinping's inspection tour of Lijiang in Yunnan Province dominated state media with synchronized reporting on cultural heritage preservation alongside modernization efforts. The narrative evolved from morning coverage of "ancient and modern" Lijiang to afternoon emphasis on "beautiful industries" benefiting ethnic minority regions, continuing the pattern from his Guizhou-Yunnan tour.
Scientific breakthroughs emerged with reports of China's quantum microsatellite achieving "space-to-ground" communication, potentially launching a global quantum network. This technological advancement parallels military developments with a sighting of China's sixth-generation stealth fighter.
International positioning shifted as a Norwegian diplomat advocated collaboration with China amid Trump era uncertainty, while China prepared for increased vehicle exports with record shipbuilding pace. Financial troubles surfaced in Hong Kong, with CK Hutchison reporting 27% profit decline and the territory falling to its lowest-ever World Happiness Report ranking.
