24.07.2025Europe-China Diplomacy Converged
The editorial landscape on July 24th was overwhelmingly shaped by the China-EU Leaders' Meeting in Beijing. Early morning reports maintained the recurring "People's City" narrative and general economic resilience, alongside discussions of China-EU ties. However, the focus quickly shifted to President Xi Jinping's meeting with European Council President Costa and European Commission President von der Leyen. This event became the day's dominant story, consistently highlighted by state media as marking 50 years of diplomatic relations and crucial for global stability. External reporting, while acknowledging the summit, noted persistent trade disagreements. A specific development in the afternoon was the agreement to address rare earth export restrictions. By day's end, the summit's developments continued to overshadow other themes, including domestic economic initiatives or the "People's City" concept which had been prominent in prior days.
