03:28⇢Tianjin Summit: Silk Road Echoes
⌨Chinese state media's primary focus has shifted to the impending Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Tianjin Summit, with widespread coverage of its significance for "Silk Road" cooperation, economic development, and China's high-level opening to the world (Beijing Daily, CCTV, China Economic Net, China Daily Chinese, Guangming Daily, Huanqiu, Xinhua News Chinese). Concurrently, state outlets extensively report on President Xi Jinping's meeting with the Russian State Duma chairman (Global Times, People's Daily English, Xinhua News). Independent media, however, highlight external economic pressures, with reports on US President Trump's threats of tariffs on rare earth magnets (South China Morning Post) and his broader foreign policy stances (VOA Chinese).
