28.04.2025Labor Centennial Through Rare Earth Tensions
The narratives of the labor centennial dominated state media, with Xi Jinping's celebration speech at the 100th anniversary of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions appearing across all major outlets by mid-morning. This labor glorification continues the pattern from previous days ahead of Labor Day.

China's implementation of rare earth export controls emerged as a significant economic development, with BBC examining Australia's potential to capitalize on this situation despite China processing 90% of global rare earths. This control mechanism appears strategically timed amid ongoing trade tensions with the US.

Economic confidence messaging continued with assertions of "full confidence" in hitting the 5% growth target despite trade headwinds. The NDRC announced incremental employment stabilization measures, furthering yesterday's private enterprise support narrative.

Military tensions persisted with reports of China-Philippines clashes over Sandy Cay in the Spratlys, while questions surfaced about top general He Weidong's absence from a Politburo event.
