29.12.2024Day of the Jeju Air Crash
The morning media cycle focused intensively on the unfolding Jeju Air disaster in South Korea, with casualty numbers rising throughout the day from initial reports of 28 to final confirmation of 179 deaths. The black box was recovered as investigations began into possible bird strike and adverse weather conditions.

State media maintained coordinated messaging about Xi's "opening up" narrative and Politburo study sessions, while unveiling the CR450 high-speed train prototype in Beijing. By midday, Xi sent formal condolences to South Korea's acting president, marking official acknowledgment of the disaster.

Afternoon coverage shifted to China's expanding influence in Africa, particularly in the Gulf of Guinea and through TCM diplomacy with Djibouti. The state-backed narrative of Xiongan as a "city of the future" emerged, while selective visa policies toward EU countries indicated continuing strategic differentiation in diplomatic relations.
