30.04.2025 ⇢ Xi's Shanghai AI Tour Through 15th Five-Year Planning
⌨State media saturated coverage of Xi Jinping's Shanghai inspection tour focusing on artificial intelligence development, continuing the AI self-reliance narrative from April 26's Politburo study session. By early morning, synchronized reporting emphasized Xi's visit to a "large-model incubator," declaring AI "a young person's career" while positioning Shanghai as a "global science and technology innovation hub."

By mid-morning, coverage pivoted to Xi chairing a symposium on China's "15th Five-Year Plan" (2026-2030) economic development, signaling forward planning amid trade tensions. Economic vulnerability indicators emerged with Caixin reporting manufacturing PMI dropping to a three-month low and news of a securities regulator vice chairman's unexpected investigation.

International friction persisted with People's Daily publishing the first in a series criticizing "US tariff abuse," Chinese flight bookings to the US declining amid trade tensions, and reports of "sparks flying" at a WTO session over Chinese overcapacity and tariffs.
