Chinese state media on November 13 consistently highlighted President Xi Jinping's emphasis on fostering connections between young sinologists and the world. This narrative, building on previous days' diplomatic engagements, underscored cultural exchange as a key foreign policy initiative through early morning coverage. Concurrently, reports emerged concerning Hong Kong's government-organized election forums and the potential construction of China's first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. As the day progressed, independent outlets reported on tightening tax scrutiny on citizens' overseas income and increased EU scrutiny of Chinese firms. The focus on Xi's sinologist message remained prominent across state-controlled media, alongside continued coverage of China's diplomatic relations.
