About this listen
Xi Jinping has been steering Chinas economic ship through choppy waters, unveiling a bold 2026 blueprint in a Qiushi journal article that prioritizes technological self-reliance and domestic demand to counter global trade barriers, as detailed by Caixin Global on February 17. This defensive strategy, echoing priorities from Decembers Central Economic Work Conference, calls for boosting pensions, household incomes, and property sector stability over quick fixes, a move with lasting biographical weight as Xi doubles down on inward growth amid U.S. tensions.
In a heartwarming public outing, Xi hit Beijings streets on February 10 for a two-day Spring Festival inspection, chatting with seniors at an age-friendly community canteen in Xicheng District, praising societal support for the elderly, and then diving into the festive buzz at Longfusi markets in Dongcheng, where he bought local pastries, waved to crowds on Little New Year, and urged kids to balance studies with exercise, per China Daily and Xinhua reports. He extended Year of the Horse greetings for health, prosperity, and family joy to all Chinese at home and abroad.
Diplomatically, Xi sent warm felicitations on February 14 to the 39th African Union Summit chairperson, pledging zero-tariff access for 53 African nations from May and deeper economic ties, according to the Chinese embassy site. At a February 14 Great Hall reception, he rallied for a strong 15th Five-Year Plan start, stressing the Partys people-first roots, as noted by China.org.cn.
No fresh social media mentions or business ventures popped up, though U.S. chatter brews around a potential April Trump-Xi summit, with Quad pushes for unity beforehand via South China Morning Post on February 17. Unconfirmed whispers of military purges, like General Zhang Youxias probe from Evelyn.com, lack verification from state media and smell more like speculation than solid scoop.
