Two tourist boats capsize; multiple dead and missing. But second to ‘Xi to meet Putin’ in importance apparently. Nothing comes ahead of the Great Leader’s diplomatic work in the state media hierarchy, especially not the lives of regular people.

There was a time when you could quietly omit a Xi-related story to make the top headline something relevant/interesting, but those days are probably long gone.

And the non-Xi story still gets linked to Xi in some way.

It's easy. Just chuck in a "President Xi sent profound instructions to the responders on the importance of careful rescue operations."

It’s there in the screenshot. Still not enough to push it to the top story.

Haha I missed that. And no, it wouldn't be: a mere utterance from him isn't enough to get a story to the top of the the list. After all, he points the way on *so many* issues. chinadigitaltimes.net/2024/03/word...
