Per the source, Xi Jinping’s 31 December 2025 New Year address framed the completion of the 14th Five-Year Plan and set priorities for a high-quality development push as the 15th Five-Year Plan period begins. The speech combined economic confidence signals with sovereignty messaging and a multilateral governance narrative, though the source’s coverage may be incomplete.
Al Jazeera reports that Donald Trump described a phone call with China’s Xi Jinping as “excellent,” highlighting personal rapport amid trade tensions. The extracted document contains limited article body text, so assessment focuses on the signaling value and near-term de-escalation implications rather than specific policy outcomes.
A January 2026 source argues Xi Jinping’s New Year address elevated Taiwan as a central strategic priority, pairing narrative institutionalization with intensified military signaling. It further assesses Beijing may view the 2026 U.S. midterm election cycle as a potential window that could complicate Washington’s response options.

A Modern Diplomacy analysis argues that Xi Jinping’s New Year address and late-December 2025 exercises elevate Taiwan as Beijing’s central strategic priority for 2026.

A 3 January 2026 analysis argues that Xi Jinping’s end-2025 New Year address elevated Taiwan as a central priority, including reported creation of a “Taiwan Recovery Day” and reinforcement of reunification narratives. The source links this messaging to late-December 2025 PLA exercises and assesses that U.S. midterm politics in 2026 could be perceived in Beijing as a strategic opportunity, while also containing speculative claims that are not evidenced in the text.
The PLA Navy has stationed 10 female officers and sergeants on Yongshu Reef in the Nansha Islands for the first time, highlighting improved infrastructure and sustainment capacity.
