The Chinese Communist Party's People's Daily received an important visitor today. They were inspired to report it on Twitter, which is blocked in China.
People's Daily wasn't the only state-media organization in China to receive a visit from Xi today and tweet about it. Xinhua made appropriate use of quotation marks in one of its tweets.
They also shared a heart-touching moment.
In its excitement, CCTV didn't feel inhibited to declare "exclusive" on something which happened within their own studio.
CCTV really loves inspections after all.
Unsurprisingly, there was a bit of commentary on Twitter.
Of course, none of this is a joke.
If these tweets aren't enough to satisfy, one can head to Medium where David Bandurski translated a portion of a poem about Xi's visit written by a deputy editor at Xinhua. Bandurski described it as a "steaming heap of sycophancy". That is also not a joke.
