I've had the pleasure of watching a lot of 新闻联播 the last few weeks and I can confirm that certainly for the top stories each evening, it is usually is an endless string of 习近平's! I know that if the General Secretary is doing anything newsworthy, he has to appear at the top of the running order: if the #1 has done something trivial, and the #2 or #3 or #4 has done something very important, the #1 is still supposed to come first, then the #2, and so on. I think that's always been the case. What may have increased in recent years is the number of namechecks in items further down the running order. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
