The Yellow Crane Tower with Fire for 30000 Miles in Chang'an
Recently, the domestically produced animated film "Chang'an 30000 Miles" has been a hit. In the film, the story of Li Bai and the Yellow Crane Tower left a deep impression on the audience, which also made the Yellow Crane Tower, which is celebrating its 1800th birthday this year, once again popular. From Jiangxia County in the movie to the present-day Wuchang City, many tourists leave the cinema and climb the Yellow Crane Tower. Here, the "One Tower and One City" Huanghe Tower 1800 Interactive Experience Exhibition is being held, and using AI technology, tourists can have a conversation with Li Bai. Since July, the number of tourists to Huanghe Tower has more than doubled compared to the same period last year. In the light and shadow show of the Yellow Crane Tower, tourists can see the millennium long vicissitudes of its repeated destruction and construction, and feel the never-ending Chinese cultural heritage.
The prices of new energy public charging stations have generally increased, with charging piles increasing by over 50%. Multiple brands have responded
With the increasing popularity of electric vehicles, public charging stations, as supporting facilities, are also being deployed throughout the country. However, since July this year, owners of electric vehicles in many places have reported a general increase in charging prices, with some charging stations even experiencing a rise of over 50%.
On July 22nd, staff from brands such as Te Dian, Star Charging, and E Charging responded to reporters regarding price increases. Special call customer service stated that in general, electricity prices will be adjusted in the summer and may be raised; Star Charging customer service stated that the reason for the price increase in some regions is because the charging prices were lower in the past, and now the electricity prices have been adjusted back to the normal range.
According to data from the China Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Promotion Alliance, as of June 2023, a total of 2.149 million public charging stations have been reported by member units within the alliance. Among them, the top four operators of public charging stations are TEDA, Xingxing Charging, Yunkuai Charging, and State Grid. Generally speaking, a fully charged electric car requires around 30-40 degrees of electricity. Roughly calculated based on a full charge of 35 degrees, electric vehicle owners may need to pay an additional 7.43 yuan per charge at the aforementioned charging station compared to previous years.
Is it only 760 yuan for a cyberbullying incident?
Transfer, like, and review, each for 30 yuan and 100, with a reading volume of 20 yuan and 10000 views; short videos can also be viewed; "Exposure costs 3000 yuan per week, 5000 yuan per half month, and 8000 yuan per month." According to reports, the threshold for ordinary people to be exposed to online bullying is getting lower and lower, with industries such as spending money to "bomb" and harass others, and "water army" promoting traffic brushing. With the continuous tightening of policies and regulations, the online violence industry chain is becoming increasingly covert.
According to reports, many forwarding, liking, and news promotion services have been clearly priced on the internet riot industry chain. The hired "water army" first hypes up a certain text, video, or Weibo content, and then matches the platform's algorithm promotion mechanism in order to gain higher attention. In addition to writing articles to promote and hype up traffic, harassing and insulting others through phone and text messages is also a common way of cyberbullying. A merchant from a certain e-commerce platform stated that they can make 20 to 30 phone calls per minute, send more than 99 text messages per minute, and customize text messages containing warnings or threats to others. Cyberbullying has not only achieved industrialization, but has also become more professional.
On July 21st, the Ministry of Public Security announced at a press conference that some "online water army" groups fabricated and spread false information in hot public opinion events, "seizing hot topics" to harvest traffic, and even "creating hot topics" to coerce public opinion and mislead the public. In the special action to crack down on online rumors, more than 130 "online water army" cases were investigated and handled according to law, and more than 620 suspect were arrested.
The most active part of China's economy is the technology and industry to address climate change
On July 22, it was reported that during the third 2023 China US Climate Finance Second Track Dialogue, Li Gao, a member of the National People's Congress Environment and Resources Committee and Director of the Climate Change Response Department of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, stated that the most active part of China's economy today is the development of technologies and industries closely related to addressing climate change, such as photovoltaics, wind power, electric vehicles, and energy storage. In fact, addressing climate change not only protects the environment and climate, but also promotes economic development.
Li Gao stated that if global renewable energy is to further develop, a favorable environment must be created for this development. "When engaging in decoupling and chain breaking, reducing risks, or influencing international cooperation through domestic policies, we should carefully consider and reflect on these policies from a global perspective. Otherwise, it may be difficult to imagine achieving the same results as the development of renewable energy in the past decade in the next decade."
Why has the US economy not yet declined despite the Federal Reserve raising interest rates significantly?
Since the global financial crisis, the attitudes of American households and creditors towards borrowing have undergone significant changes. The market is delighted by the prospect of a "soft landing" of the US economy, with strong gains in the stock and bond markets last week. The better than expected consumer price index and producer price index are the catalysts behind the market's rise, and these data have ignited investors' hope that US inflation can be contained without the economy falling into recession.
The reasons include: strong consumer spending, the government partially replaced the fiscal stimulus during the epidemic with other forms of spending, and the unexpected resilience of the euro zone economies in the face of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
But there is also a factor that is rarely mentioned in reports on the US economy: due to changes in household and corporate debt since the 2008 global financial crisis, the sensitivity of US private sector spending to interest rates may no longer be as high as widely believed. If that's the case, the Fed's interest rate hike may not weaken demand in the economy as it did in the past.
