Can the massage chair leave the cinema
On August 7th, the topic # Can the massage chair leave the cinema? # topped the hot search list. Is the massage chair infringing? Interface News interviewed lawyer Xia Hailong from Shanghai Shenlun Law Firm based on this. The lawyer said, "The massage seats in cinemas have simple functions and will not have a significant negative impact on consumers' physical health or viewing experience. However, in order to protect consumers' right to know and choose, cinemas should still remind consumers of the distribution of massage seats, making it convenient for consumers to choose according to their needs. However, for shared massage chairs placed in station waiting halls and shopping malls, the operating party has an obligation to timely inspect the operation of massage chairs to ensure that they do not harm users' personal health. Otherwise, they will bear corresponding infringement liability."

Last year, Japan's debt reached 64 trillion yuan
Last year Britain's controversial tax cuts pushed the price of its treasury bond to its highest level since the financial crisis. Subsequently, the two major international rating agencies, S&P and Fitch, lowered the outlook for the UK rating to negative.
Currently, Japan's debt problem is more severe than that of the UK. According to the International Monetary Fund, by the end of 2022, Japan's debt reached 1270.499 trillion yen, equivalent to about 260% of the country's GDP, breaking records for seven consecutive years and even exceeding the 204% during World War II in 1944. This raises doubts about whether Japan will become another major economy after the United States, with its sovereign credit rating downgraded.
Krisjanis Krustins, Head of Sovereign Ratings at Fitch Ratings Asia Pacific, bluntly stated in a comment email sent to a reporter from the Daily Economic News that Japan's high debt is the main weakness of its sovereign credit rating.

According to data from a certain online platform, orders for "City Walk" related products have grown rapidly since June this year. However, there have also been many controversies online, such as implicit fees for purchasing expensive food, souvenirs, and other items at passing points without paying registration fees, as well as issues with team leaders not having the qualifications to lead teams. The lawyer stated that if tourism products provide two or more tourism services such as transportation, accommodation, catering, sightseeing, tour guides, or tour guides, relevant organizations need to have corporate legal personality, as well as fixed business premises, necessary facilities, and tour guides. In addition, it is necessary to obtain a travel agency business operation license, and individuals are not allowed to engage in commercial tourism business, otherwise they may be suspected of operating without a license.
