The Ministry of Foreign Affairs refutes rumors that Chinese government agencies have banned Apple phones
Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mao Ning, presided over a regular press conference. A reporter from Asahi Television in Japan asked, "Is it true that some Chinese government agencies have banned the use of Apple phones according to media reports?"? Does the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also prohibit the use of Apple phones?
Mao Ning stated that China adheres to promoting high-level opening-up to the outside world, protecting the rights and interests of foreign investment in accordance with the law, and creating a market-oriented, legal, and international first-class business environment. We have always maintained an open attitude towards foreign-funded enterprises. Welcome foreign-funded enterprises to seize China's development opportunities and share the fruits of China's economic development.
China has not introduced any laws, regulations, or policy documents prohibiting the purchase and use of foreign brand smartphones such as Apple. But we have recently noticed that there have been media reports of security incidents related to Apple phones. The Chinese government attaches great importance to network and information security, and treats domestic and foreign enterprises equally and equally. We hope that all mobile phone companies operating in China can strictly comply with laws and regulations such as the Data Security Law of the People's Republic of China and the Personal Information Protection Law of the People's Republic of China, strengthen information security management, protect consumer data stored in mobile phones from being stolen by any individual or organization, and ensure information security.

Jay Chou's Shanghai Concert is more expensive than tickets in terms of purchasing fees
According to the First Financial Daily, at 18:00 on September 12th, tickets for Jay Chou's concert in Shanghai were sold out, repeating the history of "not being able to get tickets" and "not being able to get them in a second". Even under the rules of the strong real name system, scalpers still have a booming business of proxy grabbing. According to the concert ticket data released by the three platforms of Damai, Piaoxing, and Maoyan, over 110000 tickets were released for Jay Chou's Shanghai concert, and 3.78 million people on the Damai platform alone marked "want to see".
Under the strong real name system, the business of "scalpers" is no longer about buying and selling, but about "robbing" on behalf of others. They will bind the customer's ID information in advance, and if the ticket is not snatched, 100% of the money from the "proxy snatch" will be refunded to the customer. It is precisely this mentality of trying without losing out that has led many Jay Chou fans to choose "proxy snatching".
Recently, the reporter consulted a "scalper" as a consumer, who said that the price of Jay Chou's stand in Shanghai was 1500 yuan per ticket, while the ticket price for the stand ranged from 580 yuan to 1280 yuan; The ticket price for the 2080 price in the infield is 2500 yuan, while the ticket price for other prices in the infield is 2000 yuan. It is understood that some are manually "snatched", while more advanced ones will rely on special software.
