Political situation

In April this year, the celebration of the establishment of the Shanghai Hong Kong Club Association was held in Hong Kong. Today, more than a month later, the first Shanghai Hong Kong Entrepreneur Roundtable and the signing ceremony of the Memorandum of Understanding on Comprehensive Strengthening Strategic Cooperation between the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce and the Hong Kong Chinese Chamber of Commerce will be held in Shanghai. The two sides will establish a working mechanism to enhance cooperation and exchange, promote integration and innovation, and push economic and trade cooperation between Shanghai and Hong Kong to a new level. "The business communities in Shanghai and Hong Kong have a profound historical connection. Since the opening of the port, the two regions have maintained close economic and trade exchanges for a long time." At the signing ceremony, Chen Tong, a member of the Standing Committee of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee and Minister of the United Front Work Department, stated that in 2022, the import and export trade volume between Shanghai and Hong Kong exceeded 160 billion yuan, an increase of 7.5 times from 1997; Since its launch in November 2014, the Shanghai Hong Kong Stock Connect has been trading daily in both "south" and "north" directions until the end of 2022

When Shanghai first implemented garbage classification, the biggest concern for residents was whether the garbage sorted at the front end would be mixed again at the end? Now, there is a good answer to this question. Since the implementation of the Shanghai Municipal Regulations on the Management of Domestic Waste for more than three years, garbage classification has become a new trend in Shanghai. Significant achievements have been made in the reduction, resource utilization, and harmless treatment of domestic waste. The waste separated by residents not only does not mix and transport, but some of it even becomes a coveted commodity for enterprises after being collected. Recently, the Standing Committee of the Municipal People's Congress conducted law enforcement inspections and inspections on several environmental protection enterprises, which were quite eye-catching, allowing representatives to see vivid cases of turning waste into treasure. However, the law enforcement inspection by the Municipal People's Congress also found that the technical bottleneck problem of end-of-life recycling has been overcome, but some enterprises have encountered varying degrees of "insufficient food"

Artificial intelligence products are constantly emerging, and many education service, gaming, and e-commerce companies have implanted intelligent algorithms. "Some intelligent algorithms based on commercial interests are 'killing off' the youth population, tempting them to become addicted to it," said Zhang Zhi, a representative of the Municipal People's Congress. Recently, the Municipal Commission of Economy and Information Technology stated in its response to representatives that the city will further strengthen research on artificial intelligence algorithms and take targeted security protection measures such as review commitments. Some companies promote game products based on psychological algorithms, leading to addiction to online games among teenagers; some companies are suspected of algorithmic discrimination, which constitutes unfairness to specific groups; some companies only promote commercial sales to students based on interests, without considering potential harm; and some companies use data mining to construct user profiles to 'kill and kill', infringing on user interests. This means that the intelligence provided by the company violates user interests
