The Expo will boost international brands to settle in Hainan and promote overseas consumption return and economic growth.

       CCTV News:The 2nd Consumer Expo officially opened today (July 25th) in Haikou City, Hainan Province, with more than 2,800 brands of goods from home and abroad gathered in an exhibition area of 100,000 square meters. The holding of the Expo has added another impetus to Hainan’s tourism consumption.

After the first Consumer Expo was held, many exhibitors increased their business development in Hainan, and new brands were constantly set up in Hainan, which not only enriched duty-free goods, but also brought about sales growth.

In a duty-free city in Haikou City, Hainan Province, the reporter saw that many consumers were choosing perfume, cosmetics, skin care products and other commodities. Many of these consumers are old customers.

The person in charge told the reporter that nearly 500 international brands have been introduced in the exhibition area of more than 20,000 square meters in this duty-free city. Even so, since this year, more brands are optimistic about the consumer market in China and are interested in entering.

Zhan Xingzhou, President of Shenzhen Duty Free Group:Consumer Expo is like the "engine" of tourism consumption and the "highway" to promote the development of tax-free enterprises. Last year, we attended the first Expo. Over the past year, our sales in Hainan increased by 120% year-on-year, and the number of customers increased by four times, exceeding one million.

In another duty-free city in Sanya, Hainan, the charm of duty-free goods attracts tourists from all over the country. The data shows that last year, the sales of China Free Group in Hainan alone exceeded 60 billion yuan. There are more than 750 brands at home and abroad in Haitang Bay Duty Free City, and more than 30 brands entered after last year’s Consumer Expo.

       Gao Xujiang, Deputy General Manager of China Tourism Group Zhongmian Co., Ltd.:After the Expo in May last year, I feel that our influence has increased. Especially, some international brands have paid more and more attention to our China market, especially Hainan market. For example, some brands that were difficult to attract investment in the past have made it much easier to negotiate after the Expo. There are also some substantial progress, such as some electronic goods and cosmetics, which are now stationed in some duty-free shops in Hainan, and some first launches, first stores and initiatives.

China International Consumer Goods Expo provides a platform for global consumer goods display and trading, which is beneficial for countries all over the world to share market opportunities in China, and for China to provide more high-quality consumer goods to the world. Ni Qiang, vice governor of Hainan Province, said in an exclusive interview with our reporter that the holding of the Consumer Expo has promoted the return of overseas consumption and economic growth.

Reporter Bai Wei:What changes have been brought to Hainan after the first Expo?

Ni Qiang, Deputy Governor of Hainan Province and Director of the Free Trade Port Working Committee Office of the Provincial Party Committee:We promote our economic growth through consumer fairs, duty-free shopping on outlying islands and the return of consumption. Last year, the growth rate of total retail sales of social consumer goods in Hainan was the first in the country, and the average growth rate in two years was the first in the country. Now consumption has driven more than investment. It should be said that under the impetus of consumption, the growth rate of GDP jumped to the second place in the country last year, and our two-year average (growth rate) was the first in the country.

Ni Qiang said that after the first Consumer Expo, many exhibitors who participated in the Expo went to Hainan for field trips, involving high-end manufacturing, food processing, eco-environmental protection and many other industries. Since this year, some enterprises have invested and built factories in Hainan, which has strongly supported the construction of Hainan’s modern industrial system. The data shows that the actual utilization of foreign capital in Hainan Province will increase by 16% in 2021, and the total amount will jump from the fifth lowest in the country to the ninth in the country.

Ni Qiang, Deputy Governor of Hainan Province and Director of the Free Trade Port Working Committee Office of the Provincial Party Committee:At present, many international enterprises have come to Hainan through the Expo, mainly taking advantage of Hainan’s geographical advantage of relying on the domestic super-large-scale market; On the other hand, domestic enterprises also use this platform to push their products and services to a broader international market.

Tear off the mask of free competition and curb China’s technological development. How many "devils" are hidden in the US "Chip Act"?

  [Global Times reporter Yuan Jirong] In order to suppress and contain the rising China science and technology and safeguard American hegemony, Washington has increasingly turned to the core of the digital economy — — In the field of chips. On August 15th, the US Department of Commerce implemented export control on EDA software known as "the mother of chips". Previously, the United States had promulgated the Chip and Technology Act of 2022 (hereinafter referred to as the "Chip Act") on July 28th. The purpose of this bill is to cut off the supply of advanced technology, equipment and materials for chip manufacturing to China, accelerate the return of the chip industry to the United States through subsidies, cut off the contact between China’s chip industry and the world, and reshape the supply chain pattern of the global chip industry chain. Obviously, this is a wishful plan of the United States. So how many "devils" are hidden in the "Chip Act" of the United States? Our reporter conducted an interview and investigation.

  In the five sub-chains, where do Chinese and American enterprises occupy?

  The main contents of the "Chip Act" in the United States include three items: one is to provide 52.7 billion US dollars of financial support to the semiconductor industry; The second is to provide enterprises with a 25% investment tax credit of about $24 billion; The third is to allocate about 200 billion US dollars to support cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics and quantum computing. The United States is trying to attract enterprises to set up factories in the United States, so as to concentrate the advanced process (below 28 nm) chip manufacturing industry in the United States, to confront China’s challenges in the semiconductor field, and to safeguard the technological hegemony of the United States. According to industry data, in 1990, the United States accounted for 37% of the global semiconductor manufacturing industry, and in 2020, this proportion dropped to 12%.

  In the related statement issued by the White House, the purpose of the "Chip Act" includes reducing costs, creating jobs, strengthening the supply chain and so on, so as to compete with China. To this end, the bill requires the establishment of four funds: the "American chip fund" totals 50 billion US dollars, of which 39 billion US dollars is used to encourage chip production and 11 billion US dollars is used to subsidize chip research and development; The "US Chip Defense Fund" has a total of 2 billion US dollars to subsidize the production of key chips related to national security, which will be allocated by the US Department of Defense in stages from 2022 to 2026; The "American Chip International Technology Security and Innovation Fund" has a total of 500 million US dollars to support the establishment of a safe and reliable semiconductor supply chain; The "American Chip Labor and Education Fund" has a total of 200 million US dollars to cultivate talents in the semiconductor industry.

  As the largest chip market in the world, China consumes about 3/4 of the chips in the world. But in the global chip industry chain, China is in the middle and lower reaches. Chip industry has its unique internal structure and industrial characteristics, and its industrial chain is divided into five sub-chains. The first is design. The largest chip design company in the world is ARM in Britain, EDA in the United States occupies a monopoly position in software design, and the design capability of Huawei Hisilicon can reach 7 nanometers. The second is manufacturing, including finished products and semi-finished products. Among them, semi-finished products generally refer to wafers, and high-purity wafers are basically monopolized by Japanese companies; Chip products are made on the basis of wafers, and the international output of SMIC is currently the fifth in the world. The third is packaging testing, which is basically labor-intensive, and the gap between China and the world is not big. The fourth is equipment production. The most sophisticated EUV mask aligner is ASML, the Netherlands, which is the only enterprise that can provide 7 nm process mask aligner. The equipment manufacturers that produce wafers are mainly in Japan, and companies such as Mitsubishi and Sony are dominant. Shanghai Microelectronics has been able to produce equipment for making 28 nm chips. The fifth is auxiliary materials. Including photoresist, mask, target, packaging substrate, etc., these materials are still facing bottlenecks in China enterprises.

  Geng Bo, deputy secretary-general of the Third Generation Semiconductor Industry Technology Innovation Strategic Alliance, told the Global Times reporter that "the layout of key patents involving upstream advanced process technology, some key raw materials, equipment and spare parts consumables is still not perfect". At present, there is a severe trade deficit in China’s integrated circuit industry, and some high-end chips are not completely self-sufficient. Take memory chips as an example. At present, American products account for half of the global market, South Korea accounts for about 25%, Japan accounts for 10%, Europe accounts for 8%, and China accounts for 3%.

  Killing is mainly in the manufacturing process.

  Recently, IC Insights, a well-known semiconductor research institution, released a report. In 2021, the chip scale consumed in China was about 186.5 billion US dollars, but the chip manufactured in Chinese mainland was only 31.2 billion US dollars, accounting for only 16.7%. The "Chip Act" of the United States mainly focuses on the following aspects, with the intention of strangling China’s chip industry in its infancy.

  First, the technology, equipment and materials below 28 nm are blocked from China. Han Xiaomin, general manager of Jiwei Consulting, told reporters that the restrictions of the chip bill are mainly reflected in two aspects: First, supply chain resources such as equipment and materials related to advanced manufacturing are continuously prohibited from being given to local enterprises in China, and the research and development progress of China enterprises in the field of advanced manufacturing is suppressed; Second, chip companies supported by the Chip Act are required not to invest in advanced technology in Chinese mainland and continue to split the China market and the global supply system. Although the restrictions of the "Chip Act" mainly start from the manufacturing link, it will cooperate with a series of other restrictions. For example, EDA tools involving GAA process have just been banned from being used by China enterprises recently; Restrict American companies from providing China with the equipment needed to manufacture advanced chips; Pressure the Dutch government to ban ASML from selling deep ultraviolet mask aligner to China.

  Secondly, through subsidies, it is forbidden for companies receiving US federal funds to significantly increase production of advanced process chips in China for a period of 10 years. Companies that violate the ban or fail to correct the violation may need to refund the federal grant in full. According to the BBC, in the past, all American equipment manufacturers received a letter from the US Department of Commerce, informing them not to supply China with equipment for manufacturing chips of 14 nanometers or less. Tim Archer, chairman and CEO of American chip equipment manufacturer Panlin Semiconductor, said at the latest financial report that the scope of US technology export control to China will be further extended to foundries that produce chips below 14 nanometers.

  Before and after the "Chip Act" was signed, under the high-pressure atmosphere, many American semiconductor companies have announced that they will expand their investment in their own country. On August 9th, Micron announced that it will invest 40 billion dollars to make chips in the United States by 2030, and this action will be supported by the Chip Act. Reuters reported on the 8th that Qualcomm has agreed to purchase an additional $4.2 billion worth of semiconductor chips from Gexin’s new york factory, bringing its total purchase to $7.4 billion by 2028.

  Finally, we should promote the establishment of the "Four-Party Alliance of Chips" to further restrict the development of chips in China. This is a chip industry alliance between the United States, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan Province, which is intended to monopolize the high-end chip industry. It wants to integrate the chip manufacturing industry of American allies and set up a chip supply chain in the United States to exclude competitors.

  China’s Countermeasures

  Industry experts believe that in the short term, the "Chip Act" involves high-end OEM of advanced manufacturing technology, and memory has a great impact on China. However, in the long run, it is the consensus of domestic industry to carry out localization in related fields, and the restrictions of the bill can only accelerate this process. Geng Bo said that the upstream semiconductor equipment and materials will benefit from the continuous expansion of production and the acceleration of localization in China Wafer Factory. In view of the macro-policy blessing of localization and the uncertainty of international situation and supply chain security, China semiconductor industry should do a good job in top-level design and overall layout, increase policy support, strengthen international cooperation outside the United States, enlarge and strengthen the head enterprise, increase the training of industry talents and discipline construction, and strive to establish a certain closed-loop supply capacity in the industrial chain to prevent the recurrence of "core shortage tide".

  At the same time, for the United States, relying on a "chip bill" cannot reshape the glory of the local chip industry, and it is even more difficult to rebuild the manufacturing industry chain. Some industry experts said that the global "chip shortage" has been gradually eased this year, and there has even been a surplus in chip production, and many chips are being sold at reduced prices. This means that the chip industry is not a promising industry at least for the moment. Market investors are also confirming this judgment. After the release of the "Chip Act", the share prices of major semiconductor companies in the United States fell due to the decline in demand for early warning in the industry.

  Han Xiaomin said that the "Chip Act" can alleviate the strategic anxiety of the United States by attracting leading enterprises to set up factories in the United States through subsidies. However, it is not optimistic that the United States will truly become an advanced technology manufacturing base. Some experts believe that although China has not broken through the high-end chip manufacturing technology for the time being, it has chip factories accounting for half of the world’s total, and the "Chip Act" of the United States will promote Chinese enterprises to break through the technology. The domestic manufacturing industry in the United States is hollow and lacks talents, and it is impossible to form independent chip production capacity in a short time. According to the estimation of the Boston Consulting Group and other institutions, if the United States adopts the policy of "hard decoupling technology" from China, it may cause American semiconductor enterprises to lose 18% of the global market share and 37% of the revenue, and reduce 15,000 to 40,000 high-skilled jobs. This is tantamount to luring domestic enterprises away from the China market with a drop in the bucket subsidy.

Country Garden suddenly: suspension, delay!

On the evening of March 28,Country Garden announced that it would delay the publication of its 2023 annual results and send its 2023 annual report.

According to the announcement, Country Garden is facing an increasingly complex business environment, and the company needs to collect more information to make appropriate accounting estimates and judgments, so as to reasonably reflect the changes in the industry and the company in the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2023.

At the same time, as Country Garden’s debt restructuring work is still in progress, in view of the large number and wide distribution of the Group’s projects and the heavy workload and complexity involved in relevant due diligence, the Group needs more time to collect relevant financial information to carefully evaluate the Group’s current and future financial resources and financial obligations.

Therefore, it is estimated that it will take longer for the company to complete the preparation of the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2023, and it is impossible to comply with the relevant provisions of the listing rules and publish the 2023 annual results before March 31, 2024.

Country Garden said in the announcement that the Group is working with financial advisers and legal advisers to assess the Group’s situation, and working closely with various creditors to formulate practical measures as soon as possible. In addition, the Board of Directors of Country Garden Group and the management of the company are committed to continuing to actively negotiate with creditors about debt restructuring, and will continue to work closely with the auditor PricewaterhouseCoopers to announce the 2023 annual results and send the 2023 annual report as soon as possible.

According to the relevant provisions of the Listing Rules, if Country Garden cannot announce its 2023 annual results on or before March 31, 2024, it is expected that the trading of Country Garden’s shares will be suspended on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange from 9: 00 am on April 2, pending the announcement of its 2023 annual results.

The Board of Directors of Country Garden Group believes that the suspension of trading will not have a substantial impact on the company’s operations. At present, the company’s domestic security building work and overseas debt restructuring work have been promoted in an orderly manner, and related work has received strong support from stakeholders including relevant local governments and overseas creditors.

Country Garden also disclosed some latest information. In the whole year of 2023, Country Garden Group and its joint ventures and associates completed the delivery of more than 600,000 houses, with a total delivery area of 71.62 million square meters, covering 249 cities in 31 provinces across the country.

Country Garden said in the announcement that on the date of the announcement, the Group continued to actively respond to the call, clarified the main responsibility of the enterprise main body in the delivery process, insisted on earmarking funds and strictly managed the pre-sale monitoring funds, and at the same time relied on various support policies of the state and local governments for the industry, relying on policies to help the project delivery. In addition, the Group attaches great importance to the cooperative relationship with suppliers. The Group maintains continuous communication with major contractors and suppliers to ensure that all parties have a consensus on the project schedule and funding arrangements, and through negotiation of a reasonable payment plan, it will continue to effectively ensure the normal operation of the project and complete the task of ensuring the delivery of the building. In terms of liquidity, the company is also striving to revitalize assets such as bulk businesses and reduce non-core and non-essential operating expenses, so as to keep the delivery bottom line and try its best to improve the liquidity situation.

Country Garden said that the company attaches great importance to debt risk resolution. In the past few months, the company has been working with financial advisers and legal advisers to evaluate the Group’s situation and formulate debt restructuring plans to alleviate the current liquidity problem. On the date of the announcement, the company is still working with financial advisers and legal advisers. The company also actively engaged in constructive dialogue with creditors, and accelerated the formulation of a restructuring plan agreed by all parties on the premise of respecting the existing legal status and legal repayment order of all creditors. Country Garden hopes that all stakeholders will maintain their confidence in the company, and support the company to continue its efforts to promote the practical and feasible best restructuring plan to achieve a long-term and sustainable capital structure.

Country Garden responded: Objection!

On March 26th, in response to the news that Country Garden’s equity was frozen, Country Garden responded to the shanghai securities news reporter that the equity freeze involved cooperation projects of regional companies. "Because there is a dispute between our company and the partner in cost calculation and pre-distribution of profits, the partner applies to the court for property preservation. Such disputes are normal commercial disputes, and the court has not yet made a final judgment. The value of the frozen equity is not the same as the subject matter of the dispute. Our company is ready to raise an objection to the court for the excessive preservation of the partner. " Country Garden said.

On March 25th, the reporter learned from Tianyancha’s information about legal proceedings that Country Garden Real Estate Group Co., Ltd. recently added several pieces of information about stock right freezing. The enterprises whose shares were executed included Shenzhen paladin Phase V Equity Investment Partnership (Limited Partnership) and Shenzhen Huixin No.22 Investment Consulting Partnership (Limited Partnership), etc. The amount of frozen shares ranged from 39 million yuan to 6.705 billion yuan, and the total frozen shares exceeded 10 billion yuan. In addition, the company also has information such as the executor and the consumption restriction order.

On February 28th this year, Country Garden announced on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange that the company was informed that Ever Credit Limited (the petitioner) filed a liquidation petition against the company with the Hong Kong High Court on February 27th, 2024, concerning the unpaid term loan with principal of about HK$ 1.6 billion between the petitioner (the lender) and the company (the borrower) and accrued interest. The company will strongly oppose the petition.

Regarding the petition for liquidation, Country Garden responded to the shanghai securities news reporter that the debt amount of the company involved in Jiantao Group accounted for a very low proportion of the overall interest-bearing liabilities abroad, and the radical action of a single creditor would not have a significant impact on the company’s security building, normal operation and overall restructuring of overseas debts. Referring to other cases of listed real estate enterprises in default in the industry, it is more common for individual creditors to apply to the Hong Kong court for company liquidation. The company resolutely opposes the petition, and will seek legal advice, take all necessary actions, and actively and properly defend with the consulting team.

On March 4th, Country Garden issued a further announcement on the liquidation petition, saying that the company would consider whether to apply to the Hong Kong High Court for an authorization order in the light of the progress of its overseas reorganization at a later stage. The company will inform its shareholders and investors of the relevant decisions in due course and make further announcements.

Country Garden, New News

Country Garden introduced partners for one of the company’s projects.

On the evening of March 24th, Country Garden announced that Guangzhou Xingchengsi, an indirect subsidiary of the company, had entered into a cooperation agreement with Guangdong Zhongwei and the project company. Accordingly, Guangzhou Xingchengsi and Guangdong Zhongwei agreed to jointly build and develop White Swan Pond International Financial Center on the property in Guangzhou through the project company for sale.

The project company refers to Guangzhou Jinsi Real Estate Development Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Guangzhou Xingchengsi. Guangzhou Property refers to land AF020106 located in the core area of White Swan Pond Business District, Liwan District, Guangzhou, with a site area of 13,968 square meters, a plot ratio of 15 and a floor area of 209,520 square meters, and the land is designated for commercial and enterprise purposes.

According to the announcement, the project company acquired Guangzhou property through open market bidding and auction in 2017 and acquired the land use right of Guangzhou property in 2018. It is planned to build a 64-storey high-rise commercial building with a 5-storey basement on the property in Guangzhou.

According to the appraisal report issued by Guangdong Tongde Real Estate Land Assets Appraisal and Planning Surveying and Mapping Co., Ltd. dated March 21, 2024, as of February 29, 2024, the market value of land use right of Guangzhou property was about 3.122 billion yuan.

In addition, as of the date of announcement, the certificates and approvals required for the construction and development of the building on the property in Guangzhou have been obtained. However, the construction of Guangzhou property has been suspended, and only the underground continuous wall and three internal supports have been basically completed, while excavation works are under way.

According to the cooperation agreement, Guangzhou Xingchengsi is regarded as having provided 3.1 billion yuan to the project company, while Guangdong Zhongwei agreed to provide further funds for the project totaling about 2.8 billion yuan. It is expected that the construction of the basement floor of the building will be completed in 2025, and the capping and project completion will be in 2026 and 2027 respectively.

In addition, Guangzhou Xingchengsi and Guangdong Zhongwei also reached a supplementary agreement on the same day, which made a supplementary agreement on the potential impact of mortgage on the performance of the cooperation agreement.

Country Garden explained the reasons for introducing partners for the project in the announcement. Country Garden said that the project was hindered by various complicated factors. For example, the assets of one of the intermediate shareholders of the project company (a fellow subsidiary of Country Garden) are currently restricted by the freezing order issued by the Guangdong Higher People’s Court. In addition, Guangzhou Property itself has been mortgaged to several mortgagees as a guarantee for the medium-term notes issued by Country Garden Real Estate Group Co., Ltd. (the same subsidiary of Country Garden) in 2023 with an amount of 1.7 billion yuan due in 2025.

Country Garden said that in view of the above-mentioned complicated factors and the large amount of funds that the project will require, it is difficult for the company to resume construction or sell properties in Guangzhou. Introducing Guangdong Zhongwei as a partner to jointly develop Guangzhou property will provide a timely and urgently needed solution to the difficulties faced by the company in realizing Guangzhou property.

Authoritative release of joint prevention and control mechanism | Vaccination with COVID-19 vaccine will not cause leukemia and diabetes.

CCTV News:Recently, there were rumors on the Internet that someone got leukemia and diabetes after being vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccine. According to experts’ introduction at the press conference, according to clinical monitoring and statistical data, in the four years before and after the COVID-19 epidemic, the number of medical visits and hospitalizations of diabetes and leukemia were basically the same, with no significant change, which indicated that vaccination with COVID-19 vaccine would not cause leukemia and diabetes.

Wang Fusheng, Director of Infectious Diseases Department of the Fifth Medical Center of PLA General Hospital:In 2018 and 2019, before the outbreak of COVID-19, the proportion of hospitalization for leukemia in China was 0.15% and 0.14% respectively, while in 2020 and 2021, the proportion of hospitalization after the outbreak was 0.13%. In 2018 and 2019, the proportion of diabetes hospitalization was 2.1%; In 2020 and 2021 after the outbreak, the proportion of hospitalization was 2.2%. According to China’s epidemic prevention and control policy, China has carried out large-scale vaccination of COVID-19 vaccine since last year. At present, China’s 3-mdash; 12-year-old children and 12-mdash; The vaccination rate of 17-year-old teenagers in COVID-19 is 90%— 100%, the total number is nearly 250 million. Under the background of such a large-scale vaccination in COVID-19, it is inevitable that a large number of vaccinations are coupled with the natural occurrence of some serious diseases. You can simply calculate that if COVID-19 vaccine really causes diabetes and leukemia, then the number of patients and hospitalizations will increase significantly, but this phenomenon has not been seen from the actual monitoring and clinical statistics.

Tencent suddenly announced: this product is offline!

  Tencent has gone offline for another business.

  On July 5, Tencent’s audio platformPenguin FMRelease the offline announcement, saying that due to business adjustment, from now on,Penguin FM will close the user registration and recharge functions and officially stop operating at 0: 00 on September 6, 2023.

  

  In the announcement, Penguin FM reminded users to save their personal data, original recordings, exchange golden beans and lazy VIP monthly cards as soon as possible before the outage (0: 00 on September 6, 2023). Penguin FM will not be able to operate after the outage.

  Guan Wei stopped for nearly 3 years.

  According to public information, Tencent’s "Penguin FM" was originally named "Radish FM", focusing on zero-flow listening and recommending featured programs for users in multiple scenarios. On April 27th, 2015, "Radish FM" was officially renamed Penguin FM, which was launched by Tencent.App application of trendy network radio station. Here, users can listen to serial novels, news reports, classic music, jokes, cross talk storytelling, parenting education and other massive audio content.

  At present, Penguin FM official Weibo homepage shows "Qualification has not been examined annually.",has lost the certification" V "logo, and the last update was more than a year ago. thatThe official WeChat official account has also stopped for nearly three years..

  

  

  Penguin FM failed to rank among the first echelon in the market.

  According to the "Research Report on the Development of Online Audio Market in China in 2023" released by Celine, online audio represented by comprehensive audio platforms, audio books, podcasts, and self-run radio apps will reach 690 million users in 2022, and the penetration rate of the whole network will reach 65.7%.

  The above report shows that in the mainstream online audio APP,The Himalaya has the highest monthly active users, with 140 million monthly active users, ranking first in the echelon.; Followed by lazy people listening to books, listening to tomatoes, dragonfly FM and litchi, the monthly active users are as high as 12 million, and these apps are in the second echelon; The monthly users of apps such as Yunting, Uncle Kai telling stories, Cool Listening, Cat Ear FM, Penguin FM (2.228 million), Listening to FM, Getting, etc. are also above 1 million, and these apps are in the third echelon.

  

  The suspension of Penguin FM is not unexpected in the eyes of the industry. On the one hand, Penguin FM failed to rank among the first echelon of the audio application market in the past 8 years, and the audio platform needs it.Copyright costs are rising.Even the application of Himalayan in the head has to start layoffs to reverse the dilemma of losing money for years.

  On the other hand, in addition to Penguin FM, Tencent also owns Tencent Music Group.Tencent is also a strategic investor in Himalaya.With millions of active user data of Penguin FM, it is only a matter of time before it is strategically abandoned.

  Tencent has previously abolished several businesses.

  In fact, since the strategy of reducing costs and increasing efficiency was put forward last year, Tencent has been shrinking its business and abolishing marginal product lines.

  According to Southern Metropolis Daily, Tencent shut down more than 10 businesses in 2022.

  In February 2022, Tencent announced that it would adjust the spelling of goslings;

  In April, Tencent’s platform Penguin E-sports released the "Delisting Announcement", and in the same month, QQ Hall also announced that it would stop operating in Chinese mainland;

  In May, the sogou map acquired by Tencent announced its closure;

  In June, the original Vlog platform "VUE VLOG" acquired by Tencent announced that it would be shut down;

  In August, Tencent’s digital collection platform "Magic Core" and Watch APP also announced the closure;

  In October, the PC side of Tencent Map announced that it would stop serving in November;

  In December, the PC terminals of Tencent WiFi Manager and tencent games Manager announced the shutdown one after another.

Biden nominated Harris as his running mate: Democrats celebrate, Republicans "fire"

  On the 11th local time, Biden, former US vice president and Democratic presidential candidate, announced that he had chosen California Senator Kamala Harris as his running mate.

  As soon as the news came out, many Democrats, black leaders and civil rights advocates praised the decision. At the same time, many Republicans expressed surprise and dissatisfaction with Biden’s move, and even began to criticize Harris’s past experience for making her unsuitable for the post of vice president.

  The Democratic Party and civil rights organizations congratulated each other.

  According to a report by the National Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) on the 11th, Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House of Representatives, said in a statement: "Biden’s nomination of Harris as the Democratic vice presidential candidate is a historic and proud milestone for our country. As a candidate for the vice president of the United States, Harris will continue to push our country forward with pioneering leadership. "

  Val Demings, a black female representative who participated in the primary election in the Democratic Party, stressed that this is the first time that a black woman has been nominated by a major political party. "This has once again strengthened my belief — — In America, everyone has a chance to succeed, no matter who he is or where he comes from. "

  Another former Democratic presidential candidate, Bernie Sanders, also praised Harris for "knowing how to stand up for the people and fight for universal health care".

  Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Twitter that she was "very excited" to welcome Harris as a vice presidential candidate and praised her as "a great public official and leader."

  Reuters reported on the 11th that after learning that Harris nominated the vice president, former President Obama also praised him: "Harris has been defending the Constitution all his career and fighting for those who seek fair treatment."

  Outside the Democratic Party, many black leaders and civil rights advocates also expressed their appreciation for Harris. According to a report by the National Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) on the 11th, Alphonso David, chairman of the Human Rights Campaign, bluntly said that Harris was an outstanding candidate for the vice president. Aimee Allison, the founder of "She the People", a group dedicated to promoting women of color to participate in politics, also believes that Harris is a descendant of Jamaican and Indian immigrants, which is of great significance to black women and women of color, and her nomination as vice president is of historic significance.

  The Republican party fired a heavy gun.

  On the other hand, many Republicans expressed surprise and dissatisfaction with Harris becoming the vice presidential candidate.

  Reuters reported that many Republicans described Harris as a "radical" and accused her of giving priority to supporting far-left affairs, such as carrying out large-scale police system reform. US President Trump also expressed surprise at Biden’s choice. He thought Harris was "the most despicable, terrible and disrespectful person in the US Senate" and "one of the biggest liberals".

  Marsha Blackburn, a Republican senator, claimed that Harris’s election as vice presidential candidate reflected that the Democratic Party had been taken over by "left-wing forces" because she supported the abolition of private insurance and universal health insurance. In addition, NBC reported that Ronna McDaniel, chairman of the Republican National Committee, said on Twitter that Harris’s "extreme position" showed that "the left wing ‘ Thug ’ They are controlling Biden’s choice, just as they will push Biden to the presidency.
