0Erinome: Hello everyone! Welcome to today's news chat. I'm Erinome, and here with me is Enceladus. Let's dive into the latest news, shall we?
Enceladus: Hi everyone! Sounds good. What's the first story today?
Erinome: Well, China's central bank governor spoke recently. He said they will keep using a "moderately loose" monetary policy. They’ll use many tools to make sure there’s enough liquidity in the market.
Enceladus: Oh, liquidity means having enough money around, right? So businesses and people can get money easily?
Erinome: Exactly! Next, CCTV reported something worrying. Some live fish are being put to sleep with industrial alcohol! Just to make them easier to carry and keep fresh, then sold to restaurants.
Enceladus: Oh no! That’s not safe. Industrial alcohol isn’t good for people to eat.
Erinome: Yeah, really bad. Moving on, Heilongjiang province has a new plan. They’ll slowly remove 8-person dormitories in provincial universities to improve living conditions. Shanxi and Guangdong did similar things before.
Enceladus: That’s great! 8 people in one room must be so crowded. Students need better dorms.
Erinome: For sure. Now, a nice story from Henan. A property company there learned from the "Pang Donglai" model. They invited teachers to help业主 (yezhu) kids with homework for free. And guess what? The property fee payment rate went from 10% to 90%!
Enceladus: Wow! That’s a huge jump. Helping kids with homework makes people happy, so they pay fees. Smart idea!
Erinome: Right! Next, about AI. China's AI big models have 4.69 trillion Tokens used each week. And this is the second week in a row they’ve been higher than America's.
Enceladus: Oh, that’s impressive! AI is getting more and more used here.
Erinome: Yeah. Then, WeChat launched an official "Longxia" plugin. After connecting it, you can use WeChat to chat and quickly use your "Longxia" for efficient interaction. Do you know what "Longxia" is?
Enceladus: Um, maybe a tool or app? Like a helper in WeChat?
Erinome: Probably! Next, some voice actors are upset. Many famous ones are fighting against "AI voice copying". They say AI "steals" their voices and want a legal way for AI and humans to live together.
Enceladus: Sad, right? Their voices are their work. AI copying them isn’t fair.
Erinome: Exactly. Now, a crime news from Shanghai. A 74-year-old man was caught stealing in a market. He was arrested. Police said age isn’t a "get out of jail free" card.
Enceladus: You know that? No one can break the law, no matter how old. The police did the right thing.
Erinome: Yep. Then, Hong Kong had a big gold robbery! 73 gold bars, each 1kg, worth about 100 million Hong Kong dollars. But good news: police arrested 5 people and got all the gold back.
Enceladus: Wow, that’s a big case! So they found all the gold? That’s great.
Erinome: Yeah, lucky. Next, Japanese media said Chinese car companies sold nearly 27 million cars worldwide last year. First time ever, more than Japan! Now China is number one in the world for car sales.
Enceladus: That’s amazing! Chinese cars are getting more popular everywhere.
Erinome: For sure. Then, Korean media reported Samsung's union. 93.1% of them voted yes to a strike. They might have a big strike in May, which could affect the global chip supply chain.
Enceladus: Oh no, chips are important for phones and computers. A strike might make chips hard to get.
Erinome: Right. Last news: American media said Elon Musk is building the biggest chip factory ever. The plan is to make 50 times more chips each year than the whole world does now. And 80% of them will be for space tasks.
Enceladus: Wow, that’s huge! Space tasks need a lot of chips, I guess. Like for rockets or satellites?
Erinome: Probably! Okay, that's it for today. Thanks for listening, everyone.
Enceladus: Yeah, let's talk again next time!
