Last Sunday, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang held a special meeting to “stabilize foreign trade.” As one of the troikas of the Chinese economy, he believes that “the foreign trade environment is still grim and complex,” and “this must be fully estimated and prepared for.” The data also confirms this statement. Although the export of anti-epidemic materials has grown vigorously, China’s May foreign trade data is still dragged down by a variety of factors-exports have shifted from rising to falling, and imports have continued to be double-struck by volume and price to refresh the lowest for more than four years.

In 1924, exactly at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, Lenin passed away. The Soviet people renamed Saint Petersburg Leningrad to commemorate this revolutionary leader. In the same year, in the Soviet Union’s hostile country during World War I-Germany, a doctor named Hanks Berger discovered for the first time a sign in the human brain-the EEG signal . Through EEG signals, activities in the brain can be converted into electronic signals for reading, and at this point, people have found a way to obtain information from the mysterious brain.

At the end of May, Magic Leap CEO Rony Abovitz announced his retirement. During this coaching change, the outside world generally believes that Magic Leap’s past strategy to create consumer-grade AR glasses “lost all.” Magic Leap, the most watched company in the AR industry, has been exposed to a series of negative news in the past six months. First in November last year, Magic Leap was revealed that as early as August, it had pledged all 1,903 patents under its name to JPMorgan Chase in exchange for commercial loans, and is in the E round of financing.

Recently I heard a photographer say something. When he was eating in a restaurant, he took a picture of Zhangluofan powder and uploaded it to a photo photography community. Within a few days, he received a share of more than a dozen dollars on his account. The gain is due to the fact that this image was adopted by an explosive gourmet article through copyright distribution. The photographer quipped, “Take a picture, and you’ll earn a meal.” This community is called Graphworm and is a product of ByteDance. Compared with Douyin, Toutiao and other popular apps, Tutu’s attention and discussion…

What’s hottest in the game circle recently “Last Survivor 2” is absolutely unwilling to sell, and sold 4 million copies within 3 days of opening, setting a new PS4 first-party game sales record. However, there was a huge controversy that followed, and the gap between a player rating as low as 4.6 and a media rating as high as 94 also pushed the game to the forefront. This momentum even overshadowed the PlayStation 5 that Sony recently released. PlayStation has accumulated more than 400 million sales in the 25 years since its birth, making it the best-selling home game console…

On the first anniversary of 5G commercial use, domestic 5G construction has developed by leaps and bounds in depth and breadth. Since June, the three major operators and various organizations have successively displayed “transcripts”. For example, in the construction speed of 5G, more than 10,000 base stations are added every week.

In height, 5G signal coverage has reached the highest peak in the world, Everest. In addition, as of May this year, the number of 5G package users of…

The impact of the epidemic is all-round, not only offline physical consumption, but also in the investment field. Jing Wei, the founder of Jingwei China, revealed at the Rebuild 2020 conference that the company experienced a “shrinkage” of investment in the first half of this year. In the current situation, companies that can successfully finance against the trend are worthy of careful study. A few days ago, Yuanxin Technology (Dr. Miao Shou) announced that it has received D1 round of RMB 600 million in financing, including well-known institutions such as Qiming Venture Capital, CITIC Securities, and Sequoia Capital. Yuanxin Technology,…

Just as the people reversed the “true and false advertising contracts” for Tencent and Laoganma, and then reversed eating, a major event in the To B industry was quietly causing shocks. Recently, a number of foreign media have disclosed that the US “Export Management Regulations” have been upgraded, and the members of the entity list companies are constantly adjusting. Affected by this, Inspur Group became another “giant” enterprise after Huawei’s cessation of supply. It is understood that Intel suspended the export wave at 11:59 on June 29. Unless authorized, Intel products are not subject to the “Export Management Regulations”, or…

At the just past WWDC2020, Apple announced that it added native sleep monitoring to watchOS 7: as long as the user wears the Apple Watch before falling asleep, it can determine whether the user is asleep by detecting wrist movements and calculate the length of sleep. The early Apple Watch focused on heart rate monitoring and fitness functions. In the following years, Apple has added features such as fall detection, emergency call, menstrual tracking and noise detection to this device. This “personal” device can do more and more things. In 2019, the growth rate of the Apple Watch business was…

Nearly four years after its release, Apple revealed its ambitions to place on the AirPods product line. Before the WWDC20 conference was held, the upgraded AirPods Pro in the AirPods product line was just a true wireless headset with active noise reduction function. It has been the most popular one in the same category for half a year since its public sale. Sales volume is far ahead of other competitors. But Apple is not satisfied with this. With iOS 14 just announced on WWDC20, Apple tried to give AirPods Pro more new capabilities. Based on the new software, AirPods Pro…
