Erinome: Hello dear listeners! Welcome to our daily news chat. I'm Erinome.
Enceladus: And I'm Enceladus. Let's jump into today's top stories, shall we?
Erinome: First up, some economic news. The National Bureau of Statistics said China's GDP in the first three quarters of this year was 1015036 billion yuan. That's a 5.2% increase from last year. Oh, and experts think we have a good chance to reach the 5% growth target for the whole year!
Enceladus: Wow, 5.2% is pretty good! So we might even beat the target? That’s nice to hear.
Enceladus: Next, about family support. The Medical Insurance Bureau said by November 1st, 25 provinces (almost 90% of areas) will let birth allowance go directly to people. No more waiting for companies to pass it on!
Erinome: Oh, that’s much better! New parents can get the money faster. That should help a lot, right?
Erinome: Now, weather warning. Typhoon Fengshen, the 24th this year, has become a strong tropical storm. In Hainan, some trains in and out of the island have stopped. And in Guangxi, boats from Beihai to Weizhou Island aren’t running either.
Enceladus: Oh no, hope everyone there stays safe! Typhoons can be really dangerous.
Enceladus: Let’s talk about trade. The 138th Canton Fair Phase 1 just ended. Over 157,000 foreign buyers came in person—6.3% more than last time! That’s a new record for this period.
Erinome: That’s a big number! More buyers mean more business. Good for China’s trade, huh?
Erinome: Tech fans, listen up! Unitree Technology released their new H2 humanoid robot. It’s 180cm tall, 70kg, and get this—it can dance, do martial arts, and even walk the catwalk!
Enceladus: Haha, a robot doing catwalk? That sounds funny and cool! I need to watch the video later.
Enceladus: Now, house prices. In September, most cities in the 70-city list saw home prices go down. But Shanghai and Hangzhou went up 0.3%—they’re leading the country!
Erinome: Oh, so some big cities still have small growth. Interesting. Not all cities are down then.
Erinome: Fast trains alert! The CR450 bullet train is being tested. It just set a new record—453 km/h! Next year, it will have full tests on the Chengdu-Chongqing middle line.
Enceladus: Wow, 453 km/h! That’s like flying on the ground. Imagine how quick travel will be!
Enceladus: Cool video time! Musk shared a drone light show from Liuyang. 16,000 drones flew together and broke a Guinness record. Netizens said it looked like AI-generated—it was so beautiful!
Erinome: Oh, I saw clips of that! The drones made all kinds of shapes. No wonder Musk noticed it. It was like stars moving in the sky.
Erinome: Now, about fighting fraud. Myanmar cracked down on telecom fraud parks. They found 30 Starlink devices and caught 2198 people involved in fraud or gambling.
Enceladus: Sad that there are such bad parks, but good they’re being stopped. Fraud hurts so many people.
Enceladus: And Cambodia sent back 64 Korean telecom fraud suspects. Reports say the total number of Koreans involved there might be more than 1,000. That’s way more than we thought before!
Erinome: Hope this helps stop cross-border fraud. Working together is key, right?
Erinome: Okay, that’s all the news for today. Thanks for tuning in!
Enceladus: Yeah, see you next time, everyone! Stay safe and have a good day!
