Erinome: Hello everyone! Welcome to our daily news chat. I'm Erinome, and sitting next to me is Enceladus. Let's dive into today's top stories, shall we?
Enceladus: Sure! Let's start with health news first. I heard the China CDC has some updates about flu, right?
Erinome: Oh yes! They said 17 provinces are now at a high flu level. And this round of flu might peak in mid-December. Oh no, that’s a lot of provinces. Everyone should wear masks and wash hands more, you know that?
Enceladus: Totally! Stay healthy, everyone. Next, let's talk about teachers. Sichuan province has a new policy—they encourage schools to let teachers have "flexible work hours". And课后服务 can’t be linked to job promotion.
Erinome: Wow, that might help teachers balance work and life, right? Maybe less stress for them.
Enceladus: I think so! Now, sports news. The Chinese Football Association announced new salary rules for the Chinese Super League.
Erinome: Oh, tell me! What’s the max salary?
Enceladus: Domestic players can get up to 5 million yuan a year, and foreign players up to 3 million euros. Also, each club’s yearly spending can’t超过600 million yuan. Haha, maybe this will help the football league become healthier?
Erinome: Let’s hope! Moving to economy: the Ministry of Commerce said in the first 11 months, "trade-in" programs (you know, exchange old things for new)带动 over 2.5 trillion yuan in sales. And it helped more than 360 million people!
Enceladus: That’s a huge number! 2.5 trillion yuan—wow, people really love getting new things, huh?
Erinome: Probably! Next, bank news. Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) raised the threshold for their 3-year large deposit to 1 million yuan. But the interest rate is 1.55%, same as depositing 200,000 yuan. And now it’s显示 "sold out".
Enceladus: Um, why higher threshold but same rate? Maybe people still want safe investments, so it sold out fast. Interesting.
Erinome: Right. Now, a live streamer story: Zhang Xuefeng was banned from live streaming because he used bad words for a long time. He said the ban is over, he has反省 deeply, and won’t do it again.
Enceladus: Sad to hear he used bad words, but good he learned his lesson. Hope he behaves better now.
Erinome: Let’s talk about space! Zhuque-3 reusable rocket had its first flight—successfully entered orbit! But the first stage rocket回收 test failed. There was a fire, and it didn’t land softly.
Enceladus: Oh, mixed news! Success in entering orbit is great, but回收 failed. Maybe next time they can fix the problem. Science needs trying, right?
Erinome: Exactly! More science news: Chinese scientists made new progress in quantum research. They ended the big debate between Einstein and Bohr!
Enceladus: Wow! That’s a huge step in science. Einstein and Bohr argued about quantum for so long—amazing our scientists solved it.
Erinome: So cool! Now, business between China and Germany. A German Chamber report says 93% of German companies don’t want to leave China in the next two years. And 53% plan to invest more here!
Enceladus: That’s good to hear! Strong business ties help both sides, I think.
Erinome: Yep! Travel news: Cambodia will try a visa-free policy for Chinese citizens next year. You can stay up to 14 days each time.
Enceladus: Yay! Travel to Cambodia will be easier now. Maybe more people will visit there.
Erinome: Last story: Australia has a new rule for social media. Starting December 10th, people under 16 can’t use social media. They’ll be auto logged out that day.
Enceladus: Hmm, maybe to protect kids from too much screen time? Parents might be happy about that.
Erinome: Probably! Okay, that’s all the news for today. Thanks for joining us, everyone.
Enceladus: Yeah, see you next time! Bye!
