Erinome: Hello everyone! Welcome to our daily news podcast. 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 the first one. What's up?
Erinome: Well, two departments said that in February, Northeast and North China have high risks of low-temperature rain, snow, ice and snow disasters. Oh no, that sounds dangerous for people there.
Enceladus: Yeah, hope everyone stays safe and prepared. Next news?
Erinome: 31 provinces released last year's fiscal revenue. Guangdong is first again! But Shanxi, Neimenggu, Qinghai and Shaanxi saw a decline. Wow, Guangdong is really strong, huh?
Enceladus: Totally! They always lead. What about the counties' GDP?
Erinome: Oh right! Among China's top 5 counties by GDP, Jiangsu has 4. Kunshan's GDP is over 560 billion yuan, and it's been the first in China's top 100 counties for 22 years in a row. Haha, Jiangsu is killing it!
Enceladus: That's amazing. Any new policies from cities?
Erinome: Chongqing issued a package of new real estate policies. Multi-child families can get 20,000 to 30,000 yuan subsidies when buying houses. That might help families with many kids, you know?
Enceladus: Yeah, could be a good support. What about the economy numbers?
Erinome: RMB's spot exchange rate against USD broke 6.93, a 33-month high! And spot gold is back to 5000 USD, while domestic gold jewelry price broke 1560 yuan per gram. Wow, gold is getting so expensive now!
Enceladus: Oh, I need to tell my mom. She likes gold. Next, any news for students?
Erinome: Yes! Nanjing, Suzhou, Yangzhou primary and middle schools' spring break time is out. They'll have April 1-3 off, and connecting the Qingming holiday, students can rest for 6 days! That's cool! Students must be happy, haha.
Enceladus: Lucky them! I wish I had that when I was in school. What's next?
Erinome: Something fun! The first Global Humanoid Robot Free Fighting League will be held. 16 teams will join the main match, and the champion gets a pure gold belt worth 10 million yuan. Um, robot fighting? That sounds so interesting!
Enceladus: I want to watch that! Any sports news?
Erinome: Milan Winter Olympics! Gu Ailing won China's first silver medal. She was only 0.38 points behind the champion. Sad, but she did great! So close.
Enceladus: Yeah, she tried her best. What about companies?
Erinome: Gaode Dache was interviewed. The reason? Poor management of cooperative ride-hailing platforms, lowering fares, and improper emergency handling. Oh no, they need to fix these problems quickly.
Enceladus: Hope they improve. Any museum news?
Erinome: Nanjing Museum incident has a latest notice. 24 people were dealt with, and the museum issued an apology letter, saying they'll deeply reflect and rectify. Hope they do better next time.
Enceladus: Last news?
Erinome: Japanese media said Japan's 2025 real average wage was down 1.3% year-on-year. That's the 4th consecutive year of negative growth. That's not good for Japanese people.
Enceladus: Yeah, hope things get better for them.
Erinome: Okay, that's it for today's news. Thanks for listening, everyone! We'll talk again next time. Bye!
Enceladus: Bye!
