Erinome:Hello dear friends! Welcome to today’s news chat. I’m Erinome, and with me is Enceladus. Let’s check out some interesting news together, okay?
Enceladus:Hi everyone! Yeah, let’s start. What’s the first one?
Erinome:First, Lou Qinjian, the spokesperson of the conference, said that in the next ten years or so, China’s middle-income group may exceed 800 million people. Wow, that’s a big number!
Enceladus:Oh right! 800 million is like a lot of people. That means more people can have better lives, right?
Erinome:Exactly! Then, there are two suggestions from committee members. Hong Mingji suggested reducing the college entrance exam English score from 150 to 100. And Xiong Shuilong suggested removing the "address" information from ID cards. What do you think?
Enceladus:Hmm, English score change… Some students might be happy, haha. And ID card address? Maybe for privacy?
Erinome:Maybe! Next, about property management. By 2025, the average property fee collection rate of the top 500 property companies has dropped to 71%, and it’s been falling for four years in a row. Oh no, that’s not good for the companies.
Enceladus:Sad, right? They need to find ways to improve, maybe better service?
Erinome:Yes. Then, a new fire safety rule for high-rise buildings in Guangdong will take effect. It says electric bikes and their batteries can’t enter elevators. That makes sense, to prevent fires.
Enceladus:Oh right! Electric bike fires are dangerous. Good rule!
Erinome:Next, China’s quantum mobile phone is here! It says the call content can’t be wiretapped. It’s expected to be launched for civilian use by the end of this year or early next year. Wow, that’s cool!
Enceladus:Quantum technology! So safe, you know? I want one, haha.
Erinome:Me too! Then, iPhone 17 has a problem. Many users complained about serious fading. Some said the orange color turned pink after only one month. Oh no, that’s bad quality.
Enceladus:Sad for Apple users. Hope they fix it soon.
Erinome:Next, China set a new world record for short-distance maglev acceleration! It reached 800 km/h in 5.3 seconds. That’s super fast!
Enceladus:Wow! Like a rocket! So cool.
Erinome:Right! Then, PetroChina’s market value exceeded 2.14 trillion yuan. It took back the top spot in A-share market value after seven years.
Enceladus:Big company! Good for them.
Erinome:Last one for today: many securities companies are trying 7×24-hour bank-securities transfers. It breaks the traditional trading time limit, so money can be transferred and used anytime. That’s convenient!
Enceladus:Yes! No more waiting for trading hours. Nice.
Erinome:Okay, that’s all the news for today. Thanks for listening, everyone!
Enceladus:See you next time! Bye!
