Erinome: Hello dear friends, welcome to our daily news podcast! I'm Erinome.  

Enceladus: And I'm Enceladus. Let's see what important news we have today, shall we?  

Erinome: First, the CCTV 315 Gala曝光 (baoguang, exposed) a list of bad things. You know what? They found bleached chicken feet, unqualified "magic medicine", quantum height increase scams, fake medical experts, illegal electric bikes, AI poison supply chains, and made-up stock recommendation scams. Oh no, that's really terrible!  

Enceladus: Oh right, 315 Gala always exposes these bad things. So what will happen next?  

Erinome: The Market Regulatory Bureau said they will fully investigate all the illegal acts exposed by the 3·15 Gala. Good, they should do that to protect people!  

Enceladus: Next news: In Guangdong, many Meiyijia stores were reported selling fake cigarettes. Wow, officials said they seized 1.3999 million illegal cigarettes, and 306 stores are involved. That's a lot of stores!  

Erinome: Fake cigarettes are not only bad for health but also against the law. Hope they check all the stores well.  

Enceladus: Then, the Market Regulatory Bureau released 2025 consumer rights data. They受理 (shouli, received) 20.366 million complaints and recovered over 4 billion yuan in economic losses. That's a big number!  

Erinome: Yeah, it shows people are more aware of their rights now. And the bureau really helped get money back for them.  

Enceladus: Let's talk about the Central Bank. They announced that on March 16th, they will开展 (kaizhan, carry out) a 500 billion yuan buyout repo operation, with a 6-month term. Um, repo? Maybe to help the economy, you know that?  

Erinome: Maybe! Repo operations usually help banks have more money to lend, so businesses and people can get loans easier.  

Enceladus: Next, there's a new rule for personal loan fees. The total financing cost will be shown in a table, starting August 1st. That's good, right?  

Erinome: Oh yes! No more hidden fees. People can see the cost clearly before taking a loan.  

Enceladus: A sad news from Yunnan. A villager in Yanshan killed a pig at home and sold it at the village entrance. He was fined 5000 yuan. He said he just wanted to earn some living expenses and has paid the fine. Sad, he probably didn't know it's illegal.  

Erinome: Yeah, maybe he needs to learn the rules first. Selling pork should follow food safety laws.  

Enceladus: Then, some "shrimp farmers" are being backlashed. Their IP, names, work units and other info were exposed in a 3000-people group by "lobster". Oh no, exposing personal info is not good!  

Erinome: That's right, everyone's privacy should be protected.  

Enceladus: Good news for "AI lobster farming"! The project founder announced that Tencent has officially become a sponsor of OpenClaw. Wow, AI for lobster farming? That sounds interesting!  

Erinome: Maybe AI can help farmers raise lobsters better, like monitoring water or food. Cool!  

Enceladus: Travel news: Direct flight from Beijing to Pyongyang will resume from March 30th, and tickets are now available for booking.  

Erinome: That's convenient for people who want to visit Pyongyang. More choices for travel!  

Enceladus: Last news: Japanese media said Japan will release about 80 million barrels of national oil reserves starting from the 16th. That's equal to 45 days of oil supply they need.  

Erinome: Maybe they want to keep oil prices stable? Who knows, but it's a big amount.  

Enceladus: Okay, that's all for today's news. Thanks for listening, dear friends!  

Erinome: Let's talk again next time. Bye!
