On May 27, 2021, the 8th China Entrepreneur Development Annual Conference will be held in Chengdu. Song Zhiping, President of China Association of Listed Companies, delivered a speech at the meeting.

What is an entrepreneur? In Song Zhiping’s view, innovation and wealth creation are the general characteristics of entrepreneurs. But for Chinese entrepreneurs, there must be patriotism.

“Entrepreneurs must be a group of people who create wealth, but we must get rich first and help become rich, help the poor, support education, and fulfill social responsibilities. This is what we entrepreneurs should do.” Song Zhiping said. Entrepreneurs who meet the requirements of the times must focus on whether they have repaid the society and fulfilled their social responsibilities.

Song Zhiping gives an example, Recently, Mr. Cao Dewang used 10 billion from his wealth to establish the University of Applied Technology in Fujian. , This is a big thing. For example, in Germany, every city has a university of applied technology, which is equivalent to the former engineering college in China.and also Wang Shi donated part of Vanke’s corporate shares to Tsinghua and set up Tsinghua’s largest fund worth more than 7 billion to support education .

So Song Zhiping sighed that if entrepreneurs want to be respected, they must be educated, they must alleviate the poor, and they must support disadvantaged groups.

“The next step is to redefine entrepreneurs. We will not only define the success of the enterprise and how much wealth it creates, but also our innovation ability and fulfillment of social responsibility. Monopoly is not equal to entrepreneur . “Song Zhiping said.

Responding to criticism WhatsApp plans one-time messages

Status: 14.06.2021 11:19 a.m.

The WhatsApp chat service is responding to the growing criticism of its market power. The fears of many users are to be allayed with new functions for the protection of privacy. The WhatsApp chat service wants to stick to the complete encryption and is promising new functions to protect privacy. The company, which belongs to the US group Facebook, is launching an advertising campaign on data protection in Germany and Great Britain today. The countries are among their most important markets. Management’s ideas include the ability to send messages that the recipient can only view once. That could be useful, for example, if you have to send family members a password, said WhatsApp boss Will Cathcart.

Users also want to be able to set that chats disappear on their own after a certain period of time. “Overall, people don’t want their messages to last forever,” said Cathcart. “When we talk, we don’t have a recording device with us. So it’s strange that digital chat platforms save them forever.” The short promotional videos say that content sent on WhatsApp is basically only visible in clear text to the users involved thanks to the so-called end-to-end encryption.

Privacy activists alerted

WhatsApp has recently come under pressure for various reasons: On the one hand, the Announcement of the new usage rules caused criticism. Data protectionists warned that WhatsApp could increase data exchange with third-party companies and, above all, that data would also be shared with the parent company Facebook. WhatsApp rejected this and emphasized several times that the end-to-end encryption, with which the service itself does not have access to content, will not be weakened. WhatsApp boss Cathcart admitted errors in the announcement of the new rules. WhatsApp has not made it clear enough what you are doing and why: “We only became clearer when we saw the confusion. That is our responsibility,” said Cathcart.

More than two billion users

In view of the criticism, many people have apparently looked around for alternatives to the chat service. The company currently has more than two billion users. It is not known how many actually migrated. A vast majority of users who have already been asked to agree to the new rules would have accepted them, said Cathcart. He did not give exact numbers. Originally, users who do not agree to the new rules should lose access to basic functions over time. Meanwhile they no longer face any consequences . Only the new functions for communication with companies will only be able to be used after approval of the update. According to WhatsApp, they were the main reason for changing the terms of use.

05/15/2021

Attempt a charm offensive

The company’s move could have another reason: The parent company Facebook is currently not only under close observation in the USA . Last year, federal authorities and states filed lawsuits against the Internet giant Google and the online platform Facebook. They are accused of anti-competitive practices. The market power of the large technology groups is now seen as a problem by many governments around the world. Consumer advocates also warn: “The market power of the Facebook group forces users to communicate via WhatsApp,” says Lina Ehrig, the head of the digital and media team at the Federation of German Consumer Organizations. “From the consumer’s point of view, it would be ideal if messenger services are legally and technically designed in such a way that sustainable competition and the innovative strength of the market are promoted.” In order to promote competition, so-called interoperability would be a possible means from the point of view of consumer advocates: As a survey by the consumer advice center shows, around a third of users would be willing to switch messengers if messages could be shared between different providers.

Encryption dispute

For its part, Cathcart is targeting governments. They tried to soften the encryption in chat services. “I hope that, over time, governments will see that the most important role they can play is to keep people safe.” This could be done, for example, by setting standards for companies.

02/09/2020

WhatsApp argues with governments that end-to-end encryption helps protect the security of citizens. Facebook is still sticking to the plan to bring full encryption to its second chat service Messenger as the next step, said Cathcart. In several countries, governments and authorities are attempting the Complete encryption in chat services like WhatsApp . In Germany, too, there is a draft law with which the protection of the constitution is supposed to enable source telecommunications monitoring in encrypted chat services as well.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ and iPad Pro can both replace laptops in some tasks The tablet market share has long been considered a “playground” for devices from Apple. However, the arrival of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 and most recently the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ have directly threatened Apple’s “unique” position in the tablet market. Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 (Photo: Samsung.com) If the choice of a smartphone often depends only on configuration, front camera, rear camera, screen and battery life, then for choosing a tablet to replace a laptop, users will definitely need to consider more. some other factors are operating system, ecosystem, interface. While Apple is trying to perfect iPadOS so that the iPad can perform some more laptop functions, Samsung is looking to upgrade the Samsung Dex interface to make the experience on that interface more similar to a regular laptop. Samsung Dex (photo: Samsung) In terms of interface, the above commonly used applications of both devices are incomplete when placed in the task of replacing the laptop. Popular applications such as Instagram, Facebook still regularly change themselves vertically when users experience photo albums on both devices. In short, both still cannot escape being seen as enlarged versions of a phone. However, on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+, you can completely overcome this with Dex mode. Dex mode on Samsung Tab S7+ makes it possible to perform multiple tasks on multiple screens at the same time by dividing the screen just like on a laptop. (Photo: fptshop.com.vn) Regarding the screen, both devices are equipped with an 11-inch screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. While the screen on Samsung devices is longer, giving a feeling of overflow when watching movies, in return, the familiar screen ratio on the iPad Pro gives a more complete experience when playing games like Call of duty, Coalition, … because game manufacturers have not optimized according to Samsung screen ratio. Drawing-related software is well optimized on iPad (Photo: fptshop.com.vn) When determining to work on any tablet model, we need to consider the ability to connect to external devices. Both devices have good connectivity. You only need a Type C port to easily connect to storage devices, keyboards, and mice. However, if you are a person with a high need for drawing and writing on a tablet, the iPad is the device you need to pay more attention to because 3rd party drawing and writing applications are optimized for Apple devices. . In addition, iPad Pro offers Thunderbolt 4 connectivity, which is 4 times faster than the transfer speed of USB Gen 2. This is also a feature that users need to pay attention to. In short, both devices have their own advantages. If the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ brings the experience closer to a regular laptop thanks to the Samsung Dex solution, the iPad Pro offers a smoother experience. iPad Pro is currently sold genuine in Vietnam with the price from 19,990,000 VND for the 120GB memory version, only Wi-Fi, no accessories. This price is much higher than the Samsung Tab S7 + currently being sold genuine in Vietnam for 12,500,000 VND with Spen pen and keyboard.

Social network icon Facebook. Photo: AFP/VNA This is the first antitrust investigation that European Commissioner for Competition Margrethe Vestager has launched against the world’s number one social media provider and the latest she has launched into an American “tech giant”. Ms. Vestager had previously forced Alphabet – Google’s parent company to pay a fine of 8 billion euros (about 9.7 billion USD) and is conducting a similar investigation to Amazon and Apple. During the Facebook investigation, Ms. Vestager said she would review Facebook’s huge data warehouse collected from 7 million companies that have participated in advertising on this social network. The European Commission (EC) and the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) are investigating the possibility of Facebook exploiting its dominant position in the social network or digital advertising by collecting collects and uses data, and examines Facebook’s “distortion” of the advertising market through service classification. Ms. Vestager stressed that in today’s digital economy, data should not be used in ways that undermine competition. This tech giant may have to change its business model with large fines. Reacting to the EU and UK’s decision, Facebook said it will fully cooperate with the authorities of both sides to demonstrate that Facebook’s integrated “Marketplace” and dating platform provides all people with more choices and all operate in a highly competitive environment. In the role of “gatekeeper”, Facebook as well as other social networking platforms have collected a large amount of personal private information of users based on privacy terms to develop an integrated platform. Marketplace aims to increase competitive advantage over competitors. In the past, the UK has rarely conducted independent antitrust investigations into US tech giants. Since withdrawing from the EU, the UK’s antitrust division has become an independent global regulator. Andrea Coscelli, CEO of the CMA, has pledged to tackle companies like Google and Facebook with a series of antitrust lawsuits, and said he is open to working alongside colleagues in Brussels.

In its ups and downs, Internet Explorer was once the dominant browser in the world, accounting for 95% of the global market share, causing an antitrust lawsuit against Microsoft in the early 2000s. Now, Internet Explorer is at the end of its journey. Users around the world, including Vietnamese, have come together to share funny and touching photos that recall an unforgettable time about this world’s most popular browser. The superpower of Internet Explorer is that it comes pre-installed on every Windows computer, thanks to the monopoly of the father of Microsoft. Internet Explorer used to make users obsessed with dozens of toolbars arbitrarily inserted into this browser. To this day, Internet Explorer is still quite popular in Japan. Even the god of death can’t drag Internet Explorer away, because this browser often ‘freezes’ when loading heavy pages. Internet Explorer and Microsoft have since split in two, taking the metaphorical image in Fast & Furious 7 when the producer of this film was forced to part with actor Paul Walker because he died in a car accident. Internet Explorer is also the inspiration for the famous webtoon of the same name that is still being created. During a long time when Internet Explorer was exclusive to the Windows operating system, users often used this browser to download other browsers such as Chrome, Firefox or Opera. Internet Explorer makes users obsessed with slowness and many holes that make even the monsters of the Pixar family scared. The classic Internet Explorer error message window: you have been crashed. Surfing the web with Internet Explorer has never been easy when it’s difficult to fully load a web page. Phuong Nguyen (synthetic)

According to the lawsuit, Apple receives about 30% of the cost of purchasing an app. Apple has denied these allegations and said it would be open to discussing “the commitment to consumers and the many benefits the App Store has brought to the UK’s innovation economy”. The company also compared the App Store to other digital marketplaces and reiterated that the majority of developers don’t pay Apple for anything because 84% of the apps on the App Store are free. Last month, the European Union (EU) officially accused Apple of relying on the App Store, which has gradually eliminated competitors in the field of streaming (streaming). In March, UK competition authorities also launched an investigation into Apple related to the App Store.

This year, Xiaomi also introduced Mi Air Charging Technology, which in the future can remotely charge multiple devices at the same time.

Dogecoin – a cryptocurrency that was born as a joke – has a market cap of more than $ 66 billion. In addition to Bitcoin, Ether and Dogecoin, CoinGecko tracks more than 7,000 other cryptocurrencies. However, according to Bloomberg Most investors want to observe Bitcoin and Ether – the two largest cryptocurrencies in the world. Bitcoin is designed as an exchange currency without the need for any intermediaries. This is a new form of money, verified through encryption technology in peer-to-peer (P2P) systems. The ledger (blockchain) records all Bitcoin purchases. Bitcoin is a store worth more than $ 1 trillion. However, it does not contain any buildings, executives, lawyers, political structures or employment organizations. Bitcoin also does not need an accounting even if it is a digital ledger. Bitcoin and Ether are the two most popular cryptocurrencies in the world. Photo: Reuters. Digital gold Bitcoin token does central work, security, and upgrades for new innovations. Mid-sized computer companies that manage machines carry out transactions. These are called “miners”, just like a digital mining company that mines digital gold. Because there are no intermediaries, Bitcoin can efficiently, inexpensively and unpolitically solve the problem of long-distance value transfers. So far, the Bitcoin system proves to be one of the most versatile technologies we have ever had. Bitcoin has little or no value when it was first activated in January 2009. By April 2021, Bitcoin’s price hit a record of nearly $ 65,000. And Ethereum was developed by Vitalik Buterin – a Russian Canadian teenager – in 2013. Initially, Buterin loved Bitcoin but quickly became dissatisfied with its limits. Buterin is determined to start building a system that can do more. His vision is to create a blockchain that stores smart contracts – executing specific tasks in case certain conditions are met. In other words, the only limit to transactions running on Ethereum is the imagination of the developers. Bitcoin’s price has risen almost 100% since the beginning of 2021, while the price of Ether has climbed nearly 400%. The question is what Ethereum borrowed from Bitcoin. It’s the idea behind a decentralized network that records purchases. Both systems are public and are built on open source software. Both also have miners. They perform complex calculations used to verify transactions and receive new types of digital currencies. The system also received criticism for its high energy consumption. One estimate shows that the Bitcoin network used more electricity than Sweden within a year. Bitcoin has been referred to as a form of “digital gold”. Of course, this cryptocurrency is highly volatile and has seen bubbles crash many times. However, some investors hold Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation due to the limited supply. Bitcoin price is also unaffected by other assets. Therefore, many investors use them to diversify their portfolios. Investors often view Ether as a type of growth investment. They bet on the development of a decentralized ecosystem built on top of Ethereum Phil Bonello Ethereum is also going through a development process. But the first boom happened in 2017 with a series of ICOs (first cryptocurrency releases). Many cryptocurrencies were born, used to exchange Ether and most used the Ethereum blockchain. Ether price then hit a record of 1,200 USD / dong. The second boom comes in 2020 as decentralized finance (DeFi) projects thrive. These startups pay interest on Bitcoin or Ether deposits, mortgage lending or cryptocurrency swaps on decentralized exchanges. The Ethereum network is therefore used for financial management, lending and mortgages. All without banks and brokers. Along with that is the hot development of irreplaceable tokens (NFT), a kind of virtual item that is authenticated by blockchain technology, with the digital signature of the owner. NFT is an indivisible, intact asset stored on the blockchain platform through a smart contract, non-destructive, verifiable, and has no second copy. The work has a name Ev erydays: The First 5000 Days Crypto artist Beeple’s was sold for $ 69.4 million at an auction by Christie’s. Threats of Bitcoin’s monopoly position The prices of Bitcoin and Ether have not fluctuated much between 2018 and 2020, also known as the “crypto winter”. But both benefit when governments pump money heavily into the economy to deal with the effects of the Covid-19 epidemic. MicroStrategy Inc. – a software and consulting firm – and billionaire Elon Musk’s electric car company Tesla has invested in Bitcoin. Wall Street and many other financial institutions are also starting to accept Bitcoin. Morgan Stanley and PMorgan Chase & Co. All open digital tracking channels for customers. Meanwhile, the price of Ether is driven by the activities going on on the world’s most popular blockchain. The company has undergone several upgrades to improve its network. The change is also likely to reduce supply. That will drive up the price by increasing the attraction and limiting the amount of Ether available. “Investors often see Ether as a type of growth investment. They bet on the development of a decentralized ecosystem built on top of Ethereum,” said Phil Bonello, Research Director at Grayscale Investments. , comment. Ether price peaked at more than 4,200 USD / dong on May 10. Photo: Coin Desk. The Ethereum network is used more than Bitcoin, and countless developers are still working on. Bitcoin currently accounts for about 46% of the total cryptocurrency market value, down from 70% earlier this year. The rate of Ether is 15%. However, extreme legal or tax risks could threaten the growth of Bitcoin and Ether in a number of countries. Along with that is the risk of fraud or investors forget the digital financial code. Some observers consider the cryptocurrency boom a bubble. Large institutions – often referred to as “whales”, which hold huge volumes of cryptocurrency – can also adjust prices at will. Even crypto proponents argue that the sector is very volatile. However, Bitcoin and Ether have recovered from a downtrend over the years and are increasingly adopted as a mainstream financial asset.

Journalists of Science and Technology Journalists’ Club visited Viettel High Tech Industry Corporation. Lt. Col. Nguyen Cuong Hoang, Deputy General Director of Viettel High-Tech Industry Corporation, said that VHT operates in three main areas: military technology, telecommunications technology and civil equipment. As the main unit of Viettel in the field of research and development, up to now, VHT has had 276 industrial property registration applications, of which in 2020, 48 core technologies have been completed. product, registered and accepted 66 patent application. The VHT has been granted four new international patents by the US Patent and Trademark Administration (USPTO). In addition, VHT is also granted 19 domestic patents, 5 utility solutions and 7 exclusive design rights, 25 articles are published and presented in prestigious domestic scientific journals and conferences and international. Protection of intellectual property by registering national and international patents is an important basis for VHT to own core technology, ready to integrate into the world, fully competitive. with international corporations, affirming Viettel’s leading position in research and development of “Make in Vietnam” products. In addition, VHT always goes hand in hand with the Government in promoting and developing intellectual property mechanisms. Mr. Phan Thanh Hai, Director of the Appraisal Center, Department of Intellectual Property – Ministry of Science and Technology, said that in the last 5 years, the number of patent applications of Viettel has grown continuously. The fact that Viettel has 4 US patents is of great significance in asserting the technological capacity and the development orientation of market expansion of Vietnamese enterprises.

Voto car cockpit simulation model In which, invention The supporting mechanism for the robot is parallel to the spring system with constant power received exclusive patents from the US Patent and Trademark Office. From manufacturing simulated cars to airplanes … Working at the Simulation Modeling Center, Viettel High-Tech Industry Corporation (VHT) under Viettel Group, is Viettel’s main research and production unit in the military and civil fields, Cu Xuan Hung day and night diligently learning, exploring and utilizing human knowledge to master core technology, creating many simulation products in the military field such as the tank control training simulation system, airplanes, personal shooting, car driving simulations … make an important contribution to the modernization of the army, exporting products to the world. One of the typical products of the VHT research group is to successfully manufacture a Su-30 aircraft simulation for military operations. Right from the beginning of the work, the team stumbled on … a rock when asking the question of buying parameters with the manufacturer, the answer that the VHT engineers received was shaking their heads. They had to mobilize all input data sources from reality in related documents and learn knowledge through many different channels such as the Internet, books, magazines at home and abroad, even going abroad to study. . To simulate an airplane, it takes parameters to perform mathematical equations to represent the state of the plane as well as the situation the plane needs to process. Meanwhile, the parameters of the Su-30 aircraft are unknown. In the end, Hung and VHT’s team found more than 100 types of parameter sets and the testing process alone took several years for the VHT engineers. In the world, only Russia is the only country that owns the Su-30 aircraft simulation technology, the quality of products of the Su-30 aircraft simulation model of the VHT research team is assessed by partners. The height is remarkable. Another product successfully researched and manufactured by Hung and VHT is a driving training simulation system called Voto. The system uses modern simulation equipment and technology, bringing the most authentic experience and feeling to the practitioner, is expected to be a safe and effective solution in driver training. Voto is expected to be Vietnam’s first standard and compliant product for a driving simulator cabin for car driving training. Hung and VHT have applied “the invention of the supporting structure for parallel robot with spring system with constant power” in the research and manufacture of Voto. Thanks to this invention, the model of the car cockpit is truly simulated with the drive control cluster (steering wheel, gear lever, clutch, accelerator, brake …) and the clock system showing speed and rotation. equivalent to real vehicle equipment. It is known that the simulation model of Hung and the VHT team is preparing to be mass produced to bring to the market. … to a patent in the US and the aspiration to reach out For every scientist, having a research topic being patented, especially an invention protected by the United States is considered a special achievement, because the US is a country with such leading technology. Gender, the criteria for approval and certification is a very rigorous and thorough process. By the end of 2020, Viettel has had 4 patents, covering all 3 main areas of activity, including military, telecommunications infrastructure, and civil. The invention helps affirm that Viettel can completely master core technologies, making the most difficult products in the field of software development, especially the database system on memory … One of 4 patent plates The invention issued in the US is that of Cu Xuan Hung and the invention group of “supporting structure for the robot parallel with a spring system with constant power”. It is known that this invention of Hung and the research team has been immediately applied to the production of simulation models of tanks and cars for military training and testing. Talking about the patent and other achievements, Hung shared: “Getting patents or intellectual property is not to beautify the product, but our goal is to achieve product recognition. Viettel is on par with the world. This is an important requirement on the way that the product will gradually be optimized for consumers. VHT does not create products like an inventor, but we create products to contribute to the country, for everyone and contribute a part to build the Group. We call it the startup spirit at VHT, ”said Hung. Mr. Nguyen Vu Ha, General Director of VHT said, “US-protected patents are the recognition of inventions and scientific research, thereby, affirming that Vietnam can stand shoulder to shoulder with public corporations. major technology such as Huawei, LG, Nokia … Having these results, VHT has overcome many difficulties and difficulties not only from research, registration but also practical implementation. Currently, the unit is actively applying the value of invention effectively, contributing to building a growing and growing enterprise, raising the position of Vietnamese knowledge to the world ”.

The average height of the Truong Son is 2,000 m, with many heights of over 2,500 m like a wall of citadel in the western border of the S-shaped strip of land. Throughout its length the Truong Son meanders and at times it seems that it wants to come close to the East Sea leaving only a thin strip of plain like rice leaves and the thinnest place is Quang Binh. Sticking to that thin strip of plain, the roads through Vietnam were easily blocked by the US air force. Therefore, in order to bring soldiers and goods to the South of the transport roads of the 559 line, it was compulsory to go round to Laos. But in order to get to Laos, people had to cross the top of Truong Son. Heaven Gate is one of those streets. Heaven Gate – surely it must be very tall to have that name “arrogant”. Standing at the bottom of the slope, looking up could not see the top, only seeing the mountain pass. Its ascending dimension alone was nearly 30 km. Heaven Gate is also known by another name – that is Monkey Pass – probably because it is too craggy and dangerous, only descendants of Emperor Sun Wukong live and pass here (?). Heard that there were many wheelchairs down the cliff from a height of thousands of meters. Heaven Gate is also known as “Bag Bom” because tens of kilometers of passes are the focus of the attack of the US Air Force, the road is unique and dangerous, when being beaten, it is impossible to avoid where to go. It is said that there are dozens of air raids of all types of aircraft, including the B-52s. I don’t know how bad the reality is, but looking up, I only see the sores like the stone age … I just heard it, I’ve seen it creepy. […] 17 o’clock. Mountain mist has spread to the table. In the sky the marker had flown south and disappeared. Company leader Than gave the order to set off. The sky darkened, the more difficult the way to go: The towering cliffs seemed to just collapse on the road, below is the abyss. The road is narrow, just two tank chains, there is a place where the borrowed land has been raked up and rushed down the cliff, the bends of the sleeves also appear more and more. The driver’s back of the shirt was wet with sweat, eyes strained to look at the road, both hands tugged the steering wheel continuously, then shifted gear, downshift. Binh muttered: – The road with nothing but only cows number 1, number 2 like this. Unexpectedly, company leader Than heard him, he reminded: – Just keep up the speed. Remember to stick close to me on narrow roads. About an hour away an almost upside-down slope appeared, again tied up like a bottleneck and folding crabs. Carefully ordered to stop the car for everyone to get off, he used a flashlight to signal behind to let the cars know, then got off the bus and asked Binh: – What is the temperature of the cooling water and oil? Binh looked down at the dashboard and said: – It’s all up a hundred degrees, but I guess I can still walk. – Then keep going. I’ll walk in the middle of the road, just look at my white shirt. Carefully take off the jacket and throw it in the driver’s door for Binh. Answer: – Yes! In front of Hien with Tinh, Dat, Trang is walking. Page carried a stone, his mouth said: – See if this is deep! Saying that he rolled the stone down, one stone dragged the other rock and hurled endlessly. Page stick out tongue: – Must be a few hundred meters, not a few. Show: – According to my estimate, this place is only about three hundred meters high. Haven’t eaten yet, this peak should at least be over a thousand meters. They both shook their heads and stuck out their tongues. Behind, according to the shadow of the company captain, Binh tried to keep the car right in the middle of the road, he was always sticking with him, so the mud shield sometimes bumped into the cliff and hit “uỳnh” once. Binh estimated that the slope should be approximately 30 degrees, it is impossible to go number one but the engine temperature roars (!). When the walking wing reached the top of that narrow slope, the tank just crawled to the middle, the teachers and students sat and rested for the car to arrive. It took three times to get off the bus to walk to the top of the slope. Strangely enough, thinking that the top of the slope had to be very choppy, it turned out to be a fairly flat and spacious road. The line-up of cars snuggled up on the edge of the road for a break and checked the technique to prepare to go downhill. Trang and Dat pulled each other to the edge of the road to look down, but saw nothing but a cloud, they rolled on a stone but only saw the same as last time, did not know where the bottom was. It turns out that the previous images of the downward direction of Heaven Gate were completely wrong. Everyone thinks that the slope is so steep, so dangerous, its downward direction must be “relative”. But not! The Heaven Gate slope in the West Truong Son is quite pleasant compared to the eastern half, it is gentle and short, probably at the foot of the slope is a plateau with an altitude of several hundred meters above sea level. Over the top of the slope a few kilometers, the front station was already on the way to enter the army camp. To enter the army camp today, we had to follow a stream. It is the dry season, so the stream has little water, the stream bed has different large and small shiny black rocks lying around. It was almost morning, everyone wanted to quickly hide the car. […] All about the vehicles quickly dissipated. The sound of an engine let out for a moment, then the silence returned the stillness of the forest. It was just morning too.

Google faces many legal challenges globally, especially in Europe. The European Commission (EC) fined this giant billions of dollars in three different lawsuits and were appealed by Google. In any case, the world’s largest search company denies misconduct and maintains a view that they make choices that benefit consumers. Since 2010, the EU has launched three different antitrust investigations against Google, involving Google Shopping, Google AdSense and Android, resulting in three fines of nearly tens of billions of dollars. At the same time, Google must adjust its behavior to comply with regulatory requirements. On October 10, 2010, the EC officially investigated Google’s behavior in accordance with Article 9 of Regulation 1/2003 after receiving complaints from ICOMP Organization and a number of other companies. They complain that Google changed its Universal Search algorithm to promote Google Shopping products on the search results page, lowering the ranking of competitors. Therefore, they believe that Google discriminates against, anticompetitive through presentation of search results, depriving users of the ability to choose products and services. On June 27, 2017, Google was found guilty and convicted a fine of EUR 2.4 billion (2.7 billion USD), is the largest penalty for an abuse of monopoly at that time. Google denies the accusations and claims their services have helped the region’s digital economy grow. The penalty is equivalent to 2.5% of Google’s 2016 revenue. Currently, the company in the appeals process wants to mitigate or overturn the penalty. In addition, the EU Competition Commission (EUCC) decided to oversee Google’s PageRank algorithm. Google is responsible for reporting to the EUCC every 4 months. After being penalized, Google split the Google Shopping shopping service into its own company, operating independently. A year later, the EC fined Google again for forcing Android device manufacturers (OEMs) to install Google Search and Android suite of apps. The EC investigates Google based on two lawsuits, one from FairSearch, and one from Aptoide. FairSearch is a consortium founded in 2010, initially consisting of travel-related websites such as Expedia, TripAdvisor, and then a number of big names such as Microsoft, Nokia, Oracle. In April 2013, they filed a lawsuit against the EU, denouncing Google’s behavior with its Android operating system in violation of the EU’s anti-competition law. Meanwhile, Aptoide was filed in June 2014. Aptoide is an Android app market, competing with Google’s Play Store. Aptoide emphasizes Google’s approach making it very difficult for services like them to be installed on users’ devices. In addition, some components that used to belong to the Android Open Source Project have been migrated to the Google service suite, including Gmail, Google Maps and Play Store. So, on April 15, 2015, the EC started an investigation into Google based on the above two lawsuits. Google argues that what it does with Android is no different from what Apple, Microsoft do with iOS and Windows Phone. Device manufacturers can still release an Android phone without the Google suite of apps. On July 19, 2018, the EU declared penalty Google 4.3 billion EUR (5 billion USD). Google appealed in October 2018. According to a company spokesperson, Android makes more options available to users. This is by far the largest penalty imposed by the EU for a company for its anti-competitive behavior. Google has changed the way apps are distributed in the EU, charging OEMs for Play Store access, and in return OEMs no longer have to install Google Search and Google Chrome. In March 2019, Google said European Android users can choose which browser and search engine they want to use on the device. Most recently, March 2019, EU Google penalty 1.49 billion EUR (1.7 billion USD) for preventing competition in the online advertising market. The commission said Google had an exclusive contract with website owners, preventing them from cooperating with Google’s competitors. The investigation involved Google search-mediated search boxes and display ads. These ads are provided by Google AdSense for Search. This is a division of Google that allows websites and apps to monetize search ads. Google’s terms for website owners change over time, from a 2006 monopoly to a “flexible monopoly” a few years later. But EU authorities still believe it hurts competition and allows Google to control how competitors display their search ads, including the size, colors and fonts they use. According to Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager, this is a legal offense under EU law. That behavior lasted more than 10 years and deprived other brands of competitiveness, innovation as well as the interests of users. Google stopped using exclusive contract terms in 2016 only after the EC made a formal objection. In June 2019, the company announced an appeal. However, the three above-mentioned penalties do not seem to “disgrace” anything to Google. Shares of Alphabet, the parent company Google, are still growing close to 30% in 2020. Investors seem accustomed to the oversight of countries with Google. Not to mention, the prolonged legal process also makes the authorities tired. The effect that the punishment brings is not clear. For example, despite the change in Google Shopping, less than 1% of service traffic is diverted to other shopping websites. Therefore, the EC is about to overhaul digital regulations, related to the business models of companies like Google. They want Big Tech to be more accountable for content across platforms and ensure that competitors have a chance to compete with the big boys. It is expected to make a big change in business practices, even Big Tech’s business model. Law professor Ioannis Kokkoris from Queen Mary University said this is a move that shows the EU wants to strengthen its leadership position in the enforcement of the technology market. Many other national competition authorities will follow. Meanwhile, Alec Burnside – partner of the law firm Dechert – said that the new EU proposal reflects the increasingly recognized government must have new power to deal with technology giants. For its part, Google or another company may use legal process to highlight the negative impact of regulation on innovation and the overall economy, making the final regulation less stricter than the proposed ban. head. Other than lobbying, however, there is nothing they can do about it to discourage new regulation in the short term. Du Lam (Synthetic)

Patents for exclusive protection have been issued by the US Patent and Trademark Administration Viettel High Technology Industry Corporation (VHT) has been granted 4 new international patents by the United States Patent and Trademark Administration (USPTO). Information was reported by the leader of Viettel High Technology Industry Corporation on the occasion of Intellectual Property Day April 26. Up to now, the number of industrial property protected continuously increased in the past 2 years, in particular, this unit has just been granted more patents protected exclusively in the US. According to VHT, the first patent is “Method of randomly dividing data in distributed multi-microprocessor systems” – OCS Research Center.This invention has helped Viettel fully own a system. charging in accordance with the specific needs of Vietnamese users; helping the operator proactively develop the billing system business to the international market at a time when only about 3 largest OCS providers provide for all carriers in the world. In 2020, this unit has 2 more patents, “Method of detecting water surface target in noisy environment, application in shore radar station” (Radar Center) and “Patent on supporting structure. force for parallel robot is by spring system with constant force ”. Representative of the Simulation Modeling Center said that the invention of the supporting mechanism for parallel robot with a spring system with constant support is used to support parallel robots in the field of motion simulation, contributing to reduce manufacturing costs, increase the life of the robot while ensuring that the load and workspace criteria are met. Thanks to the power mechanism that reduces the force applied to the robot’s actuators by 50%, it contributes 25% to fabrication costs, 2 times longer robotic lifespan and suitable for systems with working loads. large, limited when choosing actuator. In April 2021, “The method of adjusting and controlling the power of the receiving line in accordance with the transmission environment in the base station system” – The Broadband Radio Equipment Research Center was officially released. Patent patents in the US. The system is set up according to the patented method and is capable of correcting and controlling the receiver’s power. At the same time, the patented method brings optimal efficiency when compatible with each type of transmission medium, overcoming the disadvantages of slow variation with old control, improving the quality of the network in particular and the indicators. Network KPIs in general … Up to now, Viettel High-Tech Industry Corporation has registered a total of 276 industrial property registration applications, of which 27 are international registration applications. The number of applications has increased dramatically since 2016. By 2020, to complete research on 48 core technologies applied to products, have registered and accepted 66 patent applications. According to Mr. Nguyen Cuong Hoang, deputy general director of Viettel High-Tech Industry Corporation, invention is a very long process and Viettel has done it 10 years ago. The number of patents represents the firm’s capacity. The capacity and strength of research units are reflected in intellectual property and granted inventions. Appraisal Center, Intellectual Property Department said, in the last 5 years, the number of patent applications of Viettel increased continuously. The fact that Viettel has 4 patents granted by the US is of great significance in asserting technological capacity and development orientation of market expansion of Vietnamese enterprises. Representative of Viettel High Technology Industry Corporation affirmed that protecting intellectual property by registering national and international inventions is an important basis for the enterprise to be the owner of core technology. is ready to integrate into the world, has full capacity to compete with international corporations. Patents protected by the United States are recognition of inventions, scientific research, thereby affirming that Vietnamese people can stand shoulder to shoulder with large technology corporations … Certificates of intellectual property rights is evidence to ensure the success of every business when entering the world arena.

Located in Yen village (Thach Xa commune, Thach That, Hanoi city), Khum bridge is a hundred years old, an ancient tile bridge with unique and rare architecture. This is a bridge made in the style of Thuong Gia Ha Kieu, which means the top is the house and the bottom is the bridge. From a distance, the bridge looks like a side-down boat, so it is called the Khum Bridge. The people in the village do not know exactly how old the bridge is, even the oldest people in the village were born to see this bridge. Khum bridge spans the stream of water flowing from Huong Ngai, Canh Nau, and Bui field to Tich river. In the past, the only path to Yen village had to cross the Khum bridge and the bridge acted as the village gate. All activities of production, daily life and communication of the villagers all pass through this bridge. The bridge was repaired in year 1935, in which the lower part was completely redone. In 1948, French invaders swept over, burned bridges, villagers came to extinguish fire to cure, the remaining dark gray burns are up to now. The entire front part of the bridge. Above the gable, there are concave boxes, thread edges, flowers and leaves, zucchini, lantern pillars, very sophisticated artifacts. The bridge roof is covered with funny nose tiles. The entire wall is made of ancient laterite, the rest of the truss system and rafters are made of solid wood, under the upper house there are 3 sluice gates which are swept with laterite, hewn orange, very strong. In the low water season, the middle drain is nearly 3m wide so small boats can pass. The Thuong Gia section is over 12m long, divided into 5 compartments, 2 of which are made of quartet wood, with 2 rows of pillars, 2 rows of pillars. The middle part is higher and lower to the 2 gable heads, creating a characteristic “cambered” shape for the project. Bridge frame structure is made of trusses throughout, with a bridge connecting the two trusses, the armpit beams connecting the female column with the child column, no screws, following the traditional construction style of the Vietnamese. Khum bridge structure. And the two sides of the nave were rebuilt to serve as a worshiping committee of Quan Than Linh, Than Kim Quy, and Than Dai Eagle. The three sides are left empty to make wooden stalls, which is the resting place of the villagers. Old man Nguyen Van Toai – 70 years old, the keeper of this bridge said that, in the last few decades, when the roads were built, the Khum bridge did not have much transport value but was still an important spiritual place. of the local people. People around the area still regularly come to the bridge to burn incense to pray for good things, especially on holidays and the full moon. Both a bridge and a place of worship, Khum Bridge makes many people think of the famous Japanese Covered Bridge of Hoi An ancient town.

Audi unveiled up to four brand-new models this week at the 2021 Shanghai Auto Show, where the stretched A7L and A6 e-tron sedans garner the most attention. The two models share the stage with an upgraded long wheelbase Q5 and a mysterious new Audi Shanghai concept in the form of an all-electric SUV. While the A7L will be the first Audi model in China developed with local Volkswagen Group partner SAIC – other models developed with another partner FAW – this new electric vehicle is not far behind. . Considered a research concept at the moment, it will evolve into a production car in the second half of this year. Details are still scarce, but we do know that it will be 4,870 mm long. The figure on this electric luxury Audi Shanghai makes it nearly as long as the Audi e-tron SUV currently sold in many parts of the world, and some local sources say it will be built based on Volkswagen’s MEB chassis. Group, similar to the Q4 e-tron and the smaller Q4 Sportback e-tron. The concept car shown at the show has a camouflage cover with an e-tron mark and all the windows are darkened, meaning the company is not ready to reveal the interior of the new car. With Audi quiet, all we can do is speculate. Considering the announced overall length of the car, perhaps the production version will be equivalent to the Volkswagen ID.6 that also debuted at this year’s Shanghai Auto Show. That three-row electric SUV also uses the MEB chassis and measures 4,876 mm in length. However, this is merely a speculation. If that is the case, we can expect the best version of the new electric SUV to be equipped with the AWD Quattro drivetrain with 2 electric motors delivering a total output of 302 hp and 310 Nm of maximum torque. the equivalent of the dual-motor ID.6, or even more powerful, to deserve the Audi title.

Also, it is worth noting that this model will be exclusive to the Chinese market. Video: Audi introduces a series of luxury electric cars in China.

Toyota Vietnam is trying to bring the Vios back to the position of best-selling car in the market. Dubbed the “King of Sales”, Toyota Vios over the years always dominates the best-selling car position in Vietnam every month. The rise of competitors made Vios no longer monopolize the “Sales Throne”, causing Toyota Vietnam to share market share with other manufacturers. Efforts to renew and value Vios closer to the value of the Japanese car joint venture earlier this year have not helped the sedan return to its original position. Unable to sit and watch the opponent continuously overpowering, Toyota Vietnam was forced to “launch new moves” to increase the competitiveness of Vios in the marketplace. The Japanese auto joint venture applies a sales policy with a Toyota genuine one-year material insurance package, worth 11.3 million VND for Vios buyers and full payment from April 24 to the end May 31, 2021.

Toyota Crown Kluger is not the only surprise that the Japanese automaker brings to this Shanghai Motor Show, because sharing the stage with it there is also another Crown model, but instead of an SUV, Here’s a minivan again.

According to the manufacturer’s announcement, Crown Vellfire will be sold exclusively in the Chinese market together with its brother Crown Kluger.

The overall shape of the Crown Vellfire looks a bit sportier, the front grille has beautifully decorated chrome strips, and the headlights on the sides adopt a detached design. The front of the car has a “crown” logo that matches the Crown brand name and represents the true position of this model, and the lower two sides are two large wind cavities that look extremely pit to create a visual impression for people. look. The rear of the car is decorated with glass doors with a large surface area, and similar to the top, there are also large shiny chrome strips. The rear lights also use a transparent lampshade design, plus a hidden exhaust layout that makes the overall new car look more prominent. For the interior, the Toyota Crown Vellfire uses a mechanical instrument panel and a 4-spoke multifunction steering wheel. Meanwhile, the touchscreen center looks quite large and is placed flat on the dashboard instead of floating like many other new models in China. The center console still retains some of the traditional buttons and knobs, but does not lose the luxury look. In terms of technology, this high-end minivan is equipped with a variety of safe driving assistance functions, including a forward collision early warning system with pedestrian detection, support for marine identification. signaling, lane departure warning, automatic long-distance headlight switching, adaptive cruise control, and much more.

Ms. Hoang Thu Ha, General Director of Hoang Binh Trading Service Company Limited

Ms. Hoang Thu Ha, General Director of Hoang Binh Commercial Service Co., Ltd. shared: “In beauty salons in Vietnam, people call Bio Meyisun bio only collagen because when put this thread in the dermis, the Skin cells are stimulated to mobilize, in this process endogenous collagen makes the skin shiny, brighter and more beautiful than before “.

Biological self-digestion thread (PDO) is the type that has only been used to sew medical incisions for more than a decade. Only PDO Bio Meyisun is capable of spontaneously self-destructing over a period of 6 to 8 months. This type of thread has been improved through the needle in many different forms to serve the aesthetic purposes of the Korean cosmetology industry since 2011.

Biological self-destruction is a remarkable step forward in the health industry when it has been proven effective and safe in clinical practice.

In 2012, self-targets started to be applied in Korea in the field of aesthetics. Foreseeing that trend, in 2013, Hoang Binh Trading Service Co., Ltd. officially imported and distributed in Vietnam.

This is a promising approach to the future ”.

The controversial “choose 1 in 2” strategy in the past five years in China has finally become qualitative in imposing monopolistic business practices, and Alibaba has become the first “victim” to gender. This country’s official “stunned”.

Penalties of up to 18,288 billion yuan ($ 2.8 billion) issued by China’s State Market Supervision Department against Alibaba account for 4% of the group’s 2019 revenue.

The group of billionaire Jack Ma has continuously encountered bad luck in recent times.

Not merely a punishment, the meaning of the case went far beyond its original purpose. This is said to be a warning to the entire Internet industry in China, and the move also shows Beijing is accelerating its war of antitrust against big tech companies.

Alibaba: “Big trees catch the wind”

In fact, legal disputes over Alibaba’s monopoly conduct have long existed. Starting in November 2015, Alibaba’s “choose 1 in 2” policy under Jack Ma was accused of disrupting the e-commerce market and many platforms repeatedly called for a boycott of this behavior.

It was not until December 2020 that the State Market Administration of China conducted the first antitrust investigation and a final decision was made. Basically, Alibaba immediately expressed its attitude to cooperate with the authorities. “We recognize that today’s penalty is a warning and motivating us, it is a standard and concern for the industry’s development,” an Alibaba representative said in the Letter. customers and the public.

In the opinion of many market analysts, that penalty is inherently beneficial for Alibaba, because conservative policies in recent years have made them gradually lag in e-commerce. This also allows the Internet economic platform to re-focus on sustaining innovation, instead of relying on dominant positions to “protect” the market. More importantly, the warning for Alibaba will form a strong competitive advantage in the market in the future.

Other platforms started to be wary

In addition to warning Alibaba, the penalty serves as a deterrent to the entire Chinese internet industry. After all, the problem of monopoly is not limited to just one platform and with the current scale of operations, it is completely understandable that Alibaba is being targeted first.

Over the years, the platform economy has benefited from the rapid growth and popularity of the Internet. Based on the cumulative effect, the platforms quickly formed certain areas, especially e-commerce. Up to a certain stage, natural monopoly properties will arise and the larger the platform scale, the more obvious the advantage.

However, “if the platforms misuse this advantage, leading to the formation of unfair competition, the behavior is suspected to be illegal”, the punishment that the Administration Department oversees. China has proved it. Realizing the risk, many leading e-commerce platforms such as Taobao, Tmall, JD, 1688 … started to change policies to avoid becoming the next victim of the regulator.

The Internet antitrust campaign in China is accelerating

“This time Alibaba was fined and signaled that relevant departments had tightened antitrust oversight of the platform economy. I believe there will be other antitrust enforcement cases in the future, not just this one, “said a researcher at the Center for Intellectual Property Research, University of Political Science and Law.

In addition, strengthening antitrust and preventing capital expansion causing market disruption is also the Chinese government’s consistent attitude, which was specifically mentioned at the Central Economic Work Conference held. at the end of last year. However, from the development context over the years, the monopoly monitoring here still has a certain delay.

With the rapid development and changing of Internet economic platforms, law enforcement or administrative governance need to keep up with the times, forcing the Chinese authorities to speed up the antitrust war. This is expected to create fair competition and maintain standardized market vitality in the future.

Although the legal battle between Epic Games and Apple (US first instance trial) will take place in May, right now the related developments of the case continue to attract attention from the public. .

A few days ago, the Australian trial was postponed for the third time, but the legal documents show interesting information. The Epic Games Store lost approximately $ 181 million in 2019 and nearly $ 273 million in 2020, showing that since its launch in 2018, the company has never been profitable. Also, in 2021, Epic Games’ expected loss is about $ 139 million.

According to Apple forecasts, the business of Epic Games by the end of 2021 has lost $ 600 million after 3 years. To be profitable, Epic Games may have to wait until 2027.

The thing has been predicted from before

In fact, Epic Games has previously confirmed that the Epic Games Store will not be profitable until 2023. On loss information, Tim Sweeney, CEO of Epic Games, is very optimistic: ” Although Apple calls it a loss, in my view it is an investment, which is also the basis for bringing huge profits in the future.

Although the CEO of Epic Games is confident about profitability, it still cannot change the fact that they have “lost”. As a company that owns Unreal Engine tools, the loss of 450 million USD in the past 2 years is beyond the imagination of many people.

In this case, with the backing of the Unreal Engine being used by most of the developers, the Epic Games Store took up to 4 years to be profitable causing people to question whether or not the business strategy is. “Take profit as a profit” of company leaders?

Free business strategy

According to the official data Epic Games published before, the progress of the game store in the past 2 years is very clear. By 2020, the total number of users on the Epic Games Store will reach 160 million, up 56% from 108 million in 2019. Besides, daily active users reach 31.3 million in 2020, increasing 192% and total user time is 5.7 billion hours, up 70%.

But the problem also lies here, in this era, an emerging gaming platform can achieve such a marked growth, spending money is an inevitable option.

According to the New York Times, in 2020 alone, Epic Games has invested about $ 444 million in the monopoly of the game, with Control of 505 Games alone, the amount amounted to 10.45 million USD. Such a huge investment, in exchange for a one-year monopoly of several games, is also Epic’s best weapon for taking the market from Steam.

But Epic’s revenue from these exclusive and third-party games is relatively limited. In 2020, players spent $ 700 million on the Epic Games Store, which is only $ 20 million higher than in 2019. Of which, revenue from third-party titles is $ 265 million, only up $ 14 million compared to 2019. Apple estimates show that if you count transactions in 2019, Epic will lose at least $ 330 million in exclusive expenses.

Of course, in addition to investing money in exclusive content, Epic Games also promotes a free business strategy to attract new users. The $ 450 million loss is mainly due to this business method. According to Epic’s official data, from 2019 to 2020, the platform distributed 180 games for free, with a total value of up to $ 3,862 (US price) with 950 million purchases. This is actually a buy 1 get 1 free, but with a free gift for buyers, Epic Games has to pocket money for the developer.

On the one hand, they’re spending money on game companies and developers for exclusive content, on the other, they’re out-of-pocket attracting players who aren’t willing to pay. After all, in terms of business, Epic Games is the one to lose.

A healthy competition

Indeed, for developers, whether their game has a chance of being included by Epic in the Epic Games Store (471 games in 2020) or directly on Steam, Epic’s arrival makes a difference. special. For the gaming industry, the PC games market is no longer dominant enough and only acts as an incentive for competition. If Epic can gain a foothold, Steam’s upcoming business strategy must also change.

With the strength of the Unreal Engine, Epic Games Store can completely use competitive tactics to disadvantage Steam. However, to challenge Steam’s position is not easy, especially keeping players from paying fees, Epic Games has too many obstacles to overcome before making any profits.

Of course, competition is inevitable and is also a necessary factor for the development of the market. Whether healthy competition can be maintained, that depends pretty much on the final court ruling after the legal battle between Epic Games and Apple is over.

Alibaba was fined $ 2.8 billion for alleged monopoly.

JD.com, Meituan and ByteDance lead China’s first group of Big Tech companies to commit to complying with the law after China Market Surveillance Agency (SAMR) asked them to “learn lessons” from Alibaba. Group Holding in Beijing’s latest antitrust investigation.

On April 14, 12 out of 34 tech companies released a public statement pledging to do business in compliance with the law after SAMR warned of Alibaba’s recent antitrust sanctions and conducted self-testing. next month.

Earlier, e-commerce giant Alibaba was fined a record $ 2.8 billion for forcing small businesses to sell exclusive products on the platform. Monopolistic behavior is understood as how businesses eliminate competition of competitors by forcing customers to choose “one of two”.

JD.com has made eight promises including “never taking measures to force sellers to choose either and never abusing a dominant market position or making any exclusive deals. “. The e-commerce group also said it will “never publish illegal advertisements and never sell products of substandard quality”.

Meituan’s delivery staff.

Meituan promised not to impose unreasonable measures forcing sellers to “choose one of the two” and would not abuse its market position to limit competition. In addition, the company is committed to providing full support to the Chinese regulatory authorities. “Once we find evidence of illegal conduct, we will report it to regulators in a timely manner and readily cooperate with any investigation,” Meituan said.

ByteDance, the owners of short video apps TikTok and Douyin, made 13 promises in its public statement. China’s most valuable unicorn company says it will “not illegally collect and misuse user data” and adhere to “minimum guidelines” in collecting data from users. E-commerce platform Pinduoduo said it will “proactively assume more social responsibility”, as well as comply with legal and regulatory requirements.

The rest of the companies are expected to announce their public commitment over the next two days

Beijing’s targeting of key Big Tech firms including Kuaishou, Bilibili and Didi Chuxing comes at a time when the Chinese government is resolutely using antitrust laws and other regulatory methods to halt. out-of-control expansion.

SAMR has accused major tech companies of misconduct such as forcing sellers to choose only one trading platform, abuse of market dominance, abuse of big data to unfair pricing. for certain customers, ignoring poor quality products, leaking customer data, and tax evasion.

“No one is allowed to cross the regulatory lines and not touch the legal red line,” SAMR said on Tuesday.

34 Internet service providers are on the spot, many of which are listed on US and Hong Kong exchanges. Companies were asked to “raise responsibility and give priority to the national interests”.

“Companies must absolutely avoid disordered capital expansion to ensure China’s economic and social security, you must absolutely avoid monopolies to ensure fair competition,” according to Beijing’s statement towards Internet service platforms.

SAMR says companies have one month to do a “self-check and self-repair”, after which the government will conduct follow-up and “severely punish” those companies that fail to address the misconduct.
