Zhang Chaoyang's circle of friends clarified the Sohu rumor that being included in the "pre-delisting" does not mean delisting

In the face of the growing rumors of Sohu's delisting, Zhang Chaoyang personally appeared to clarify.

On the morning of April 18, Zhang Chaoyang, founder and CEO of Sohu, released a circle of friends saying that Sohu did not want to delist. "Some self-media writers know one and don't know the other, write articles about sohu, and ridicule me for live physics lessons, which is really unnecessary."

It is understood that on April 12, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) added 12 Chinese-listed companies, including Sohu, to the "pre-delisting" list, which is the fourth batch of Chinese-listed companies to be included in the list since March. At the same time, the deadline for the above 12 companies to submit their defenses is May 3, local time.

On April 13, Sohu announced that it did not intend to object to the SEC's provisional determination, and that "the company has been exploring alternative actions but has not yet determined possible actions" regarding the possible delisting of the company's American Depositary Shares from nasdaq.

Zhang Chaoyang also said in the circle of friends that the inclusion of Chinese stocks in the "pre-delisting" list is a "matter between China and the United States", and the decision on whether to delist may not be in the company itself, "the result is not known in a few years".

However, Sohu's stock price was still weakly affected, and as of press time, Sohu fell 4.91% to a stock price of $17.44.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences stopped CNKI due to "too expensive"? The two sides disagree: the former admits and the latter denies

The "sky-high price" CNKI has caused controversy again, this time for the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Recently, an online email showed that the Documentation and Information Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences issued a notice saying that from April 8, CNKI science and technology journals and doctoral and master's degree dissertation databases cannot be downloaded.

On April 18, both sides responded to the matter. The relevant person in charge of the Library Department of the Chinese Academy of Sciences confirmed that the news transmitted on the Internet was true. As for whether access to CNKI will be restored in the future, the teacher introduced, "It is difficult to say now." However, CNKI responded that "the news is not true".

It is understood that in the 10 years from 2012 to 2021, at least 6 universities have issued announcements to suspend the use of CNKI, all because the cost of CNKI has increased too much. However, due to the resource integration and content uniqueness of CNKI database, most universities still have to cooperate with it.

Now, such pressure has come to the Chinese Academy of Sciences. As a scientific research institution with a greater demand for academic materials, it is not yet known what kind of development its dispute with CNKI will be.
