1. On July 3, 2024, U.S. media reported that the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is considering allowing its researchers to apply to study samples brought back from the far side of the moon by China's Chang'e-6 probe. This news sparked heated discussions among netizens, and some netizens pointed out that the United States had previously restricted space cooperation with China through the "Wolf Clause", but now it wants to study China's lunar samples, which is undoubtedly "self-reaping". If the U.S. scientist's application is approved, it will be a rare case of U.S.-China cooperation in the field of space.

The "Snow Dragon 2" is a polar research icebreaker independently built by China, using advanced two-way icebreaking technology, while the "Polar" is a new generation of icebreaking survey ship, designed and built by the mainland, with strong marine environmental observation capabilities. The open day activities of the two ships attracted many citizens and polar enthusiasts to experience the strength and charm of China's polar scientific expedition up close.
3. On July 3, 2024, the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) released the Patent Landscaping Report on Generative AI. According to the report, from 2014 to 2023, China filed more than 38,000 patent applications in the field of generative AI, ranking first in the world and six times the number of the United States. This technology is widely used in many industries such as life sciences, manufacturing, transportation, etc., and image and video data patents dominate, and China's innovation and application in the field of AI is growing rapidly.
4. On July 3, the National Health Commission and the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine announced a new goal: by the end of 2025, 50% of the country's tertiary public hospitals will use the operation management information integration platform. This platform will use modern information technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, and cloud computing to improve the efficiency and quality of hospital operation and management, while reducing the illegal use of medical insurance funds and ensuring the standardization and safety of medical services.
5. According to data released by the China Futures Association, the trading volume of the national futures market reached 574 million contracts in June, with a turnover of 45.02 trillion yuan, indicating that the market is running smoothly. The non-ferrous and precious metals sectors performed strongly, with copper and silver futures trading volumes increasing by 37.91% and 118.3% year-on-year, respectively. Industrial silicon futures and options were active due to the boost in confidence in the new energy industry, with trading volume and turnover increasing significantly year-on-year.
6. Recently, the State Administration for Market Regulation announced that from October 15, 2024, lithium batteries and chargers for electric bicycles will be subject to compulsory product certification (CCC certification) management. This means that from November 1, 2025, all relevant products must be certified by CCC and marked with the certification mark before they are shipped, sold or imported. This measure aims to strengthen the quality and safety supervision of electric bicycles, ensure that products meet national safety standards, and protect the rights and interests of consumers.
7. On July 2, China Railway Nanchang Bureau Group Co., Ltd. and China Railway Express Nanchang Branch used high-speed rail confirmation vehicles to carry out inter-provincial high-speed rail express business for the first time. The train departs from Nanchang East Railway Station and goes directly to Shenzhen Station, with a total journey of 3 hours and 35 minutes, loaded with fresh food, biomedicine, electronic products and other high-efficiency goods. The high-speed rail confirmation car is a test train that runs before the daily high-speed rail operation, and now 8 carriages are used to load express mail, providing a safe and fast new railway transportation channel for Jiangxi and Guangdong provinces.
8. On July 3, 2024, a research team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States developed the world's first neural connection bionic leg, which can help patients with amputations below the knee control the mechanical leg through nerve signals and restore the ability to walk with a natural gait. Patients need to undergo a specific procedure to attach non-invasive surface electrodes to the lower leg of a robotic prosthesis. In clinical trials, the new robotic leg showed excellent results, with a more natural gait using the technology, reduced energy expenditure, and reduced stress on the body. So far, about 60 people around the world have undergone related surgeries.
9. On March 3, the Wudongde Hydropower Station held a special breeding and release activity, and 920,000 rare and endemic fish fry were released into the Jinsha River. The fry released this time include 6 species of longfin barramundi, nude loach and schizophrenus, among which the release of naked loach is the first time in China. This event is of great significance for the protection and restoration of rare and endemic fish stocks in the Yangtze River, and demonstrates the positive actions and responsibilities for ecological and environmental protection.

This measure is especially aimed at on-the-job doctors in general practice and paediatrics, with the aim of improving their professional skills and medical services. Through practical learning in large hospitals, community doctors are able to better grasp advanced medical knowledge and technology, so as to provide better medical services to residents.
