1. Both men and women born in the 90s have to retire after the age of 65? It is estimated by netizens that the self-media posted is not verified
Today, a news that "both men and women born in the 90s have to retire after the age of 65" circulated on multiple online platforms, attracting public attention. The query found that the "2025-2055 Delayed Retirement Policy Age Calculation and Deduction Table" quoted by a self-media has appeared on the Internet platform in March and April this year at the latest. At that time, the self-media that reprinted this table clearly mentioned that the table was a calculation and deduction table made by netizens based on the prediction of some experts to "take measures to delay for a few months every 1 year until the retirement age finally reaches 65 years old", "for your reference only".
In other words, the basis for the production of this table is the inferences made by netizens based on the policy "predictions" of some experts, which are not only not supported by official information, but also cannot be regarded as the interpretation of the "Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Further Deepening Reform and Promoting Chinese-style Modernization" for "steadily and orderly advancing the gradual postponement of the statutory retirement age reform". The so-called "post-90s men and women have to retire after the age of 65" is just a deduction made by netizens based on the predictions of some experts, and there is no official source. (The Paper)

3. Previously, a company did a test that could make Chinese computers have black screens, and the company warned Chinese users not to use pirated operating systems. Through this incident, Zhou Hongyi believes that we should be alerted, if during a special period, a company through an update, so that China's computers suddenly do not work or fail, what is the impact on the whole country and society?
