Asked about the protests on Monday, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian said the Chinese government was adjusting its Covid measures based on the realities on the ground. “We believe that with the leadership of the Communist Party of China and the support of the Chinese people, our fight against Covid-19 will be successful,” he said at a regular news briefing. Zhao also addressed the detention of BBC journalist Ed Lawrence, who was arrested Sunday while covering the protests in Shanghai. The Communist Party “has a lot of experience accumulated over the years in dissipating social unrest,” she said. Most of the people who protested appeared to be from the Han ethnic group that dominates China.
The central bank has been in informal communication with Ant about the fine over the past few months, said three of the sources. It plans to hold more discussions with other regulators about Ant's revamp later this year and announce the fine as soon as the second quarter of next year, said a source. Ant's fine would be the largest regulatory penalty imposed on a Chinese internet company since ride-hailing major Didi Global was fined $1.2 billion by China's cybersecurity regulator in July. The fintech firm's affiliate, e-commerce titan Alibaba Group (9988.HK), last year received a record fine of 18 billion yuan ($2.51 billion) for antitrust violations. The PBOC, however, is unlikely to formally disclose the application till Ant wraps up its revamp, added the sources.

Sam Madden, 23, has worked as a nanny, waitress, and bartender in Nantucket and Aspen for six years. I had some money saved to pay for rent because I'd worked at McDonald's and Olive Garden throughout high school. In the main house, there were a bunch of college guys and girls who all worked at the Nantucket Yacht Club, and I thought that their summer looked like so much fun. My manager saw that I had bartending on my résumé from the yacht club and asked if I wanted to start bartending. She lived with a manager of a restaurant called Cru, which is kind of the "It" restaurant on the island.
O echipă de cercetători din Beijing a dezvoltat o nouă terapie genică ce poate inversa unele dintre efectele îmbătrânirii la şoareci şi le poate extinde durata de viaţă. Astfel, reușita oamenilor de știință ar putea contribui în viitor la obținerea unui tratament similar pentru oameni, scrie Reuters, citat de Agerpres. Metoda a fost detaliată într-o lucrare științifică și implică dezactivarea unei gene numite kat7, despre care oamenii de ştiinţă au descoperit că joacă un rol esenţial în procesul de îmbătrânire celulară. „După şase-opt luni, aceşti şoareci prezintă o îmbunătăţire generală a aspectului şi a puterii de apucare şi, cel mai important, au o durată de viaţă extinsă cu aproximativ 25%”, a declarat Qu. În cele din urmă, sperăm că putem găsi o modalitate de a întârzia îmbătrânirea, chiar şi cu un procent foarte mic... în viitor”, a mai adăugat Qu.
