HONG KONG — They rode for soup dumplings — and a sense of youthful liberation in pressured times. But the band of university students who cycled through the night would ultimately be met by a red light from authorities, after their viral quest grew so popular that it snarled traffic in central China and overwhelmed the ancient capital, Kaifeng. By the weekend, tens of thousands of students had joined this self-proclaimed "night riding army," seeking not just breakfast, but also a way to travel and socialize without spending much money. They rented shared bikes and cycled in groups through the night from Zhengzhou to Kaifeng. Waves of riders propelled by the slogan "youth is priceless" joined this 40-mile journey along a major road beside the Yellow River.

Over the weekend, authorities in Kaifeng and Zhengzhou closed off bike lanes on Zhengkai Avenue, to try to stop cyclists from entering. To prevent students from joining the cycling crowd, some colleges and universities in Zhengzhou even imposed restrictions on leaving campus, according to accounts shared by students on social media. In the spring of 1989, university students in Beijing rode their bikes to Tiananmen Square to join pro-democracy protests that ended in a bloody crackdown by the Chinese military. Their journey quickly went viral, inspiring more Zhengzhou students to follow suit as the hashtag “youth is priceless” trended on social media. Others said local authorities should have been better prepared for the influx of students before they jumped in to promote the trend.

SHANGHAI, Nov 16 (Reuters) - Local authorities in China's Henan province are urging retired soldiers and government workers to take on stints at Foxconn's (2317.TW) iPhone factory in Zhengzhou, the official Shanghai Securities News reported on Tuesday. Foxconn declined to comment on the hiring schemes, and also declined to give further updates on the Zhengzhou plant's manufacturing status. Apple last week lowered its forecast for shipments of the premium iPhone 14 model due to the situation. Reuters last month reported that Foxconn's production of Apple's iPhones at the Zhengzhou factory could slump by as much as 30% in November. On Tuesday, the Henan Daily reported that the factory received its first batch of new workers on Nov. 13.

☆ Washingtonul a anunțat noi sancțiuni împotriva Iranului după acțiunile agresive de luni ale Teheranului

Administraţia Donald Trump a impus, marţi, noi sancţiuni împotriva Iranului, vizând industria oţelului, acuzând Teheranul de susţinerea terorismului şi de abuzuri în domeniul drepturilor omului, anunţă Departamentul Trezoreriei de la Washington, informează Reuters, citează Mediafax. Compania chineză sancţionată se numeşte Kaifeng Pingmei New Carbon Materials Technology şi este acuzată că a furnizat mii de tone de materiale producătorilor de oţel din Iran. Anunțul administrației americane a venit după ce armata iraniană a anunțat luni că intenționează să desfășoare în ziua următoare o operațiune de instruire „comună și la scară largă” cu drone care implică mai multe ramuri militare. De asemenea autoritățile iraniene au dispus luni confiscarea unei nave comerciale sud-coreene care tranzita Strâmtoarea Ormuz, acuzând că aceasta „poluează Golful Persic cu substanțe chimice”. Tot luni regimul de la Teheran a anunțat că a reluat îmbogățirea uraniului la o puritate de 20%, o încălcare flagrantă a acordului nuclear semnat în 2015 cu marile puteri.
