Today, the Ministry of National Security announced two anti-espionage cases: when experts in the core scientific research field of a university went abroad for face-to-face signing, visa officials kept asking about the research progress and the source of project funds, which aroused the experts' vigilance and immediately reported to the school and state security organs. During the academic conference, the experts met with people from abroad, and the other side hoped to carry out "deep cooperation" by providing academic convenience as bait. In the end, the experts calmly responded and reported to the school as soon as they returned to China, which not only protected their personal safety but also effectively safeguarded the core secret safety. Li Moumou, the core secret-related personnel of an institution, is addicted to online gambling and owes huge gambling debts. In order to repay the debt, Li took the initiative to hook up with overseas spy intelligence agencies, took photos of more than 80 classified documents and sent them to the other party, collecting spy funds of more than 100,000 yuan. The state security organs detected the case in time, and Li was sentenced to 12 years in prison for espionage. There are obvious loopholes in the anti-espionage security work of Li's unit, and three responsible personnel have been punished by party discipline and government affairs. (CCTV)
CITIC Securities: Potential policies such as consumer vouchers are expected to give birth to a staged turning point in catering demand. According to the research report of CITIC Securities, domestic consumer demand has been sluggish since 2023, and the price of the catering industry has entered a downward channel. How will China catering enterprises behave at this moment? The experience of Japanese restaurant enterprises may provide some enlightenment. Although the differences between macro and national conditions prevent China from simply repeating the price war of Japanese catering and its impact, the catering competition in high-speed cities in China is similar to that in Japan in structure. The research report believes that the change of restaurant supply and CPI performance can be used as a forward-looking indicator to judge when the current price war will end, while potential policies such as consumer vouchers are expected to give birth to catering demand and form a stage turning point. Two main lines are recommended: 1) Mature catering enterprises pay attention to the same-store sales and valuation improvement brought about by the rebound of CPI, while enterprises with serious decline in same-store sales before have higher performance and valuation resilience. 2) Growing catering enterprises pay more attention to the rhythm of income growth and profit release.South Korean President Yin Xiyue: The opposition party is trying to destroy South Korea's growth engine.CICC: Inflation in the United States may push the "hawks to cut interest rates".
