What is the relationship between the new attack on TikTok and domestic politics in the United States?#
The U.S. House of Representatives has approved legislation requiring ByteDance's subsidiary, TikTok, to sell its U.S. business to an American company within 165 days. Otherwise, TikTok will face a ban in the United States. The fate of this bill is still uncertain, but the company has found itself at the center of a political storm in the United States.

Once banned by the United States without any legal or reasonable support, other regions' TikTok will also have a bad ending.

It's hard to understand the significance of this visit to New Zealand's foreign affairs in the Five Eyes alliance. It's not like Australia has resources to trade, so what does New Zealand have?
Starch Sausage Incident#
On March 15, China National Radio Network exposed the chaos of starch sausages, such as using chicken bone paste instead of chicken meat, passing off inferior products as good ones, increasing fat content, and lacking specific national standards. The related topic quickly became popular.

After the "collapsed house," is there still hope for starch sausages? - China National Radio Network
Another incident of unscrupulous, self-righteous, arrogant, and unprofessional behavior by official media journalists. It has increased my disgust for the news industry.
What information should we clarify behind the "bone paste starch sausage" anxiety? - Bilibili"Has the corn porridge collapsed?" (Pure fiction, please don't take it seriously)
"There is still a lot of corn." A breakfast shop employee revealed to the reporter. The reporter found that the restaurant made various dishes using corn by checking the menu. For example, corn grits porridge is made from corn bran.
The reporter opened an e-commerce platform and searched for corn, finding that most of the corn was crushed for making feed. The reporter immediately contacted the merchant, and the merchant replied, "Feeds are not recommended for human consumption, even if they are eaten with pickles."
The reporter then consulted relevant experts, who said that corn is a coarse grain that is difficult to digest and contains phytic acid, which affects the absorption of minerals.
They say that food is the most important thing for the people, but who would have thought that corn bran could be mixed into porridge and put on the table without any hesitation. This is undoubtedly sounding the alarm for the general customers.
B Station releases the 2024 Incentive Plan#
Bilibili has released the 2024 video creation incentive plan, which clearly defines the support for non-monetizable UP owners, providing assistance for their early-stage creation and growth. In addition, Bilibili will invite some UP owners to participate in various incentive activities among UP owners who are not yet mature in commercialization. In 2023, more than 3 million UP owners earned income through various monetization methods on Bilibili, a 30% increase compared to the previous year.

No money, and the incentives are limited. It's just telling the UP owners to make money themselves and not rely on Bilibili. Bilibili only has traffic, so you have to come up with your own ways to monetize.
Doll machines may contain carcinogens? Investigation: 30 out of 55 dolls are unqualified#
In the "Storm Rising Amusement Park" in Dimei Shopping Center, the reporter counted the situation of dolls in 55 doll machines: 21 machines had no labels on the dolls, so it was impossible to know the production information and 3C certification. Many of them were products that were similar to or imitations of well-known IPs. 9 machines had dolls with "qualified certificates" and other labels, but these "qualified certificates" did not have production information and only reminded consumers to remove accessories from the dolls when using them. The remaining 25 machines had dolls with complete production information labels or hang tags.

Indeed, the products are unqualified, and the appearance is also copied.
