Three major food delivery platforms: Pilot the cancellation of fines for riders for late deliveries

On October 16th, it was reported that recently, JD Food Delivery announced that it has piloted the cancellation of fines for riders for late orders in 25 cities across the country, including Shenzhen, Nanjing, Harbin, and Wuhan. Instead, it has introduced a "service score" management mechanism. According to the pilot rules, if a rider fails to deliver an order on time, cash will no longer be directly deducted. Instead, corresponding service scores will be deducted based on the duration of the delay, promoting a shift in the management approach from punitive constraints to positive incentives.

Previously, Ele.me announced the cancellation of late - delivery deductions as feedback from crowdsourced riders. The Ele.me platform is piloting and promoting a new version of the service score, replacing the original late - delivery deductions with methods such as deducting service scores. Meituan publicly stated that it will completely cancel fines for riders for late deliveries by the end of 2025. (Yicai Global)

A 12-year veteran employee of Fat Donglai was fired for "failing to serve customers first as required", and the court rejected their compensation claim

Recently, reporters learned from the China Judgments Online that an employee of Xuchang Fat Donglai Department Store Apparel Co., Ltd. was deemed to have seriously violated company regulations and had their labor contract terminated by the company for "failing to serve customers first as required". The employee subsequently filed a lawsuit.

During the court's investigation, the video provided by the company showed that at the time, a customer was selecting underwear products, while the employee was organizing goods with a POS machine in hand and did not approach the customer to serve them immediately. According to the company's internal "Various Management Regulations", "failing to put down one's work and approach the customer in a timely manner when the customer has a need" is considered a service violation and can be regarded as "seriously violating the company's rules and regulations".

The judgment shows that the employee joined a company affiliated with Fat Donglai in 2009 and had worked for more than 12 years by the time of dismissal. Both the first-instance and second-instance courts held that the rules and regulations of the department store apparel company were formulated through a legal process, and the employee had participated in the training on these rules and regulations and signed to confirm. The court rejected the employee's compensation claim. (China Newsweek)

China Mobile Apologizes After Man's Phone "Protectedly Shut Down" Upon Returning from Nepal

On October 16, Xinjiang branch of China Mobile released a "Statement on the 'Protected Shutdown' of a Customer's Phone After Returning to China". Xinjiang Mobile said that on September 19, the number used by Mr. Li was shut down after being judged as risky by the system. Due to overseas network issues, the two pre - shutdown reminder text messages sent by Xinjiang Mobile failed to reach Mr. Li.

On October 5, after Mr. Li returned to China, he called 10086 to request reactivation. Since the customer said that the number was not registered under his real name, the customer service was unable to reactivate it for him. After multiple subsequent communications, it was confirmed that Mr. Li was the real - name registrant of the number. The number has been reactivated in compliance with regulations recently. Xinjiang Mobile said that during this period, the company had problems such as poor cross - provincial cooperation and lack of proactive service awareness.

As previously reported, Mr. Li claimed that his phone was suddenly "protectedly shut down" when he returned from Nepal, and he froze to the verge of breaking down by the roadside in sub - zero temperatures, which sparked a heated discussion. (National Business Daily)

Neptune Pharmacy Exposed for "Dual Pricing" of Drugs: The Same Drug Costs Twice as Much in Stores as on Food Delivery Platforms, and Prices Differ between Medical Insurance Payments and Out - of - Pocket Payments

Ms. Zhao, a consumer, said that recently when she bought medicine at a Neptune Pharmacy store in Hangzhou, she found that in the same store, the price of the same cold granules was 12 yuan on the food delivery platform, while the marked price in the store was 35 yuan.

Recently, reporters' investigations have found that the "dual pricing" of the same drug in the same store has become a common phenomenon. Staff from multiple pharmacies said that online and offline are different payment channels. The store has a unified retail price, while there are subsidies for food delivery orders.

In addition, staff from Neptune Pharmacy stores in many places also said that customers can pay the food - delivery price when buying medicine out - of - pocket in the store, but may not enjoy the same discount when using medical insurance. Experts believe that the different prices between medical insurance payments and out - of - pocket payments may constitute "dual pricing". On October 11th, the National Healthcare Security Administration issued a "Notice" stating that the "dual pricing" behavior of designated pharmacies should be seriously investigated and dealt with.

NIO Executives Respond to Securities Fraud Allegations: Stem from Previous False Allegations, Independent Investigation Completed Three Years Ago

At the close of trading on October 16, NIO's Hong Kong-listed shares closed at HK$49.28, down 8.99%. In terms of news, the core event triggering market fluctuations may be that the Government of Singapore Investment Corporation sued NIO, its CEO Li Bin, and former CFO Feng Wei in a US court in August this year, accusing the company and its executives of securities fraud.

On the evening of the 16th, NIO executives told reporters that this case is not a newly occurred event and is not aimed at NIO's recent operating conditions. It stems from false allegations against NIO by short - seller Grizzly Research in a short - selling report in June 2022. To protect the rights and interests of all shareholders, in August 2022, the independent committee of the company's board of directors completed an independent internal investigation into the short - selling report with the assistance of a third - party international law firm and a forensic accounting firm. All relevant allegations are baseless. (Caixin)

PayPal's Cryptocurrency Partner Mistakenly Issued $300 Trillion in Stablecoins Due to a "Technical Error"

Early on the morning of October 16th Beijing time, Paxos, a cryptocurrency industry partner of well - known trading platform PayPal, minted 300 trillion PayPal stablecoins, PYUSD, on the Ethereum blockchain, with a nominal value corresponding to $300 trillion.

Paxos subsequently issued a statement saying that this incident was due to the company's incorrect minting of an excessive amount of PYUSD during an internal transfer. After the incident, the company discovered the error immediately and destroyed the excess. The total amount of U.S. dollars in global circulation is insufficient to support $300 trillion worth of PYUSD - the sum of the GDPs of all countries in the world is less than half of $300 trillion. According to data from CoinMarketCap, as the world's sixth - largest stablecoin, the market capitalization of PYUSD is only $2.6 billion. (Caixin)

Wang Wentao, Minister of Commerce, Meets with Tim Cook

36Kr learned that according to the Ministry of Commerce, on October 16, Wang Wentao, Minister of Commerce, met with Tim Cook, CEO of Apple Inc. The two sides exchanged views on China-US economic and trade relations and Apple's business development in China. Wang Wentao said that recently, there have been fluctuations in China-US economic and trade relations. The main reason is that after the economic and trade talks in Madrid, the US side has intensively introduced a series of restrictive measures against China, which have seriously damaged China's interests and undermined the atmosphere of the bilateral economic and trade talks. To maintain the overall stability of China-US economic and trade relations, both sides need to work towards each other. Wang Wentao pointed out that the Chinese government will unswervingly promote high-level opening-up and continuously optimize the business environment to enable foreign-funded enterprises to share China's development opportunities. Apple is welcome to continue to deepen cooperation with China and increase its investment in the country. Cook said that Apple will continue to firmly root itself in China, deepen its presence in the country, and actively participate in China's high-quality development. A good China-US economic and trade relationship is not only of great significance to the two countries but also conducive to the stability and development of the global economy. Apple is willing to contribute positively to win-win cooperation between China and the US.

The world has reached its first climate tipping point and is rapidly approaching a series of catastrophic tipping points

According to the Global Tipping Points Report jointly written and released by 160 scientists from 87 institutions in 23 countries, the world has reached its first climate tipping point. The report, released on October 12, points out that as global warming breaches the critical threshold of 1.5°C, the world is rapidly approaching a series of catastrophic tipping points, with the large-scale death of warm-water coral reefs being the first prominent sign. Due to the sharp rise in seawater temperature, most of the world's coral reefs are expected to severely decline. This means that humanity has entered a new "climate reality," where the stability of multiple key systems on Earth is facing unprecedented threats. Scientists also warn that the world is on the verge of other critical climate tipping points, including the degradation of the Amazon rainforest, the collapse of major ocean current systems, and the disappearance of polar ice sheets.

The World's First Sub-angstrom Snapshot Spectral Imaging Chip "Yuheng" Independently Developed by a Tsinghua University Team Is Unveiled

Reporters learned from Tsinghua University on the 15th that the team led by Professor Fang Lu from the Department of Electronic Engineering at the university has made a major breakthrough in the field of intelligent photonics. They have successfully developed the world's first sub-angstrom snapshot spectral imaging chip "Yuheng", marking that China's intelligent photonics technology has reached a new level in the field of high-precision imaging measurement. The relevant research results were published online in the academic journal Nature.

The "Yuheng" chip is only about 2 cm × 2 cm × 0.5 cm in size, but it can achieve snapshot spectral imaging with sub-angstrom spectral resolution and tens of millions of pixel-level spatial resolution in the wide spectral range of 400 - 1000 nanometers. It can simultaneously acquire full-spectrum and full-space information in a single snapshot, and the resolution of its snapshot spectral imaging has been improved by two orders of magnitude. Taking astronomical observation as an example, the snapshot imaging of "Yuheng" can obtain the complete spectra of nearly ten thousand stars per second, which is expected to shorten the spectral survey cycle of hundreds of billions of stars in the Milky Way from thousands of years to less than a decade.
