  <description>To comply with the requirements of the EU’s Digital Market Act and fulfill the previous penalty for prioritizing the display of its own services in travel and shopping searches, Google announced in September 2026 that it would adjust search results in Europe. The European Commission had previously imposed a fine of 460 million euros on Google for such behavior and set a 60-day period for corrective actions. After the adjustment, when non-Europeans search for hotels, vertical search services such as Expedia and Booking.com will be highlighted at the top of the page. Their ranking and visibility will be higher than those of local businesses that only provide basic information, and key features such as real-time prices will be removed. Nick Fox, senior vice president of Google, said that user tests showed that search results were generally unsatisfactory, and users had to re-enter keywords to obtain information. Despite complying with regulations, Google claimed that this move significantly reduced the quality of searches, harmed the European user experience, and enhanced its position as an online intermediary.</description>

  <description>In the web game platform “Arcade” launched by the White House on September 3, a game called “Build the Wall” caused controversy due to its gameplay being highly similar to that of “Tetris”. The game uses a block stacking mechanism and was accused of having racial connotations against immigrants and allegedly violating copyright laws. After Tetris Company stated that it did not participate in the development and took copyright issues seriously, the White House removed the game from its official website on September 8, local time, with a 404 error message displayed. Tetris Company responded by stating that they were considering whether to take legal action, and the White House has not yet specified the exact reason for the removal.</description>

  <description>American artificial intelligence company Anthropic is facing a new class action lawsuit, accusing it of false advertising and misleading paying users regarding its Max subscription tier. Lawyers Monica Vaca and Kati Daffan represent a group of Claude subscribers, claiming that Anthropic deceitfully set service limitations in advertisements, resulting in users not receiving the maximum benefits they deserve for their payments. Although Anthropic emphasizes that paying users are crucial to its business and prioritizes protecting their rights (including by removing other popular apps like OpenClaw), some customers believe the company has failed to keep its promises. This lawsuit was initiated by former officials of the Federal Trade Commission, aiming to hold AI companies legally accountable.</description>

  <description>In order to cope with potential massive fines from the European Commission, Google plans to reduce its search services in Europe. Previously, Google faced lawsuits for failing to effectively prevent the spread of illegal content. In response, Google announced that it would limit some of its search capabilities in the European market, but did not specify the technical details or the scope of affected services. This move has raised concerns among users; some commentators sarcastically said that if “malicious compliance” becomes a key concern, users may turn to alternative search engines such as DuckDuckGo for information.</description>

  <description>On September 7, 2026, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the “15th Five-Year Plan for the Development of the Information and Communication Industry”. The plan aims to achieve a cumulative investment in information infrastructure of 3.8 trillion yuan by 2030, increase the scale of intelligent computing power to 9800EFLOPS per second, and promote the growth of clusters with ten thousand cards. The plan outlines 26 key tasks across six areas, aiming to fully build a new generation of communication networks that are comprehensive and efficient. Regarding funding allocation, experts believe that it will shift from “expanding scale” to “enhancing quality and efficiency”, with precise investment in high-value-added sectors such as intelligent computing power, 5G-A, and 6G. The plan specifies promoting the evolution of urban networks towards “dual ten-gigabits” and initiating 6G commercialization at an appropriate time, establishing a multi-level computing power infrastructure system of “hub—region—edge”. Additionally, the construction of intelligent entity-connected networks is included for the first time in the plan’s provisions.</description>

  <description>Regarding the issue of children taking, sharing, or viewing nude images due to insufficient app content moderation, British Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy stated that the government will promptly introduce legislation requiring technology companies such as Apple and Google to implement identification and blocking mechanisms at both the application level and device functionality. The new measures aim to deploy identification and interception mechanisms during image capture, viewing, and sending to prevent private images from being used for online deception and extortion. The previously set three-month voluntary improvement period ended because it failed to fully stop related dissemination. Apple has already introduced relevant features and supports third-party applications; Google is willing to cooperate on research methods for protection. If companies implement restrictions before the legislation is passed, the government will reevaluate the necessity of the law.</description>

  <description>On September 9, 2026, the Supreme People&#39;s Court released 9 typical cases of unfair competition. Case No. 5 involved an electronic company selling a product called “Point Slider” and guiding delivery drivers to use it. This behavior was determined by the Huangpu District People&#39;s Court in Guangzhou to be an act of disrupting the fair competition order of the platform, circumventing operating rules, and interfering with the scheduling algorithm. The court ordered the electronic company to pay a total of 3 million yuan in compensation to certain technology companies and other parties, and the first-instance judgment has taken effect. The typical cases released also clearly stated that malicious re-coding and reconstruction, using AI to generate fake evaluation articles in bulk, tampering with or editing live-streaming sales videos to mislead consumers, and publishing unfounded negative reviews in comparative advertising all constitute unfair competition or false advertising.</description>

  <description>On September 9, 2026, the Cross-border RMB Payment System signed agreements with 11 foreign banks, bringing countries such as Rwanda, Turkey, and Uzbekistan into the system for the first time. After the signing, participants in the system are located in 133 countries and regions worldwide, with business coverage expanding to 192 countries and regions. Muzi Mamusso, the head of finance at First Rand Bank in South Africa, said that this move will provide faster and more transparent cross-border RMB settlement services, reducing reliance on multiple intermediate links. In addition, the Cross-border Guarantee product of the RMB Cross-border Payment System was officially launched, facilitating cross-border guarantee transactions between banks and bank enterprises. In the future, China will accelerate the construction and promotion of a fast payment system and continue to promote the interconnection of cross-border payment QR codes. Starting from October 17, 2026, the operating hours of China’s large-value payment system will be extended from “5x21+12 hours” to “5x22.5+13.5 hours,” improving the interoperability of the global payment network at a technical level.</description>

  <description>On September 4, 2026, the United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution by an overwhelming majority of 164 votes in favor, 6 abstentions, and 1 against. The resolution encouraged the gradual elimination of the Mercator projection, which had been used for over 400 years, in scenarios where accurate representation of area proportions was required, and the adoption of the “equitable Earth projection.” The purpose of the resolution was to address the issue of severe distortion in the areas such as Greenland caused by the stretching of high-latitude regions using the Mercator projection. It also believed that exaggeration of areas in Africa, South Asia, and other regions reinforced Western cultural hegemony. The United Nations emphasized that the resolution applied only to non-navigation scenarios such as education and public communication, and did not mandate the replacement of航海 or mobile navigation systems. The United States was the only country that voted against the resolution, considering it a waste of time by the United Nations. China currently uses the “equal-spacing parallel polyconic projection,” which balances visual and area representation, so the resolution has little impact on China.</description>

  <description>The State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of Shanxi Province issued the “Service Manual for Open Access to Pilot Testing Platforms in Shanxi Provincial Enterprises (2026 Edition)”, offering open access to 9 pilot testing platforms and 25 service items. This initiative aims to transform heavy assets of provincial enterprises into industry public goods, addressing the challenge of facilitating the pilot-to-commercial conversion of university research achievements due to lack of facilities, equipment, and operating conditions. The open platforms cover five areas: resource utilization of industrial solid waste and artificial intelligence in the coal industry. By making capacity parameters and contact information publicly available, it promotes precise matching of resources between small and medium-sized enterprises and research institutions for collaborative innovation. This measure helps to shorten the cycle of achievement conversion, reducing it from annual to quarterly. Relevant measures have been included in the “Action Plan for Systematic Promotion of Scientific and Technological Achievement Conversion (2026–2028)” and are supported by financial policies such as “Pilot Testing Loans” and “Pilot Testing Insurance”.</description>
