August 4th - Recently, the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) launched a special campaign called "Clean Up the Online Environment and Rectify Malicious Hype of Enterprise-Related Information."

After the adjustment, adult passengers will be charged 40 yuan for flights of 800 kilometers or less, and 70 yuan for flights over 800 kilometers, a decrease of 10 yuan and 30 yuan respectively compared to before the adjustment. 1. This fee has fluctuated throughout the year: it remained low in the first quarter (10 yuan for flights under 800 kilometers, 20 yuan for flights over 800 kilometers); due to geopolitical conflicts, international crude oil and jet fuel prices rose, leading to consecutive increases in April and May, peaking in May (90 yuan/170 yuan); subsequently, with the easing of geopolitical tensions and falling oil prices, it decreased twice in June and July, finally seeing a third consecutive drop on August 5th. 2. Domestic fuel surcharges are linked to aviation kerosene prices and are determined by the National Development and Reform Commission and the Civil Aviation Administration of China based on international oil prices, which airlines then implement. Currently, it is still summer vacation, and long-distance travel is increasing; this reduction will slightly lower the cost of long-distance air travel for the public.On August 4th, Japanese Economy, Trade and Industry Minister Minoru Jonouchi stated that the cost increases caused by the Middle East conflict have so far had a limited impact on consumer prices, and offered a relatively optimistic assessment of inflation risks.

He made these remarks in response to the Bank of Japans warning last week regarding the "increased risk of inflation exceeding expectations." However, Jonouchi added, "We do need to remain vigilant, as costs may gradually be passed on to food and other consumer goods prices from this summer to autumn."The China Earthquake Networks Center officially reported that a magnitude 3.4 earthquake occurred at 10:25 a.m. on August 4 in Gao County, Yibin City, Sichuan Province (28.53 degrees north latitude, 104.67 degrees east longitude), with a focal depth of 5 kilometers.The China Earthquake Networks Center automatically determined that an earthquake of approximately magnitude 3.3 occurred at 10:25 AM on August 4th near Gao County, Yibin City, Sichuan Province (28.53°N, 104.67°E).
