According to the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology, a 5.8-magnitude earthquake struck near Occidental Mindoro province in the Philippines at approximately 10:38 a.m. on August 7, with a focal depth of 10 kilometers.August 7th - TSMC has achieved a breakthrough in next-generation technology, successfully developing a high-performance monolayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) top-gate transistor in collaboration with a team from National Chiao Tung University, which could help push the limits of Moores Law. The findings were published in the journal *Nature Electronics*.On August 7th, it was learned from the Anhui Provincial Key Laboratory of Quantum Computing Chips that a joint research team from Origin Quantum and the University of Science and Technology of China has successfully solved the long-standing problem of the trade-off between speed and fidelity in superconducting quantum computing by proposing the innovative "Parameter Space Extended Controlled Phase Gate (PSE-CZ)" scheme. This allows a two-qubit quantum gate to significantly improve accuracy while maintaining high speed. The relevant results have been published in the top international physics journal *Physical Review Letters*, and experimental verification was completed on my countrys independently developed superconducting quantum computer, "Origin Wukong".Hong Kong-listed stocks related to large-scale modeling continued to rise, with MINIMAX-W (00100.HK) up nearly 25% and Zhipu (02513.HK) up over 17%.Chinas total imports in July amounted to 1,945.44 billion yuan, compared to 1,961.62 billion yuan in the previous month.

The conclusion of the Argentine truckers' strike increases grain shipments

The Argentine truckers' strike ended on Thursday, when several unions incensed by fuel shortages reached an agreement to terminate the one-week protest near the vital port of Rosario, which is expected to assist future grain exports.


The truck driver's protest over high gasoline prices has halted shipments of corn and other goods, just as the bulk of the harvest was making its way to ports for export to worldwide markets.


Due to the exclusion of a few tiny truckers groups from the deal, however, it is possible that certain protests may continue.


Argentina is the second-largest exporter of maize, the top exporter of processed soy oil and meal, and a major supplier of wheat and beef.


One of the unions, Autoconvocados Unidos, issued the following statement: "Despite our dissatisfaction (with the latest settlement of truck freight rates) and in light of the present crisis in our country, we have chosen to halt the strike."


The union described their action as an act of kindness.


The number of trucks entering ports surged by 70 percent on Thursday compared to the previous day, reaching approximately 1,500 vehicles, as reported by the Rosario grains market.


The Rosario ports are the departure point for 80 percent of Argentina's agricultural exports, the vast majority of which are transported by truck.


The ability of trucks to access the port is returning to normal, according to the manager of the country's marine port chamber, Guillermo Wade.


Additionally on Wednesday, the transport ministry secured a deal with non-striking agricultural and transport groups to hike grain freight charges by 25%.


However, the majority of protesting unions, led by the UNTRA truckers' union, felt the rate increase insufficient and chose to dismantle highway blockades.


The head of the UNTRA, Carlos Geneiro, said, "We have far greater expenses than that."
