On December 22nd, Chen Ronghui, Deputy Director of the National Bureau of Data Science and Technology, stated at a press conference that the National Bureau of Data Science and Technology has organized and implemented the construction of demonstration scenarios for "running" public data, releasing three batches totaling 70 demonstration scenarios. Today, a fourth batch of 30 demonstration scenarios was released. Regarding the four batches of scenarios, Chen Ronghui stated that the data supply method has shifted from "mainly sharing" to "coordinated promotion of sharing, openness, and authorized operation." In the fourth batch of scenarios, authorized operation has become an important data supply method. The fourth batch of scenarios has a wider regional coverage, with scenarios in the western and northeastern regions accounting for 35%. The scope of the scenarios is continuously expanding, with the fourth batch gradually extending to in-depth areas such as high-frequency public services, characteristic industries, and grassroots governance. Common scenarios such as accurate verification of personal living status and sharing and mutual recognition of medical examination and test results will create greater demonstration value and social benefits.Futures Market News, December 22nd: Wheat prices remained stable with a slight decline today.

The United Kingdom announced on Sunday that it will increase tariffs on imports of platinum and palladium from Russia and Belarus as part of a new package of sanctions aimed at 1.7 billion pounds ($2.10 billion) of trade. According to the British government, the move is intended to further weaken Russian President Vladimir Putin's military machine.


Britain has announced that import tariffs on a variety of products will be raised by 35 percentage points, and that it will block the export of $250 million worth of chemicals, plastics, rubber, and machinery to Russia.

The British government will enact fresh measures in due time, it was stated.


As a punishment for Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Britain is working with its Western allies to undermine the Russian economy, and it has already sanctioned more than 1,000 persons and businesses.


Russia, a major producer of platinum and palladium, referred to its February invasion as a "special military operation" intended at demilitarizing and "denazifying" its neighbor.


More than 4 billion pounds of products will be subject to import and export sanctions, British Finance Minister Rishi Sunak warned, causing "substantial damage to Putin's war effort." Since the invasion of Ukraine, they represent the third wave of sanctions on Russia.


"We can and will defeat Putin's aspirations by working closely with our allies," Sunak said in a statement.
