On September 14th, the National Immigration Administration and the State Administration for Market Regulation jointly issued an announcement, promulgating the "Administrative Measures for the Filing of Institutions and Personnel Engaged in Exit-Entry Intermediary Services," which will take effect on September 15, 2026. The Measures, formulated in accordance with the "Exit-Entry Administration Law of the Peoples Republic of China" and the "Regulations of the State Council on Exit-Entry Administration," aim to standardize the filing management of institutions and personnel engaged in exit-entry intermediary services. The Measures, comprising 14 articles, further clarify the scope of filing, filing period, and required filing materials, and stipulate that the exit-entry administration agencies of public security organs of local peoples governments at or above the county level shall implement filing management for institutions and personnel engaged in exit-entry intermediary services within their jurisdictions. The Measures require that while strengthening supervision and management, public security exit-entry administration agencies should continuously optimize work processes and improve the convenience of filing for institutions engaged in exit-entry intermediary services.A joint statement from 12 EU member states: We call on the EU to play a more strategic and proactive role in the Arctic of Europe.Market news: Kenyan fuel prices will remain unchanged next month.Ukrainian President Zelensky: Ukraine needs a sufficient number of fully functional and effective defense systems.On September 14th, CNBC reported that Microsoft (MSFT.O) released interim guidelines to constrain its artificial intelligence models, days after the heads of Anthropic and OpenAI agreed to slow development. The company, a leading cloud service provider, wants to be seen as a responsible AI player. “We’ve received some feedback that people want to see a clearer commitment: AI should always serve humanity, not try to replace it,” Mustafa Suleyman, who is in charge of the company’s model development, told CNBC. “We’ve received a lot of feedback emphasizing that AI should not create dependency, should not flatter, but should always promote human judgment, autonomy, and agency.” Suleyman stated that although these guidelines had been in development for about five months, Microsoft chose to release them now given the recent discussions they have sparked.

The principal shareholder and co-founder of the Hong Kong-registered virtual currency exchange Bitzlato Ltd. was detained, according to U.S. officials, on Wednesday for allegedly handling $700 million in illegal money.


Russian citizen Anatoly Legkodymov, who resides in China, was detained on Tuesday in Miami on suspicion of running an unlawful money exchange operation that "in his own words, catered to known thieves," according to a senior Justice Department official.


According to the prosecution, Bitzlato traded more than $700 million in cryptocurrencies with Hydra Market, which they described as an illegal online market for drugs, stolen financial data, phony identification documents, and money-laundering services that was shut down by German and American law enforcement in April 2022.


At a press conference at the Justice Department, Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco warned reporters that "you may expect to account for your crimes inside a United States courtroom, whether you breach our laws from China or Europe or misuse our financial system from a tropical island."


According to the prosecution, Bitzlato also got more than $15 million via ransomware. It was not feasible to get in touch with Hydra Market for feedback right away.


According to Chen Arad, the chief operating officer of Solidus Labs, a crypto market monitoring firm, "Despite having a minor brand, it carries a lot of weight."


Small actors don't bear any less danger than any well-known exchange or platform, he said.
