The Ministry of Ecology and Environment intends to further clarify the standards and conditions for enterprises to declare special funds for the disposal of waste electrical and electronic products. On the 10th, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment publicly solicited opinions on the Notice on Standards and Conditions for Enterprises to Declare Special Funds for the Disposal of Waste Electrical and Electronic Products (Draft for Comment). It is proposed that the declaration conditions should be determined according to the following principles: First, fair competition. Do not distinguish between enterprises subsidized by the original waste electrical equipment treatment fund and enterprises newly entering the market, and unify the reporting conditions. The second is to reward the excellent and help the strong. In order to ensure that the financial incentive policy is inclined to large-scale and high-quality enterprises, and at the same time, considering the development differences between regions, we have set the minimum quantity requirements. The number of processing enterprises located in the western region is 900,000 units (sets), and the number of processing enterprises located in other regions is 1 million units (sets). The third is a smooth transition. As 2024 is a policy transition year, the processing quantity in 2024 is the main factor in the allocation of special funds in 2025. Considering the market affordability and the adjustment period of production and operation of enterprises, a transition period is set aside for the setting of the number requirements for special funds in 2025, and it is planned to set the number requirements to 500,000 units (sets) per year.The United States conducted a ballistic missile interception test in Guam for the first time.

Apple iPhone SE 4 is reported to be officially released around March next year, and the new machine may bring a major upgrade to SE series. The new machine will adopt Liu Haiping design, introduce Face ID and cancel the Home button with Touch ID, but there is no smart island function. According to gourmain, Apple has designed a new modem code-named Sinope, which is seamlessly integrated with other components of its own. This design not only saves space, but also reduces power consumption. Compared with the Qualcomm modem currently used by Apple, Sinope still has a big gap, and the performance of related chips is inferior to that of Qualcomm. For example, Sinope only supports the Sub-6 GHz 5G band, but does not support millimeter mmWave. Although the performance of related modems is not as good as that of Qualcomm, gourmain thinks that the biggest advantage of Apple's self-developed scheme is to reduce its dependence on Qualcomm, thus saving licensing fees.
