From December 13th to 19th, for a total of 5 days, check in "Good morning" every day in 5 groups of 150 people, and you will have a chance to win a prize of 1,000 yuan!
1. CCTV reveals the Metaverse scam
According to CCTV Finance on December 14, the Metaverse has become a hot topic in the market recently. If you search for Metaverse blockchain games on the Internet, you can see a large number of results. Many of them even claim that you can make money while playing. With an investment of 300,000 yuan, you can make 140,000 yuan in two weeks .
The reporter visited a company in Fujian that calls itself the Metaverse Research Institute. A staff member who calls himself the director said that one of their Metaverse blockchain games can be used for investment and financial management as long as you spend money to buy equipment. To participate in this blockchain game, you first need to convert RMB into virtual currency USDT, and then convert it into the virtual currency used by this blockchain game. Playing the game can achieve a monthly investment return of nearly 100%.

In addition, if you want to invest, you must go through the company's guidance, pay a service fee of more than 6,000 yuan, and then you need to share 20% of the monthly income. Some of these staff members who claim to be managers and directors told reporters that the game development company had just received 20 million US dollars in financing and there would definitely be no risks. Some repeatedly urged reporters to pay the service fee to open a game account, and some staff members played the so-called customer income list for the first week of December for reporters.
The reporter found that no matter what form of Metaverse blockchain game, users are required to exchange RMB for virtual currency such as USDT, and then exchange it for the virtual currency used in the game . In 2017, the central bank and others clearly pointed out that the so-called "virtual currency" is essentially an act of illegal public financing without approval. Industry insiders said that the "Metaverse Chain Game" advocated on the Internet is just a scam that uses the Metaverse concept to hype and promote. Many blockchain games are essentially small web games, which are actually just using the funds paid by later entrants to fill the hole.

8. The United States is considering further strengthening its equipment export ban on SMIC
Bloomberg reported on December 14 local time that according to people familiar with the matter, the Biden administration is considering further tightening the equipment export ban on China's leading foundry SMIC to restrict China's access to advanced technology. The U.S. National International Security Council is scheduled to hold a meeting on Thursday to discuss specific measures, and representatives from the U.S. Department of Commerce, Department of Defense, State Department, and Department of Energy will attend the meeting. The proposal to be discussed plans to further tighten the export ban on SMIC.
If the proposal is passed, many SMIC suppliers will be severely restricted from supplying it, including Applied Materials (currently the world's largest semiconductor equipment manufacturer), KLA-Tencor (leader in wafer inspection and mask inspection equipment), and Lam Research (leader in etching machines) . Previously, the US ban on SMIC mainly restricted advanced process equipment required for the production of "special products", such as ASML's EUV lithography machine in the Netherlands. A proposal at this meeting plans to upgrade the ban and directly restrict all "usable" semiconductor equipment to prevent SMIC from producing products with relatively mature processes.
