Emotional Impact: Negative
The White House announced on the 2nd that President Trump signed a document on the same day imposing a 100% tariff on imported patented drugs and pharmaceutical ingredients in accordance with Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962. This measure provides a path for exemptions or reduced tariffs, aiming to compel pharmaceutical companies to reach agreements with the White House on drug prices and industry reshoring.

Type: Industry
Emotional Impact: Positive
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology launched a special action to empower small and medium-sized enterprises with inclusive computing power. For the first time, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology proposed exploring innovative businesses such as "Algorithm Bank" and "Algorithm Supermarket". The Algorithm Bank supports small and medium-sized enterprises to "deposit" idle computing resources on the platform, enabling flexible access and off-peak allocation of computing resources. This essentially pools computing resources and operates them in a financialized manner based on the logic of "deposit and loan" in banks. Applications have already been implemented in some cities such as Shanghai and Hangzhou.
