　　6. Social media information dissemination survey: Fake news is 6 times faster than truth

　　"Rumors are rampant, and facts are limping afterwards." This sentence written by writer and politician Jonathan Swift 300 years ago to comment on today's social media.

　　According to the US website The Atlantic on March 8, a research report released by a scientific journal on the same day showed that in today's social media, the spread of truth cannot compete with rumors. The survey selected 126,000 messages posted on social networking website Twitter for more than 10 years from September 2006 to December 2016 for research. It was found that in every project competition, fake news surpassed the truth - spread faster, wider, and more deeply rooted in people's hearts.

　　Research data shows that based on the successful spread of information to 1,500 people, the speed of false information is 6 times that of real stories. In addition, the survey found that fake news is 70% more likely to be forwarded compared to real news. (Source:: The Paper)

　　8. Fliggy CEO Li Shaohua resigns, and his opponent is too strong and he has to change his handsome guy

　　Li Shaohua, the former president of Fliggy, a tourism platform under Alibaba, has resigned a few days ago. On March 8, The Paper verified the news from Fliggy. After Li Shaohua left office, Fliggy will be temporarily managed by Zhao Ying, the leader of Alibaba's Globalization Leading Group.

　　Regarding Li Shaohua's departure as president of Fliggy, Fliggy only stated that it was "normal business work adjustment." However, the industry has different speculations about the incident. One analysis believes that Li Shaohua's departure was because Fliggy's achievements did not meet the group's expectations. There is news that Li Shaohua, who left Fliggy, will return to the group to serve as a "vain position"; the other analysis believes that the change of Fliggy's head may be related to the Alibaba group's globalization strategy, and this analysis starts from Zhao Ying's position and experience.

　　9. Zhou Xiaochuan warns blockchain speculation: Don’t fantasize about getting rich overnight

　　On the morning of March 9, Zhou Xiaochuan, the Governor of the People's Bank of China, said in response to questions from Chinese and foreign reporters on "financial reform and development" at the News Center of the First Session of the 13th National People's Congress that the rapid expansion of forked products such as Bitcoin will have an adverse impact on consumers and have an unpredictable effect on financial stability. The central bank does not recognize virtual currencies such as Bitcoin as retail payment tools, and currently does not accept or recognize related services. Zhou Xiaochuan pointed out that the future supervision of virtual currencies will be dynamic, and supervision depends on the degree of technological development, and also on the local test results and evaluation, which remains to be seen.

　　When answering the question, Zhou Xiaochuan believed that digital currency is essentially pursuing the fastness and low cost of retail payment systems, and its development is inevitable for the development of technological currency. But Zhou Xiaochuan made it clear that we should pay attention to financial stability, prevent risks, and protect consumers. While considering new technologies, we must clarify the service direction of new technologies. "We don't like to create a speculative product that makes people feel like they get rich overnight, but we need to consider how to serve the internship economy." Zhou Xiaochuan said bluntly that digital currency should not only bring efficiency, low cost, security and privacy protection to consumers and the market, but also consider the overall situation and cannot conflict with the current financial order.
