CCP Moves To Tighten Oversight Of Gig Workers
Authored by Michael Zhuang via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),
Beijing is moving to tighten its grip on tens of millions of gig workers—an increasingly vital but volatile segment of China's labor force—prompting warnings from analysts that the effort could deepen social tensions rather than contain them.

Apple Drops After Mixed Results: America, Europe Revenue Miss; Iphone Sales Disappoint, But China Surges Again
Ahead of today's AAPL earnings report, we've had a mixed picture from Mag 7 earnings so far: GOOGL soared to a record high, MSFT and AMZN both dropped (although they recovered much of their losses throughout the day) and META crashed, all on different reads of their capex.

As we previewed earlier, focus today will be on how soaring memory prices are impacting the company's profit margin, as well as hearing from new CEO John Ternus.
With that in mind, here is what the company just reported for its fiscal second quarter:
EPS $2.01 vs. $1.65 y/y, beating estimates of $1.96
Revenue $111.18 billion, +17% y/y, beating estimates of $109.66 billion
Products revenue $80.21 billion, +17% y/y, beating estimates of $79.26 billion
IPhone revenue $56.99 billion, +22% y/y, barely beati...
