Mainstream media exposes new scam involving gold mixed with rhenium: suspects adulterate gold jewelry with rhenium powder, making it difficult to distinguish by appearance or weight, often misleading jewelry stores through fire testing and weighing. Rhenium has a density close to gold and a high melting point, making routine detection difficult; high-precision instruments or authoritative testing agencies are required. Rhenium prices have surged in recent years, becoming a source of profit akin to money laundering, harming recycling shops and consumers. The industry faces the detection challenge of "no upper limit" for rhenium content; as gold prices rise, scams become more frequent, and physical identification costs are comparable to transaction verification, forcing a re-evaluation of trust in physical assets.

The National Development and Reform Commission officially prohibits Meta from acquiring Manus, requiring the transaction to be revoked and the original state restored. The core measures include: first, returning equity and entities; second, fully refunding the paid consideration and conducting compliant foreign exchange remittance; third, isolating data and technology security and personnel. The three reasons for prohibition are: technical and data security, loopholes in foreign investment merger compliance, and restructuring to evade regulation. Regulatory authorities will conduct on-site inspections; failure to revoke as required will result in fines and restrictions on domestic operations. This move clearly states that AI cross-border mergers and acquisitions must undergo a full set of security reviews, and domestic R&D technology cannot be transferred without review authority.

On April 25th, the White House Correspondents' Dinner was interrupted by gunfire. A man armed with multiple weapons forcibly stormed the security checkpoint of the large event, causing President Donald Trump to evacuate urgently.
Trump posted on Truth Social that U.S. law enforcement officers had subdued the suspect, who was later identified as Cole Allen. Meanwhile, a large number of controversial comments regarding the incident flooded social media.
In the early stages of the incident, Trump initially requested the organizers to "proceed with the event as usual," but it was later confirmed that relevant authorities had issued an emergency evacuation order according to safety protocols.
He stated that neither the First Lady, the Vice President, nor members of the Cabinet were injured, and subsequently released photos of the suspect being subdued and security measures.
