CMS chief says from July 1 Medicare beneficiaries who meet prescribing criteria will pay $50 per month for GLP-class drugs.

Eight ministries, including the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, issued a joint notice launching the Guopin Action from May through December to accelerate employment for 2026 university graduates and 2024–2025 graduates who left school without jobs. The campaign targets expanded hiring in sectors with strong employment pull and rapid job growth—notably manufacturing and services—by developing roles that match graduates’ skills. Authorities will encourage quality firms and SOEs to run Guopin Action city‑industry recruitment events tied to the 15th Five‑Year Plan and local industrial development to boost employer participation in hiring.

The EU’s €20 billion plan to build five large AI data centres is faltering as delays and funding uncertainty are deterring potential private partners, people familiar with the matter said. A tender process originally slated for May is now expected to start in July, and financing is planned in two tranches scheduled for 2028 and 2030 under a new EU budget still under negotiation. Sources said funding gaps mean at most two of the five centres are likely to receive money before the new budget takes effect in 2028. Unclear demand prospects and uncertainty over subsidy timing are cited as key reasons private investors are hesitating.
