Oct 22, Suzhou — The China State Planner Price Monitoring Center convened provincial price-monitoring chiefs and instructed agencies to anchor work to the 15th Five-Year Plan outline and national price work conference targets, strengthen and refine price-monitoring and early-warning systems, and conduct routine, emergency and mandated special monitoring.

Blue Horizon Project發文稱，美國民主黨中期選舉收官階段的競選廣告，主要圍繞醫療保健、生活成本和稅收展開，而非全面反對科技行業。根據AdImpact數據，在競爭激烈的國會選區，9月27日當週，民主黨人工智能相關廣告僅播出523次，而醫療保健、特殊利益集團和稅收相關廣告分別約爲1.5萬次、1.12萬次和1.02萬次。數據中心是一個例外：在21個競爭膠着的衆議院選區中，有5個選區將數據中心列爲民主黨廣告支出的三大議題之一。其中，涉及稅收或能源成本的廣告支出合計6976萬美元，佔數據中心相關廣告總支出的76.2%；支持暫停、禁止或停止新建數據中心的廣告支出則不足250萬美元。作者認爲，民主黨候選人主要將數據中心與開發商稅收優惠、電費上漲聯繫起來，而非主張全面禁止建設。他據此指出，不應將民主黨在中期選舉中的表現簡單解讀爲選民對科技行業的普遍反感，競選廣告傳遞的核心訴求仍是降低生活成本、改善醫療保障和減少特殊利益輸送。
