We set up an innovation center in 2015 to strengthen our capacity to meet local customer demand. The system we have created and tailored for the tonal Mandarin Chinese language is serving more and more Chinese users.
We also take a look at a study released this week that examines how different generations use apps, and some of the findings are surprising.
WeChat Pay also has launched QR code-scanning payment in six cities' public transportation systems.
We finally got the price and date for Surface Duo, Microsoft’s new dual-screen Android device (don’t call it a phone!). It launches on Sept. 10 and at a price — ,399 — that may put it out of the reach of many. Todd has ordered one but … who else will be buying? And what is Microsoft up to with this device?
We are confident China will achieve its goal of eradicating extreme poverty in the countryside by 2020. For the world, our target to eradicate poverty is 2030. It will be great for China to achieve it by 2020, 10 years ahead of our schedule.
We also have authors as customers. Amazon Publishing has just announced it will start paying authors their royalties monthly, sixty days in arrears. The industry standard is twice a year, and that has been the standard for a long time. Yet when we interview authors as customers, infrequent payment is a major dissatisfier. Imagine how you’d like it if you were paid twice a year. There isn’t competitive pressure to pay authors more than once every six months, but we’re proactively doing so. By the way – though the research was taxing, I struggled through and am happy to report that I recently saw many Kindles in use at a Florida beach. There are five generations of Kindle, and I believe I saw every generation in use except for the first. Our business approach is to sell premium hardware at roughly breakeven prices. We want to make money when people use our devices – not when people buy our devices. We think this aligns us better with customers. For example, we don’t need our customers to be on the upgrade treadmill. We can be very happy to see people still using four-year-old Kindles!

We met at the same teahouse in downtown Beijing where Guo met with representatives of Guangdong Yashili Group in 2008 to discuss compensation after his daughter, then age 2, became sick after drinking the company's Scient milk powder, which was tainted with melamine.
We have actively developed socialist democracy and advanced law-based governance. We have stepped up institution building across the board to make integrated advances in Party leadership, the running of the country by the people, and law-based governance; and we have continuously improved the institutions and mechanisms by which the Party exercises leadership. Steady progress has been made in enhancing socialist democracy; intraparty democracy has been expanded, and socialist consultative democracy is flourishing. The patriotic united front has been consolidated and developed, and new approaches have been adopted for work related to ethnic and religious affairs. Further progress has been made in ensuring our legislation is sound, law enforcement is strict, the administration of justice is impartial, and the law is observed by everyone. Our efforts to build a country, government, and society based on the rule of law have been mutually reinforcing; the system of distinctively Chinese socialist rule of law has been steadily improved; and public awareness of the rule of law has risen markedly. Good progress has been made in piloting the reform of the national supervision system, and effective measures have been taken to reform the system of government administration and the judicial system, and to develop systems to apply checks and oversight over the exercise of power.
We offer our impressions of Amazon’s latest drawings for its proposed Seattle headquarters, and how they compare to Apple’s planned campus.
Wang's ancestors came from Guangxi. "Perhaps they trekked for a long time without finding a suitable place, so when they saw a flat piece of land halfway up a mountain, they decided to stay," said Wang, 43, Party secretary of Shengli Village.
