• China's Foreign Exchange Reserves Remain Stable At US$3.3 Trillion, And Gold Reserves Have Increased For 17 Consecutive Months

  People's Daily Online, Beijing, April 7 (Reporter Du Yanfei) Data released today by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange show that as of the end of March 2026, my country's foreign exchange reserves have continued to stabilize at more than 3.3 trillion US dollars, and gold reserves have increased for 17 consecutive months.

  Data show that as of the end of March 2026, my country's foreign exchange reserves were US$3,342.1 billion, a decrease of US$85.7 billion from the end of February, a decrease of 2.5%.

  "In March 2026, affected by factors such as the global macro-environment, monetary policies and expectations of major economies, the U.S. dollar index rose and the prices of major global financial assets fell. The combined effect of exchange rate conversion and asset price changes and other factors led to a decrease in the scale of foreign exchange reserves that month." The relevant person in charge of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange said that my country's economic operation is generally stable and making progress, and high-quality development has achieved new results, providing support for the maintenance of basic stability in the scale of foreign exchange reserves.

  Wen Bin, chief economist of Minsheng Bank, believes that since the beginning of this year, my country's export performance has far exceeded expectations, with a year-on-year growth rate of 21.8% from January to February. This is not only a reflection of the strength of foreign trade, but also the result of the diversification of my country's export market and the upgrading of the export commodity structure. In the context of oil prices affecting the global production and supply chain, my country's advantages in new energy manufacturing and the entire industrial chain have become more prominent. In terms of cross-border capital flows, as my country's service industry access continues to expand, institutional opening up steadily deepens, and the level of cross-border investment and financing facilitation continues to improve, foreign direct investment will maintain smooth operation; the valuation advantages and allocation value of RMB assets are highlighted, and securities investments will continue to inflow at a reasonable scale.

  Gold reserves are an important part of the diversified composition of international reserves. Reserve asset data released by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on the same day showed that as of the end of March 2026, my country's gold reserves were 74.38 million ounces, an increase of 160,000 ounces from the end of February, marking the 17th consecutive month of increasing gold holdings.

  Industry insiders said that the People's Bank of China's continued increase in gold holdings will help diversify the foreign exchange reserve asset portfolio and ensure the safety and liquidity of foreign exchange reserves. At the same time, gold is a widely accepted means of final payment in the world. The People's Bank of China's increase in gold holdings enhances the credit of the sovereign currency and creates favorable conditions for steadily and prudently promoting the internationalization of the RMB.

  The World Gold Council stated that in today's world situation, the role of gold as an effective portfolio diversification tool and uncertainty buffer tool has emerged.

• What Are Digital Collections? Even A Novice Can Understand It

  What are NFTs? Why is it called a "digital collection"? Can ordinary people play it?

  In the past two years, you must have heard the word "NFT". Sometimes it is said that "NFT circles are selling at sky-high prices", and sometimes it is said that "a certain celebrity issues NFT". When you open Alipay, you can also see "digital collections". Many people are confused: What is this? Does it have anything to do with me?

  Today I explain it clearly in plain language. Even if you are a complete novice, you will understand it after reading it.

  First understand: What exactly is NFT?

  In a word: NFT is a unique digital certificate on the blockchain.

  We usually save pictures and text on the Internet, and after copying and pasting them, they are exactly the same, and it is impossible to tell which is the "original". But NFT is different. It registers every piece of digital content (pictures, music, text, and even a tweet) on the blockchain and issues it a unique "ID card" that cannot be copied or tampered with.

  For example:

  You find a Jay Chou wallpaper online, save it to your phone and it’s yours to repost as you please. But if this wallpaper is made into an NFT, even if you save the picture, the "genuine" certificate on the blockchain is still in the hands of the original owner, and the entire network can find out who really owns it.

  Therefore, the core of NFT is not the picture itself, but the non-tamperable ownership certificate on the chain.

  So why are they called "digital collections" in China?

  In fact, domestic digital collections are essentially a castrated version of NFT.

  Why the name change? Because NFT was initially used for speculation abroad, prices fluctuated sharply, and it also involved financial attributes, which was not allowed by regulation. Domestic platforms renamed NFT "digital collections" and imposed two main restrictions:

  Public trading and speculation are prohibited: they cannot be bought and sold casually like stocks. Most can only be collected or donated, and some cannot even be donated. Most do not run on public chains: foreign NFTs generally run on the Ethereum public chain, and many domestic platforms use their own alliance chains, which is more convenient for supervision.

  So to put it simply: digital collection = NFT without financial speculation attributes. The core is to send you a certificate that "you own this digital content". It is mainly used for collection and cannot be used for speculation.

  Do ordinary people want to participate in NFT/digital collections?

  There are two situations:

  If you just like it and want to buy it for collection: absolutely fine

  For example, if you like a certain artist's work or a certain animation IP, and you spend tens or hundreds of dollars to buy a digital collection and look at it happily in your hands, that's totally fine. Just treat it as buying peripherals, supporting your hobby, and don’t invest too much money.

  If you want to invest and make money: give up as soon as possible

  Nowadays, many people are deceived by the news of "sky-high price NFT" and think that just buying one can increase the price dozens of times. This is simply overthinking:

  Finally, I would like to remind ordinary people of three risks. Platform risks: Domestic small platforms will disappear if they say no. The digital collections you buy are stored on the platform server. If the platform collapses, your collections will no longer have the risk of fraud: many scammers defraud money under the guise of "transferring high-priced NFTs at low prices". In fact, what they give you is a screenshot, and there is no on-chain certificate at all. Legal risks: A platform that secretly conducts public transactions is itself against the rules. If you participate, whether the money can come out depends on the mood of the platform, and it is not protected by law. To summarize

  NFT is a good technology. It solves the problem of "ownership" in the digital world. There will definitely be more application scenarios in the future (such as digital tickets, digital copyrights, and game props can all be used). But for ordinary people, now it is:

  You can have fun with it if you like, but don’t think about making a fortune from it, let alone invest your wealth into it.

  Have you ever purchased a digital collection? Do you think this thing will be popular in the future? Welcome to chat in the comment area~

• Nearly 3,000 Quality Service Stations Have Been Built Across The Country, Saving Companies More Than 5.4 Billion.

  People's Daily Online, Beijing, April 7 (Reporter Hao Shuai) According to the website of the State Administration for Market Regulation, recently, the State Administration for Market Regulation released data showing that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the State Administration for Market Regulation vigorously promoted the development of "one-stop" services for quality infrastructure, organically integrating measurement, standards, certification and accreditation, inspection and testing and other elemental resources. Various quality infrastructures have been built across the country. There are 2,984 "one-stop" service platforms for infrastructure, which have served more than 5.2 million enterprises, solved about 380,000 technical problems, and saved enterprises about 5.47 billion yuan. They have achieved positive results in serving the park economy, regional development, and improving the quality of the industrial chain and supply chain, and have formed a series of service models and experiences that can be replicated and promoted.

  In terms of serving the park economy, various localities have directly embedded quality technical services into industrial parks, allowing enterprises to obtain professional support such as measurement, standards, inspection and testing, certification and accreditation without leaving the park, significantly reducing the cost and time cost of obtaining quality services, and promoting the overall improvement of the development level of the park. In terms of serving regional development, the "one-stop" service platform systematically integrates quality infrastructure element resources in the region to provide all-factor and full-chain services for upstream and downstream enterprises in key regional industrial chains. While lowering the service threshold for enterprises, it drives relevant technical institutions and industrial chain enterprises to gather and settle, and promotes the cultivation of regional industrial clusters with strong quality competitiveness. In terms of service industry chain supply chain quality linkage improvement, the "one-stop" service platform focuses on the common quality technology needs of specific industry chains, promotes the integration of measurement, standards, inspection and testing, certification and accreditation and other elements into key links of the industry chain, builds a chain quality collaborative service model, and supports the significant improvement of the quality level of enterprises in the chain and the supply chain resilience.

  In 2025, based on summarizing local practices, the State Administration for Market Regulation will promote the extension of "one-stop" services to the new generation of information technology industry, issue special technical guides, organize experts to conduct research, guidance and assistance on 5G, big data, artificial intelligence and other industries, and provide various big data centers and computing power centers with precise services such as measurement testing, standard development, inspection, testing and certification to help the efficient operation of new digital infrastructure. In the next step, the State Administration for Market Regulation will accelerate the construction of a quality infrastructure public service platform, promote the upgrading of quality infrastructure services from "one-stop" to "integrated", and promote the construction of a good industrial ecosystem with quality management collaboration, quality resource sharing, and complementary technological advantages.
