1) China is giving Hong Kong behind-the-scenes approval to become a crypto hub .
#香港#可能已获得默许建立全球#加密货币#中心。
据报道，香港欲成为加密货币中心的想法可能得到了默许。大陆加强了对加密货币和挖矿的限制，但香港有不同的法律和监管体系，可以吸引被排挤出大陆的加密货币交易所、资产管理公司和金融科技初创公司。
不过，该报告也指出，香港监管机构对加密货币仍持谨慎态度，可能需要先制定好监管框架。
Authorities in Hong Kong have been actively pushing to develop the country’s blockchain ecosystem.
Last week, rumors began to circulate that the government of Hong Kong was preparing crypto legislation to be enacted this year.
As long as one doesn’t violate the bottom line , to not threaten financial stability in China, Hong Kong is free to explore its own pursuit under ‘ One Country, Two Systems .’
2) Iraq to allow trade with China in yuan.
伊拉克允许使用人民币与中国进行贸易。
伊拉克此前与中国的贸易主要以美元进行。此举被视为伊拉克实现外汇储备多元化和减少对美元依赖的一种方式，同时可以进一步加强两国之间的经济联系。
中国是伊拉克最大的贸易伙伴，这一最新进展有望促进两国之间的贸易和投资，也有利于扩大人民币在国际上的影响。
It is the first time imports would be financed from China in yuan, as Iraqi imports from China have been financed in (U.S.) dollars only.
The move is the latest sign of the yuan's growing role on the international stage as China gradually opens up its financial markets and some countries look to diversify their currency exposures.
3) Apple Makes Major Progress on No-Prick Blood Glucose Tracking for Its Watch.
苹果公司的手表在无创#血糖#追踪方面取得重大进展。
苹果公司正在为Apple Watch开发一种无创血糖监测功能，以彻底改变糖尿病护理。该技术使用红外光来测量血糖水平，这与糖尿病患者目前使用的侵入性方法不同。
苹果多年来一直致力于这项技术的研究，并已在患者身上进行了可行性试验。据说该公司已经咨询了糖尿病专家和监管机构，以确保该设备符合医疗标准。
如果成功，该技术将在糖尿病检测方面改变游戏规则，方便数百万糖尿病患者监测血糖水平和病情。
Apple Inc. has a moonshot-style project underway that dates back to the Steve Jobs era: noninvasive and continuous blood glucose monitoring.
The goal of this secret endeavor — dubbed E5 — is to measure how much glucose is in someone's body without needing to prick the skin for blood.
