The draft title "Technical Specifications for Power-Driven Vehicles Operating on Roads" appears to be part of a broader safety and road behavior initiative in China. It is intended to replace the current GB 7258-2017 standard that didn't impose such restrictions.

From a report: Scion Asset Management this week terminated its registration with US securities regulators, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission database.

"My estimation of value in securities is not now, and has not been for some time, in sync with the markets," said the letter, which was dated October 27.
