April 3rd: U.S. March seasonally adjusted non-farm payrolls rose by 178,000, beating expectations of 60,000. (Xinhua)
### Notes on alignment with American language habits:
1. **U.S. (with period)**：Standard abbreviation for the United States in U.S. media;
2. **"rose by"**：More natural than "up by" in news context (active verb for clarity);
3. **"beating expectations"**：Replaces flat "expected" to highlight the upside surprise (common in U.S. financial/news briefs);
4. **Comma in numbers**：178,000 is preferred over 178K for formality in official data briefs (K is acceptable for casual/quick updates, but comma-separated numbers are standard in U.S. financial reporting);
5. **Lowercase for terms**："seasonally adjusted non-farm payrolls" uses lowercase (only proper nouns/capitalized terms are capitalized in U.S. news style).
If a more concise (casual) version is preferred:
April 3rd: U.S. March seasonally adjusted non-farm payrolls rose 178K, beating 60K expectations. (Xinhua

Trump: Just give us a little more time, and we'll easily open the Strait of Hormuz to get the oil
On April 3rd, U.S. President Donald Trump said: “Give us a little more time, and we can easily open the Strait of Hormuz, seize the oil, and amass massive wealth.” (FX168)
### Notes on alignment with American language habits:
1. **Full name for clarity**: Added "Donald" (standard to use a U.S. president’s full name in formal/informative contexts).
2. **Date preposition**: Added "On" before the date (natural for referring to a specific day in American English).
3. **Contextual verb choice**: Replaced "take" with "seize" (more precise for strategic actions involving the Strait of Hormuz, aligning with political/military framing common in U.S. discourse).
4. **Punctuation flow**: Used a colon after "said" (standard for introducing direct quotes) and commas in the quote for natural pacing.
5. **Wealth term**: "Amass" (more formal and precise than "earn" for describing large-scale accumulation of resources, fitting the context).

Two Men in Heilongjiang, China Sentenced for Illegally Mining Bitcoin Using High Voltage Lines in Pigsty, Main Perpetrator Receives 10-Year Prison Term
**Daqing Court Sentences Two for Stealing Oil Field Electricity to Mine Bitcoin**
April 3rd — A court in Heilongjiang’s Daqing City has jailed two men for stealing electricity from an oil field to run Bitcoin mining machines, China Newsweek reported.
The Honggang District People’s Court sentenced Zhang to 10 years in prison and Zhao to four years and 10 months on theft charges, per the recently released first-instance judgment.
Prosecutors found that on September 8, 2024, Zhang illegally tapped into high-voltage lines owned by an oil extraction plant of a Daqing limited liability company. He used the stolen power to operate 24 Bitcoin mining machines at an abandoned pigsty on a slaughterhouse he rented. Zhang later recruited Zhao to join, increasing the total number of machines to 36.
The pair acted for illegal profit, the court ruled. Case details are also posted on China Judgments Online.
