										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-NZ-AU)</p>
</p>
<p align="justify">New York, NY, May 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BTC Ecosystem today announced a new strategic initiative involving AntPool and Bitmain, marking a significant development in the global Bitcoin infrastructure sector. The announcement introduces a broader collaboration focused on infrastructure optimization, high-efficiency computing systems, and next-generation blockchain ecosystem development.</p>
</p>
<p align="justify">Recently, the strategic alliance formed by Bitmain, AntPool, and leading projects within the BTC ecosystem signals that hardware efficiency, resource allocation, and investment logic are currently undergoing a revolution in vertical integration — a strategic shift highly valued by Western capital markets.</p>
<p align="justify"><strong><strong>Core Technology: Pushing the Limits of Computing Efficiency</strong></strong></p>
<p align="justify">The core technology of this collaboration lies in the deep customization and optimization of Bitmain’s most advanced hardware performance and ecosystem protocols.</p>
<ul>
<li>A game-changing energy efficiency ratio (J/T): Bitmain’s latest S21 Pro series hardware, with an energy efficiency ratio of less than 15J/T, forms the foundation for this ecosystem expansion. Through adaptation to the underlying protocol, systems can achieve more stable firmware upgrades, directly optimizing hardware response speed when processing complex inscriptions or Layer 2 transactions.</li>
<li>Large-scale deployment of liquid cooling technology: To meet the high-frequency computing needs of the BTC ecosystem, the three parties are promoting the standardized deployment of liquid-cooled cabinets. This not only extends the lifespan of ASIC chips but also improves heat dissipation efficiency by nearly 40%, providing hardware support for large-scale digital infrastructure operations.</li>
<li>Customized sidechain verification chips: Reports suggest that future Antminer devices may integrate a dedicated module to accelerate Bitcoin Layer 2 zero-knowledge proof (ZK) computation. This means that the hardware may support not only blockchain validation but also computing services for DApps within the ecosystem.</li>
</ul>
<p align="justify"><strong><strong>What is the BTC Ecosystem?</strong></strong></p>
<p align="justify">The BTC Ecosystem is operated by ADAPT ECOSYSTEM PTY LTD, a company registered in Australia and regulated by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC). Established in October 2022, the platform focuses on developing blockchain infrastructure powered by renewable energy sources.</p>
<p align="justify">Its operations span multiple regions. In Texas, infrastructure activities benefit from a stable and mature power grid capable of meeting continuous electricity demands. In Canada, hydroelectric power is utilized to enhance efficiency while keeping operational costs relatively low. In Australia, solar and wind energy are being progressively integrated to support the long-term growth of its infrastructure network.</p>
<p align="justify"><strong><strong>Investment Potential: From Infrastructure to Digital Asset Ecosystems</strong></strong></p>
<p align="justify">In the eyes of institutional investors in the West, simply holding Bitcoin represents a Beta return; however, participating in the expanding ecosystem surrounding Bitcoin infrastructure is increasingly viewed as an opportunity for broader market exposure.</p>
<p align="justify"><strong><strong>The Evolution of Computing Resource Utilization</strong></strong></p>
<p align="justify">Historically, infrastructure operators relied primarily on blockchain validation rewards. Now, through deeper integration with ecosystem platforms, computing resources may also support additional blockchain services and decentralized applications. This evolving model has attracted significant interest from technology-focused investors.</p>
<p align="justify"><strong><strong>The Revaluation of Infrastructure Companies</strong></strong></p>
<p align="justify">North American-listed infrastructure companies (such as MARA Holdings and Riot Platforms) are closely monitoring these developments. As infrastructure hardware evolves from being viewed solely as a computational tool to becoming part of a broader ecosystem network, valuation models may increasingly resemble those applied to technology platforms.</p>
<p align="justify"><strong><strong>Industry Observations and Future Outlook</strong></strong></p>
<p align="justify">This strategic move sends a clear signal to the market: Bitcoin is evolving beyond a digital asset into a broader technology and infrastructure platform.</p>
<p align="justify"><strong><strong>ESG Compliance and Institutional Entry</strong></strong></p>
<p align="justify">Bitmain’s high-efficiency hardware aligns with ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) standards increasingly prioritized by Western markets, making these infrastructure solutions more attractive to institutional investors.</p>
<p align="justify"><strong><strong>The New Dynamic of Infrastructure Decentralization</strong></strong></p>
<p align="justify">While collaboration among major industry participants has improved efficiency, maintaining decentralization remains a key discussion point within global blockchain communities. The collaborating parties have indicated that more transparent operational protocols may help address these concerns.</p>
<p align="justify">This represents a significant development not only for hardware technology but also for the broader digital infrastructure sector. For investors, attention is increasingly shifting toward projects capable of transforming advanced computing resources into scalable blockchain ecosystems.</p>

<p>As of mid-May 2026, ModelHub XC has completed adaptation and optimization for over 70,000 AI models on domestic chips, achieving more than 70% of its full-year target – well ahead of schedule.</p>
<p>In May, Phancy launched PhanthyMovie, a professional-grade AI video generation platform designed to enhance creativity, control, and stability in video production, enabling standardized and large-scale content creation for the industry.</p>
<p>Leveraging its advanced technology and proven execution capabilities, PhanthyMovie achieved rapid commercial traction. Just days after launch, the Company entered into a strategic cooperation agreement with Huanxi Media, covering approximately US$200 million in AI Token usage. The two parties will also collaborate on the development of a next-generation AI-powered film and television content production platform, further strengthening Phancy’s position in the AI-driven cultural and creative sector.</p>
<p><strong>Core Products Align Closely with Policy Trends, Strengthening Compute-Model Integration</strong></p>
<p>Since May 2026, China’s AI sector has seen a series of positive policy developments focused on computing infrastructure, data element circulation, and open-source compliance governance. Phancy’s core products, including HAMi vGPU and ModelHub XC, are well-aligned with national policy directions and mainstream industry trends.</p>
<p>In terms of computing resource allocation, policies emphasize cross-regional collaboration and broader access to computing power. Phancy’s HAMi vGPU offers unified scheduling and fine-grained resource partitioning, effectively improving utilization rates, optimizing data center energy efficiency, and supporting unified management across multiple chips to boost single-card efficiency.</p>
<p>In data and model governance, the government continues to promote high-quality dataset development and compliance management. ModelHub XC supports multi-model adaptation and optimization, incorporates data traceability and security certification features to help enterprises reduce compliance risks, and uses the EngineX engine for batch adaptation of domestic chips and models. This significantly improves compatibility while enhancing Token output efficiency through targeted model tuning.</p>
<p>Through deep integration of its computing and model layers, Phancy has built a comprehensive “Compute–Model” integrated solution. This addresses key industry needs such as efficient computing utilization, secure data supply, enterprise compliance, and domestic substitution, while strengthening its technological moat. The Company is well positioned to capture policy dividends and industry opportunities, supporting enterprises in their digital and intelligent transformation.</p>

<h2 class="mo-black" lang="en" xml:lang="en">Over Half of Youth Feel Inferior Due to Parental Criticism: Accumulated Emotions Increase Risks of Depression</h2>
<div readability="184.20812544547">HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 22 May 2026 – Save the Children Hong Kong today released its research report, “Hearing Children” – Child-led Research Report: How Family Interactions Affect Youth Mental Health (Full Report). Following the implementation of the Mandatory Reporting of Child Abuse Ordinance (the “Ordinance”), there has been ongoing public debate on how to enhance child wellbeing; however, unlike physical harm, psychological trauma is significantly more difficult to identify. According to the latest figures from the Social Welfare Department, a total of 1,354 child abuse cases were recorded in 2025. Of these, only 16 cases—a mere 1.2%—were classified as “psychological abuse”.</p>
<p><figure data-width="100%" data-caption="New study from Save the Children Hong Kong: Parental criticism leaves half of local youth feeling inferior and increases risks of mental health issues." data-caption-display="block" data-image-width="0" data-image-height="0" class="c6" readability="1.5"><figcaption class="c5" readability="3">
<p><em>New study from Save the Children Hong Kong: Parental criticism leaves half of local youth feeling inferior and increases risks of mental health issues.</em></p>
</figcaption></figure>
</p>
<p>The organisation believes that whilst the vast majority of parents care deeply for their children, they may inadvertently cause psychological trauma through their disciplinary methods, communication styles, and the way expectations are conveyed. Save the Children Hong Kong recommends that parents adopt “Positive Parenting” to strengthen parent-child non-violent communication, expressing their thoughts through mutual understanding and respect. Simultaneously, the Government should allocate additional resources to community and school settings to bolster mental health support for children and young people. Regarding the 25 categories of professionals specified under the Ordinance, training on identifying psychological abuse should be strengthened to support frontline practitioners in making clearer judgements on reporting thresholds and to facilitate timely intervention.</p>
<p><strong>Over 80% of Youth Feel Pressure to be “Perfect”: 40% Told to Improve Even When Praised</strong></p>
<p>The study was designed by six youth researchers aged 14 to 17, under the guidance of Professor Gary Tang Kin Yat, Associate Professor of the Department of Social Science at The Hang Seng University of Hong Kong. It aimed to explore the psychological and emotional harm hidden behind parental “love and discipline”. The study surveyed 408 children and adolescents aged 13 to 18, and found that <strong>20.4% of respondents experience heavy pressure to “be perfect”</strong>. Furthermore, <strong>41.2% reported that even when parents praise their achievements, it is often accompanied by reminders of “how to do better next time”</strong>. <strong>Over half of the respondents felt inferior to others due to parental disparagement</strong>, while <strong>more than 30% felt that no matter how hard they tried, they could never meet their parents’ expectations</strong>.</p>
<p>Ms. Wong Shek Hung, Director of Hong Kong Programme of Save the Children Hong Kong, noted that while parents genuinely care for their children, yet when faced with their own stresses and anxieties, they may struggle to find the most appropriate way to express their care. Consequently, their love can inadvertently become a burden for the child. “This reflects the pivotal role parents play in their children’s lives. Children place immense value on every word their parents say; as such, comments we may seem insignificant can directly impact how a child views themselves,” she said.</p>
<p>The survey also explored parental behaviours that adolescents found most distressing. Respondents identified the most hurtful remarks as toxic comparisons (e.g., “Why can’t you be more like them?”), invalidation of worth (“You are such a disappointment”), and dictatorial commands (“Because I said so”). The most resented behaviours included losing emotional control (“Losing their temper”), invading privacy (“Checking my phone”), and micromanagement (“Having to control everything”).</p>

<p><strong>Avoiding Adults: A Widening Gap in Mental Health Support for Children</strong></p>
<p>Another alarming phenomenon is the significant gap emerging in Hong Kong’s mental health safety net for children and adolescents. Unlike physical trauma, psychological distress is difficult to identify and often relies on the victims seeking help themselves. However, the study found that when children and young people feel distressed, their help-seeking behaviour tends to “avoid adults”. A vast majority of respondents (86.3%) prioritise speaking to friends or venting on social media (78.7%). Conversely, the overwhelming <strong>majority “rarely or never” seek help from teachers (96.8%), social workers (97.5%), or parents (73.3%)</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Nearly half of the respondents (49.6%) tend to internalise and handle their problems alone.</strong> Beyond the habit of self-reliance (<strong>47.3%</strong>), key reasons for this include a feeling that “no one truly understands or can help” (<strong>45.3%</strong>), a desire not to become a burden to others (<strong>29.9%</strong>), and a fear of being judged, misunderstood, or getting into trouble after seeking help (<strong>18.4%</strong>).</p>
<p>Ms. Wong Shek Hung expressed concern that current child protection systems—such as school-based social workers and helplines—may become ineffective if children actively avoid adult assistance, thereby limiting opportunities for timely intervention. She warned that if stress and emotions continue to accumulate without an outlet, the consequences could be severe.</p>
<p><strong>Invisible Wounds: The Link Between Mental Stress and Psychosomatic Symptoms</strong></p>
<p>Whilst psychological stress leaves no visible scars, its latent harm can be more enduring and profound. The study reveals that when adolescents are under mental pressure, their physical health is equally affected. When facing conflicts or difficulties at home, over a third of respondents (<strong>37.1%</strong>) reported “sometimes” experiencing insomnia, stomach aches, or headaches. Similarly, over a third (<strong>38.1%</strong>) indicated they “sometimes” experience acute anxiety reactions, such as nervous tension, trembling, or a racing heart.</p>
<p>Dr. Phyllis Chan Kwok-ling, Adviser of Save the Children Hong Kong and Psychiatrist, noted that psychological trauma is difficult to detect, which may lead to more severe cumulative consequences. “This is especially true if children and adolescents conceal their trauma or lack the self-awareness to address it. As trauma accumulates, it may become a root cause of emotional problems and increase the risk of developing conditions such as depression.” Dr Chan explained. She also expressed concern that the study found neither parents nor teachers are seen as confidants. “When adolescents face difficulties, they need adults to listen and share experiences. If they turn only to social media or peers, the lack of adult guidance may amplify their distress. Furthermore, relying solely on peers carries the risk of an ‘echo chamber’ effect; mutual validation amongst friends may deepen their sense of hurt and intensify wariness or hostility towards parents.”</p>
<p>Ms. Wong Shek Hung added that adolescents may not know how to articulate their inner needs, leading them to remain silent or cope in isolation. “In reality, as long as both parties are willing to take the first step towards better communication and empathy, a warm and intimate parent-child relationship can be maintained.”</p>
<p><strong>Strengthening Systemic Support and Empowering Children with Emotional Regulation Skills</strong></p>
<p>Beyond the family unit, society bears a responsibility to provide support across schools, communities, and institutional levels. We must systematically foster emotional management skills in children and assist parents in adopting positive communication and parenting techniques. To this end, the organisation proposes the following recommendations:</p>
<ol>
<li>Mainstream “Social and Emotional Learning” (SEL): Integrate SEL into the regular school curriculum to strengthen students’ ability to manage and articulate their emotions.</li>
<li>Promote “Positive Parenting” through Home-School Cooperation: Implement comprehensive Positive Parenting initiatives to develop disciplinary communication skills and foster empathy within parent-child interactions.</li>
<li>Enhance Mandatory Reporting Training: In relation to the <em>Mandatory Reporting of Child Abuse Ordinance</em>, training for professionals should be strengthened to include content on “identifying psychological abuse”, supported by real-life case studies to help frontline staff clarify reporting criteria and enable timely intervention.</li>
</ol>
<p><em>(For detailed information on these recommendations, please refer to the full report.)</em></p>
<p>Ms. Wong Shek Hung emphasised that family dynamics cannot be addressed with a “one-size-fits-all” legislative framework, nor is punishing parents an ideal way to manage family relationships. “The law provides only the most basic safety net. As previously mentioned, most parents care deeply for their children; the gap lies in communication and mutual understanding, as well as in adopting positive ways of interaction. Beyond legislation, we hope to improve parent-child relationships in the long term through support services and public education.”</p>

</p>
<p>Industrial heating is one of the largest contributors to global energy consumption, with more than 70 percent of process heat still generated from fossil fuels. Industrial heat pumps offer a highly efficient alternative by upgrading ambient and waste heat to usable temperature levels of up to 150°C. This makes them a key technology for reducing CO₂ emissions and achieving global climate targets.</p>
<p>The electrification of heat processes is a critical step in industrial transformation. Heat pumps deliver thermal output several times higher than the electrical energy input, making them one of the most efficient technologies for converting electricity into heat. When powered by renewable energy, CO₂ emissions can be virtually eliminated.</p>
<p>Innomotics provides a comprehensive portfolio of high- and low-voltage motors as well as medium-voltage drives to ensure reliable and efficient operation of heat pump compressors. The systems are designed for maximum availability, enabling operation for up to five years without scheduled shutdowns, and can be seamlessly integrated into existing industrial processes.</p>
<p>In addition to environmental benefits, operators gain from significantly lower operating costs, reduced maintenance requirements, and system availability of up to 99.9 percent. Industrial heat pumps also enable new opportunities for waste heat recovery and integration into district heating networks.</p>
<p>A flagship example is the largest heat pump system in the Netherlands, where heat is recovered daily from 65 million liters of treated wastewater. With Innomotics solutions, the system supplies district heating to around 20,000 households, covers approximately 15 percent of regional heat demand, and reduces CO₂ emissions by about 30,000 tons annually.</p>
<p>“Industrial heat pumps are a key technology for the energy transition and energy addition. They enable efficient use of existing heat sources while significantly reducing emissions. With our drive solutions, we provide the foundation for a sustainable and economically viable heat supply in industry,” says Michael Reichle, CEO of Innomotics.</p>
<p>He adds, “Operators are under pressure to make their processes both more efficient and more sustainable. Our technologies offer a scalable and economically a very attractive solution that supports the transition to electrified, low-carbon industrial operations.”</p>
<p><strong>Recently awarded industrial heat pumps projects</strong></p>
<p><strong>Innomotics supplies key drive technology for world’s largest industrial heat pump at BASF, Germany</strong>:<br />Innomotics GmbH has received a major order from Piller Blowers &#038; Compressors GmbH to deliver 11 water-cooled HV M high-voltage motors and GH180HC medium-voltage converters. The systems will be deployed in the world’s most powerful industrial heat pump at BASF in Ludwigshafen.</p>
<p>Designed specifically for the requirements of PILLER and BASF, the Innomotics solutions combine compact design, high efficiency, and long-term reliability. The heat pump system will generate up to 500,000 tons of steam per year, while the water-cooled drive technology ensures low noise emissions and efficient, continuous operation.</p>
<p><strong>Largest heat pump system in the Netherlands supplies 20k households with sustainable district heat<br /></strong> The Dutch energy company Eneco is pursuing climate neutrality by leveraging aquathermal energy from wastewater to supply district heating networks in Utrecht and Nieuwegein. At the core of the Netherlands’ largest heat pump system, advanced motor and drive solutions from Innomotics enable the recovery of heat from around 65 million liters of treated wastewater per day. This results in a highly efficient and sustainable solution: approximately 30,000 tons of CO₂ emissions are saved annually, around 20,000 households are supplied with district heating, about 15 percent of Utrecht’s heat demand is covered, and 27 MW of thermal energy is generated.</p>
<p><strong>Innomotics powers wastewater-based district heating in Amiens, France:</strong><br />With high-performance motor and drive solutions from Innomotics, Amiens Énergies is transforming treated wastewater into sustainable district heating. At the core of the system, 24 compact SD motors drive six large ammonia heat pumps, generating 18 MW of clean heat and supplying around 26,800 households.</p>
<p>By recovering thermal energy from 8.5 million m³ of wastewater annually, the solution reduces CO₂ emissions by approximately 41,000 tons per year while enabling a renewable energy share of over 70 percent. The robust and efficient Innomotics motors ensure reliable continuous operation under demanding industrial conditions, making the project a benchmark for climate-neutral urban heating.</p>
<p><strong>Innomotics enables efficient industrial heat pump operation in Finland:</strong><br />At a major industrial heat pump installation in Finland, Innomotics supplied advanced drive technology to increase overall plant efficiency in a connected paper mill.</p>
<p>Innomotics delivered a variable frequency drive for a centrifugal compressor, supporting a 6.1 MW motor (6.6 kV, 2-pole). The system recovers process heat and feeds it back into operations, improving efficiency while reducing energy consumption and emissions.</p>

</figcaption></figure>
</p>
<p>Spearheaded by Hyundai Motor Group, the MOU establishes a collaborative framework to build a comprehensive, self-sustaining hydrogen ecosystem in Hong Kong, targeted to be fully operational by the end of 2030. The collaboration will prioritise the development of waste-to-hydrogen technologies to convert landfill gas into clean energy, along with an immediate focus on piloting a liquefied hydrogen refuelling infrastructure. To enable full value chain integration, it also targets the deployment of customised hydrogen fuel cell commercial vehicles, including tour and airport shuttle buses.</p>
<p>Through facilitating public-private partnerships and inter-governmental collaboration, InvestHK is supporting Hyundai Motor Group and its partners to implement go-to-market strategies aligned with the shared vision for hydrogen ecosystem building.</p>
<p>This partnership will also position Hong Kong as a strategic base for Hyundai Motor Group’s hydrogen business expansion across the Asia-Pacific region.</p>
<p>Miss Wong said, “This collaboration marks a significant milestone in developing tangible, on-the-ground hydrogen applications to accelerate the green transition towards carbon neutrality. By combining Korea’s world-class technological capabilities with Hong Kong’s strategic urban context, Hong Kong could serve as an exceptional international demonstration platform for showcasing green and low-carbon technologies. If these cutting-edge innovations could be applied and scaled up successfully here, it will serve as a positive model and provide highly viable options for reference by modern cities worldwide.”</p>
<p>Ms Lau said, “Today’s multi-party signing is both a landmark moment for Hong Kong’s green economy and a clear signal that the city’s hydrogen ecosystem is gaining real traction. Over the past three years, InvestHK has helped leading hydrogen enterprises establish themselves in Hong Kong, several of which have since listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, raising over $2.5 billion in total. For businesses with global green ambitions, Hong Kong is where business growth takes shape.”</p>

<p>New energy is vital to Hong Kong’s Climate Action Plan 2050 and the national dual-carbon goals. As set out in the Chief Executive’s 2025 Policy Address, Hong Kong will establish public hydrogen filling facilities on Hong Kong Island and in Kowloon, press ahead with more hydrogen trial projects, and develop the GBA Hydrogen Corridor in collaboration with Guangdong Province. The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government is actively advancing hydrogen development through technological innovation, talent cultivation, ecosystem building, and regional co-ordination. To date, over 30 hydrogen trial projects have been greenlit, paving the way not only for decarbonisation targets, but also for unlocking new quality productive forces for green economic growth.</p>

<p>HOHHOT – Media OutReach Newswire – 22 May 2026 – From May 17 to 19, 2026, Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, proudly hosted the China main venue event for International Museum Day, centered around the theme “Museum: A Bridge Connecting the World.” Situated at the eastern gateway of the Grassland Silk Road and a key point along the Ancient Tea Horse Road, Hohhot has long served as a vital commercial and cultural crossroads linking the grasslands with China’s Central Plains, as well as connecting China with Russia, Mongolia, and the broader Eurasian region. Historically a hub for East-West cultural exchange, Hohhot continues to play a significant role as a northern gateway in China’s opening-up strategy. By hosting this prestigious national cultural event, China reaffirms its commitment to fostering intercultural dialogue through museums, enhancing the sense of shared identity among the Chinese people, and promoting mutual learning and exchange between China and the international community.</p>
<p><figure data-width="100%" data-caption="May 18, the opening ceremony of the main venue was held at the Inner Mongolia Museum, attracting a large gathering of people from all walks of life with enthusiastic responses.

</figcaption></figure>
</p>
<p>The event was jointly organized by the National Cultural Heritage Administration and the People’s Government of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. It brought together over 500 participants, including leaders from the museum and cultural heritage sectors, experts, scholars, and international guests, to explore innovative directions for museum development.</p>
<p>In recent years, Hohhot’s museum sector has experienced rapid growth, marked by continuous enhancements in public cultural service capabilities. The city has established a well-planned and distinctive museum system. The Hohhot Museum has pioneered a “one main museum with six branches” model, integrating premier institutions such as the Zhaojun Museum and the General’s Yamen. This approach has enabled the city to consistently present high-quality exhibitions, positioning museums as vital platforms for showcasing the cultural exchanges and integration among diverse ethnic groups, as well as promoting China’s rich traditional heritage.</p>
<p>The opening ceremony on May 18 at the Inner Mongolia Museum highlighted China’s museum achievements since the 14th Five-Year Plan, shared key cultural heritage updates, and emphasized museums’ role as bridges connecting history and the present, China and the world, and the hearts of all ethnic communities.</p>
<p>During the event, three major exhibitions were launched simultaneously. The <em>Heaven and Earth in Harmony: Exhibition of Ancient Chinese Music Culture</em>, the <em>Rivers and Mountains Shining: The Historical and Cultural Display of Hohhot</em>, and the <em>Radiance of Gold and Jade: Colorful China</em>. Featuring nearly 300 exquisite bronze, gold, jade, and stone artifacts from numerous cultural institutions nationwide, these exhibitions span 8,000 years of heritage and vividly illustrate the rich diversity and unity of Chinese civilization, as well as the history of ethnic integration and coexistence.</p>
<p><figure data-width="100%" data-caption="One of the exhibits in the Radiance of Gold and Jade: Colorful China temporary exhibition hall at the Inner Mongolia Museum" data-caption-display="block" data-image-width="0" data-image-height="0" class="c6" readability="1.5"><figcaption class="c5" readability="3">
<p><em>One of the exhibits in the Radiance of Gold and Jade: Colorful China temporary exhibition hall at the Inner Mongolia Museum</em></p>
</figcaption></figure>
</p>
<p>Alongside the exhibitions, main and youth forums convened domestic and international experts and scholars to engage in in-depth discussions on industry development, international collaboration, and related topics, infusing fresh insights and youthful enthusiasm into the ongoing advancement of museums. On the evening of the 18th, the “Museum Night” immersive performance debuted at Dazhao Square, blending ethnic art, intangible cultural heritage skills, and light and shadow effects to vividly showcase the captivating fusion of the three major cultures of the grasslands, the Yellow River, and the Great Wall.</p>
<p>Building on the momentum of the main event, Hohhot also launched the 2026 “Museum Season,” featuring a series of exhibitions, educational tours, and cultural tourism routes extending through the National Day holiday. This initiative fosters deeper integration between cultural heritage and the tourism industry, making cultural treasures more accessible to the public.</p>
<p>From its historic role as a hub on the Grassland Silk Road to its current status as a platform for civilizational dialogue, Hohhot’s high-caliber cultural offerings showcase the unique qualities and openness of Chinese civilization. The city’s museums truly serve as enduring bridges connecting China with the world and facilitating meaningful global exchanges.</p>

<p>JOHOR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 22 May 202<em>6 –</em> Forest City Golf Resort announced that the Forest City Classic Course recorded its largest year-on-year rise in rankings to date in the 2026 Asia Top 100 Golf Courses, advancing 14 positions to No. 36 in Asia and retaining its status as Malaysia’s top-ranked course. Adding to the momentum, the on-site Forest City Golf Hotel was recently recognised with the 2025 Agoda Gold Circle Award. As Malaysia gears up for Visit Malaysia 2026 and Visit Johor 2026, the resort expects heightened regional interest in golf travel.</p>

</p>
<p><strong>Strong Rankings and Asia Golfing Trend Underscore Forest City’s Readiness for Increased Demand</strong></p>
<p>According to Forest City Golf Resort, it hosted more than 100,000 golfers in 2025. Driven by national and state campaigns and expected rising interest in golf, 2026 is expected to see continued growth in visitor arrivals, especially among recreational and leisure-focused golfers.</p>
<p>Visit Malaysia 2026 and Visit Johor 2026 are complementary, government-led tourism campaigns designed to stimulate inbound and domestic travel through coordinated promotion, marquee events, and service enhancements across key gateways and destinations. With ambitious targets — Visit Malaysia 2026 aims to attract 47 million tourists and generate RM147.1 billion in tourism receipts, while Visit Johor 2026 targets 12 million visitors and an estimated RM42 billion in economic impact by year-end — these initiatives are expected to drive increased demand for hospitality, events, and leisure around Forest City SFZ throughout 2026.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Asia has seen a growing interest in golf participation and travel. Urban driving ranges and family-oriented mini-golf are broadening entry points to the game, and independent data from the R&#038;A, one of the two governing bodies globally determining the rules of golf, revealed in 2024 that Asia leads the global golf population ahead of Europe, Canada, and all other R&#038;A affiliated regions (excluding the US and Mexico, which are affiliated with the USGA). International golf travel into Asia is also growing, with Southeast Asia in particular strengthening its position as one of the most attractive regions for golf tourism due to championship courses, quality hospitality, and diverse cultural experiences — signalling a broad-based upswing supported by participation growth, investment, and tourism.</p>
<p>Against this backdrop, with the Forest City Classic Course ranking No. 36 in Asia and No. 1 in Malaysia for 2026, the resort is well positioned to translate demand into stay-and-play bookings, corporate golf events, and family getaways. Forest City Golf Resort also recently won the 2025 Agoda Gold Circle Award, reinforcing its appeal as an integrated golf-and-hospitality proposition designed to support stronger occupancy, longer lengths of stay, and higher per-guest spend through 2026.</p>
<p><strong>Classic and Legacy Courses Anchor Forest City Golf Resort: Seven Years, One Consistent Verdict</strong></p>
<p>Forest City Golf Resort in Johor, Malaysia, offers two 18-hole championship courses: the Classic Course, designed by veteran course architect Liang Guokun, and the Legacy Course, a signature collaboration between Jack Nicklaus and Jack Nicklaus II. Both have achieved strong rankings in Asia.</p>
<p>Co-hosted by the Chinese and Korean editions of Golf Travel magazine since 2016, the Asia Top 100 Golf Courses ranking evaluates course design, playability, landscape aesthetics, and technical difficulty. The Classic Course first entered the list in 2018 and has maintained an unbroken presence through 2026.</p>
<p>In 2026, the Classic Course placed No. 36 in Asia — an improvement of 14 places. Within Malaysia, three courses were recognised; Forest City ranked No. 1 nationally, with the others at No. 55 and No. 73.</p>
<p>Forest City views this sustained recognition as evidence of relentless operational refinement and consistent course quality. In a competitive ranking where many venues rotate in and out, seven consecutive appearances reflect consistently high professional standards in design, conditioning, and the playing experience, as well as a deep commitment to achieving higher levels of excellence.</p>
<p><strong>Course Design Philosophies: Return to Nature, Calibrated Challenge</strong></p>
<p>Forest City Golf Resort’s 36 holes present complementary architectural signatures at international championship standard.</p>
<p>The Classic Course, by veteran architect Liang Guokun, exemplifies his “Return to Nature” philosophy through multi-layered landscapes, sculpted bunker lines, and lake vistas integrated strategically across every hole. The lakes form part of the course’s water management system, delivering visual drama and functional sustainability in tandem. Liang’s standing is independently validated: both the Classic Course and his Holiday Island Golf Club feature in the 2026 Asia Top 100.</p>
<p>For golfers, the Classic Course translates design intent into experience: each shot invites thoughtful decision-making, rewarding precision and course management while immersing players in a carefully composed natural setting. The result is a round that challenges skill and strategy while offering a sense of progression through a living landscape.</p>
<p>The Legacy Course, a signature collaboration between Jack Nicklaus and Jack Nicklaus II, adds a distinct counterpoint. This rare father-and-son design balances calibrated challenge with aesthetic appeal, catering to players who seek a different test from the Classic Course while maintaining championship credentials.</p>
<p>Both the Classic and Legacy courses are GEO Certified, underscoring verified environmental stewardship rather than self-declared claims. In 2025, Forest City Golf Resort hosted several major tournaments and welcomed more than 100,000 golfers, confirming the venue’s role as an active stage for diverse styles of play as well as an exceptional destination for visiting golfers.</p>

<p><strong>Beyond the Courses: Forest City as a Golf Tourism Destination</strong></p>
<p>Forest City Golf Resort operates as an active international competition venue as well as a premier leisure destination. Its regularly held tournaments and growing visitor numbers underscore consistent utilisation throughout the year. These metrics also complement the Asia Top 100 recognition and reflect the resort’s capacity to stage events at scale while maintaining a high-quality guest experience.</p>
<p>Set within Forest City’s wider leisure ecosystem, the resort benefits from approximately 4 km of coastline, curated mangrove boat tours, sea-fishing, and year-round food and beverage options. This natural and amenity-rich setting supports repeat visitation: close enough to Singapore for convenient access and continually evolving to reward the return visit with rich and diverse experiences and itineraries.</p>
<p>Beyond golf, Forest City Golf Resort has secured nearly 20 industry accolades since 2018, contributing to Forest City’s portfolio of more than 40 international awards overall. For organisers, these third-party validations, combined with proven MICE infrastructure and cross-border connectivity, translate into a reliable platform for corporate golf days, incentive travel, and multi-event calendars — breathtaking for the new, heartwarming for the familiar.</p>
<p><strong>Resort Overview</strong></p>
<ul>

<p>TONGCHUAN, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 22 May 2026 – On May 18, International Museum Day, a cultural exploration event themed “Porcelain on the Silk Road: In Pursuit of Craft” was held in Tongchuan, Shaanxi. Foreign video blogger Li Cheng and Chinese culture enthusiast Karolina visited the Yaozhou Kiln Museum, aiming to trace the spirit of porcelain through its artistry and explore the millennium-old legacy of Yaozhou porcelain, while witnessing how China’s intangible cultural heritage continues to thrive through generations of preservation.</p>
<figure data-width="100%" data-caption="https://youtu.be/B08PZnOig8c" data-caption-display="block" data-image-width="1280" data-image-height="720" class="c6" readability="1">

<p><em>https://youtu.be/B08PZnOig8c</em></p>
</figcaption></figure>
<p>Yaozhou porcelain, produced in Tongchuan, boasts a history of more than a thousand years. Once exported overseas along the ancient Silk Road, it has long served as a symbol of China’s cultural exchange with the world. Its carved-decoration technique is especially renowned—vertical knife incisions for line work and oblique blade carving for clay trimming, which requires remarkable precision and skill. Having been lost for over 800 years, the craftsmanship was revived through a three-year endeavor by Mr. Li Guozhen, a leading authority in Chinese ceramic science, and his disciple, Mr. Meng Shufeng, a master of Chinese arts and crafts and a national-level representative inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage project of Yaozhou kiln ceramic firing techniques. Their achievement is a landmark example of the revival of famed Chinese porcelain. The beauty of Yaozhou porcelain lies in its resonant clarity, warm coloration, and olive-toned glaze. Crafted with distinctive raw materials, kilns, and firing techniques, it unites the elegance of the Tang and Song dynasties, the spirit of the Silk Road, and the devotion of master artisans. Embodying imperial elegance and the warmth of everyday life, Yaozhou porcelain carries forward a millennium of craftsmanship and Eastern aesthetics.</p>
<p>This year’s International Museum Day centers on the theme “Museums uniting a divided world.” During their visit to the Yaozhou Kiln Museum, Li Cheng and Karolina listened to the clear ring of the porcelain and learned about the kiln traditions passed down for centuries. Deeply moved by the experience, they remarked with admiration: Yaozhou porcelain is purely China. It is more than a piece of porcelain; it reflects the depth and quiet refinement of Chinese civilization.</p>
<p>Each piece of porcelain carries the legacy of a thousand years, fostering shared understanding across civilizations. From ancient imperial courts to distant Silk Road destinations, from the warmth of everyday life to contemporary cultural inheritance, Yaozhou porcelain continues to serve, through its understated elegance, as a cultural bridge connecting past and present and linking China with the world, and it demonstrates the enduring vitality of China’s intangible cultural heritage.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Source: Media Outreach</p>
<p>SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 22 May 2026 – Kaleida Studio, an arts and craft studio located in Tai Seng, has announced plans to introduce a DIY jewellery workshop, a guided crafting experience where participants can design and create their own gemstone necklace or bracelet.</p>
<p><figure data-width="100%" data-caption="Kaleida Studio's Workshop" data-caption-display="none" data-image-width="0" data-image-height="0" class="c4"> </figure>
</p>
<p>The upcoming workshop is designed to give beginners a simple introduction to jewellery making within a supportive studio environment. Designed for teenagers and adults, the sessions aim to make the craft accessible to beginners by combining creative exploration with an introduction to basic jewellery-making techniques.</p>
<p>During the workshop, participants will work with a curated selection of gemstone beads, charms, and jewellery components to design an accessory that reflects their personal style. At the end of each session, participants will complete and take home a handcrafted necklace or bracelet that they have assembled themselves.</p>
<p><strong>Helping Beginners Feel More Confident About Jewellery Making</strong></p>
<p>Interest in handmade crafts and personalised accessories has grown in recent years, yet many people hesitate to try jewellery making for the first time. Uncertainty about creative ideas, along with unfamiliarity with specialised tools and techniques, can make the process feel daunting for beginners.</p>
<p>Kaleida Studio developed the workshop to make the craft more approachable. Through step-by-step instruction and access to the appropriate tools and materials, participants can explore jewellery making in a structured environment without prior experience.</p>
<p>The session introduces basic tools and techniques while allowing participants to experiment with different combinations of gemstone beads and charms. This approach gives beginners the confidence to learn the process while enjoying the experience of creating a handcrafted piece that reflects their own design choices.</p>
<p><strong>A Personalised Jewellery-Making Experience</strong></p>
<p>A defining feature of the DIY jewellery workshop is its emphasis on personal design. Rather than following a fixed template, participants are encouraged to create pieces that reflect their own aesthetic preferences.</p>
<p>The studio provides a selection of gemstone beads, charms, and jewellery-making tools, allowing participants to experiment with different colours, textures, and arrangements. Basic assembly techniques are introduced to help ensure that each piece is securely constructed.</p>
<p>“At Kaleida Studio, we believe creativity should be something people can explore in their own way,” said Cherry, founder of Kaleida Studio. “This workshop grew from our own interest in jewellery making and our desire to share that experience with others. By walking participants through the process, we hope to show that anyone can create something meaningful and unique with their own hands.”</p>
<p><strong>Encouraging Creative Exploration in a Studio Setting</strong></p>
<p>Kaleida Studio seeks to provide a welcoming space where individuals can explore creative expression at their own pace. In addition to the jewellery workshop, the studio offers art classes for adults, giving participants opportunities to experiment with different artistic media in a relaxed and supportive environment.</p>
<p>The studio also hosts group sessions, such as a corporate workshop, where teams can take part in guided crafting activities designed to encourage collaboration and creative thinking.</p>
<p>For those looking for a more open-ended experience, Kaleida Studio offers a setting similar to an art jam studio, where participants can spend time exploring materials, ideas, and techniques in a flexible and supportive studio environment.</p>
<p><strong>Availability and Booking</strong></p>
<p>The DIY jewellery workshop is scheduled to launch in mid-2026. Once available, sessions can be booked through Kaleida Studio’s website. Enquiries are also welcome by email, phone, or WhatsApp.</p>
<p>Further details on workshop schedules and registration will be announced through Kaleida Studio’s official channels, including its Instagram page.</p>
<p><strong>Future Plans</strong></p>
<p>Kaleida Studio plans to further develop its jewellery workshop by introducing a wider range of materials and exploring additional types of handcrafted jewellery. These future additions aim to expand the creative possibilities available to participants while continuing to support the studio’s focus on encouraging artistic expression through hands-on crafting experiences.</p>

<p>SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES – Media OutReach Newswire – 22 May 2026 – Via Licensing Alliance (Via) today announced continued momentum for its Voice Codec patent pool, including the addition of a new unnamed licensee and new licensors, NovaVoice Limited and Cordial IP, further growing the program’s patent stack and market penetration from its initial five, large global licensors<span class="c3">.</span></p>
<p>The addition of the new licensee, unnamed at this time, reflects growing industry adoption of the collaborative licensing pathway Via’s Voice Codec program creates for accessing IP rights to critical voice technologies. This addition reflects a growing market uptake of advanced voice technologies, including EVS and IVAS, driven by rising demand as 5G and 5G-Advanced technologies are adopted worldwide.</p>
<p>Additionally, Via continues to prioritize transparency and has published its full rate structure for the Voice Codec pool, providing further clarity and predictability for implementers and to the broader market. For implementers, the full rate structure allows for complete visibility as they consider the appropriate royalty structure to choose from to meet their product level costs, evaluate future growth paths for their product lines, or plan their geographical expansion plan needs. This level of disclosure not only reduces uncertainty in licensing decisions but also enables more consistent benchmarking, reinforcing confidence in fair, market-aligned SEP licensing practices. The program’s royalty rates are listed on Via’s website at https://www.via-la.com/licensing-programs/voice-codec/#license-fees<span class="c3">.</span></p>
<p>The addition of the new licensors indicates increased interest from patent holders in licensing their voice technology SEPs through highly efficient, aggregated licensing vehicles such as patent pools. Future growth in both the licensor list and the number of patents consolidated through the pool license will continue to enhance the value of the Voice Codec License for implementers. Via’s Voice Codec program licensors are listed here: https://www.via-la.com/licensing-programs/voice-codec/#licensors<span class="c3">.</span></p>
<p>Via’s Voice Codec pool covers Enhanced Voice Services (EVS), which supports voice communications across more than one billion and growing active devices globally, as well as Immersive Voice and Audio Services (IVAS), which will play a central role in next-generation voice and spatial audio applications.</p>
<p>“We are pleased to welcome these new entrants to our pool, which signal continued growth and momentum our Voice Codec program,” said Kevin Mack, President of Via Licensing Alliance. “This pool license offers strong value relative to other market options and represents the only collaborative licensing solution for EVS and IVAS technologies, making it a smart and efficient pathway for companies seeking to license critical voice capabilities.”</p>
<p>EVS remains a foundational technology for high-quality voice communications in 5G and 5G-Advanced networks, with adoption continuing to expand as 5G, 5G-Advanced and future network iterations reach global scale. As spatial audio and advanced voice technologies expand into 6G and a broader range of non-cellular devices, the importance of IVAS technologies is expected to increase, with Via’s pool offering an early and effective licensing pathway.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Source: Media Outreach</p>
<p>HO CHI MINH CITY, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 21 May 2026 – Vietnam International Financial Center in Ho Chi Minh City (VIFC-HCMC), in collaboration with Gemadept Corporation and the Ho Chi Minh City Institute for Development Studies, today hosted a high-level forum to officially launch the <strong>International Maritime Financial Ecosystem (IMFE)</strong> — one of the four strategic pillars of VIFC-HCMC.</p>
<p><figure data-width="100%" data-caption="Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Huu Huan (left), Vice Chairman of VIFC-HCMC, and Mr. Nguyen Thanh Binh, General Director of Gemadept Corporation, at the official launch ceremony of the International Maritime Financial Ecosystem (IMFE) in Ho Chi Minh City.<br />” data-caption-display=”block” data-image-width=”0″ data-image-height=”0″ class=”c6″ readability=”4″><figcaption class=" c5 readability="8">
<p><em>Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Huu Huan (left), Vice Chairman of VIFC-HCMC, and Mr. Nguyen Thanh Binh, General Director of Gemadept Corporation, at the official launch ceremony of the International Maritime Financial Ecosystem (IMFE) in Ho Chi Minh City.<br /></em></p>
</figure>
<p>The forum, themed <em>“Developing the International Maritime Financial Ecosystem within the Vietnam International Financial Center in Ho Chi Minh City,”</em> took place at the VIFC-HCMC Building, 08 Nguyen Hue Street, District 1, and drew more than 100 senior delegates. Attendees included leaders from central ministries and agencies, the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee, representatives from coastal provinces (Da Nang, Khanh Hoa, Kien Giang), domestic and international financial institutions, port and logistics enterprises, and international organisations.</p>
<p>The day’s agenda focused on three headline moments: a strategic industry report by Roland Berger, titled <em>“Vietnam Maritime Industry: A Strategic Opportunity for Breakthrough Growth,”</em> which benchmarked leading global maritime financial hubs and mapped a roadmap to raise Vietnam’s domestic value retention from the current 4–5% to 15% by 2035; the official launch ceremony of the IMFE initiative within VIFC-HCMC; and a memorandum of understanding signed between VIFC-HCMC and Gemadept Corporation, owner and operator of Gemalink International Port in Cai Mep – Thi Vai, formalising Gemadept’s role as a founding lead of the initiative. The forum also saw the introduction of the first maritime financial products and initiatives to be developed within the VIFC-HCMC framework.</p>
<p><strong>A seaport system of growing global weight</strong></p>
<p>The ambition behind IMFE is grounded in the rapid rise of southern Vietnam’s port infrastructure. Ho Chi Minh City is home to Cat Lai Port — ranked among the world’s top 21, handling approximately 7.5 million TEUs annually — and Gemalink International Port in Cai Mep – Thi Vai, capable of receiving ultra-large container vessels. These existing assets are set to be joined by the Can Gio International Transshipment Port, a 571-hectare project with a projected capacity of 17 million TEUs per year, further deepening the city’s integration into global logistics and trade networks.</p>
<p>In 2025, the Ho Chi Minh City port system handled over 24 million TEUs, ranking 8th globally according to Lloyd’s List, and was associated with approximately USD 200 billion in import-export turnover, accounting for around 20% of Vietnam’s total trade value. Surrounding this physical infrastructure, a broad ecosystem of supporting services has expanded significantly, spanning cargo handling, warehousing, freight forwarding, customs clearance, and supply chain management. The total annual trade transaction value flowing through the region — encompassing goods, logistics services, and related financial demand – is estimated at over USD 1 trillion.</p>
<p><strong>The financial gap: billions flowing through offshore centers</strong></p>
<p>However, the scale of this physical activity stands in sharp contrast to the financial value Vietnam currently retains. Despite enormous cargo volumes, most high-value maritime financial services generating the largest profit margin including trade finance, ship financing, marine insurance and reinsurance, international payments, and logistics risk management continue to flow through developed offshore maritime financial centers. Vietnam currently captures only around 4–5% of these financial transaction values domestically, leaving an estimated USD 6–8 billion in potential value accessible but unrealised. To complete the maritime value chain and retain these economic benefits onshore, Vietnam must evolve beyond purely physical cargo transshipment. The gradual development of a comprehensive maritime financial ecosystem is an essential and inevitable strategic step.</p>
<p><strong>IMFE: from vision to institutional launch</strong></p>
<p>Against this backdrop, the IMFE initiative took shape as a core component of VIFC-HCMC, with Gemadept Corporation serving as a founding lead. The initiative was first introduced on September 12, 2025, during the symposium <em>“Ho Chi Minh City – A Modern, High-End, High-Value Service Hub,”</em> where Gemadept presented a strategic vision of integrating Vietnam’s deep-sea port infrastructure with a dedicated maritime financial ecosystem. To materialise that vision, the corporation cooperates with the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee, leading to its official designation as a Strategic Member of VIFC-HCMC on February 11, 2026, at the Center’s Launching Ceremony. Today, as the operator of Gemalink — a major deep-sea gateway at Cai Mep – Thi Vai — Gemadept is focused on channeling high-value capital flows and advanced financial services directly into Ho Chi Minh City’s real maritime economy.</p>
<p>With this foundation in place, today’s forum pursues three concrete objectives: to officially launch the IMFE as a strategic platform designed to localise maritime financial capital and services, laying the groundwork for Ho Chi Minh City to emerge as one of the region’s leading maritime hubs; to connect financial institutions, banks, insurance companies, shipping lines, logistics enterprises, and international organisations within an integrated ecosystem, bringing the port-to-finance model to life in Vietnam; and to introduce the first maritime financial products and initiatives, creating mechanisms for Vietnamese enterprises to access financing, insurance, and risk management tools domestically rather than through foreign intermediaries.</p>
<p><em>“Ports such as Can Gio and Cai Mep-Thi Vai are transshipment hubs for cargo flows — VIFC-HCMC must become the transshipment hub for capital flows serving Vietnam’s maritime economy,”</em> said <strong>Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Huu Huan</strong>, Vice Chairman of VIFC-HCMC.</p>

<h2 class="mo-black" lang="en" xml:lang="en">Driving Industrial Upgrading and Widespread AI Adoption through Smart Manufacturing, Public Services and “AI for All” Training</h2>
<div readability="174.50089785571">HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 21 May 2026 – The national 15th Five-Year Plan advocates deepening the “AI+” initiative, promoting the extensive integration of AI across all sectors of the economy and society. The HKSAR Government has clearly positioned AI as a core industry and is accelerating the establishment of the Committee on AI+ and Industry Development Strategy to fast-track AI adoption across sectors. Following the overwhelming success of the inaugural showcase held in February this year, the Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC) today once again presents the <strong>“AI with HKPC” Smart Solutions Showcase Series</strong>. Featuring nearly 50 innovative AI solutions, the showcase focuses on three major themes: <strong>AI for</strong><strong>M</strong><strong>anufacturing,</strong> <strong>I</strong><strong>nnovati</strong><strong>ng</strong><strong>P</strong><strong>ublic</strong> <strong>S</strong><strong>ervices, and</strong> <strong>AI Training for All</strong>. The event actively responds to the Government’s call to empower industries through AI and promote the transition from pilot projects to large-scale deployment. The event has received an enthusiastic response, attracting around 3,000 registrants from the Government, industry, academia and research sectors, reflecting strong market demand for AI solutions. The opening ceremony was officiated by Mr. Kevin CHOI, JP, Permanent Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry of the HKSAR Government, and Mr. Mohamed BUTT, MH, Executive Director of HKPC.</p>
<p><strong>Mr.</strong> <strong>Kevin CHOI, JP, Permanent Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry of the HKSAR Government</strong>, said: “This year’s Budget Announcement continues the Government’s overall industry‑oriented development approach, with innovation and technology as a key driver and financial empowerment as a central theme. It also puts forward a series of measures to promote the AI development. Over the past few years, the Government has enhanced the strategic layout for AI development, laying a solid foundation for both the industrialisation of AI and the integration of AI across industries. These efforts include establishing an AI Supercomputing Centre, launching a $3 billion AI Subsidy Scheme, and advancing AI research and development through InnoHK. Nevertheless, the most important priority remains “AI for All”, ensuring the comprehensive advancement of “AI+” across the whole community. HKPC is a key partner of the Government. At the same time, close collaboration among stakeholders in innovation and technology, industry, commerce and education is essential to fully harness the potential of AI. Talent and enterprises are welcome to explore development opportunities in Hong Kong, whether by establishing a presence or expanding their operations here.”</p>
<p><strong>Mr. Mohamed BUTT</strong><strong>, MH,</strong> <strong>Executive Director of HKPC</strong>, stated: ” Continuously advancing the ‘AI Plus’ initiative is one of the key national work priorities for this year. In a guideline to implement the ‘AI Plus’initiative, the State Council has also clearly specified key performance indicators for the short-term (2027), medium-term (2030) and long-term (2035) phases, with the ultimate goal of fully building an intelligent economy and an intelligent society across the country. The HKSAR Government’s clear positioning of AI as a core industry has greatly encouraged the innovation and technology sector. HKPC actively aligns with the national plan and supports the HKSAR Government’s initiatives, making AI a key development priority, spanning technology integration and innovation, AI governance and cyber security, as well as talent development. Through this one-stop approach, we aim to support enterprises in leveraging AI to upgrade and transform industries, while also promoting broader public awareness and adoption of AI.”</p>
<p><strong>Mr.</strong> <strong>BUTT</strong> added that he was delighted to see the successful return of the AI Solutions Showcase with wider industry participation. The exhibition aims to bring AI from “visibility” to “affordability, accuracy and security”, enabling wider adoption across industries and increasing AI penetration. HKPC will continue working with all sectors to advance the popularisation, industrialisation and application of AI, supporting Hong Kong ‘s development as a leading hub for AI innovation and application.</p>
<p>The themed programme, <strong>“AI for Manufacturing: Redefining Productivity in the AI Era​”</strong>, showcases a wide range of innovative applications, demonstrating how AI reshapes manufacturing sector, comprehensively enhances productivity, product quality and operational efficiency. Key solutions include:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Magnetic Crawling Robot for corrosion inspection of pipeline</strong>: Developed by HKPC in collaboration with the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EMSD), it leverages AI-assisted visual inspection to detect internal and external pipe corrosion, enabling predictive maintenance.</li>
<li><strong>Autonomous Air-ground Cooperative Tunnel Inspector</strong>: The system was jointly developed by HKPC, the Civil Engineering and Development Department (CEDD), and Hyder-Meinhardt Joint Venture, integrated with AI, robotics, and millimetre-level positioning in GPS-denied environments for quality inspection and maintenance in the Trunk Road T2 and Cha Kwo Ling Tunnel project.</li>
<li><strong>StationInspector</strong>: Co-developed by HKPC and MTR Corporation, it features AI-enhanced 3D visual scanning, advanced sensors and deep learning to accurately identify risks, navigate autonomously, generate reports and provide predictive maintenance recommendations, efficiently detecting safety hazards in stations.</li>
</ul>
<p>In addition, HKPC’s self-developed open AI platform “<strong>HKPC Picasso</strong>” integrates a variety of standardised core AI modules. Enterprises can quickly deploy vision inspection, large language model (LLM) and other capabilities without building infrastructure from scratch, achieving efficient and internationally compliant intelligent transformation. This helps enterprises overcome integration challenges, cost concerns, and security risks in AI adoption.</p>
<p>The <strong>“</strong><strong>Innovating Public Services, Driving the AI Transformation</strong><strong>“</strong> stream focuses on AI applications in Government processes, medical diagnostics and data analysis to enhance public service efficiency and risk management capabilities. The event invites speakers from the <strong>Digital Policy Office, Hong Kong Generative AI Research &#038; Development Centre and Cyberport</strong> to explore how AI infrastructure empowers public services. Industry leaders including <strong>Alibaba Cloud</strong>, <strong>Huawei</strong>, <strong>Intertek</strong> and <strong>Shadow Bot</strong> also join HKPC experts to share insights on smart governance, data governance and automated approval. Key solutions cover AI-enabled digital public service platforms, AI healthcare applications, and smart systems for data security and leakage prevention, demonstrating how AI improves the quality and security of public services.</p>
<p>The <strong>“FutureSkills: AI Training for ALL”</strong> stream aims to cultivate AI talent and prepare the workforce for future challenges. In recent years, the HKSAR Government has actively promoted territory-wide AI training and enhanced AI literacy. In response, HKPC Academy has launched the <strong>“Future Skills with AI” Framework</strong> to support the “AI for All” initiative. Through professional training programmes and certification covering AI knowledge, technology applications, business management and growth mindset, the framework comprehensively enhances the future workplace competitiveness of working professionals, technology practitioners, business leaders, educators and families.The themed forum, <strong>“</strong><strong>Enabling the Human + AI Workforce</strong><strong>“</strong>, explores in depth the evolving workplace ecosystem driven by human-AI collaboration, as well as strategies for organisational transformation and leadership action. A series of AI training workshops and expert sharing sessions further cover topics such as Vibe Coding for workplace empowerment, the new era of precision administration, human-machine collaboration, and AI-driven education.</p>
<p>Furthermore, HKPC signed Memoranda of Understanding with numerous schools and educational organisations, including the Subsidized Primary Schools Council, The Association of Hong Kong Chinese Middle Schools, Hong Kong Subsidized Secondary Schools Council, Hong Kong Aided Primary School Heads Association, Catholic Diocese of Hong Kong, The Hong Kong Association for Computer Education, and Hong Kong Federation of Education Workers TechEd Centre , to jointly promote AI education. The AI education programmes are expected to reach over 500 primary and secondary schools across Hong Kong, fostering future digital talent and strengthening the translation of industry-academia outcomes into real-world impact.</p>

<p>SAN FRANCISCO, USA – Media OutReach Newswire – 21 May 2026 – From May 11 to 14, a Hainan economic and trade delegation, jointly organized by the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade Hainan Provincial Committee (CCPIT Hainan)and the Hainan Youth Federation, visited the United States to conduct business exchange activities aimed at accelerating bilateral trade and investment between Hainan and the U.S. The delegation, comprising over 20 members, included heads of enterprises and institutions from sectors such as international trade, port logistics, digital technology, marine environmental protection, legal services, and modern agriculture.</p>
<p><figure data-width="100%" data-caption="China (Hainan Free Trade Port)–U.S. (San Francisco) Economic and Trade Exchange Meeting" data-caption-display="block" data-image-width="0" data-image-height="0" class="c6" readability="1"><figcaption class="c5" readability="2">
<p><em>China (Hainan Free Trade Port)–U.S. (San Francisco) Economic and Trade Exchange Meeting</em></p>
</figcaption></figure>
</p>
<p>At the China (Hainan Free Trade Port)–U.S. (San Francisco) Economic and Trade Exchange Meeting, the delegation highlighted the policy advantages and innovative achievements of the Hainan Free Trade Port to American enterprises. The two sides engaged in extensive exchanges in areas such as international trade, modern services, high-tech industries, and cross-border investment.</p>
<p>The head of the delegation noted that since the Hainan Free Trade Port began island-wide special customs operations on December 18, 2025, policy dividends have been steadily unleashed. The customs supervision model of “freer access at the first line, regulated access at the second line” has been fully implemented. The number of zero-tariff commodity items has been expanded to 6,631. Additionally, the policy of exempting tariffs on processed goods with a value-added rate exceeding 30% has created new cost advantages for cooperation between Chinese and U.S. enterprises.</p>
<p>Sean Randolph, a representative of the Bay Area Council, stated that direct exchanges between companies are essential for establishing long-term cooperative relationships. He noted that the San Francisco Bay Area, as a key gateway for Pacific trade, has maintained long-standing economic ties with Asia, particularly China. As the Hainan Free Trade Port continues to develop, sectors such as services, life sciences, and tourism are creating new opportunities for collaboration with California-based businesses.</p>
<p>During the visit, the delegation also participated in the 2026 China-California Economic and Trade Forum and held business negotiations with U.S. companies. The CCPIT Hainan signed a memorandum of cooperation with the Sino America Business Information Center to support the establishment of a platform for bilateral economic and trade cooperation and exchanges.</p>
<p>In addition, the delegation visited institutions such as the American-Chinese CEO Society, the Huamei Business Information Center, the Silicon Valley Open Intelligent Culture Foundation, and Sidley Austin LLP, engaging in in-depth exchanges on cross-border investment , specialized industry development, and commercial legal matters.</p>
<p>In June 2020, China unveiled a master plan to build the whole of Hainan Island into a globally influential and high-level free trade port by the middle of the century. The initiative reached a major milestone in December last year with the launch of island-wide special customs operations, which marked the completion of the first key step toward that goal.</p>
<p>The move has turned the island into a special customs supervision zone, allowing freer trade between Hainan and areas outside China’s customs borders, while enforcing standard customs controls for goods moving from Hainan to the mainland.</p>

</p>
<p>Ms Lee also met with local chambers of commerce and government investment agencies to explore new avenues for collaboration. She highlighted that Africa is one of the InvestHK’s key markets, as many African enterprises are now looking to diversify their funding sources and simplify cross-border transactions through Hong Kong’s deep capital markets and unique connectivity with Chinese Mainland.</p>
<p>Ms Lee said, “Africa has emerged as a vital engine of growth within the Global South. Our journey of thousands of miles to Africa begins with a meaningful step. For African corporates looking for a trusted and strategic partner to expand into the Chinese Mainland and the Asia-Pacific region, the interest, relationships, and momentum are building up.

<p>SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 21 May 2026 – Synology today announced the general availability of PAS7700, the company’s first active-active, all flash NVMe storage system. Built for mission-critical workloads, PAS7700 delivers enterprise-grade performance, uninterrupted resilience, and optimized operational efficiency.</p>

</p>
<p>As AI, data analytics, and virtualization platforms continue to reshape how Singapore enterprises operate their IT infrastructure, storage is no longer merely a place to keep data. It has become the foundation behind core operational applications. As a result, organizations are placing greater demands on access speed, service continuity, and long-term operational stability. This is also why enterprises are increasingly seeking high-performance storage platforms that can maintain reliable operations over time.</p>
<p>“PAS7700 reflects Synology’s 25+ years of experience in storage and our close collaboration with enterprise customers to address evolving requirements for high availability, performance, and scalability,” said Bie-i Chu, Executive Vice President of the Synology NAS Group. “After a year of extensive real-world validation through our enterprise proof-of-concept program, PAS7700 is field-proven to deliver high reliability and performance, while helping customers lower total cost of ownership (TCO).”</p>
<p><strong>A Storage Platform for Mission-Critical Systems</strong><br />PAS7700 is equipped with dual controllers and 48 NVMe SSD bays in a 4U chassis, and can scale up to 1.65 PB of raw storage capacity with up to seven expansion units. The system supports both file and block storage and offers broad protocol support, including NVMe-oF, iSCSI, Fibre Channel, SMB, and NFS.</p>
<p>With up to 2,048 GB of memory* and 100GbE networking, PAS7700 delivers up to 2 million IOPS, latency of under 1 millisecond and sequential throughput of up to 30 GB/s.</p>
<p>PAS7700 is designed for environments that require real-time data processing, such as virtualization, databases and large-scale data processing environments. It also targets performance-intensive and always-on workloads such as VDI, EDA and AI.</p>
<p>In addition, the solution is well suited for organizations operating data-intensive infrastructure in sectors such as data centers, manufacturing, semiconductor design, game development, and healthcare. These environments typically process large volumes of data concurrently and require systems that can sustain consistent performance and continuous service availability.</p>
<p><strong>Designed to Minimize System Disruption</strong><br />One of PAS7700’s most notable strengths is its active-active architecture, which enables both controllers to operate simultaneously rather than relying on a traditional active-standby model. If one controller or a network component fails, the system can continue delivering services, significantly reducing the risk of business disruption.</p>
<p>The system is built with multiple protection layers to ensure high availability, including triple-parity RAID, mirrored write cache protection, IP failover, and automatic failover mechanisms.</p>
<p>PAS7700 also includes Continuous Availability Manager that enables enterprise IT teams to visually monitor the health status of each system component and detect and address issues quickly before they affect services.</p>
<p><strong>Multi-Layer Data Protection for Enterprises</strong><br />Synology places strong emphasis on enterprise data protection. PAS7700 supports Self-Encrypting Drives (SEDs), providing hardware-level protection without compromising system performance.</p>
<p>The system also supports WORM folders and immutable snapshots, allowing snapshots to remain protected from unauthorized modification or deletion after creation, thereby reducing the risk of tampering and unauthorized data interference.</p>
<p>In addition, PAS7700 features Snapshot Replication and Hyper Backup that enable enterprises to build multiple layers of backup and recovery between production environments and secondary systems. This helps strengthen cyber resilience and improve data recoverability in the event of incidents or cyberattacks.</p>
<p><strong>Lower Cost, Greater Efficiency</strong><br />Beyond performance, Synology also addresses the challenge of optimizing long-term storage investment for enterprises. As many businesses in Singapore continue expanding their data infrastructure, virtual machines and internal AI workloads, the cost of high-speed storage is exerting increasing pressure on IT environments.</p>
<p>PAS7700 supports both inline and offline deduplication technologies to help reduce unnecessary data usage and extend SSD lifespan. This mechanism can significantly improve storage efficiency in large-scale data environments.</p>
<p>In the near future, the system will also support Synology Tiering, which automatically moves infrequently accessed data to high-capacity storage systems. This helps free up high-speed NVMe resources for active applications and hot data.</p>
<p>The entire platform runs on DSM Enterprise, Synology’s operating system developed specifically for enterprise storage, and is designed for environments that require high performance while maintaining intuitive management and operational simplicity.</p>
<p>PAS7700 is now available globally through Synology’s network of partners and distributors.</p>
