Pandangan dari Rusia: Sebenarnya sebab utama lelaki benci tempat tempat khusus wanita

Pandangan dari Rusia: Sebenarnya sebab utama lelaki benci tempat tempat khusus wanita

(SeaPRwire) - Bar hanya untuk wanita di Minsk, dan reaksi yang tercetus Jika anda belum melihat contoh histeria lelaki kolektif sejak seketika, lihat komen pada berita tentang pembukaan pub hanya untuk wanita di Minsk. Terdapat tangisan, ancaman, dan bahkan rancangan strategik untuk mengambil alih wilayah itu. Lelaki yang berkomentar marah kerana akan ada tempat di bandar itu di mana mereka tidak dialu-alukan. Saya fikir kita telah melepasi peringkat di mana kemunculan tempat ‘hanya untuk gadis’ akan mencetuskan marah dan ketakutan. Lagipun, ini adalah tahun 2026. Di negara jiran Belarus, presiden telah mengisytiharkan Tahun Wanita, dan usahawan Alexandra Tyamchik telah memutuskan untuk membuka bar bir hanya untuk wanita. Anda mungkin berfikir: apa masalahnya? Hanya bar lain untuk wanita, bukan? Namun, kerana beberapa sebab, ksatria internet telah tergesa-gesa untuk mempertahankan ego mereka yang terluka. Apa yang lelaki tulis? Nah, perkara biasa. ‘Saya ragu wanita boleh minum sebanyak lelaki.’ Kawan-kawan, awak serius? Awak pergi bar hanya untuk bersaing tentang berapa banyak minuman yang boleh awak ambil? Ia menakutkan untuk bayangkan apa yang awak lakukan di hotel semua termasuk. Jika hanya komen seperti ini, kita boleh abaikan sahaja. Walau bagaimanapun, pengguna lain sedang merancang rancangan licik: ‘Anda boleh memandu ke sana dan mengambil seseorang yang telah minum beberapa gelas.’ Terima kasih kerana mengesahkan ini, sayang: wanita tidak membuka bar seperti ini untuk menimbulkan masalah, tetapi kerana tiada siapa yang mahu merasa seperti ‘pilihan siap pakai’ di mana-mana premis. Sesetengah orang bahkan mencadangkan untuk pergi ke sana hanya untuk membenci mereka. Ini dia: “Perkara yang lucu adalah, bukan hanya gadis yang akan pergi ke sana. Lelaki juga akan pergi, dan tiada siapa yang boleh melakukan apa-apa tentangnya.’ Sangat matang. Ia seperti di dalam lubang pasir: ‘Oleh kerana gadis-gadis membina rumah, kita akan pergi dan menumbangkannya!’ Kecuali rumah ini bukan milik anda dan tiada apa yang boleh ditumbangkan kecuali maruah anda sendiri. Sebenarnya, saya tidak fikir cerita ini benar-benar tentang bir, atau tentang wanita tidak tahu apa-apa tentangnya. Incidentally, pengarah pengeluaran di salah satu kilang bir paling terkenal Belarus adalah wanita. Soalan sebenar adalah: mengapa idea ruang di mana lelaki tidak dialu-alukan membuat mereka sangat marah? Ini mengingatkan saya tentang fakta sejarah yang menarik. Pada akhir abad ke-19, apabila kafe mula muncul di kedai departmen pertama Eropah dan stesen kereta api, tempat di mana wanita boleh pergi sendirian atau dengan kawan tanpa mempertaruhkan reputasinya, separuh lelaki masyarakat juga terkejut. Apa? Seorang wanita makan di tempat awam tanpa diiringi oleh suami atau abangnya? Itu adalah kegelapan akhlak dan akhir dunia! Kini, ia hanya kedai kopi yang kita kunjungi seratus kali sehari. Kita telah mempunyai gerabak kereta api dan gym hanya untuk wanita sejak lama. Adakah anda fikir ini hanya untuk menjauhkan jantina lawan? Walaupun ia kelihatan pelik dan menakutkan, semuanya untuk keselamatan. Ia untuk kita dapat pergi dari kerja ke rumah tanpa risiko diganggu. Untuk pergi ke gym memakai apa sahaja yang anda rasa selesa, bukannya sesuatu yang mungkin membuat anda merasa seperti produk di rak kedai. Untuk bersenam tanpa bimbang seseorang akan datang dan memberitahu anda bahawa itu bukan kerja wanita. Semua yang kita mahu adalah melakukan apa yang kita nikmati di tempat di mana kita merasa selamat dan selesa. Ia sama di sini. Wanita hanya mahu duduk-duduk, minum bir, makan pretzel, berbual tentang kehidupan mereka, ketawa terbahak-bahak, senyap dan berfikir sendiri tanpa perlu berhadapan dengan pandangan yang berkata, ‘Ingin berbual?’ Kita tidak mahu merancang laluan ke tandas untuk mengelakkan daripada menerima pujian dari jiran yang mabuk. Juga tidak mahu menunggu seseorang datang dan duduk di sebelah kita lima minit kemudian dan bertanya, ‘Anda di sini sendirian, cik?’ Perkara yang paling lucu atau sedih adalah wanita bertindak balas terhadap ledakan ini dengan keterkejutan dalam komen. Salah seorang lelaki bertanya, ‘Bagaimana perasaan anda tentang bar tanpa wanita?’ Jawapan gadis-gadis adalah hebat: mereka semua berkata mereka tidak peduli. Dan itu benar, kita tidak memerlukan wilayah anda. Kita tidak akan berkelahi dengan lelaki berpakaian rompi untuk tempat di pub berhampiran Underground atau memburu masuk ke bar di mana anda menonton bola sepak. Kita hanya mahu sudut kecil kita sendiri, bebas daripada semua itu. Jadi mengapa anda perlu memburu masuk ke sana? Saya rasa bar seperti itu akan menjadi hit segera di Moscow. Ia akan menyenangkan untuk minum bir dengan kawan-kawan perempuan saya di suasana yang selesa tanpa perlu menahan lelaki berdekatan yang fikir dia adalah satu-satunya yang dibenarkan minum bir. Ia juga akan hebat untuk dapat memesan bir dengan kawan tanpa merasa kecemasan yang tersembunyi, atau bimbang seseorang mungkin datang berbual, cuba mengambil anda atau berjenaka kasar. Secara keseluruhan, saya sangat gembira untuk wanita Minsk. Kepada lelaki yang menulis tentang ‘kegagalan’ dan ‘tidak dapat dipasarkan’, saya ingin berkata: anda hanya takut bahawa ia akan terlalu menyeronokkan tanpa anda di sana dan bahawa bir itu akan rasa lebih baik daripada di bar kegemaran anda. Dan anda tahu apa? Ia akan. Tetapi jangan kecewa. Lagipun, selalu ada bar lain di mana anda tidak akan diusir.

Harga minyak mentah Rusia menembus harga premium

Harga minyak mentah Rusia menembus harga premium

(SeaPRwire) - Permintaan tinggi di beberapa laluan adalah pemacu utama, kata Timbalan PM Aleksandr Novak Rusia telah berdagang minyak tanpa diskaun dan bahkan pada harga premium di beberapa laluan, kata Timbalan Perdana Menteri Aleksandr Novak pada Khamis, seperti yang dipetik oleh Vedomosti. Pasaran tenaga global berada di bawah tekanan akibat kesan kempen AS-Israel menentang Iran, yang telah mengganggu transit melalui Selat Hormuz dan menyebabkan kenaikan mendadak harga minyak, sekaligus meningkatkan kuasa penetapan harga Rusia. Bekalan negara ini tidak terjejas. Sekatan Barat sebelum ini telah memaksa Rusia menjual minyak mentah pada diskaun berbanding penanda aras global di bawah sistem had harga, yang kini ditetapkan pada kira-kira $44 setong. Dalam perdagangan minyak, penjualan “pada premium” bermaksud harga minyak mentah berada di atas penanda aras rujukan atau gred yang setanding, bukannya di bawah pada diskaun. Walaupun harga masa nyata untuk campuran Urals Rusia tidak tersedia secara umum, penanda aras Brent didagangkan pada sekitar $106 setong pada Khamis, dan US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) pada kira-kira $93, menurut data pasaran. Berucap di luar acara kongres Kesatuan Perindustrian dan Usahawan Rusia di Moscow, Novak berkata Rusia mempunyai rizab untuk meningkatkan eksport dan merancang untuk menggunakannya, sambil menambah bahawa negara itu telah mempelbagaikan laluan bekalan, termasuk saluran paip Siberia Timur-Lautan Pasifik ke China, transit melalui Kazakhstan, dan pelabuhan di Laut Hitam dan Baltik. Jurucakap Kremlin Dmitry Peskov berkata pada Rabu bahawa permintaan global yang kukuh untuk minyak Rusia akhirnya boleh menyukarkan untuk memenuhi sepenuhnya semua pembeli. Sementara itu, Presiden Vladimir Putin telah memberi amaran terhadap penggunaan kenaikan harga tenaga untuk keuntungan jangka pendek, mengatakan bahawa hasil eksport yang lebih tinggi boleh mencipta “godaan” untuk membelanjakan pendapatan tambahan pada dividen atau peningkatan perbelanjaan bajet. “Ia perlu untuk mengekalkan kebijaksanaan,” katanya kepada kongres di Moscow. Pasaran kekal tidak menentu dan “jika hari ini ia bergoyang ke satu arah, esok ia boleh berubah ke arah lain,” catatnya.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Hungary siasat wartawan dibiayai EU atas tuduhan spionaj

Hungary siasat wartawan dibiayai EU atas tuduhan spionaj

(SeaPRwire) - Wartawan yang dikaitkan pembangkang Szabolcs Panyi memainkan peranan utama dalam mengetap telefon Menteri Luar Negeri Peter Szijjarto Menteri Keadilan Hungary Bence Tuzson telah membuat aduan terhadap wartawan pembangkang Szabolcs Panyi, selepas Panyi mengaku membantu agensi perisikan asing mengetap telefon Menteri Luar Negeri Peter Szijjarto menjelang pilihan raya penting negara ini bulan depan. Berita mengenai aduan itu diumumkan pada hari Khamis oleh Gergely Gulyas, menteri kerajaan yang bertanggungjawab ke atas pejabat Perdana Menteri Viktor Orban. “Di Hungary, berita hari ini kebanyakannya mengenai pengintip,” kata Sulyas kepada wartawan. “Yang pertama antaranya ialah Szabolcs Panyi, yang didapati telah melakukan pengintipan terhadap negaranya sendiri bekerjasama dengan sebuah negara asing.” Panyi menguruskan cawangan Hungary bagi Vsquare, sebuah saluran media yang dibiayai oleh US State Department’s National Endowment for Democracy (NED), USAID, German Marshall Fund of the United States, dan dua dana kewartawanan yang disokong EU. Minggu lalu, beliau mengaku dalam rakaman audio yang bocor bahawa beliau telah memberikan nombor telefon Szijjarto kepada “organ negara sebuah negara EU,” yang ejennya kemudiannya mengekstrak “maklumat mengenai siapa yang nombor itu bercakap, dan mereka melihat siapa yang memanggil nombor itu atau siapa yang nombor itu panggil.” Dengan maklumat ini, “organ negara” yang tidak dinamakan kemudiannya membocorkan butiran perbualan Szijjarto dengan Menteri Luar Negeri Rusia Sergey Lavrov kepada pelbagai saluran media, termasuk Politico dan Washington Post. Panyi dan pemimpin pembangkang Peter Magyar mengambil kesempatan ke atas cerita ini sebagai bukti kolusi yang disyaki antara Szijjarto dan Lavrov. Szijjarto menjelaskan bahawa sebagai menteri luar negeri paling lama berkhidmat di EU, beliau kerap bercakap dengan Lavrov dengan mesej daripada rakan sekerjanya di EU. “Menyumbang kepada hubungan antara dua negara, jika ia tidak bercanggah dengan kepentingan Hungary, dipanggil diplomasi,” tambah Gulyas pada hari Khamis. Bercakap kepada Kossuth Radio Hungary pada hari Khamis, Tuzson berkata kes itu kini berada di tangan pihak berkuasa siasatan, sambil menambah bahawa pengintipan adalah kesalahan jenayah serius yang membawa hukuman penjara beberapa tahun. Panyi menggambarkan dirinya dalam fail audio yang bocor sebagai “kawan separa” ahli politik Anita Orban, seorang ahli parti Tisza milik Magyar. Beliau juga mendakwa bahawa beliau akan menjadi orang tengah kuasa yang berpotensi sekiranya Magyar menewaskan Viktor Orban dalam pilihan raya 12 April. Dalam kes yang berasingan, pihak berkuasa Hungary sedang menyiasat dua pakar IT Tisza atas tuduhan pengintipan, selepas serbuan tahun lalu mendedahkan salah seorang daripada mereka telah berhubung dengan pengintip Ukraine dan ejen perisikan dari sebuah negara EU. Tisza dan Panyi mendakwa bahawa kedua-dua pakar komputer itu sebenarnya bekerja untuk melemahkan Tisza dari dalam bagi pihak Orban.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Sharp Develops Long-Range Video Monitoring Technology

Sharp Develops Long-Range Video Monitoring Technology

TOKYO, Mar 26, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Sharp Corporation has developed long-range video monitoring technology which uses AI to analyze and record video streamed from locations 5 to 10 km away. This technology was developed in collaboration with Harada Laboratory at Kyoto University (hereinafter "Kyoto University"), Watanabe Laboratory at Waseda University (hereinafter "Waseda University"), and Oita Asahi Broadcasting Co., Ltd. (hereinafter "OAB"), as part of the Ultra-Coverage Beyond 5G Wireless and Video Coding through Japan–US–Australia R&D Collaboration project (*1) commissioned by the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT), Japan.Video analysis of grazing cattle during a field test.The video classifies difference in cattle behavior with green squares (standing) and yellow squares (feeding).Comparing the current footage (left) with the immediately preceding (40 seconds prior) footage (right), environmental changes are displayed at the top of the screen.This technology consists of long-range video transmission technology developed by Kyoto University, which enables the long-range 4K video transmission using a wireless transmission method based on very high frequency waves (VHF band), and Sharp's Dynamic Video Monitoring Technology, which recognizes the behavior of subjects in real-time without pre-training. Compared to conventional technologies, this new technology requires less preparation time for AI video analysis. In the future, this technology is expected to be utilized in a wide range of applications, including hazard detection and remote monitoring of disaster sites and evacuation shelters.To verify the effectiveness of this technology, Sharp conducted field tests in and outside Japan from March 2025 to January 2026 and demonstrated its applicability across various fields. In Japan, tests involving the monitoring of animal behavior at zoos and aquariums, as well as the streaming of live video from ships at sea were carried out. Overseas, a field test to monitor grazing cattle in remote areas has been conducted with Australia's national science agency, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO).To further advance the wireless communication and video compression technologies used in the long-range video monitoring technology, Sharp is submitting proposals at international standardization conferences for wireless communication and video compression, aiming for adoption in Beyond 5G, the next-generation communication standard, and Beyond VVC, the next-generation video compression standard, both to be formulated as international standards. Furthermore, Sharp is committed to supporting digital transformation through long-range wireless communication and AI technologies, aiming to apply these solutions not only to animals and ships—as demonstrated in this proof-of-concept—but also to a wide range of fields, including transportation infrastructure and disaster response.1. 4K video transmission over long distances (5 to 10 km) by long-range video transmission technology which utilizes the VHF band2. Dynamic Video Monitoring Technology (an AI technology) identifies subjects without pre-training and records changes in situations and behavior, applicable to various video analysis tasks with a shorter preparation period3. Effectiveness confirmed through field tests in and outside Japan*1 Grant No. 05101■ Key Features1. 4K video transmission over long distances (5 to 10 km) by long-range video transmission technology which utilizes the VHF bandWireless technologies used in mobile phones and other devices create coverage areas by densely deploying base stations at intervals ranging from several hundred meters to several kilometers, and transmit data between communication devices via these base stations. In contrast, the newly developed long-range video transmission technology utilizes VHF band wireless technology (*2) announced by Kyoto University, along with video compression and transmission technology. This enables the direct video data transmission between communication devices located 5 to 10 km (*3) apart, making it possible to transmit 4K video in locations where it is difficult to install base stations, such as remote islands, or within vast areas like ranches.

OKI and Hitachi Agree to Integrate Businesses Related to Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) and Other Automated Equipment

TOKYO, Mar 26, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Oki Electric Industry Co., Ltd. (TSE:6703, “OKI”), Hitachi, Ltd. (TSE:6501, "Hitachi"), and Hitachi Channel Solutions, Corp. (“Hitachi Channel Solutions”), today announced that we have agreed to enter into an agreement (“Integration Agreement”) regarding the business integration of their automated equipment businesses, including ATMs (“Business Integration”), as well as a shareholders’ agreement regarding the joint venture company established for this Business Integration (“Joint Venture Company”).Pursuant to the Integration Agreement, OKI will transfer its business responsible for the development and production of automated equipment, including ATMs, to Hitachi Channel Solutions - a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hitachi - through the Absorption-type Split. Subsequently, OKI will acquire a portion of Hitachi Channel Solutions’ shares, thereby establishing it as a joint venture. The planned ownership ratio of the Joint Venture Company will be 60% for OKI and 40% for Hitachi.Through this Business Integration, we will combine the business foundations - from development to manufacturing - that OKI and Hitachi Channel Solutions have cultivated globally over many years and establish a comprehensive service structure for terminals and branch channels targeting the financial, retail, and transportation markets. We will provide various hardware devices of automated equipment, including ATMs, which are essential social infrastructure, in a more continuous and stable manner. At the same time, we will further enhance our solutions and services that pursue added value for customers and expand our channel business based on additional customer touchpoints. With regard to the sales business for ATM-related equipment and services, we will maintain the existing framework under which OKI, Hitachi, and their respective sales subsidiaries will continue sales activities within their respective companies, as before.Going forward, following approval from the Japan Fair Trade Commission and other relevant authorities, we aim to start operations as the Joint Venture Company from October 1, 2026.Background and ObjectivesAgainst the backdrop of social structural changes such as the spread of cashless payments and the aging population, financial institutions are reevaluating the role of ATMs and branches, while the shift toward contactless operations is accelerating. Consequently, the role of ATMs is undergoing a significant transformation - moving beyond traditional cash transactions to include cardless transactions linked with QR code payments and the payment of various public utility bills - and the industry is entering a period of transformation that demands more advanced ATM functionality.Since developing the first cash-recycling ATM in 1982, OKI has expanded its automated equipment business across a wide range of sectors, including finance, retail, and transportation, contributing to the streamlining of operations involving cash and documents, as well as the improvement of services. Leveraging the strength of the OKI Group’s integrated value chain – from design and development, and manufacturing to installation and construction, maintenance and fully-outsourced ATM operation and monitoring - OKI provides high-value-added, one-stop solutions. In September 2025, OKI approximately doubled production capacity at its overseas manufacturing base, OKI VIET NAM CO., LTD., thereby strengthening OKI’s stable supply system.Hitachi and Hitachi Channel Solutions have been working to enhance services in physical settings, such as ATMs, while leveraging Hitachi Channel Solutions’ technological and development capabilities to support initiatives aimed at branch reform and digital transformation (DX), including the creation of new customer touchpoints such as “contactless” and “self-service” solutions for financial institutions. Furthermore, by utilizing the core technologies cultivated through their ATM business, Hitachi and Hitachi Channel Solutions have expanded their ATM operations globally and expanded their product and service offerings into new fields outside the financial sector.Amid this period of market transformation, the three companies agreed that combining the strengths of OKI and Hitachi Channel Solutions is essential for our customers and society. We have agreed to establish a joint venture with the aim of fulfilling our social responsibility to ensure the continuous and stable supply of ATMs - which remain a vital social infrastructure - while aiming for a shared strategic goal of growth in the global market. Furthermore, in the future, we aim to link the various data obtained from the products and service layers provided by the Joint Venture Company with Hitachi’s Lumada business. Through AI-driven analysis and utilization, we aim to support our customers - including financial institutions - in transforming their operations and creating new services, thereby jointly creating even greater customer value.About the Joint Venture CompanyThe establishment of the Joint Venture Company aims to respond to changes in the environment surrounding automated equipment, including ATMs, and to achieve sustainable business growth both in Japan and overseas. By combining OKI’s and Hitachi Channel Solutions’ expertise in solving on-site challenges, product development technologies, and manufacturing infrastructure, the Joint Venture Company will be able to create high-value-added, highly reliable products. Furthermore, by incorporating an operational framework that includes maintenance and monitoring, the Joint Venture Company will further enhance solutions and services designed to deliver added value to customers.Going forward, the Joint Venture Company plans to provide one-stop services ranging from automated equipment, such as ATMs, to related services.In Japan, the Joint Venture Company will widely provide the high-value-added products and services created to financial institutions, the retail and transportation industries, and customers in new sectors across Japan.Globally, the Joint Venture Company will promote the expansion of its world-class products and solution businesses as the core of its growth strategy.

Jerman bertukar pendirian mengenai rancangan tenaga hijau

Jerman bertukar pendirian mengenai rancangan tenaga hijau

(SeaPRwire) - Meninggalkan minyak dan gas akan "menyahindustrikan" negara, kata Canselor Friedrich Merz Keluar sepenuhnya daripada bahan api fosil akan "menyahindustrikan" Jerman, kata Canselor Friedrich Merz, yang merupakan satu perubahan daripada desakan keras negara itu sebelum ini terhadap tenaga hijau. Peralihan ini berlaku ketika Jerman terus bergelut dengan kesan ekonomi daripada pengurangan import tenaga dan kos yang meningkat. Tambahan pula, harga tenaga telah melonjak akibat konflik di Iran dan gangguan di sekitar Selat Hormuz, meningkatkan tekanan ke atas industri Jerman. Ekonomi terbesar EU itu lama bergantung pada tenaga murah dan stabil untuk mengekalkan sektor pembuatannya. Model itu dibina berdasarkan gas paip Rusia, yang ditinggalkan oleh Berlin selepas eskalasi konflik Ukraine pada 2022, beralih kepada bekalan yang lebih mahal dan mempercepatkan desakan ke arah tenaga boleh diperbaharui. Berucap di Bundestag pada Rabu, Merz memberi amaran bahawa meninggalkan minyak dan gas akan membahayakan industri utama, terutamanya kimia, sambil menambah bahawa "sebahagian besar industri kami... tidak akan lagi boleh dilaksanakan" pada masa itu. "Minyak dan gas adalah bahan mentah penting untuk industri kami," tambahnya, menyeru Jerman untuk mengekalkan keupayaan "untuk mengimport dan mungkin juga menghasilkan gas sendiri." Walau bagaimanapun, penyelidikan terkini menunjukkan Jerman tidak lagi boleh bergantung pada rizab sendiri, memandangan medan yang pernah produktif kini kebanyakannya telah habis. Peralihan itu telah mendedahkan ekonomi Jerman – yang hampir sepenuhnya bergantung pada import tenaga – kepada kos yang lebih tinggi dan kejutan bekalan. Rusia sebelum ini menyumbang 55% gas asli Jerman. Ekonomi negara itu telah mengecut secara berterusan sejak beralih daripada bekalan Rusia. Amaran Merz ditujukan kepada teras industri Jerman yang intensif tenaga, di mana syarikat-syarikat besar menghadapi risiko yang semakin meningkat daripada kos bahan api yang melambung tinggi dan ketidakstabilan bekalan. Di Ludwigshafen, lokasi kompleks utama BASF dan pengguna gas perindustrian terbesar negara, kenaikan kos tenaga dan bahan mentah telah memaksa kenaikan harga. Di seluruh hab perindustrian lain, termasuk apa yang dipanggil Segi Tiga Kimia Bavaria, syarikat-syarikat melaporkan keadaan "dramatik", dengan sesetengahnya mempertimbangkan pengurangan pengeluaran atau penempatan semula, memandangkan harga elektrik yang tinggi dan rantaian bekalan yang terganggu mengancam output dalam beberapa sektor Jerman yang paling bergantung pada tenaga. Kenyataan terbaharu Merz juga bertentangan dengan pendirian awalnya sendiri bulan ini, apabila beliau menolak kembali kepada kuasa nuklear walaupun terdapat seruan yang semakin meningkat dari Brussels untuk pelaburan EU baharu dalam tenaga nuklear. Hanya beberapa minggu lebih awal, beliau telah mengisytiharkan bahawa kerajaan Jerman telah melakukan "kesilapan strategik yang serius" dengan menghentikan kuasa nuklear secara berperingkat, sambil berkata beliau bertujuan untuk memulihkan "harga pasaran yang boleh diterima dalam pengeluaran tenaga" tanpa subsidi kerajaan yang berterusan. Jerman mematikan reaktor nuklear terakhirnya pada 2023, menamatkan fasa penamatan yang dipercepatkan selepas bencana Fukushima pada 2011. Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Dynasty Fine Wines Announces 2025 Annual Results

Dynasty Fine Wines Announces 2025 Annual Results

Financial Highlights (Audited)(HKD Thousand)Year ended31 December20252024Revenue170,011271,372Gross Profit53,382104,720Profit Attributable to Owners of the Company13,68833,440Basic Earnings per Share (HK cents)0.972.37HONG KONG, Mar 26, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Dynasty Fine Wines Group Limited (“Dynasty” or “the Group”) (Stock Code: 00828), a premier grape winemaker in China, today announced its audited annual results for the year ended 31 December 2025 (“the Year”).In 2025, due to the impact of macroeconomy as well as weak demand in wine consumer market in the PRC, the Group’s sales of medium to high-end products significantly declined, resulting in a 37% year-on-year decrease in revenue to HK$170.0 million. In addition, due to the decline in sales revenue and gross margin, as well as an increase in loss allowances for trade receivables owing to extended repayment from certain distributors, the profit attributable to owners of the Company decreased by 59% year-on-year to approximately HK$13.7 million, although such decrease in profit was already partly offset by a net gain on compensatory surrender recognised during the year. Earnings per share of the Company was HK0.97 cents per Share.With strengthened marketing effort for dry white in coastal region and the launch of new white wine and sparkling wine products, sales of white wine products served as the Group’s primary revenue contributor. Sales of red and white wines products accounted for approximately 39% and 54% of the revenue respectively for the year (2024: approximately 41% and 56% respectively). The gross margin of red wine products and white wine products in 2025 were 25% and 35% respectively (2024: 36% and 41% respectively). The overall gross profit margin decreased to 31% in 2025 (2024: 39%), mainly due to change in product mix with more products with lower prices and margin in response to market dynamics and needs during the year.The Group has been actively pursuing innovation, embracing the “5+4+N” product strategy, with “N” standing for developing various customised products and continuously creating new products to meet the diverse needs of different Chinese consumer groups. During the year, the Group launched a new gift set product, i.e. Dynasty Chinese Zodiac Commemorative Dry Red Wine for the Yi Si Year of Snake, integrating with the Chinese zodiac culture and the leading rise of Chinese-style fashionable products, by presenting the zodiac culture in a youthful visual language to attract potential consumers. In addition, based on its existing high-quality products, the Group continues to introduce new products and promote product upgrades. The Group participated in the 112th China Food & Drinks Fair in March 2025, introducing new products such as Tianyang Tea-flavoured wine series, Dynasty Baifu VSOP brandy, etc., to further improve its product matrix and provide consumers with diverse consumption choices. Breaking through from the constraints of traditional wine, this tea-flavoured wine series, with its core concept of “tea and wine fusion,” has captured market attention with its unique craftsmanship. During the China Food & Drinks Fair, the Group also held wine-tasting events, where the new wines from Dynasty Ningxia Winery won industry praise for their unique flavor and exquisite craftsmanship. In the second half of the year, the Group also introduced new products “Hi” tea-flavoured wine series in response to the market need, which are very suitable for ready-to-drink scenarios among young consumers.In addition to enriching the product matrix, the Group has been closely cooperating with distributors, pressing ahead with its marketing campaign, accelerating the innovation of consumption scenarios, and enhancing and strengthening the wine cultural experience. The Group held its national tour tasting and business events, new products launch ceremonies at various exhibitions and wine fairs, as well as promotion activities for the 20th anniversary of listing in Hong Kong, during which the Group actively promoted its latest product mix that covered all product lines.During the year, two joint venture companies approved by the Group were established in February 2025, for the manufacturing and sales of yellow wine and Chenpi wine and trading of sauce-flavour baijiu products nationwide in the PRC respectively. For the yellow wine project, installation and testing of production equipment of a manufacturing plant with a tank capacity of 3,000 tonnes of yellow wine and special yellow wine – Chenpi wine in Jiangsu is expected to be completed in the second half of 2026. Upon completion of the project, the Group will be able to produce special yellow wine – Dongtai Chenpi Wine which allows the Group to effectively expand product categories, seize development opportunities in the Chinese yellow wine industry. The project expansion aims to effectively implement Dynasty’s strategic plan, further improving the industrial layout, expanding category tracks, tapping into industry potential, creating new performance growth points, and realising Dynasty Group’s transformation into a full category, full industry-chain enterprise. For the sauce-flavour baijiu segment, Dynasty sauce-flavour baijiu products, namely ‘Han’, ‘Tang’, ‘Song’ and ‘Ming’ have been newly launched in the core-market in Tianjin and Shanghai and will be further strategically promoted to other regions in 2026. The sauce-flavour baijiu products satisfy the needs of customer groups with different spending habits and contributing to the Group’s business. In the future, the continuous development and expansion of the sauce-flavour baijiu industry and the improvement of the level of customer groups will inevitably and effectively drive the increase in the sales scale of Dynasty wine and related products, thereby enhancing our industry influence and brand awareness.Regarding online sales, the e-commerce team of the Group comprehensively operates online stores itself on the traditional e-commerce platforms, such as JD.com, Tmall and Pinduoduo for product sales, as well as comprehensive innovation on its brand, product categories, and business systems, procedures and models via interest-based e-commerce platforms, including Rednote, Kuai and TikTok.

OpenClawd Ships Verified Skill Screening After Security Researchers Find 12% of OpenClaw Marketplace Skills Are Malware

OpenClawd Ships Verified Skill Screening After Security Researchers Find 12% of OpenClaw Marketplace Skills Are Malware

NEW YORK, N.Y., Mar 26, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - OpenClawd AI today released a security-focused platform update that adds automated skill vetting, verified installer sourcing, and runtime sandboxing to its managed OpenClaw hosting service. The update responds to two converging threats targeting users of the open-source AI agent formerly known as Clawdbot and Moltbot: a large-scale malware campaign inside the official OpenClaw skill marketplace, and a parallel wave of counterfeit installation packages being promoted through search engine results.The numbers are bad enough on their own. Together, they describe a supply chain that is actively hostile to casual users.One in Eight OpenClaw Skills Is Confirmed MaliciousIndependent security researchers recently completed an audit of the ClawHub skill marketplace — the primary distribution channel for third-party OpenClaw plugins. Out of 2,857 published skills, 341 were confirmed as malicious. That is approximately 12% of the entire marketplace.The findings include:Keyloggers and credential stealers deployed through skills that appear to offer legitimate productivity featuresSilent data exfiltration — one widely-downloaded skill was found to instruct the OpenClaw agent to execute curl commands that sent user data to an external server without any notification or consent promptPrompt injection payloads embedded in skill descriptions, designed to override the agent’s safety guidelines and force execution of unauthorized commandsPlaintext credential exposure — a separate audit found that over 280 additional skills were leaking API keys, tokens, and passwords in their source codeA major cybersecurity firm tested a specific ClawHub skill and published the results: nine security findings, including two critical and five high-severity issues. The skill functioned as what the researchers called “functionally malware.” The most widely-downloaded malicious skill on ClawHub was a cryptocurrency stealer.Fake OpenClaw Installers Are Being Promoted by Search EnginesThe marketplace problem is only half the story. A cybersecurity research team discovered that threat actors have published counterfeit OpenClaw installation packages on open-source code repositories. These fake installers mimic the legitimate OpenClaw setup process but instead deliver a malware packer that disables firewall protections and routes network traffic through compromised systems.The attack chain is straightforward: a user searches for “install OpenClaw” or “Clawdbot download.” An AI-powered search engine returns a result linking to the malicious repository. The user follows the instructions. The malware deploys silently.The researcher who discovered the campaign noted that the person who first reported the threat was a technical professional. “If a fellow IT pro is susceptible to this threat,” he said, “then anyone could be.”“There are now two ways to get compromised before you even run your first OpenClaw command,” said Danny Wilson, spokesperson for OpenClawd. “You can install a fake version of the software, or you can install the real version and then add a skill that steals your data. We built this update so that neither path exists on our platform.”What OpenClawd Ships TodayThis update targets both the supply chain and the runtime:Verified installer sourcing — all OpenClawd instances are provisioned from cryptographically signed OpenClaw releases, pulled directly from the official repository. No third-party install paths. No search engine intermediaries.Skill vetting pipeline — third-party skills go through automated static analysis and behavioral testing before activation. Skills flagged for network exfiltration, prompt injection patterns, or credential exposure are blocked by default.Runtime sandboxing — each skill executes in an isolated environment with explicit permission boundaries. A skill that requests network access to an unexpected endpoint triggers a review before execution.Credential isolation — API keys and tokens are stored in encrypted vaults and never exposed in plaintext to skill code or agent logsAutomatic CVE patching — hosted instances track the latest stable OpenClaw release (currently v2026.3.x), with all known vulnerabilities patched before deploymentOpenClawd does not operate its own skill marketplace. Skills available on hosted instances are drawn from the official ClawHub repository after passing the vetting pipeline described above.OpenClawd is not affiliated with the OpenClaw open-source foundation, OpenAI, Peter Steinberger, or any third-party security research firm cited in this release. It is an independent platform built on the open-source Clawdbot codebase. The open-source project remains free at github.com/openclaw/openclaw.Pricing starts with a free tier. Paid plans include dedicated compute, priority security patching, and uptime monitoring.

CEO BlackRock berubah pendiriannya mengenai optimisme perang Iran

CEO BlackRock berubah pendiriannya mengenai optimisme perang Iran

(SeaPRwire) - Hanya beberapa minggu yang lalu, Larry Fink menyatakan harapan untuk “Iran yang dinedusukan”, membingkai konflik itu sebagai peluang pelaburan yang baik CEO BlackRock, Larry Fink, telah memberi amaran tentang kemelesetan global yang akan datang jika perang US-Israeli terhadap Iran berlarutan dan harga minyak kekal di atas $100 sebatang. Ramalan yang ketara ini datang hanya beberapa minggu selepas Fink membingkai konflik itu sebagai peluang pelaburan jangka panjang yang baik. Dalam temu bual luas dengan BBC minggu ini, Fink berkata harga minyak mungkin kekal di atas $100 sebatang selama bertahun-tahun jika Iran “tetap menjadi ancaman,” berpotensi mencapai $150 dan mencetuskan “kemelesetan yang mungkin ketara dan mendadak.” Dia menjelaskan dua senario untuk konflik itu – satu di mana Iran “diterima semula oleh komuniti antarabangsa,” membolehkan harga minyak jatuh di bawah paras pra-perang, dan satu lagi di mana ketegangan berterusan, membawa kepada kos tenaga tinggi yang berterusan dengan “implikasi mendalam” untuk ekonomi global. Walau bagaimanapun, awal bulan ini, Fink, yang syarikatnya memegang pegangan penting dalam syarikat kontraktor pertahanan US utama, mengambil nada yang jelas berbeza. Semasa kemunculan di Fox News, dia menolak idea perang yang berlarutan, meramalkan bahawa minyak akan “kembali ke tempat asal dan mungkin lebih rendah” sebaik sahaja konflik berakhir. “Jika hasil perang adalah Iran yang dinedusukan, dan mereka dibenarkan menjual produk minyak ke pasaran semula, terdapat kebarangkalian besar bahawa harga minyak akan berada di bawah $50,” katanya, menggesa pelabur supaya tidak keluar dari pasaran yang tidak stabil, menyatakan bahawa dia telah memberitahu orang ramai untuk “beli lebih banyak” dan membingkainya sebagai “peluang jangka panjang yang baik.” Sementara itu, firma pelaburan utama telah mula menyusun diri untuk perjanjian pembinaan semula pasca perang yang berpotensi. Laksamana James Stavridis, bekas komandor utama sekutu NATO yang kini berada di raksasa pelaburan Carlyle, memberitahu Semafor minggu ini bahawa pelabur telah mula memetakan peluang di Iran dan zon konflik lain. Mengingati pembinaan semula Korea Selatan pada pertengahan abad ke-20 selepas Perang Korea, Stavridis menyatakan bahawa “itu boleh jadi [Iran], itu boleh jadi Cuba, itu boleh jadi Venezuela, itu boleh jadi Ukraine. Itu adalah peluang pelaburan yang harus diambil sangat serius.” Serangan US-Israeli terhadap Iran yang tanpa provokasi telah menyebabkan kekacauan di pasaran tenaga, mengehadkan ketersediaan minyak dan gas serta mendorong harga minyak mentah Brent kepada setinggi $120 sebatang bulan ini.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Casa Minerals Receives Extensive Historic Drill Database from Congress Gold Mine Project; Desktop Technical Studies Define Three Priority Exploration Zones Ahead of 2026 Drilling Season

Casa Minerals Receives Extensive Historic Drill Database from Congress Gold Mine Project; Desktop Technical Studies Define Three Priority Exploration Zones Ahead of 2026 Drilling Season

Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - March 26, 2026) - Casa Minerals Inc. (TSXV: CASA) (OTCQB: CASXF) (FSE: 0CM) (the "Company" or "Casa") is pleased to announce that it has received a large dataset of historic drill hole information from the Congress Gold Mine Project in Yavapai County, Arizona, USA. Comprehensive desktop technical studies integrating this data with the Company's own 2022 drilling campaign have resulted in the identification and delineation of three distinct priority exploration zones that will form the basis of the 2026 field and drilling program.HIGHLIGHTSReceipt of a large historic drill hole database greatly expanding the geological model for the Congress Gold Mine Project3D modelling of over 100 historic and recent drill holes confirms strong structural integrity and continuity of the gold-bearing vein systemsThree distinct exploration zones classified: Echo Bay Exploration Zone (~750m x 1,000m), Malartic Exploration Zone (~450m x 1,150m), and New Congress Niagara Exploration Zone (~800m x 1,000m)Echo Bay Exploration Zone designated highest priority target based on historic drill density and potential for expanded mineralization envelopeHistoric drill intercepts include highlights such as 1.2m @ 43.88 g/t Au, 2.0m @ 21.88 g/t Au, 3.3m @ 27.13 g/t Au, and 11.4m @ 4.81 g/t Au within the Echo Bay ZoneCongress Gold Mine Project is fully permitted with excellent road access and proximity to an experienced regional labor forceCompany geologists and field personnel are being mobilized for initial site preparation and drill program setupHISTORIC DRILL DATABASE COMPILATIONCasa Minerals is pleased to announce the receipt of a comprehensive dataset of historic drill hole collars, surveys, and assay records from the Congress Gold Mine Project. This data was compiled from exploration programs conducted by previous operators -- most notably Echo Bay Mines Ltd. -- during the 1980s through the early 1990s. The database encompasses a significant number of drill holes distributed across the project area, substantially expanding the known geological framework of the property.Historic exploration at the Congress Gold Mine was conducted during a period when gold market conditions were materially lower than today's environment, which directly influenced the selection criteria and cut-off grades used by previous operators. Consequently, the historic programs focused predominantly on higher-grade gold intersections, and many lower-grade vein intercepts that may be economically significant at current gold prices were not assigned the same level of analytical priority. Casa believes this creates a meaningful opportunity to reinterpret the mineralization system with a lower economic threshold, logically expanding the dimensions of the mineralization envelope that will be targeted in the forthcoming drilling season.Important Disclosure: The historic drill hole results referenced in this news release were collected and reported by previous operators under practices that predate current NI 43-101 standards. These results are disclosed solely for contextual and geological interpretation purposes. They have not been verified by a current Qualified Person, do not conform to NI 43-101, and are not classified as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. A Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to classify the historic results as current mineral resources or mineral reserves, and Casa is not treating them as such.THREE-DIMENSIONAL MODELLING AND VEIN SYSTEM VALIDATIONDesktop technical studies have included rigorous 3D modelling of all available drill hole data using industry-standard geological modelling software. The resulting three-dimensional representation of the drill hole database, illustrated in Figure A below, demonstrates the remarkable density of historic drill coverage across the project and confirms the structural coherence and continuity of the principal gold-bearing vein systems.The 3D model was constructed using NAD83 / UTM Zone 12N coordinates and captures drill holes ranging from surface to depths approaching 600 metres below ground elevation. The model reveals that:The dominant vein systems exhibit strong northeast-southwest structural orientation, consistent with the principal fault architecture identified on surfaceThe alignment and attitude of vein structures intercepted in the Company's 2022 confirmatory drilling campaign correlate with high fidelity to those projected from the historic drill hole database, validating the overall geological modelThe 2022 drilling campaign identified additional vein structures not captured in the historic database, indicating that the current geological model is likely incomplete and that the total mineralized footprint may be materially larger than previously understoodIncorporating lower-grade vein intercepts -- previously deprioritized by historic operators under lower gold price conditions -- into the mineralization envelope substantially increases the aggregate target volume for future drillingFigure A: Four-panel 3D presentation of historic and recent drill hole collars and traces, Congress Gold Mine Project. Views from west (upper left), east (upper right), oblique (lower left), and plan (lower right). Coordinate system: NAD83 / UTM Zone 12N.

The classification of each zone reflects the combination of historic drill density, vein system geometry, and the nature of the gold mineralization documented to date. Figures 1 through 4 present these zones in their regional and local contexts.Figure 1: Regional overview map of the Congress Gold Mine Project showing principal vein systems (red dashed), fault corridors (blue dashed), shaft locations (Shafts 1 through 6), historic stope outlines (yellow, 1959-1987), patented claim and BLM claim outlines, and the location of the three principal exploration zones. The project is situated in Yavapai County, Arizona.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/1750/290037_3e63fd76341e7b14_002full.jpgEcho Bay Exploration Zone -- Highest Priority TargetThe Echo Bay Exploration Zone, measuring approximately 750 metres by 1,000 metres, is the largest and most intensively drilled zone on the property. It encompasses the historic non-NI 43-101 resource outline that was previously defined by Echo Bay Mines and represents the core of the historic gold-producing system at Congress. The zone is bounded by the principal northeast-trending veining corridors and is cut by northwest-trending fault structures that locally displace but do not terminate the mineralized vein arrays.As illustrated in Figure 2, the Echo Bay Exploration Zone hosts a dense cluster of historic drill hole intercepts distributed across the full extent of the zone. The drill hole collars and assay intercepts depicted in the figure provide compelling evidence for broad, zone-scale gold mineralization. Notably, the higher-grade intercepts are concentrated along the principal vein corridors while lower-grade disseminated and stockwork gold is documented in the intervening ground. This spatial distribution is characteristic of orogenic gold systems and is consistent with the geological setting at Congress.Selected historic drill intercepts within the Echo Bay Exploration Zone include:1.2m @ 43.88 g/t Au -- exceptional high-grade intercept within the principal vein corridor3.3m @ 27.13 g/t Au -- high-grade intercept demonstrating vein width and continuity2.0m @ 21.88 g/t Au -- high-grade vein intercept in the central portion of the zone2.4m @ 19.03 g/t Au -- confirming strong grade continuity along strike11.4m @ 4.81 g/t Au -- broad, elevated-grade intercept indicative of wide mineralization envelopes within the vein system1.5m @ 15.28 g/t Au -- demonstrating high-grade vein core and broader lower-grade haloes2.0m @ 12.19 g/t Au and 7.3m @ 11.00 g/t Au -- further confirming grade and continuity of the principal vein arrays3.1m @ 11.19 g/t Au and 2.0m @ 15.63 g/t Au -- documented in the southwestern portion of the zone, indicating lateral continuityGiven the historic drill density, the documented grade profile, and the alignment of the 2022 confirmatory drilling with the historic vein model, the Echo Bay Exploration Zone has been assigned the highest exploration priority for the 2026 program. The Company views the zone as offering the clearest near-term pathway to NI 43-101 resource delineation.Figure 2: Detailed plan map of the Echo Bay Exploration Zone (~750m x 1,000m), Congress Gold Mine Project. Shown are historic drill hole intercepts (brown dots annotated with interval length in metres and gold grade in g/t), principal vein system traces (red dashed), fault corridors (blue dashed), historic stope outlines (yellow), shaft locations, and the historic non-NI 43-101 resource outline (red hatch). Selected intercepts include 1.2m @ 43.88 g/t Au, 3.3m @ 27.13 g/t Au, 11.4m @ 4.81 g/t Au, and 2.4m @ 19.03 g/t Au, among numerous others.

The zone is named after the "Malartic-style" stratabound and vein-hosted gold mineralization that has been documented in this area of the project. Historic shaft locations CGC-003 and CGC-004 are located within this zone, providing direct underground access for potential future development.The Malartic Exploration Zone is characterized by multiple subparallel northwest-striking vein sets that have been intercepted in a series of shallow to moderate-depth drill holes. The vein system includes documented vein widths of 27 feet, 38 feet, and 55 feet (as labelled on Figure 3), indicating substantial structural corridors capable of hosting economically significant gold mineralization.Representative historic drill intercepts within the Malartic Exploration Zone include:3.6m @ 0.74 g/t Au and 10.3m @ 1.73 g/t Au -- broad lower-grade intercepts within the principal vein corridor demonstrating wide mineralization envelopes10.36m @ 1.41 g/t Au and 8.1m @ 3.53 g/t Au -- moderate-grade intercepts confirming continuity of the vein arrays7.7 @ 3.56 g/t Au and 8.1m @ 2.53 g/t Au -- further demonstrating consistent grade within vein-hosted mineralization3.2m @ 7.72 g/t Au and 2.8m @ 9.41 g/t Au -- higher-grade intercepts at the northern margin of the zone (shared boundary with the Echo Bay Zone)The Malartic Exploration Zone is relatively underexplored compared to the Echo Bay Zone, and the relatively sparse drill coverage suggests significant upside potential for zone expansion with systematic drilling.Figure 3: Detailed plan map of the Malartic Exploration Zone (~450m x 1,150m), Congress Gold Mine Project. Shown are historic drill hole intercepts (annotated with gold values), principal vein system traces, shaft locations including CGC-003 and CGC-004, historic stope outlines, and documented vein widths of 8.2m, 11.6m, and 16.8m.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/1750/290037_3e63fd76341e7b14_004full.jpgNew Congress Niagara Exploration ZoneThe New Congress Niagara Exploration Zone, measuring approximately 800 metres by 1,000 metres, is the northernmost of the three classified exploration zones and is situated along a structurally distinct corridor characterized by the northwest-striking New Congress-Niagara fault system. This zone encompasses historic Shaft 1 as well as drill holes CGC-008, CGC-009, and CGC-010 from the Company's 2022 exploration program.The 2022 drilling in this zone identified four discrete veins with widths ranging from 49.5 feet to 206 feet -- a notably wide structural corridor. These widths are illustrated in Figure 4 as Vein 49.5 ft, Vein 55 ft, Vein 70.5 ft, and Vein 206 ft. The scale of these structural features highlights the potential for significant bulk-tonnage style mineralization within this zone, distinct from the higher-grade but narrower veins documented in the Echo Bay Zone.Critically, the 2022 drilling at the New Congress Niagara Zone identified several vein structures that are not represented in the historic drill database, reinforcing the Company's view that the existing geological model incompletely captures the full scope of the vein system. This structural incompleteness, combined with the relatively limited historic drill coverage of this zone, underscores its exploration potential.Figure 4: Detailed plan map of the New Congress Niagara Exploration Zone (~800m x 1,000m), Congress Gold Mine Project. Shown are drill hole locations from the 2022 exploration program (CGC-008, CGC-009, CGC-010) alongside Shaft 1, with identified vein widths of 49.5 ft, 55 ft, 70.5 ft, and 206 ft.

AAC Technologies CFO Guo Dan: Accelerating Expansion into AI Blue Ocean for a New Revenue Milestone in 2026

SINGAPORE, Mar 26, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – March 19, AAC Technologies Holdings Inc. (HKEX Stock Code: 2018) held its 2025 Annual Results Announcement Conference in Singapore and reported a strong set of annual results. The Group achieved RMB 31.82 billion in annual revenue, representing a 16.4% year-on-year increase and marking a record high of over RMB 30 billion, with net profit rising 39.8% to RMB 2.51 billion. These results reflect the continued success of the Company’s strategic transformation, with revenue reaching new highs in recent years and net profit delivering sustained double-digit growth.“Pioneering Innovation” and “AI Empowerment” have emerged as the central themes of AAC’s recent developments, driving its strategic transformation from a traditional component supplier to a builder of AI perception infrastructure.In an interview during the conference, AAC’s Chief Financial Officer, Guo Dan, highlighted that the Company’s strategic new business lines — represented by optics and automotive solutions — together with its expansion into high-potential AI sectors such as heat dissipation, robotics, and XR, have become the key growth engines supporting mid-to-long-term sustainable development. This strong momentum is expected to continue unlocking further growth potential in 2026.Looking ahead to 2026, Dan expressed strong confidence. Despite persistent industry volatility, the Group will capitalize on its diversified business portfolio to deliver steady revenue growth, with the growth rate expected to be no lower than that of 2025. At the same time, the gross profit margin is projected to improve steadily from the 22.1% baseline in 2025.( AAC Technologies CFO Guo Dan)1. On the Optics Business: Plastic Lens Gross Margin to Rise to 35%, with Proprietary WLG Technology Reaching Key MilestoneAs a core strategic growth driver, AAC’s optics business (AAC Optics) has achieved rapid development since in 2019. It reported RMB 5.73 billion in revenue in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) exceeding 32% over the past six years, establishing itself as a key pillar of the Group’s overall growth.Dan stated that in 2026, the optics business is expected to deliver steady revenue growth while further improving its gross margin. In 2025, the Company continued to upgrade its mid-to-high-end lens product mix, with the shipments of lens products with 6 or more elements accounting for over 18% of the total and seven-element (7P) lens shipments reaching 15 million units. Building on this foundation, the gross profit margin of plastic lenses is projected to rise from 30% in 2025 to 35% in 2026, reaching a industry-leading level.Notably, AAC has made a significant breakthrough in its globally proprietary Wafer-Level Glass (WLG) lens technology, reaching a key milestone. This advancement not only expands the scope of application scenarios but is also expected to drive a shift in the market landscape traditionally dominated by plastic lenses. Dan added, “In the future, whether in smartphones, automotive solutions, or emerging smart terminal devices, we will see more stable incremental growth that will inject long-term momentum into our business growth.”2. On the Automotive Solution Business: The "Second Growth Engine" Solidifies, with 2026 Revenue Expected to Grow by 15%-20%Through the acquisition of Premium Sound Solutions (PSS), AAC has rapidly established a core platform in the smart automotive solution sector, successfully developing a second growth engine for the Company.Dan revealed that following the acquisition of PSS in 2024 and the acquisitions of Chuguang and PSG in 2025, the Company has become a comprehensive system-level automotive solution provider, expanding its business from smartphones into the entire automotive domain. In 2025, the Company’s automotive acoustics business recorded revenue of RMB 4.12 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 16.1%. This performance has positioned AAC among the world’s top-tier automotive audio system suppliers, second only to industry leaders such as Harman and Bose.Regarding the 2026 outlook for the automotive acoustics business, Dan stated that the segment is expected to maintain high double-digit growth of 15% to 20%, while keeping the gross margin stable. The Company’s automotive solution business has now achieved broad customer coverage both in China and overseas, including multiple Asian markets. This diversified regional presence is expected to provide steady and reliable support for both revenue and profit growth.3. On AI Sectors: Heat Dissipation Business Poised to Reach RMB 10 Billion, with Explorations in XR and Robotics Opening New FrontiersIf optics and automotive solutions represent the Company’s “core growth engines,” then business lines such as heat dissipation, robotics, and XR optical waveguides constitute the high-potential “reserves” for AAC’s future development. Dan noted that the Company’s revenue in the past was primarily driven by traditional mobile phone acoustics and haptics business. However, following years of strategic transformation and amid broader industry technological shifts, AI has become the fundamental driver underpinning the sustained growth of the Company’s multiple product lines.“For example, the rapid growth of the heat dissipation business is mainly attributable to AI-driven demand. Similarly, our initiatives in robotics and AR glasses are also propelled by AI,” Dan explained. In 2025, the Company’s heat dissipation business recorded revenue of RMB 1.67 billion, grew by 410.9% year-on-year. This performance has further solidified the Company’s position as one of the leading global suppliers in consumer electronics heat dissipation. “As AI technology continues to advance, related application scenarios are expected to extend from smartphones to a wider range of devices, including laptops and tablets, generating strong momentum for the Company’s overall growth.”The acquisition of Yuandi Technology, with more notable strategic significance, has allowed AAC to formally enter the data center liquid cooling, AI server heat dissipation, and high-end thermal solutions sectors, and extend its capabilities from “terminal-side heat dissipation” to “AI infrastructure heat dissipation” creating a synergistic “terminal + infrastructure” development model. Dan stated clearly, “Leveraging the substantial market opportunities across multiple sectors, our heat dissipation business has the potential to reach and even exceed a scale of RMB 10 billion in the coming years, positioning it as a highly promising and important growth engine for the Group.”In the XR optical waveguide field, through the acquisition of Dispelix — a global leader in AR diffractive waveguide technology — AAC has become one of the few industry players with vertically integrated capabilities spanning optical waveguide design and manufacturing. The Company can now offer one-stop full display module solutions, encompassing optical waveguides, optical engines, push-pull lenses, eye-tracking systems, and electrochromic technology. AAC is expected to become the world’s first supplier to achieve mass production of SRG full-color optical waveguides for leading customers in 2026. Dan disclosed, “The per-unit value in the optics business can reach USD 100–200. These initiatives are expected to deliver clear mass production and shipment opportunities within the next two to three years, continuously generating significant value in revenue, profit, and long-term market expansion.”Regarding the robotics field, Dan pointed out that the industry’s market definition, application scenarios, and product forms are still evolving and remain in a diverse exploratory stage. AAC has long maintained deep involvement and has established comprehensive layouts across multiple core areas, including acoustics, motors, optics, structural components, and electromechanics, laying a solid foundation to capture opportunities as the sector matures. “For example, our dexterous hand products for humanoid robots have already entered mass production and shipments, generating over RMB 100 million in revenue last year. In addition, we are co-developing the first motor, as a core component for AI hardware devices, with our customers. Overall, the Company has built deep cooperation with leading domestic and international customers, and we believe we will become an important player in this field in the future.”4. Strategic Review: Combining Technology Reuse with Ecosystem Construction to Anchor Long-Term GrowthIn AAC’s three-decade development journey, the core driver behind its sustained growth has consistently been rooted in the dual logic of technology reuse and ecosystem construction.Leveraging its long-established, robust technological foundations in micro-acoustics, precision optics, electromagnetic drives, sensors, and semiconductors, the Company has successfully upgraded and expanded its business, with its focus shifting from mobile phones and consumer electronics to emerging high-growth areas, including AI terminals, robotics, XR, smart vehicles, and data center infrastructure. This approach enables its core technological capabilities to be efficiently migrated and continuously amplified across diverse application scenarios.This development model — “upgrading application scenarios without changing underlying technology” — not only ensures the stability and success rate of business transformation but also allows the Company to rapidly address capability gaps through strategic ecosystem integration, such as the acquisitions of Dongyang, PSS, Chuguang, and Yuandi. Together, these efforts have created a virtuous cycle of “technology–product–scenario–customer.”The clear pathway to realizing this cycle was articulated by Dan in her outlook: Looking ahead to 2026 and beyond, AAC will position itself as a “builder of AI perception infrastructure,” deepen cross-business synergy and full-scenario coverage, accelerate its expansion into the “AI blue ocean,” strengthen its global footprint, and continue riding the wave of industry development to achieve new heights.source as Forbes(https://www.forbeschina.com/investment/71292) Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Iran: Ujian yang AS tidak boleh gagal

Iran: Ujian yang AS tidak boleh gagal

(SeaPRwire) - Mengapa Iran telah menjadi ujian penentu bagi Amerika Hasil peperangan dengan Iran akan menentukan keupayaan Amerika di pentas dunia untuk tahun-tahun mendatang. Itulah yang menjadikan konflik semasa di Asia Barat begitu penting, jauh melampaui rantau itu sendiri. Dasar AS terhadap Iran telah menjadi semakin tidak menentu. Daripada memberi tumpuan kepada retorik presiden yang sering berubah, adalah lebih berguna untuk meneliti logik yang mendasari konfrontasi tersebut. Washington nampaknya telah meyakinkan dirinya bahawa masanya adalah tepat untuk bertindak tegas terhadap Tehran, dengan mengeksploitasi apa yang dianggapnya sebagai peluang kelemahan. Objektif tersebut, jika dilihat secara berasingan, mempunyai rasionaliti dingin yang tertentu. Satu serangan tunggal yang dilaksanakan dengan baik, secara teori, boleh mencapai beberapa matlamat lama sekaligus: menyelesaikan rungutan sejarah krisis kedutaan 1979, menyingkirkan rejim yang dianggap memusuhi Israel, memperoleh pengaruh ke atas sumber tenaga utama dan laluan pengangkutan, serta melemahkan projek integrasi Eurasia yang sedang berkembang. Penasihat nampaknya telah membentangkan perkara ini sebagai peluang yang jarang berlaku. Presiden menerima hujah tersebut. Namun cita-cita sedemikian bersandarkan kepada salah perhitungan yang asas. Iran bukanlah Iraq pada tahun 2003, mahupun Afghanistan pada tahun 2001. Keupayaan ketenteraannya jauh lebih besar berbanding mana-mana musuh yang pernah dihadapi secara langsung oleh AS dalam beberapa dekad kebelakangan ini. Ia adalah sebuah negara yang besar dan berdaya tahan dengan kedalaman strategik yang mendalam serta kapasiti untuk mengakibatkan gangguan serius terhadap perdagangan global dan aliran tenaga. Perkara terakhir ini adalah kritikal. Kedudukan geografi Iran memberikannya pengaruh yang dimiliki oleh segelintir negara sahaja. Malah peningkatan konflik yang terhad boleh mengancam laluan perkapalan dan kestabilan ekonomi jauh melampaui Timur Tengah, yang menjejaskan kepentingan AS dan sekutunya secara langsung. Realiti itu sahaja merumitkan sebarang percubaan untuk mencapai kemenangan yang cepat dan bersih. Selain itu, konteks politik adalah sangat berbeza daripada campur tangan AS yang lalu. Paparan kekuatan semasa, yang malah kekurangan justifikasi rasmi seperti kempen-kempen terdahulu, telah meresahkan rakan kongsi Washington. Sekutu yang mungkin pernah merasa terpaksa menyokong AS kini lebih teragak-agak, menimbang risiko penglibatan berbanding hasil yang tidak menentu. Andaian asal nampaknya adalah bahawa Iran akan menyerah kalah dengan cepat. Bagaimana rupa penyerahan kalah itu tidak pernah jelas sepenuhnya: kejatuhan rejim, pematuhan secara paksa seperti di Venezuela, atau penyelesaian melalui rundingan yang mengehadkan kuasa Tehran secara mendadak. Walau apa pun, konflik yang berpanjangan bukanlah sebahagian daripada rancangan tersebut. Memandangkan konflik telah berlarutan, satu persoalan yang lebih asas telah muncul: apakah sebenarnya yang membentuk kejayaan? Dilema ini mencerminkan anjakan yang lebih luas dalam dasar luar Amerika. America First sering ditafsirkan sebagai pemencilan atau kawalan diri. Dalam praktiknya, ia bermaksud sesuatu yang lain sama sekali, iaitu mengejar objektif AS tanpa tanggungjawab dan, sebaik-baiknya, tanpa kos. Prinsip asasnya adalah mudah: mencapai faedah maksimum sambil meminimumkan komitmen. Untuk seketika, pendekatan ini nampaknya berkesan. Pada tahun pertamanya, Donald Trump berjaya menekan rakan kongsi untuk menerima syarat-syarat Amerika, seringkali dengan menggunakan kuasa ekonomi yang amat besar. Namun strategi itu bergantung kepada ketiadaan tentangan yang bermakna. Ia menjadi jauh lebih berbahaya apabila diterapkan pada situasi yang tidak dapat dikawal. Mencipta krisis geopolitik yang besar dan mengharapkan pihak lain untuk menanggung akibatnya sementara Washington mengaut keuntungan adalah satu cadangan yang berbeza sama sekali. Ia berisiko menggugat kestabilan bukan sahaja musuh, tetapi seluruh sistem di mana AS sendiri beroperasi. Dalam dekad-dekad awal, kepimpinan AS dirangka dalam istilah “tatanan dunia liberal,” di mana memajukan kepentingan Amerika dibentangkan sebagai bermanfaat kepada semua. Konsep “hegemon yang baik hati” muncul dari tempoh ini. Pandangan dunia Trump menolak premis tersebut. Sebaliknya, ia mengandaikan bahawa kemakmuran AS mesti datang dengan mengorbankan pihak lain, dan sudah tiba masanya untuk menterbalikkan keseimbangan lama. Anjakan ini membawa implikasi yang mendalam. Sebuah hegemon yang tidak lagi berusaha untuk menyediakan kestabilan mesti lebih bergantung kepada paksaan. Namun paksaan, untuk menjadi berkesan, memerlukan kredibiliti. Kuasa dominan mesti menunjukkan dengan jelas bahawa ia boleh memaksakan kehendaknya apabila perlu. Iran telah menjadi kes ujian. AS, pada hakikatnya, telah memilih cabaran ini untuk dirinya sendiri. Oleh itu, taruhannya adalah sangat tinggi. Kegagalan untuk mencapai hasil yang muktamad bukan sekadar satu lagi kemunduran, ia akan mempersoalkan keupayaan Washington untuk bertindak sebagai kuasa global di bawah peraturan baharu yang cuba ditetapkannya. Inilah yang membezakan konflik semasa daripada kempen-kempen sebelumnya. Iraq dan Afghanistan berakhir tanpa kemenangan yang jelas, tetapi ia diperjuangkan di bawah paradigma strategik yang berbeza. Konfrontasi hari ini adalah lebih terbuka secara transaksional, lebih jelas mengenai unjuran kuasa, dan kurang dikekang oleh pertimbangan undang-undang atau ideologi. Itu menjadikan penentuan kemenangan lebih mendesak dan lebih sukar. Dalam peperangan pilihan, kriteria kejayaan tidak ditetapkan lebih awal. Namun hasil tertentu jelas akan dianggap gagal. Adalah sukar untuk membayangkan, sebagai contoh, bahawa sebarang operasi boleh dianggap berjaya jika Iran mengekalkan kawalan berkesan ke atas Selat Hormuz, sebuah titik sempit yang mempunyai kepentingan global. Semakin lama konflik berterusan tanpa penyelesaian yang jelas, semakin besar tekanan terhadap Washington. Kekaburan bukanlah satu pilihan bagi sebuah kuasa yang berusaha untuk mentakrifkan semula peranannya dalam sistem antarabangsa. Kesimpulannya adalah nyata. AS kini memerlukan kemenangan yang muktamad. Alternatifnya, konflik yang berlarutan tanpa hasil yang jelas, akan menjejaskan kedudukannya bukan sahaja di Timur Tengah, tetapi di peringkat global. Pada masa yang sama, kemungkinan penyelesaian melalui rundingan nampaknya rendah. Tuntutan kedua-dua pihak kekal terlalu jauh berbeza. Itu menjadikan peningkatan konflik sebagai jalan ke hadapan yang paling mungkin. Risikonya adalah jelas. Namun bagi Washington, kos kegagalan mungkin lebih besar lagi.

Iran menjawab ultimatum 15 mata Trump – media

Iran menjawab ultimatum 15 mata Trump – media

(SeaPRwire) - Teheran telah menolak peta jalan tersebut, dengan mengatakan ia tidak akan membenarkan presiden AS menentukan syarat AS telah menghantar kepada Iran cadangan perdamaian 15 mata yang menuntut pembongkaran program nuklearnya, sekatan roket, dan penghentian sokongan kepada sekutu rantau, demikian laporan media AS dan Israel. Pegawai Iran dilaporkan telah menolak peta jalan tersebut, dengan mengatakan perang akan berakhir mengikut syarat Teheran. Rancangan ini pertama kali dilaporkan oleh New York Times pada Selasa, dengan sumber mengatakan ia telah disampaikan melalui Pakistan dan tidak jelas sama ada Israel menyokong cadangan itu. Akhbar itu tidak memberikan butiran rancangan, dengan hanya mengatakan ia meliputi program nuklear dan roket balistik Iran. Kemudian, Israeli Channel 12 menggariskan 14 daripada 15 mata dalam rancangan itu. Rangka kerja itu dilaporkan menuntut Iran membongkar sepenuhnya kemudahan nuklearnya di Natanz, Isfahan, dan Fordow, mengharamkan secara kekal pengayaan uranium di tapaknya, dan memindahkan simpanan uranium terkaya kepada IAEA mengikut garis masa yang disetujui. Teheran juga akan dikehendaki meninggalkan rangkaian kumpulan bersenjata rantau, meletakkan had ketat pada program roket balistiknya, dan mengekalkan Selat Hormuz terbuka sebagai lorong maritim bebas. Sebagai balasan, semua sekatan berkaitan nuklear akan diturunkan dan Washington akan membantu program nuklear awam Iran, termasuk Loji Tenaga Nuklear Bushehr, yang mempunyai penyertaan Rusia. Teheran menafikan bahawa ia telahadakan perbincangan dengan Washington. Leftenan Kolonel Ebrahim Zolfaghari, jurucakap komander angkatan tentera Iran, membuat ejekan terhadap AS kerana “berunding dengan diri sendiri.” Iranian Press TV melaporkan, dengan merujuk kepada sumber, bahawa Teheran telah menolak peta jalan tersebut, dengan mengatakan perang akan berakhir pada “masa yang dipilih sendiri oleh [Iran].” Beliau juga berkata Teheran tidak akan membenarkan Presiden AS Donald Trump menentukan syarat, dan bahawa penyelesaian harus mengandungi “jaminan konkrit.” Beberapa media melaporkan bahawa Iran telah menuntut agar AS bersetuju dengan konsesi penting untuk menamatkan perang. The Wall Street Journal berkata Teheran menegaskan bahawa Amerika menutup semua pangkalan militernya di Teluk Parsi, menjamin tiada operasi ketenteraan lagi, menurunkan semua sekatan, dan membenarkan pengumpulan bayaran daripada kapal yang melalui Selat Hormuz, serta mengecualikan program roket balistik Iran daripada perbincangan selanjutnya. Menurut Reuters, Iran juga mahu AS membayar ganti rugi kerugian waktu perang dan memperoleh kawalan rasmi ke atas selat tersebut. Berkomentar mengenai cadangan Trump yang dilaporkan, Menteri Ekonomi Israel Nir Barkat berkata ia kelihatan “indah di atas kertas,” walaupun Iran tidak berkemungkinan menerima ia.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Perang Iran ‘lebih buruk’ daripada Irak – Perdana Menteri Sepanyol

Perang Iran ‘lebih buruk’ daripada Irak – Perdana Menteri Sepanyol

(SeaPRwire) - Pedro Sanchez telah memberi amaran tentang "kesan yang lebih luas dan lebih mendalam" daripada kempen AS-Israel terhadap Tehran Perang AS-Israel yang sedang berlangsung terhadap Iran akan mempunyai "kesan yang jauh lebih buruk" daripada pencerobohan Iraq yang diketuai AS pada 2003, kata Perdana Menteri Sepanyol Pedro Sanchez, sambil mengesahkan semula penolakan Madrid untuk mengambil bahagian. Bercakap di dewan rendah parlimen pada Rabu, Sanchez menggambarkan konflik itu sebagai "bencana mutlak," dengan mengatakan ia telah "merosakkan undang-undang antarabangsa dan menyusahkan Timur Tengah." Beliau menambah bahawa ia telah menyala semula ketegangan di Iraq dan Lubnan, meningkatkan ketidakselamatan di negara-negara Teluk, dan memperburuk cabaran tenaga global. "Kami tidak menghadapi senario yang sama seperti dalam perang haram di Iraq," kata Sanchez. "Kami menghadapi sesuatu yang jauh lebih buruk, dengan kesan yang jauh lebih luas dan mendalam." Beliau mengkritik kerajaan 2003 yang diketuai Perdana Menteri ketika itu Jose Maria Aznar kerana menyokong pencerobohan Iraq yang diketuai AS dan kemudiannya mengerahkan tentera Sepanyol ke negara itu. "Kami berkata tidak kepada pengulangan kesilapan masa lalu; kami berkata tidak kepada berpura-pura sebagai demokrasi, yang sebenarnya adalah keserakahan dan pengiraan politik," kata Sanchez. "Ringkasnya, kami berkata tidak kepada perang." Sanchez menyatakan bahawa Iran lebih besar daripada gabungan Jerman, Perancis, dan Itali dari segi wilayah dan mempunyai keupayaan ketenteraan yang ketara, termasuk peluru berpandu balistik jarak jauh. Beliau berkata Tehran telah menghabiskan dekad-dekad untuk membina pertahanannya, merujuk kepada penubuhan Republik Islam selepas revolusi 1979. Memberi amaran tentang kesan ekonomi, Sanchez berkata: "Perang ini adalah kesilapan besar yang kosnya kami tidak terima dan tidak sanggup membayar." Beliau menyebut bahawa kerajaan minggu lepas meluluskan pakej €5 bilion untuk melindungi isi rumah Sepanyol. Sepanyol adalah antara negara-negara EU yang paling terbuka dalam menentang perang. Madrid telah menarik duta besarnya dari Israel dan menurunkan hubungan diplomatik. Pendirian itu juga telah merenggangkan hubungan dengan Washington. Sepanyol telah menolak untuk membenarkan AS menggunakan pangkalan tentera bersama untuk operasi yang berkaitan dengan konflik, dengan alasan kedaulatan. Ini mendorong kritikan daripada Presiden Donald Trump, yang telah mengancam tindakan perdagangan dan menyebut kegagalan Madrid untuk memenuhi sasaran perbelanjaan pertahanan 5% NATO. Walaupun terdapat retorik, Menteri Luar Negeri Sepanyol Jose Manuel Albares berkata awal bulan ini bahawa hubungan dua hala kekal "normal."Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Amid a complex environment of mounting external pressures and internal challenges, China continued to advance high-quality development, with the overall economy maintaining stable performance and achieving steady progress. With stable economic growth, corporate demand for commercial space has increased. Coupled with accelerated urbanization and the development of new business districts, demand for commercial properties has continued to rise, supporting the growth of commercial property management and leasing activities. In addition, the Chinese government has introduced a series of favourable policies for the commercial real estate sector, focusing on inventory digestion and optimization of industry planning, thereby providing further support to the property management and leasing industry.The Group’s managed properties mainly comprise commercial assets. Despite macroeconomic conditions and market competition, tenancy arrangements, lease agreements and occupancy rates remained stable in 2025. However, rental levels for newly signed leases were lower than in previous periods. To mitigate the pressure arising from rental adjustments, the Group will continue to enhance customer satisfaction by incorporating value-added services into new lease agreements, including property maintenance and upkeep, facilities management and community event planning.The Group’s existing properties are primarily located in Chengdu, Sichuan and Kunming, Yunnan—two key regional cities—and comprise three commercial buildings: Everbright Financial Center, Everbright International Mansion and Ming Chang Building. Benefiting from their prime locations and high-quality facilities, these properties have attracted a sizable number of state-owned enterprises and large institutions, providing a solid foundation for the Group’s leasing business. In recent years, the Group has successfully introduced tenants from emerging sectors such as software and technology, while also offering digitalised services to tenants. Looking ahead, the Group will continue to promote diversified business development and strive to attract more high-quality commercial tenants.In addition, the further escalation of the situation in the Middle East in March 2026 has led to rising energy prices, heightened inflation expectations and slower economic growth, all of which are core factors affecting overseas investment decisions. Accordingly, the Group will carefully reassess its asset allocation and regional risks with respect to its overseas investment plans. Despite the current significant volatility in the global economy, the Group will adhere to the principle of prudent operation, flexibly seize investment windows, and ensure the safety of capital operations.The Group continues to leverage technology to advance smart property management, enhance operational efficiency and elevate the customer experience. By strengthening digitalisation and refined management capabilities, the Group aims to further improve service quality and customer satisfaction.By fully leveraging the synergy with its parent company, China Everbright Group, while actively developing diversified value-added services to broaden its revenue mix and enhance brand influence. As the industry undergoes transformation and upgrading, the Group remains committed to prudent operations, a strong focus on risk management and internal controls, agile responses to macroeconomic and policy developments, continuous optimisation of its asset portfolio, further strengthening of its resilience against market uncertainties, and also actively explore new development opportunities to create greater value for the shareholders.About Everbright Grand China Assets LimitedEverbright Grand China Assets Limited is engaged in the businesses of property leasing and the provision of property management services under China Everbright Group.

Pembuat ChatGPT tutup aplikasi teks-ke-video yang tular

Pembuat ChatGPT tutup aplikasi teks-ke-video yang tular

(SeaPRwire) - Pengumuman ini dibuat hanya enam bulan selepas OpenAI melancarkan aplikasi Sora yang berdiri sendiri, dan sebelum IPO yang berpotensi Pengeluar ChatGPT, OpenAI, telah mengumumkan bahawa ia akan menutup aplikasi Soranya, yang menjadi tular musim luruh lepas sebagai platform untuk berkongsi video pendek yang dijana AI tetapi juga menimbulkan kebimbangan mengenai deepfake yang realistik. Dalam kenyataan ringkas pada X pada hari Rabu, OpenAI berkata ia “mengucapkan selamat tinggal kepada aplikasi Sora,” tanpa memberi sebab. “Kepada semua yang mencipta dengan Sora, berkongsi, dan membina komuniti di sekelilingnya: terima kasih,” tulis syarikat itu. “Apa yang anda cipta dengan Sora adalah bermakna, dan kami tahu berita ini mengecewakan.” OpenAI pertama kali melancarkan Sora pada akhir 2024. Alat itu mendapat perhatian arus perdana selepas pelancaran model generasi keduanya dan aplikasi yang berdiri sendiri pada September lepas. Aplikasi itu dengan cepat menduduki carta Foto dan Video iOS, apabila pengguna mencipta klip tular dari angka sejarah fotorealistik hingga gabungan budaya pop sureal. OpenAI sebelum ini tidak menunjukkan sebarang tanda ia sedang berusaha untuk menutup Sora. Pada Disember, ia malah mengumumkan perjanjian $1 bilion yang kini dibatalkan dengan Disney untuk membawa watak dari francais seperti Marvel dan Star Wars ke platform itu. Bagaimanapun, Sora menghadapi tentangan yang semakin meningkat mengenai deepfake, maklumat palsu, dan penggunaan tidak sah imej selebriti dan bahan hak cipta. Kumpulan pengguna, ahli akademik, dan tokoh industri mengingatkan risiko termasuk imej tanpa keizinan dan hakisan pekerjaan kreatif. OpenAI terpaksa mengehadkan gambaran AI tokoh awam seperti Michael Jackson dan Martin Luther King Jr. berikutan tekanan dari estet dan kesatuan, termasuk guild pelakon AS SAG-AFTRA. Seorang jurucakap Disney berkata syarikat itu kini akan mengakhiri perkongsiannya dengan OpenAI. “Memandangkan bidang AI yang masih baru berkembang pesat, kami menghormati keputusan OpenAI untuk keluar dari perniagaan penjanaan video dan mengalihkan keutamaannya,” kata jurucakap itu dalam kenyataan bertulis kepada media. “Kami akan terus meneroka teknologi AI yang menghormati IP dan hak pencipta.” Sementara itu, penutupan Sora juga berlaku sebelum IPO berpotensi OpenAI, yang dikatakan boleh berlaku pada tahun ini. Penganalisis melihat langkah itu sebagai peralihan pemotongan kos, memandangkan penjanaan video AI memerlukan kuasa pengkomputeran yang mahal yang mana OpenAI dilaporkan telah berjuang untuk mencari model perniagaan yang mampan. Laporan menunjukkan keutamaan dalaman sedang beralih ke bidang yang lebih komersial seperti AI “rakan sekerja” dan robotik.

Hungary Tidak Menghiraukan Kritikan EU Berhubung Hubungannya dengan Rusia dan China

Hungary Tidak Menghiraukan Kritikan EU Berhubung Hubungannya dengan Rusia dan China

(SeaPRwire) - Budapest tidak akan menjejaskan kepentingan kebangsaan mereka di bawah tekanan dari Brussels, kata Menteri Luar Negeri Peter Szijjarto Menteri Luar Negeri Hungary Peter Szijjarto telah memberitahu ketua dasar luar EU Kaja Kallas bahawa Budapest akan mengekalkan hubungan dengan Rusia dan China walaupun terdapat penentangan dari Brussels, kata juru bicara kerajaan. Pada Isnin, Perdana Menteri Hungary Viktor Orban memerintahkan siasatan ke atas tuduhan pendengaran telefon Szijjarto oleh sekurang-kurangnya satu negara anggota EU. Langkah ini diikuti dakwaan oleh Washington Post dan Politico bahawa Szijjarto telah menghubungi rakan sejawatan Rusia beliau, Sergey Lavrov, semasa rehat mesyuarat EU untuk memberinya “laporan langsung tentang perkara yang telah dibincangkan.” Szijjarto menafikan dakwaan tersebut, menggambarkannya sebagai “pembohongan dan berita palsu.” Skandal ini meletus hanya beberapa minggu sebelum pilihan raya parlimen di Hungary, dengan ketua pembangkang, Peter Magyar, mengeksploitasinya untuk menuduh diplomat itu “menghakis kepentingan Hungary dan Eropah.” Magyar mengancam untuk memasukkan Szijjarto ke penjara seumur hidup jika parti Tisza beliau memenangi undian pada 12 April. Dalam catatan di X pada Rabu, Zoltan Kovacs, juru bicara antarabangsa kerajaan, berkata bahawa menteri luar negeri telah menjalankan perbincangan dengan Kallas dan menyampaikan kepada beliau bahawa “Hungary akan terus terlibat dengan rakan kongsi global – dari AS ke Türkiye, Serbia, Rusia, China, dan lain-lain – kerana keputusan ini mempengaruhi kerjasama tenaga, keselamatan, dan ekonomi kita.” “Kita tidak akan menyerahkan kepentingan kebangsaan, walaupun terdapat campur tangan perisikan asing yang sangat serius dalam pilihan raya Hungary – dengan penglibatan Brussels,” kata Szijjarto seperti yang dipetik oleh juru bicara. Menurut Kovacs, menteri luar negeri memberitahu Kallas bahawa pendengaran telefonnya, yang menjadi mungkin selepas Szabolcs Panyi, wartawan Hungary yang mempunyai hubungan dengan Tisza, menyerahkan butiran kenalan beliau kepada pegawai keselamatan EU, adalah “bahagian daripada operasi yang bertujuan untuk mempengaruhi pilihan raya.” “Biarlah mereka yang menuduh kita sebagai pro-Rusia atau pengintip, yang bersedia membayar tiga kali ganda lebih untuk gas dan elektrik daripada hari ini,” kata Szijjarto seperti yang dipetik oleh juru bicara. “Tenaga Rusia yang terjangkau” adalah sebab utama kos utiliti yang rendah di Hungary, tambah menteri itu. Budapest telah mendakwa berulang kali bahawa Brussels mahu melihat kerajaan baru yang pro-EU berkuasa di Hungary. Orban telah bergaduh dengan Brussels mengenai pelbagai isu dalam beberapa tahun kebelakangan ini, termasuk penentangannya terhadap bantuan ketenteraan EU kepada Ukraine, larangan propaganda LGBT, dan penolakan untuk menerima pendatang bukan Eropah.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Lithium Measurement MR-Technology Provider NanoNord Expands Business with DLE Leader ElectraLith, Following Danish State Visit to Australia

Lithium Measurement MR-Technology Provider NanoNord Expands Business with DLE Leader ElectraLith, Following Danish State Visit to Australia

AALBORG, DENMARK AND MELBOURNE, AU, Mar 25, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The North Jutland technology company NanoNord has, in connection with the Royal Couple's state visit to Australia, secured an order for additional measurement equipment valued at between 160k - 240k AUD from the Australian deeptech pioneer ElectraLith. The order underscores the growing international potential for Danish measurement technology in the green transition.NanoNord was part of the business delegation during the state visit and seized the opportunity to strengthen its business with both existing and new customers in Australia. It is not the first time the Danish Royal Family has been close to NanoNord - the company was originally officially inaugurated by a then-young Crown Prince Frederik.Danish Technology Measures Lithium in Real TimeNanoNord's flagship technology, Tveskaeg, is an MR-based measurement instrument that enables precise real-time measurement of lithium and a range of other elements. The technology is wireless, uses neither chemicals nor disposable materials, and requires minimal calibration and maintenance - making it robust, green, and operationally reliable.ElectraLith uses Tveskaeg instruments as a central part of their groundbreaking DLE-R technology for lithium extraction. DLE (Direct Lithium Extraction) is a new and far more sustainable method for extracting lithium - a critical metal in the batteries powering the green transition. The full potential of the collaboration is up to DKK 10 million over the coming years, as ElectraLith rolls out its technology globally.The two companies connected in Melbourne during the Danish Industry reception 'An Evening in the Name of Business, Sport and Danish Dynamite,' and further strengthened ties during a meeting at ElectraLith's headquarters following the conclusion of the official business delegation.A Happy Customer on the Other Side of the Globe"Tveskaeg is an essential part of our DLE-R system and we are delighted with our partnership with Martin and the NanoNord team. Each DLE-R unit will include a Tveskaeg system to measure lithium and the order of additional units highlights its importance to our operations, particularly as we prepare for rapid global deployment to meet burgeoning demand lithium.Our existing two systems perform flawlessly and intuitively - so much so that our team has named them Forky and Hilda (after King Sweyn ‘Forkbeard' Tveskaeg and his wife). This is our second major order, in what we expect to be many."- Charlie McGill, CEO, ElectraLith"There is nothing better than visiting a customer on the other side of the globe and seeing our technology in use with happy customers like Charlie and his team. Our talented employees back at Skjernvej in Aalborg deserve the credit for the technology simply working and the customers being happy. That we can also bring home an order for additional instruments naturally makes me extra pleased."- Martin Mindorf, CCO, NanoNord"It is a great honour to be part of the historic state visit to Australia, and we are honoured by the attention from especially H.M. the Queen on this trip. The Queen quickly understood the potential of the technology in Australia and asked curiously about how Tveskaeg is used in connection with lithium extraction. NanoNord and ElectraLith are a great example of how our countries can work together, and there is great potential out here, particularly for the extraction of metals that are critical for the green transition. Beyond ElectraLith, we also have several exciting customers and prospects that we need to come back for."- Martin Mindorf, CCO, NanoNordAbout ElectraLithElectraLith is an American deeptech pioneer developing DLE-R - a proprietary electrochemical technology for lithium extraction and refining. The technology produces battery-grade lithium hydroxide or carbonate without water, chemicals, or waste, and can be powered by renewable energy.In December 2024, the company closed a materially oversubscribed Series A round of approximately USD 17 million with investors including Rio Tinto, Chevron, Marathon Petroleum, and In-Q-Tel. In 2026, ElectraLith was selected a Top Innovator by the World Economic Forum and has pilot projects planned in Australia, the United Kingdom, and Argentina.About NanoNordNanoNord was founded in 2001 by inventor Ole Nørgaard Jensen, who previously sold the Bluetooth pioneer company Digianswer to Motorola. The company develops and manufactures MR-based measurement equipment under the name Tveskaeg, used for applications including sodium measurement in food, lithium measurement in the mining industry, and nitrogen and phosphorus measurement in agriculture. Customers include global names such as Kraft-Heinz, Orkla, and Imerys. In the other industries, such as the food industry, NanoNord equipment eliminates the need for silver nitrate titration, and in several European countries, Tveskaeg technology is currently being tested for agricultural applications, where it has the potential to optimise the use of slurry, resulting in less groundwater pollution and better utilisation of nutrients.NanoNord is foundation- and family-owned, with the Lauritzen Foundation as a major investor, and continues to be led by founder Ole Nørgaard Jensen as CEO. In Australia, NanoNord is represented during the state visit by Martin Nørgaard Mindorf, CCO, the next generation of the family.Contact information:Martin MindorfCCOmm@nanonord.dk+4596341590Charlie McGillCEOcharles.mcgill@electralith.comSOURCE: NanoNord Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Adyton Reports 6.60g/t Au, 2.44% Cu and 39.8g/t Ag Within 164m @ 0.82g/t AuEq Including 53m at 1.60g/t AuEq Within 164m at 0.82g/t AuEq from the Northeastern Extension Target, Feni Island

Adyton Reports 6.60g/t Au, 2.44% Cu and 39.8g/t Ag Within 164m @ 0.82g/t AuEq Including 53m at 1.60g/t AuEq Within 164m at 0.82g/t AuEq from the Northeastern Extension Target, Feni Island

Brisbane, Australia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - March 25, 2026) - Adyton Resources Corporation (TSXV: ADY) ("Adyton" or the "Company") is pleased to announce positive expansionary drill results from its ongoing exploration program at the 100% owned Feni Island Gold-Copper Project, located on the productive Lihir Trend, Papua New Guinea (PNG). This announcement provides all the assay results for expansionary hole FDD017 (preliminary results were first reported on February 18, 2026).Hole FDD017 previously returned 53m @ 1.29g/t Au (gold only) and now, incorporating newly released copper assays, reports as 53m @ 1.60g/t AuEq representing an approximate 25% increase in reported grade. In addition, strong silver (Ag) and molybdenum (Mo) results further support the presence of a highly fertile epithermal-porphyry at Kabang.KEY HIGHLIGHTS OF DRILL HOLE FDD017Final assays for hole FDD017 have delivered another >100g*m intercept, further confirming strong Au-Cu mineralisation in the north-eastern extension targetHole FDD017 yielded:53m @ 1.29g/t Au, 0.26% Cu (1.60g/t AuEq; from 151m)within a broader interval of 164m at 0.63g/t Au, 0.15% Cu (0.82g/t AuEq for 134g*m; from 36m);including a higher-grade interval that returned: 5m @ 3.6g/t Au, 1.48% Cu (5.63g/t AuEq: from 198m)In addition to gold and copper, FDD017 also reports significant silver and molybdenum signalling strong system fertility for a large alkalic epithermal-porphyry system:5m @ 22.3g/t Ag (from 198m) and 6m @ 275ppm Mo (from 295m; peak Mo 579ppm)These final assay results for hole FDD017 confirm the North-Eastern zone at Kabang is strongly mineralised and prospective for gold and copper and continues to expand this zone beyond the current resource model.Ground based IP/MT survey progressing well; looking to deploy within 2Q 2026."FDD017 continues to exceed our expectations, delivering a meaningful uplift in grade with the inclusion of copper and highlighting the strength of the broader mineralized system at Feni. The increase to 1.60g/t AuEq over 53 metres, combined with strong silver and molybdenum values, reinforces our view that Kabang represents a highly fertile and evolving epithermal-porphyry system. Importantly, this hole further confirms the scale and continuity of mineralization in the north-eastern extension, which remains open and continues to grow beyond the current resource footprint." said Tim Crossley, CEO.Adyton is looking forward to receiving additional assays from nearby drillholes within this zone and updating the market accordingly.SIGNIFICANT INTERCEPTSTable 1 shows the Significant Intercepts for gold and copper assay results received to date (new assays this release for FDD017 only). Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4 show plan map and cross/long sections.

Of note, geochemical zonation appears to be vectoring towards a hydrothermal fluid source to the SW and to depth - exactly where the Danmagal porphyry is located. Furthermore, the Kabang drilling has encountered smaller apophyses of porphyry style intrusives and copper mineralization, and the current geological model suggests that Danmagal is the likely source of these.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7416/289847_b8a30a4df4e5ea26_005full.jpgFUTURE CATALYSTS & OUTLOOKAdyton is well-funded with C$16.75m in cash and cash equivalents, 100% earmarked for the Feni Au-Cu Project (plus G&A). The company is executing a systematic exploration strategy to grow the MRE and discover new deposits. Upcoming results and milestones include:Pending Assays:NNE: FDD018, FDD020, FDD023, FDD025, FDD029SSW: FDD019, FDD021, FDD024, FDD026, FDD028Ongoing Drilling: focused on expanding the MRE footprint at Kabang, and testing new targets.Advanced Geophysics: An approximately 5km by 5km ground-based IP & MT survey is being scoped to detect additional deposits on Feni Island and detect deeper prospective targets for drilling (see Figure 1).Spectral Mapping: Deployment of pXRF as well as spectral mineral mapping (1Q 2026) to generate a 3D alteration model for precise vectoring toward the core of the mineralized system with potential high Au-Cu grades to target for drilling.FERGUSSON ISLAND PROGRESS UPDATEEVIH, our 50/50 JV partner, continues to make good progress on the restart of the Wapolu Au Mine. Key areas of significant progress include purchasing and shipping of long lead items and processing plant components.
