Poland mengatakan tidak akan menghantar tentera ke Ukraine

December 13, 2024

(SeaPRwire) - Spekulasi semakin meningkat bahawa negara-negara Barat boleh menghantar pasukan tentera jika gencatan senjata dicapai antara Kiev dan Moscow Poland buat masa ini tidak mempunyai sebarang perancangan untuk menghantar tentera ke Ukraine, kata Perdana Menteri negara itu, Donald Tusk, ketika spekulasi semakin meningkat mengenai potensi penempatan pasukan pengaman oleh negara-negara Barat sekiranya gencatan senjata dicapai. Tusk membuat kenyataan itu pada hari Khamis semasa sidang akhbar bersama Presiden Perancis Emmanuel Macron, yang berada di Warsaw dalam lawatan rasmi. Sebagai salah satu penyokong Ukraine yang paling kuat, Poland bakal memegang jawatan presiden Majlis EU bulan depan. “Untuk menamatkan spekulasi tentang potensi kehadiran negara ini atau negara itu di Ukraine selepas mencapai gencatan senjata... keputusan mengenai Poland akan dibuat di Warsaw dan hanya di Warsaw,” kata Tusk. “Buat masa ini, kami tidak merancang tindakan sedemikian,” tegasnya. Kenyataan itu susulan pelbagai laporan media yang mencadangkan Perancis dan UK telah mempertimbangkan untuk mengerahkan tentera mereka ke Ukraine. Pasukan itu dilaporkan sepatutnya bertindak sebagai pengaman untuk memantau gencatan senjata sekiranya Moscow dan Kiev terlibat dalam rundingan. Topik ini juga telah dibangkitkan oleh kepimpinan Jerman, namun Canselor Olaf Scholz telah menyatakan bahawa penempatan tentera negaranya ke Ukraine adalah “mustahil” sebelum “gencatan senjata sebenar” diwujudkan. Awal bulan ini, seorang pegawai kanan NATO yang tidak dinamakan, yang bercakap kepada saluran berita yang dibiayai kerajaan Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, mencadangkan bahawa matlamat sebenar penempatan itu adalah untuk memastikan bahawa ahli-ahli NATO Eropah masih mempunyai suara dalam penyelesaian konflik Ukraine selepas Presiden Amerika Syarikat yang dipilih Donald Trump memegang jawatan pada Januari. Tusk mengakui bahawa isu menghantar tentera dalam konteks gencatan senjata atau perjanjian damai telah dibangkitkan dalam pertemuan satu lawan satu beliau dengan Macron, memberitahu wartawan “Kami telah membincangkannya.” Kedua-dua Macron dan Tusk berkata terpulang kepada rakyat Ukraine untuk memutuskan bila rundingan damai boleh bermula. Presiden Perancis itu mengesahkan kepada media bahawa perbincangan dengan Tusk telah menumpukan kepada Ukraine dan “hari selepas” perang, tanpa memberikan sebarang butiran lanjut. Menurut laporan pada hari Rabu dalam akhbar Poland Rzeczpospolita yang memetik sumber diplomatik, Macron dalam perjalanan ke Warsaw untuk membincangkan dengan Tusk idea untuk menghantar pasukan pengaman seramai 40,000 orang yang terdiri daripada tentera dari negara-negara asing. Rusia telah berulang kali menolak untuk membekukan konflik itu, menekankan bahawa semua matlamat operasi ketenteraannya, termasuk kenetralan Ukraine, demiliterisasi, dan penyahnazian, mesti dipenuhi. Moscow menegaskan bahawa sebarang penyelesaian hanya mungkin jika Ukraine menarik balik tenteranya dari wilayah Rusia, termasuk wilayah Ukraine terdahulu, memastikan hak-hak penduduknya yang berbahasa Rusia, dan mematuhi prinsip kenetralan.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

EU Luaskan Zon Sempadan Terbuka “`

December 13, 2024

(SeaPRwire) - Majlis Eropah telah menyatakan bahawa Bulgaria dan Romania akan menjadi sebahagian daripada kawasan Schengen pada bulan Januari. Majlis Eropah telah mengesahkan bahawa ia akan menghapuskan kawalan sempadan darat dengan Bulgaria dan Romania pada bulan hadapan, menjadikan kedua-dua negara itu sebagai ahli penuh kawasan perjalanan bebas Schengen blok tersebut. Kemasukan mereka ke zon itu, yang ditangguhkan disebabkan kebimbangan mengenai imigresen haram, akan berlaku 18 tahun selepas Sofia dan Bucharest menyertai EU. Pemeriksaan sempadan darat antara negara-negara tersebut dan negara-negara Schengen yang lain, antara Bulgaria dan Greece, dan Romania dan Hungary masing-masing, akan dihapuskan bermula 1 Januari, kata Majlis Eropah dalam satu kenyataan pada hari Khamis, sambil memuji “saat bersejarah” itu. “Langkah ini akan memberi manfaat bukan sahaja kepada rakyat Bulgaria dan Romania, malah kepada seluruh EU,” demikian disampaikan oleh pengerusi Hungary bagi blok tersebut. Perdana Menteri Romania, Marcel Ciolacu, telah menyatakan bahawa “keahlian Schengen telah menjadi objektif strategik bagi negara kita,” dan bahawa Bucharest akan “terus bertindak secara bertanggungjawab untuk melindungi dan mengukuhkan sempadan luar EU” bagi menguruskan penghijrahan haram. Kedua-dua negara itu, kedua-duanya ahli NATO, menyertai EU pada tahun 2007, tetapi kemasukan mereka ke zon Schengen ditangguhkan sehingga beberapa isu, termasuk rasuah, diselesaikan. Proses itu ditangguhkan berikutan krisis pelarian Eropah pada tahun 2015. Austria telah menyekat percubaan Bulgaria dan Romania untuk menyertai zon Schengen pada tahun 2022, dengan alasan bahawa terlalu ramai pelarian telah sampai ke negara itu melalui laluan Balkan Barat. Kedua-dua negara Balkan itu berada di laluan utama untuk pemindahan senjata haram serta pengedaran dadah dan pemerdagangan manusia, kata Reuters. Pada bulan Mac, Austria bersetuju dengan kemasukan separa Bulgaria dan Romania ke zon tersebut; pemeriksaan sempadan udara dan maritim telah dihapuskan. Walau bagaimanapun, sekatan darat masih berkuat kuasa. Menteri Dalam Negeri Austria, Gerhard Karner, berkata pada bulan November bahawa Vienna telah berjaya mencapai peningkatan yang ketara dalam perlindungan sempadan, dan bilangan pendatang haram yang tiba melalui Romania dan Bulgaria “telah menurun dengan mendadak.” Majlis Eropah telah memutuskan pada 10 Disember bahawa kedua-dua negara itu memenuhi syarat yang diperlukan untuk kemasukan penuh ke Schengen. Ditubuhkan pada tahun 1985, zon Schengen merupakan kawasan terbesar di dunia tanpa kawalan sempadan dalaman. Ia terdiri daripada 29 ahli – 25 daripada 27 negara anggota Kesatuan Eropah serta Switzerland, Norway, Iceland dan Liechtenstein. Romania baru-baru ini menjadi tumpuan apabila Mahkamah Perlembagaan negara itu membatalkan keputusan pusingan pertama pilihan raya presidennya. Undian yang diadakan pada 1 Disember itu menyaksikan calon bebas Calin Georgescu, pengkritik NATO dan EU, menewaskan calon liberal kiri, Elena Lasconi. Keputusan itu dibatalkan disebabkan “ketidakpatuhan” dan berikutan tuduhan bahawa Rusia telah membantu kempen Georgescu. Moscow menolak dakwaan itu sebagai “sama sekali tidak berasas.” Pusingan pertama akan diadakan semula pada tarikh yang akan diumumkan kelak.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Kenyataan Peningkatan Perbelanjaan NATO Satu Isyarat Kepada Trump – FT

December 13, 2024

(SeaPRwire) - Peningkatan sebanyak 50% dalam peruntukan sasaran bagi belanjawan ketenteraan menjelang 2030 mungkin akan diluluskan Jun depan, menurut sumber-sumber yang memberitahu akhbar tersebut. Ahli-ahli NATO sedang mengadakan rundingan mengenai pelaksanaan peningkatan mendadak dalam perbelanjaan pertahanan sebagai sebahagian daripada semakan sasaran blok tersebut, lapor Financial Times (FT) pada hari Khamis. Peningkatan yang dicadangkan akan memberikan tindak balas positif terhadap kritikan terdahulu Presiden Amerika Syarikat yang dipilih Donald Trump terhadap ahli-ahli blok tersebut, menurut sumber FT. Ahli-ahli blok yang diketuai Amerika Syarikat pada masa kini diminta untuk membelanjakan sekurang-kurangnya 2% daripada Keluaran Dalam Negara Kasar (KDNK) mereka untuk ketenteraan. Penanda aras ini sebahagian besarnya diabaikan oleh ahli-ahli blok tetapi dalam keadaan ketegangan yang semakin meningkat dengan Rusia, bilangan mereka yang mematuhi telah meningkat dengan ketara. Menurut anggaran yang dikeluarkan oleh NATO pada bulan Jun, hanya lapan daripada 32 ahlinya, termasuk Kanada, Itali, dan Sepanyol, kini ketinggalan dalam memenuhi obligasi mereka. Amerika Syarikat akan membelanjakan 3.38% daripada KDNKnya tahun ini untuk pertahanan, di belakang Poland dan Estonia sahaja, menurut semakan tersebut, manakala paras median ialah 2.11%. Semasa mesyuarat tahunan mereka di The Hague Jun depan, pemimpin-pemimpin NATO boleh meningkatkan sasaran jangka pendek kepada 2.5%, dengan penanda aras 3% ditetapkan untuk tahun 2030, lapor FT, memetik empat orang yang biasa dengan perbincangan tersebut. Perbincangan sulit mengenai idea ini bermula minggu lalu tetapi boleh gagal, kata sumber-sumber tersebut. Perbincangan itu didorong oleh pemilihan semula Donald Trump pada bulan November, menurut laporan itu. Komitmen untuk perbelanjaan minimum 3% ke atas projek ketenteraan juga akan menjadi “isyarat yang baik kepada Amerika Syarikat dan Trump,” kata seorang pegawai Jerman kepada akhbar British itu. Semasa penggal pertama beliau, dari 2017 hingga 2021, Trump menuduh ahli-ahli NATO Eropah sebagai percuma, kerana kegagalan mereka untuk membelanjakan wang yang cukup untuk pertahanan. Beliau sejak itu mendakwa telah mendorong sekutu untuk meningkatkan bahagian belanjawan negara mereka yang diperuntukkan untuk ketenteraan. Ucapan yang dibuat oleh Menteri Pertahanan Itali Guido Crosetto minggu lalu seolah-olah mencerminkan perbincangan di kalangan negara-negara NATO. Bercakap kepada agensi berita ANSA, beliau berkata negaranya “akan terpaksa mencapai 2%, dan mungkin juga 3%” dan bahawa Trump akan “pasti mempercepatkan” masa peningkatan tersebut. Moscow menganggap NATO sebagai organisasi yang bermusuhan yang pengembangannya di Eropah menimbulkan ancaman keselamatan negara yang besar kepada Rusia. Niat yang dinyatakan untuk memberikan keahlian kepada Ukraine dan peningkatan bantuan ketenteraan kepada Kiev adalah antara sebab utama bagi peningkatan konflik Ukraine kepada peperangan tembakan pada tahun 2022, menurut pegawai Rusia.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Veto PBB Bukan ‘Lesen untuk Bunuh Awam’ – Utusan Rusia “`

December 13, 2024

(SeaPRwire) - Vassily Nebenzia telah mengutuk tindakan AS untuk menyekat resolusi Majlis Keselamatan baru-baru ini mengenai gencatan senjata di Gaza AS tidak pernah memahami dan telah menyalahgunakan hak veto di Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu untuk membolehkan “jentera perang Israel” membunuh rakyat Palestin, kata Wakil Tetap Rusia ke PBB, Vassily Nebenzia. Perhimpunan Agung PBB telah meluluskan satu resolusi pada hari Rabu yang menuntut gencatan senjata segera di Gaza. Undian itu dibuat tiga minggu selepas AS menggunakan veto terhadap usul yang berbunyi sama di Majlis Keselamatan PBB. Resolusi Perhimpunan Agung tidak tertakluk kepada veto dan tidak mengikat, tidak seperti resolusi Majlis Keselamatan. “Hak veto bukanlah dicipta oleh bapa pengasas PBB untuk memberi lesen kepada rakan mereka untuk membunuh orang awam, tetapi ia direka sebagai alat untuk memastikan keputusan Majlis Keselamatan adalah seimbang,” kata Nebenzia dalam ucapannya kepada Perhimpunan pada hari Rabu. “Malangnya, AS tidak pernah menyedari perkara itu, dan menggunakan instrumen ini untuk memberi ruang kepada jentera perang Israel,” tambahnya. Perhimpunan Agung menuntut “gencatan senjata segera, tanpa syarat dan kekal” di Gaza, meluluskan dokumen tersebut dengan 158 undi menyokong berbanding sembilan undi menentang, dengan 13 undi berkecuali. Israel dan AS antara negara yang mengundi menentang usul tersebut. Pada 20 November, AS, ahli tetap Majlis Keselamatan, telah menyekat draf resolusi yang serupa yang menuntut “gencatan senjata segera dan tanpa syarat” di wilayah yang diduduki, dan “pembebasan segera dan tanpa syarat semua tebusan.” Dokumen itu mendapat 14 undi menyokong. Menurut sistem pengundian Majlis Keselamatan PBB, bagi sesuatu resolusi untuk diluluskan, ia mesti mendapat sekurang-kurangnya sembilan undi menyokong, dan tiada undi menentang. Wakil AS, Duta Robert Wood, berkata pada masa itu bahawa Washington tidak dapat menyokong gencatan senjata melainkan ia dikaitkan dengan pembebasan tebusan yang ditahan di Gaza oleh Hamas dan kumpulan militan lain. Resolusi Majlis Keselamatan adalah “mangsa terkini kepentingan geopolitik yang mementingkan diri sendiri dan sempit Amerika Syarikat,” dakwa Nebenzia. Veto pada November menunjukkan bahawa pentadbiran Demokrat Presiden AS yang keluar, Joe Biden, telah berpihak kepada “keganasan, tidak berperikemanusiaan dan impuniti sepenuhnya,” katanya. “Jika anda sekutu rapat Amerika Syarikat, anda tidak mempunyai undang-undang atau sekatan untuk dipatuhi, dan obligasi di bawah undang-undang antarabangsa hanyalah khayalan.” Hampir 45,000 rakyat Palestin telah terkorban di Gaza oleh tentera Israel sejak Oktober 2023, menurut pegawai tempatan. Israel menegaskan bahawa operasi di Gaza akan diteruskan sehingga semua tebusan dibebaskan dan ancaman terhadap negara Yahudi yang ditimbulkan oleh Hamas dan kumpulan gabungannya dihapuskan. Perang bermula pada 7 Oktober 2023, apabila kumpulan militan melancarkan serangan mengejut ke atas bandar-bandar Israel, membunuh kira-kira 1,200 orang dan menculik lebih 250 orang. Menurut pegawai Israel, kira-kira 100 tebusan masih ditawan.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Zuckerberg beri Trump $1 juta “`

December 13, 2024

(SeaPRwire) - Meta menderma wang itu kepada tabung perasmian Trump dalam apa yang kelihatan sebagai usaha untuk menjalin hubungan positif selepas ketegangan pada masa lalu Meta Platforms telah menderma $1 juta kepada tabung perasmian Presiden terpilih Donald Trump sebagai sebahagian daripada usaha Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Mark Zuckerberg untuk memperbaiki hubungannya yang tegang dengan presiden baharu itu. Seorang jurucakap Meta mengesahkan derma itu, yang pada mulanya dilaporkan oleh Wall Street Journal. Langkah ini menandakan satu perubahan baharu bagi gergasi teknologi itu, yang tidak membuat sebarang derma sedemikian semasa dua kepresidenan sebelumnya. Trump dan Zuckerberg telah makan malam di resort Mar-a-Lago minggu lepas. Dalam satu panggilan akhbar baru-baru ini, presiden hal ehwal global Meta, Nick Clegg, berkata Zuckerberg mahu memainkan “peranan aktif” dalam keputusan dasar teknologi pentadbiran AS. Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif itu berhasrat untuk terlibat dalam perdebatan mengenai mengekalkan kepimpinan Amerika dalam teknologi, terutamanya berkaitan dengan kecerdasan buatan, kata Clegg. Meta memiliki Facebook dan Instagram. Trump menggunakan platform ini secara meluas semasa penggal pertama beliau sehingga akaunnya digantung berikutan rusuhan 6 Januari di Capitol AS pada tahun 2021. Meta mengharamkan akaunnya kerana bimbang beliau akan menghasut lagi keganasan dengan menafikan kemenangan pilihan raya Biden. Akaun Trump telah dipulihkan pada tahun 2023. Walau bagaimanapun, Trump terus meluahkan rasa tidak puas hati terhadap Zuckerberg. Pada bulan Mac, beliau merujuk kepada Meta sebagai “musuh rakyat.” Beliau kemudian mencadangkan agar Zuckerberg dipenjarakan kerana didakwa campur tangan dalam pilihan raya. Dalam usaha untuk memperbaiki hubungan, Zuckerberg telah secara terbuka menghubungi Trump. Beliau memuji reaksi presiden terpilih terhadap percubaan pembunuhan di perhimpunan Pennsylvania pada bulan Julai sebagai “badass.” Zuckerberg juga memanggil Trump pada musim panas ini untuk meminta maaf kerana melabelkan gambarnya dengan semakan fakta yang salah. Tiada had ke atas derma kepada jawatankuasa Trump. Ia berstruktur sebagai bukan untung politik untuk tujuan cukai. Walau bagaimanapun, sumbangan melebihi $200 mesti didedahkan kepada Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya Persekutuan. Jawatankuasa perasmian pertama Trump telah mengumpul $107 juta pada tahun 2016 dan 2017.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

MTT Sports Unveils Road Map for Its World-Class E-Sports Tournament Platform

December 13, 2024

Tortola, Virgin Islands – December 13, 2024 – (SeaPRwire) – MTT Sports is proud to unveil the road map for its world-class e-sports tournament platform. MTT Sports is a rising e-sports tournament platform aiming to establish a world-class e-sports brand and push Multi-Table Tournaments (MTT) as an official Olympic event. As Bitcoin surpasses the $100,000 milestone, the market is abuzz with one pressing question: where will the next “BTC” come from? Many believe the next major cryptocurrency could emerge from a groundbreaking Web3 application – one that addresses a fundamental market need or resolves a longstanding issue. Recently, several Web3 projects have surfaced, incorporating these principles into their development. Among them, MTT Sports made a quiet yet impactful debut at the “Token2049” conference held in Singapore this past September, quickly capturing attention. Unlike most gaming platforms, MTT Sports does not feature any cash deposit mechanisms, offering all tournaments completely free of charge. This not only lowers the entry barrier for players but also fulfills a long-standing demand for free-to-play tournaments in the market. MTT Sports provides a wide variety of tournament formats, including Mining Tournaments, Amateur Tournaments, Daily Tournaments, Masters Tournaments, and Weekly Tournaments. Currently, the platform is hosting 100 consecutive Weekly Tournaments, each offering 1 Bitcoin as a prize – completely free to enter. The combination of free tournaments, no-cost mining, and substantial prize pools has created a platform poised to attract a massive user base. This broad user adoption, in turn, lays the foundation for a robust token economy with significant growth potential. Addressing the Trust Crisis in the Gaming Industry The gaming industry has long struggled with issues of platform manipulation and third-party cheating tools. MTT Sports addresses these concerns head-on. By offering free tournaments, the platform eliminates the incentive for manipulation. Furthermore, leveraging blockchain technology ensures that all game data is recorded on-chain, enhancing transparency and fairness. To combat bot-based cheating, MTT Sports employs a combination of blockchain technology, random number generation (RNG) systems, and facial recognition technology. Players can even participate in the RNG process and review match records post-game to verify fairness. In doing so, MTT Sports introduces an entirely new paradigm: a free-to-play competitive gaming platform backed by transparency and fairness – something the industry has never seen before. Unlocking Token Value The platform’s token, MTT Token, shows significant potential, supported by its rapidly growing user base and carefully designed economic model. MTT Token follows a single-token fixed supply model, with a maximum cap of 2.1 billion tokens. A burn mechanism reduces the circulating supply over time, fostering deflationary pressure and potentially increasing token value. Notably, MTT Sports’ free tournament structure sidesteps potential regulatory concerns associated with token trading, further enhancing its appeal. As outlined in the MTT Sports whitepaper, 40% of the total token supply is reserved as tournament rewards to incentivize player participation and competition, while 10% is allocated for validator mining. This thoughtful distribution not only ensures token utility but also supports the sustainable growth of the MTT ecosystem. The emergence of the next “BTC” won’t rely solely on hype or unsustainable models. Instead, its value will stem from addressing real market needs and building a strong user ecosystem.

Fosun Bolsters Core Business with Two Key Asset Privatizations

December 13, 2024

HONG KONG, Dec 13, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - On the evening of 10 December, Fosun Tourism Group (FTG) announced on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange its plan to repurchase shares at a price of HK$7.8 per share. This price represents a 111% premium over the closing price of the day before the last trading day. This privatization will raise FTG’s market value to HK$10.5 billion, and the announcement swiftly captured widespread attention.The market generally perceives this move as part of Fosun’s strategy to focus on its core businesses and consolidate resources to support its core industries with established advantages. In June, Fosun Pharma announced its plan to privatize its biopharmaceutical subsidiary, Shanghai Henlius, through a merger.Within a year, with two key subsidiaries announced for privatization, what strategy is Fosun pursuing? Analysts suggest that “These two subsidiaries are high-quality assets of Fosun, and their privatization reflects Fosun’s commitment to strengthening its focus on core businesses with established advantages. This move also indicates that Fosun has ample cash flow, enabling it to pursue sustainable growth and make flexible adjustments.”Recently, Fosun has been active in its core sectors, such as tourism and pharmaceuticals. The company recently co-organized a biopharmaceutical innovation forum and signed agreements with several high-profile institutions. It also shipped its independently-developed drug, HANQUYOU, to the U.S. and expanded Club Med into the Greater Bay Area. These actions demonstrate Fosun’s intention to focus on its core businesses, building momentum for high-quality growth.Focusing on asset-light operations to create long-term value through a “retreat to advance” strategy in the tourism sectorSince the trading halt of FTG on 27 November, speculation about its privatization has circulated widely in the market. The announcement on 10 December confirmed FTG’s privatization, with investors noting that the privatization is a win-win choice.According to public information, FTG has been a core subsidiary within Fosun’s Happiness business segment since its establishment. In the first half of 2024, it reported a business volume of RMB10.65 billion, with an adjusted EBITDA of RMB2.09 billion and a profit attributable to equity holders of the company of RMB320 million, reflecting a 20% increase compared to the same period in 2023, excluding the one-off gain on disposal of resorts.In recent years, FTG has faced challenges due to global macroeconomic environment, trends in the tourism industry, and the overall performance of the Hong Kong stock market. Since its listing, the company’s share price has not reflected its true value, and trading volumes have been low, limiting its financing capacity. The advantages of being a listed company have not been fully realized, while maintaining its listing status has incurred additional costs. Completing the privatization will not only resolve liquidity issues but also enhance strategic flexibility and focus on long-term sustainable development.As a flagship brand of FTG, Club Med has recently achieved a new breakthrough. On 29 November, Shenzhen, CITIC, and Fosun signed a cooperation framework agreement to launch Club Med at Jinsha Bay in Dapeng New District, a key area for tourism development in Shenzhen. This collaboration is viewed in the tourism industry as a powerful alliance, combining high-quality resources.Club Med Joyview, the product line set to debut in Jinsha Bay, is designed specifically for the Chinese market, focusing on urban short-distance vacations. It has already seen success in locations such as Qiandao Lake in Zhejiang and Heilongtan in Sichuan. Dapeng New District holds high hopes for the project, believing that the establishment of a Club Med resort in Jinsha Bay will “fill a gap in high-end family resorts in Shenzhen and enhance the international profile and tourism appeal of both Shenzhen and Dapeng New District.”Analysts noted that Fosun is increasingly strengthening its asset-light strategy in the tourism sector. By leveraging strong intellectual properties and operational capabilities, Fosun has been accelerating partnerships with local governments and state-owned enterprises to seize promising projects. In addition to launching Club Med in Jinsha Bay, the recent signing of the second phase of the Taicang Alps Resort and the launch of the ULTRAMED Hainan are also prime examples of this asset-light approach.“At first glance, Fosun’s move towards privatization may seem like a ‘retreat’. However, the clear strategic direction and the steady advancement of asset-light projects indicate that the company is actually ‘retreating to advance’. In an uncertain market cycle, this approach maximizes strategic flexibility, allowing a focus on long-term goals and sustainable development.”Strengthening the pharmaceutical sector and embracing integrated innovation with a global perspectiveIn addition to the tourism sector, pharmaceuticals continue to be a key pillar of Fosun’s business profile, with the company making significant strides in this area recently.On 2-3 December, Fosun co-organized the first “Greater Bay Area (GBA) Star” Biopharmaceutical Original Innovation Forum in Shenzhen. Just two weeks prior, it co-organized another forum themed on “Original Innovation” in Shanghai.By co-organizing two high-profile industry forums within a month, Fosun has demonstrated its leadership and influence in the biopharmaceutical field. Fosun also signed strategic cooperation agreements with Fudan University, Shanghai University, the Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Ruijin Hospital, among others, to jointly promote original innovation.Guo Guangchang, Chairman of Fosun International, said at the forum, “Good innovation must start from demand. In the biopharmaceutical sector, this means putting ‘patients first’. Additionally, innovation should maintain a ‘global perspective’, always embracing an open mindset and adhering to a win-win cooperation.”While driving innovation in the industry, Fosun has also made important breakthroughs in broaden its global market reach. On 29 November, the first batch of HANQUYOU, a trastuzumab biosimilar independently developed and manufactured by Shanghai Henlius, was shipped to the U.S.HANQUYOU is the first China-developed monoclonal antibody biosimilar approved in China, the EU, and the U.S. To date, it has been approved in 50 countries and regions, benefiting over 220,000 HER2-positive breast and gastric cancer patients globally. According to Shanghai Henlius, approximately 6.5 million units of HANQUYOU have been shipped globally since its commercialization in 2020. In 2023 alone, HANQUYOU contributed over RMB2.7 billion in sales revenue.Industry expert believes that successfully entering the U.S. market will significantly enhance the growth trajectory of HANQUYOU and lay a solid foundation for the overseas expansion of Shanghai Henlius’ products. “The reasoning is simple: by breaking into the toughest market, the company gains confidence when approaching other countries and regions.”After more than a decade of development, Shanghai Henlius has built a diversified and robust product pipeline encompassing over 50 molecules, covering areas such as oncology, autoimmune diseases, and ophthalmology. Currently, 6 products have been approved for marketing in China, 3 have been approved for marketing in overseas markets, and 24 indications have received approval, and 4 applications have been accepted by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in the EU. In addition to HANQUYOU, products such as HANSIZHUANG, HANLIKANG, HANDAYUAN, and HANBEITAI maintain leading positions in their respective markets.Notably, in June, Fosun Pharma announced its plans to privatize its subsidiary, Shanghai Henlius, through a merger. The proposed purchase price is HK$24.6 per share, representing a premium of 36.67% over the closing price on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on the undisturbed date, and a premium of 52.04% over the average closing price based on the daily closing prices of H Shares as quoted on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for the 30 trading days immediately prior to and including the undisturbed date. The total cash consideration shall not exceed HK$5.407 billion. Following this announcement, Fosun Pharma’s share price surged significantly.The industry generally views this privatization as a way for Shanghai Henlius to implement its long-term strategy more flexibly, which will help avoid the pressures of market expectations and stock price volatility associated with being publicly listed. This move also allows for a fresh start, enabling the company to explore new development opportunities through asset restructuring and industry adjustments. Once privatized, Shanghai Henlius’ core capabilities and long-term value will be further realized, thereby enhancing Fosun’s competitive edge in the pharmaceutical sector.Strong financial position and ample cash flow recognized by domestic and international institutionsFrom a financial perspective, Fosun’s recent series of strategic moves reflects its solid financial standing and ample cash flow, enabling it to pursue various strategies, including privatization.As of 30 June 2024, the company’s cash, bank balances and term deposits reached RMB109.55 billion, representing an increase of approximately RMB17.1 billion since the end of 2023.Recently, S&P and securities firms such as CITIC, have released reports highly recognizing Fosun’s focus on its core businesses in the household consumption sector, its optimization of asset structure, and its successful U.S. dollar note issuance to broaden its funding channels. Several securities firms have assigned Fosun a “Buy” rating.S&P believes Fosun has adequate liquidity buffer to meet its debt maturities obligation over the next two years and expects Fosun to continue divesting its non-core assets, leading to a steady decline in its debt. Furthermore, as offshore subsidiaries reach maturity, Fosun International’s dividend receipts are expected to enhance significantly. Therefore, S&P maintained a “stable” rating outlook on Fosun International.CITIC Securities noted that since 2020, Fosun has focused on developing strategically core businesses with market leadership while optimizing its asset structure and financial position through the divestment of non-strategy and non-core assets. As the company deepens its global operations, enhances business synergies, and improves its technological innovation capabilities, it is poised to unlock long-term growth potential.Analysts expressed that with strong financial backing, Fosun is continuously enhancing its competitiveness by focusing on its core sectors and exploring new growth opportunities, thereby further releasing its long-term value.

While user-generated content (UGC) dominates mobile platforms like YouTube and TikTok in Southeast Asia, premium streaming options like SVOD and Freemium retain significant scale. The Premium AVOD market in APAC (excluding China) is forecasted to grow at a 25% CAGR to over USD 8 billion over the next five years, with BVOD and SVOD as key drivers.

Jonathan emphasized how generative AI is lowering barriers for smaller companies to create impactful advertisements while Anson highlighted the importance of collaboration between brands and agencies. Both Anson and Jonathan encourage advertisers to embrace experimentation and collaboration with media partners.

As the industry is evolving with more consumers using smart TV, Jolene Sng, Head of Agency Development, Samsung Ads shared that around half of all smart TV shipments will be within APAC by 2027 and advertisers should understand their consumers to ensure effective ads on various platforms. The preference for large screen viewing experiences and the benefit of getting traditional TV advertising with a modern and cost-effective approach was once again mentioned by James Ross, CEO, Lightning International, and Bhuvnesh Kanwar, Vice President, Revenue and Head of FAST, KC Global Media.

Hong Kong’s exports set for 4% growth in 2025

December 13, 2024

HONG KONG, Dec 12, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Hong Kong’s exports will grow by 4% in 2025, according to new figures released today by Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) Research. The forecast, which forms part of the HKTDC’s annual Export Outlook, will see Hong Kong’s export levels continue on the upward trajectory maintained throughout 2024.In the last quarter every year, HKTDC Research announces an export forecast for the upcoming year, based on a basket of factors including global, regional and local economic performance.Strong demand in electronics, ASEAN and MainlandAccording to the Export Outlook 2025, electronics enjoyed a 13.5% year-on-year uptick in the first 10 months of the year. Over the coming 12 months, many of the factors that underpinned the sector’s success in 2024 will remain very much in play. Most notably, demand is expected to stay consistently strong among the global business community for AI-enabled systems.Irina Fan, Director of HKTDC Research, said: “Hong Kong’s rise in export levels in 2025 is likely to be continuously led by the electronics sector. At the same time, consumer sales are expected to be bolstered by the launch of a new generation of AI-integrated smartphones, PCs and other digital devices.”Potential US tariffs loomAlthough the underlying trend remains positive, the 2025 Export Outlook also highlighted a number of potential challenges that may impact Hong Kong’s export activity over the 12 months to come.These concerns stem from the well-publicised commitment on the part of President-Elect Donald Trump to impose massive tariff hikes on goods imported to the US from multiple sources, including Mexico, Canada and Mainland China. If this happens, it is widely expected that global trade flows will be adversely affected, while the process of trade diversion will be inevitably accelerated. In any such scenario, Hong Kong could reasonably expect its own export activity to be impacted.In addition to the general assumption among Hong Kong exporters that any knock-on consequences may only be minimal, however, there are also signs that Mainland China’s overall level of trade has not been unduly constricted by previous tariff arrangements. Indeed, even though two-thirds of Mainland Chinese exports to the US have been subject to tariffs since 2018, Mainland China’s global export share has actually risen from 12.7% six years ago to 14.1% in 2023. There is also some belief that President-Elect Trump’s proposed tariff regime actually represents more of an opening bid in a likely round of negotiations than an absolute certainty.Nevertheless, the threat of tariff rises, coupled with concern over growing geopolitical uncertainties elsewhere in the world, both played a part in the more cautious sentiments expressed by Hong Kong exporters as part of the 4Q24 HKTDC Export Confidence Index.This saw a fall in both the Current Performance Index (from 52.6 in 3Q24 to 50.3 in 4Q24) and the Expectation Index (from 51.4 to 50.0).Nicholas Fu, Senior Economist, said: “Exporters are particularly confident of their future prospects with regard to the ASEAN bloc and Mainland China with the respective Market Expectation Sub-Index readings well above 50 -- ASEAN (55.9) and Mainland China (52.7).”Contrasting fortunes for first and second half in 2025One clear indication from the overall level of caution recorded for 4Q24 is that exporters may try to hedge their bets in 2025 by accelerating their shipping schedules to mitigate the possible consequences of additional tariffs later in the year. The likely upshot of this is that activity will be far more intense in the first half of 2025, before decelerating sharply in the latter half.Irina Fan said: “While 2025 may be a year of two halves, characterised by differing levels of activity, we still see overall export growth as likely to be 4% after factoring in the concerns expressed by traders across a range of global economic uncertainties.”ReferencesHong Kong’s Export Outlook 2025: A Year of Two Halves https://research.hktdc.com/en/article/MTg2OTc1MzE0MAHKTDC Export Index 4Q24: Heightened Uncertainties Trigger Exporter Caution https://research.hktdc.com/en/article/MTg2OTc0OTM0MAHKTDC Research website: https://research.hktdc.com/en/Photo download: https://bit.ly/49ACrGDHKTDC Director of Research Irina Fan (left) and Senior Economist Nicholas Fu (right) announced Hong Kong’s Export Outlook 2025 and the HKTDC Export Confidence Index for the fourth quarter of 2024 at a press conference todayHKTDC Director of Research Irina FanHKTDC Senior Economist Nicholas FuMedia enquiriesPlease contact the HKTDC’s Communication and Public Affairs Department:Jane CheungTel: (852) 2584 4137Email: jane.mh.cheung@hktdc.orgAbout HKTDCThe Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) is a statutory body established in 1966 to promote, assist and develop Hong Kong's trade.

CIL Announces Breakthrough in Benzene Recovery, Addressing Cost, Environmental, and Supply Challenges for OLED Display Manufacturers

December 13, 2024

TEWKSBURY, MA, Dec 12, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Cambridge Isotope Laboratories, Inc. (CIL) has successfully developed and implemented a game-changing benzene-d6 recovery program, addressing major pain points for manufacturers of organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays. This innovative service reduces costs, minimizes environmental impact, and conserves scarce deuterium supplies.OLED display producers rely heavily on deuterated benzene (benzene-d6) as a critical starting material in their synthesis processes. However, this results in significant quantities of depleted benzene-d6, which is no longer usable but still retains considerable deuterium value. The disposal of such depleted material poses environmental challenges and substantial expenses.CIL's benzene-recovery program offers a transformative solution. Customers can now return their depleted benzene-d6 to CIL, where it undergoes a proprietary re-enrichment process to restore it to virgin material quality. This service is available at a significant cost savings compared to new benzene-d6, providing significant economic benefits.Beyond the financial advantages, the program has far-reaching environmental and supply implications. It eliminates the need for costly disposal, reduces the demand on increasingly scarce deuterium (derived from heavy water, D2O) and conserves this vital resource for its growing applications in science, medical diagnostics, pharmaceuticals, and semiconductor production.Recycling offers several sustainable benefits. It reduces pollution by releasing fewer chemicals into the environment. Recycling also saves energy, as reprocessing chemicals like benzene requires less energy than producing them from raw materials. This leads to lower greenhouse gas emissions, helping to combat climate change."This initiative underscores CIL's commitment to collaboration and innovation in addressing our customers' most pressing challenges," said Cliff Caldwell, CEO of CIL. "By recovering and re-enriching depleted benzene-d6, we create a circular economy approach that is both economically and environmentally sustainable. As the world's largest supplier of benzene-d6, we are uniquely positioned to deliver this groundbreaking service."CIL's benzene recovery program is the result of 12 months of dedicated development, expansion, and rigorous testing to ensure reliable capacity and uncompromising quality. CIL invites interested parties to inquire about the program's details and how to participate.About Cambridge Isotope Laboratories, Inc.CIL is the world's largest manufacturer and global supplier of stable isotopes and stable isotope-labeled compounds used in research, environmental, pharmaceutical, medical diagnostic, OLED, and industrial markets.

NEC Announces Interim Results from Phase 1 Clinical Trial of NECVAX-NEO1, an AI-Driven Personalized Oral Cancer Vaccine, at ESMO Immuno-Oncology Congress 2024

December 13, 2024

TOKYO, Dec 12, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - NEC Bio Therapeutics today presents 24-week promising interim results from an ongoing Phase 1 basket clinical trial of an orally administered cancer vaccine, NECVAX-NEO1, used in combination with checkpoint inhibitors (CPI) for treating patients with solid tumors. The findings are being presented in a poster at the ESMO Immuno-Oncology Congress in Geneva, Switzerland from December 11 to 13, 2024.NECVAX-NEO1 is a personalized bacteria-based oral DNA therapeutic vaccine, developed using AI prediction of the most immunogenic patient-specific neoepitopes. This vaccine is designed to activate the patient’s immune system, prompting a T-cell response that can precisely target and eliminate tumor cells based on the individual’s unique neoantigens.In the phase 1 study, 5 patients with melanoma, renal cell cancer, or head and neck cancer, who have been on CPI treatment for at least three months, were treated with NECVAX-NEO1. The safety run-in phase showed no treatment-related toxicities, allowing a dose increase. An ELISPOT response was induced by 68% of neoepitopes, with 40% of patients showing significant neoantigen-specific signals. After a 24-week treatment period, 80% of patients had a stable disease status, indicating a high disease control rate.On the results of the clinical study, Dr. Heinz Lubenau, CEO of NEC Bio Therapeutics, commented, "We are very excited about our first proof-of-concept data showing signs of promising immunogenicity and associated biomarker changes in patients. This is very encouraging, especially in light of new clinical trials currently ongoing at various locations in early and late-stage cancer patients. We are looking forward to generating more data for NECVAX-NEO1 as an additional treatment option for patients with difficult to treat cancer in the future."Motoo Nishihara, Corporate Executive Vice President and CTO of NEC Corporation, further commented, "We are certainly excited to present the progress of the NECVAX-NEO1 trial demonstrating safety and signs of immunogenicity. NECVAX-NEO1 is the first cancer vaccine asset to be clinically developed at NEC. This development ties in with the larger NEC mission of providing healthcare solutions globally using the state of art technologies developed in-house."Details of the poster:Poster title: Oral DNA vaccination targeting personalised neoantigens in immune checkpoint inhibitor treated solid tumor patients - Interim results.Authors: Domas Vaitiekus, E.

(Nasdaq:LOOP) (the "Company," "Loop," "we," "us," or "our"), a clean technology company whose mission is to accelerate a circular plastics economy by manufacturing 100% recycled polyethylene terephthalate ("PET") plastic and textile-to-textile ("T2T") polyester fiber, has secured €10 million through a convertible preferred security financing with Reed Societe Generale Group, a European investment firm majority-owned by the bank Societe Generale. Additionally, as part of the Reed Societe Generale Group transaction, Loop has finalized the sale of its first Infinite Loop™ technology license, generating an initial €10 million payment, with additional milestone-based payments from Reed Societe Generale Group to follow.The Reed Societe Generale Group transaction marks a pivotal step in Loop's commercialization strategy, enabling the deployment of its patented recycling technology across Europe and supporting capital investment in cost-effective manufacturing regions, including its joint venture in India with strategic partner Ester Industries Ltd. Proceeds from the financing and licensing deal will fund the Indian project and Loop's operational cash flow needs.Key terms of the €10 million convertible preferred security include:13% PIK dividend rate5-year termConvertible to Loop common stock at $4.75 per share or redeemable in cashThe technology license will be granted to a European partnership owned 90% by Reed Societe Generale Group and 10% by Loop, which is being formed to develop Infinite Loop™ manufacturing facilities in Europe. Loop retains the right to increase its equity stake in the European manufacturing facility, as well as potential future facilities, to a maximum of 50% for each facility. The license is to build one Infinite Loop™ manufacturing facility in Europe.

The previous condition precedent to closing relating to government funding is no longer applicable, although Loop expects that such additional financing will be available when the Indian project is approved to begin construction. Funding for both the financing and the initial payment for the technology license is expected within seven business days following the incorporation of the European partnership company.Julien Touati, CEO of Reed Societe Generale Group, commented: "Reducing dependency on virgin plastics is a global challenge. We are proud to support the rollout of Loop's technology in Europe by becoming the majority shareholder of this European partnership. This strategic investment allows us to leverage Loop's unique expertise and strong relationships with world-class brands committed to decarbonizing their supply chains. It fits perfectly with our ambition to actively contribute to the industrialization of Europe's circular economy, significantly reduce pollution, and foster sustainable growth.""The sale of our first technology license is a transformative milestone, proving the scalability and market readiness of our Infinite Loop™ technology," said Daniel Solomita, CEO and Founder of Loop Industries. "Our financing agreement and partnership with Reed Societe Generale Group propels us into a new phase of growth - expanding into Europe with strategic precision while advancing our flagship Infinite Loop™ project in India. These strategic steps align with our long-term investment vision and underscore our commitment to innovation, scalability, and delivering exceptional value for our shareholders.

Bercakap dengan Putin ‘mengecewakan’ – Scholz “`

December 12, 2024

(SeaPRwire) - Presiden Rusia enggan mengubah pendiriannya mengenai konflik Ukraine, tetapi Canselor Jerman bersedia untuk berunding dengannya lagi Canselor Jerman, Olaf Scholz, berkata penolakan Presiden Rusia, Vladimir Putin, untuk mengubah pendiriannya mengenai konflik Ukraine adalah “mengecewakan,” tetapi beliau bersedia untuk bercakap dengannya lagi. Pada bulan lepas, Scholz mengadakan panggilan telefon pertamanya dengan pemimpin Rusia itu sejak Disember 2022, di mana beliau mengulangi sokongan padu Berlin kepada Kiev. Canselor itu ditanya mengenai penglibatan diplomatiknya dengan Rusia semasa ulasan tahunan di RTL pada Rabu malam, di mana beliau muncul sebagai tetamu khas. ”Ia mengecewakan,” kata Scholz mengenai panggilan telefon dengan Putin, seperti yang dipetik oleh agensi berita dpa, “kerana beliau hanya terus mengulangi semua formula beliau.” Jika Scholz bercakap dengan Putin lagi, ia adalah untuk mengulangi tuntutan Berlin untuk pengunduran Rusia, walaupun Putin tidak mungkin mematuhinya, tambah canselor itu. Pemimpin Ukraine, Vladimir Zelensky mengkritik Scholz selepas dimaklumkan tentang panggilan dengan Putin. Beliau mendakwa bahawa canselor itu membuka “kotak Pandora,” memandangkan “lebih banyak perbualan” mungkin akan menyusul, sekali gus menjejaskan usaha Barat untuk mengasingkan Rusia. Kiev menegaskan kepada “kedamaian sebenar” dan bukan penyelesaian berasaskan kompromi, tambah Zelensky. Jurucakap Kremlin, Dmitry Peskov, menggambarkan perbualan itu sebagai terus terang, walaupun tidak berhasil, dan memuji Scholz kerana kesediaannya untuk bercakap terus dengan Putin. Presiden Rusia itu berkata panggilan itu tidak membawa “apa-apa yang baru bagi saya dan, saya percaya, baginya. Dia menyatakan pendiriannya dan saya menyatakan pendirian saya.” Kepimpinan Scholz kini dalam risiko, selepas gabungan tiga partinya runtuh pada awal November. Pada Rabu, beliau secara rasmi meminta undi percaya di parlimen, yang dijangka akan diadakan Isnin depan. Kecuali ahli parlimen membenarkan beliau kekal sebagai ketua kerajaan minoriti, yang menurut media adalah tidak mungkin, Jerman akan mengadakan pilihan raya persekutuan luar jangka tahun depan. Terdapat jangkaan meluas tentang perubahan dalam pendekatan Barat terhadap konflik Ukraine, selepas Presiden Amerika Syarikat yang dipilih, Donald Trump, memegang jawatan pada Januari. Beliau mendakwa semasa kempen bahawa beliau boleh menamatkan permusuhan “dalam 24 jam” jika diberi mandat oleh pengundi AS. Selepas memenangi penggal kedua pada awal November, Trump berkata beliau “mungkin” akan mengurangkan bantuan kepada Kiev. Moscow berkata penolakan Kiev untuk berunding menghalang kedamaian dan mendakwa bahawa selama tiga tahun Barat telah mendorong berterusan permusuhan “sehingga rakyat Ukraine yang terakhir.”Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Pengarah FBI Letak Jawatan

December 12, 2024

(SeaPRwire) - Christopher Wray telah memutuskan untuk meletakkan jawatan sebelum pelantikan Donald Trump Pengarah FBI, Christopher Wray, telah mengumumkan bahawa beliau akan meletakkan jawatan, selepas Presiden Amerika Syarikat yang dipilih, Donald Trump, menyatakan hasratnya untuk menggantikan beliau dengan Kash Patel. Wray membuat pengumuman itu di dewan bandar semua kakitangan pada hari Rabu. Trump mencalonkan Wray pada tahun 2017, selepas memecat pengarah ketika itu, James Comey, berhubung skandal ‘Russiagate’. Pemecatan Wray berlaku dua hari selepas Senator Chuck Grassley, seorang Republikan dari Iowa, menulis surat 11 muka surat yang menuduh beliau salah urus dan “kegagalan untuk mengawal FBI.” Awal bulan ini, Trump – yang dipilih untuk penggal kedua pada bulan November – mencalonkan Patel untuk mengetuai biro dalam pentadbiran akan datang. Parti Demokrat menentang langkah itu, dengan alasan bahawa Wray masih mempunyai beberapa tahun lagi dalam tempoh perkhidmatannya. Pengarah FBI boleh berkhidmat sehingga sepuluh tahun di bawah undang-undang yang diluluskan oleh Kongres selepas ketua pengasas biro, J. Edgar Hoover, meninggal dunia. Hoover bertanggungjawab ke atas FBI dan pendahulunya selama 48 tahun. Walaupun Wray adalah seorang Republikan berdaftar dan dilantik oleh Trump, presiden yang bakal masuk mengkritik kepatuhannya kepada pentadbiran Biden dalam tempoh empat tahun yang lalu. “Dia menceroboh rumah saya,” kata Trump dalam temu bual bersama NBC’s Meet the Press, merujuk kepada serbuan FBI ke atas estet Mar-a-Lago beliau di Florida pada tahun 2022. “Saya tidak boleh mengatakan saya gembira” tentang FBI, tambah Trump, memetik keterangan Wray di Kongres bahawa telinganya terkena serpihan bukannya peluru pembunuh pada bulan Julai lalu.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Rusia perlu menjadi peneraju dunia dalam AI – Putin “`

December 12, 2024

(SeaPRwire) - Teknologi ini dapat membantu dalam mencapai matlamat kebangsaan, menurut presiden Teknologi kecerdasan buatan (AI) sedang membentuk kehidupan seharian dan dijangka menjadi sumber penting untuk mencapai matlamat kebangsaan Rusia, kata Presiden Vladimir Putin. Ketua Rusia itu membuat kenyataan tersebut pada hari Rabu semasa berucap pada persidangan AI antarabangsa di Moscow. Menurut Putin, teknologi baharu itu semakin banyak memasuki semua sektor ekonomi dan sfera sosial negara dan telah mengubah industri sepenuhnya. “Teknologi kecerdasan buatan bertujuan untuk menjadi sumber terpenting untuk mencapai matlamat pembangunan kebangsaan,” kata Putin, sambil menambah teknologi itu dapat membantu mengukuhkan keupayaan pertahanan negara, pembangunan ekonomi dan sektor sosial yang berkualiti tinggi, pentadbiran awam, dan pertumbuhan inovasi. “Untuk menyelesaikan masalah ini dengan jayanya, Rusia mesti menjadi peneraju dunia bukan sahaja dalam penciptaan, tetapi juga dalam skala aplikasi dan penggunaan AI dalam semua bidang kehidupan kita tanpa pengecualian,” tegas presiden. Salah satu “syarat utama” untuk kedaulatan saintifik, teknologi dan ideologi negara adalah untuk mempunyai pembangunan sendiri dalam bidang AI, menurut Putin. Algoritma dan prinsip operasi AI ditentukan oleh manusia, yang menunjukkan nilai-nilai tertentu, budaya, tradisi, kepentingan kebangsaan, dan sebagainya, katanya. “Untuk menentukan masa depan, nasib Rusia, kita mesti mencipta teknologi sedemikian sendiri, secara bebas.” Syarikat-syarikat Rusia mengikut rentak penyelesaian teknologi terkini, secara aktif mengintegrasikan inovasi dan pencapaian ini ke dalam kerja mereka, kata Putin. Mereka akan terus mencipta produk dan perkhidmatan berdasarkan teknologi AI bukan sahaja untuk Rusia tetapi “untuk seluruh dunia.” Rusia akan terus bekerja dalam bidang teknologi AI dengan negara-negara yang bersedia bekerjasama, kata Putin, sambil menjelaskan bahawa Rusia harus mengambil bahagian setaraf dengan negara-negara lain dalam perlumbaan global untuk membangunkan teknologi baharu. Dalam hal ini, beliau mencadangkan mengadakan sesi strategik di Rusia mengenai masa depan AI untuk “berfikir bersama ke arah mana teknologi yang hebat ini akan berkembang lagi.” Presiden Rusia itu juga menilai kerja-kerja alat AI yang akan digunakan untuk sesi soal jawab beliau pada bulan ini, dengan mengatakan cara alat tersebut memproses banyak soalan untuk acara yang akan datang “melampaui semua jangkaan.” Minggu lalu, Kremlin menyatakan bahawa ia akan menggunakan alat GigaChat, yang dibangunkan oleh gergasi perbankan dan teknologi Rusia Sber, untuk menyusun soalan yang dikemukakan oleh penduduk Rusia kepada presiden. Tahun ini, sidang akhbar maraton akan diadakan pada 19 Disember.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Trump Perli ‘Bidenomics’

December 12, 2024

(SeaPRwire) - Presiden Amerika Syarikat yang dipilih telah membangkitkan isu pembiayaan untuk Ukraine, nepotisme, dan rasuah Presiden Amerika Syarikat yang dipilih, Donald Trump, telah mengejek agenda ekonomi pendahulunya, menggunakan meme yang melibatkan pembiayaan untuk Ukraine dan Hunter Biden yang baru sahaja diampunkan. Pada awal bulan ini, Presiden Joe Biden telah memberikan pengampunan penuh kepada anaknya untuk apa sahaja yang mungkin telah dilakukannya antara Januari 2014 dan Disember 2024. Kempen Trump menganggap keputusan itu sebagai contoh bagaimana kerajaan semasa telah menyalahgunakan sistem kehakiman. Pada Selasa malam, Trump telah berkongsi satu meme di platform Truth Social miliknya, yang menggambarkan bagaimana ‘Bidenomics’ berfungsi dalam praktiknya. Ia menunjukkan Biden berdiri di sebelah papan putih dengan senarai barang. “Anda membayar cukai,” senarai itu bermula. “Saya menghantarnya ke Ukraine. Mereka menghantarnya kembali kepada Hunter. Hunter memberikannya kepada saya. Ampunkan Hunter.” Hunter Biden telah dibayar sejumlah besar wang untuk menjadi ahli lembaga pengarah sebuah syarikat gas Ukraine semasa bapanya menjadi naib presiden dan orang penting dalam hubungan Washington dengan Kiev. Menurut kandungan komputer riba yang dilupakan oleh Biden junior di sebuah kedai pembaikan di Delaware, 10% daripada semua kontrak antarabangsa telah diberikan kepada “Big Guy,” yang secara meluas dianggap sebagai merujuk kepada bapanya. Biden secara rasminya mengalahkan Trump pada tahun 2020 dan memulakan rancangan yang bercita-cita tinggi untuk mencipta semula ekonomi AS selepas pandemik Covid-19 yang dinamakan oleh penasihatnya sebagai ‘Bidenomics’. Naib Presiden Kamala Harris, yang dicalonkan oleh Demokrat pada tahun ini, telah menghabiskan kempen dengan menegaskan bahawa ekonomi berada dalam keadaan baik dan bahawa ‘Bidenomics’ sedang berjaya. Pengundi Amerika nampaknya tidak bersetuju, memberikan kemenangan kepada Trump dalam kolej elektoral, undi popular, dan kesemua tujuh negeri medan pertempuran.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.
