Pemimpin pembangkang Jerman cadang ‘gerakkan’ simpanan peribadi

(SeaPRwire) - Friedrich Merz telah mengemukakan idea untuk meminjam simpanan warga untuk membiayai infrastruktur awam Seorang tokoh pembangkang kanan Jerman telah mencadangkan “memobilisasi” simpanan peribadi untuk membiayai infrastruktur awam. Friedrich Merz, calon bagi jawatan canselor dari gabungan konservatif yang terdiri daripada Kesatuan Demokrat Kristian (CDU) dan parti saudara Bavaria, Kesatuan Sosial Kristian (CSU), berhujah bahawa langkah sedemikian akan membantu Berlin mengelakkan daripada menambah lebih banyak hutang. Kementerian Hal Ehwal Ekonomi Jerman pada minggu lepas mengeluarkan ramalan yang menunjukkan KDNK menurun sebanyak 0.2% pada tahun 2024, penurunan yang ketara daripada pengembangan 0.3% yang diramalkan sebelum ini. Ini akan menandakan tahun kedua berturut-turut kemelesetan bagi kuasa ekonomi EU. Sektor perindustrian Jerman yang dihargai telah bergelut selama beberapa tahun kebelakangan ini, disebabkan oleh gabungan angin lawan, seperti permintaan yang lemah di pasaran eksport utama, kekurangan pekerja mahir, dan kesan buruk daripada tidak lagi menerima gas Rusia yang murah. Berucap kepada rakan sejawatnya yang konservatif semasa konvensyen parti di Augsburg pada Sabtu lepas, Merz menuduh kerajaan perikatan 'lampu isyarat' semasa telah mengumpulkan hutang yang besar. Menurut ahli politik itu, jika Berlin ingin memulakan semula ekonomi negara, ia tidak sepatutnya terhad kepada “hanya melihat kepada tabung awam” dan bercakap tentang pemansuhan “brek hutang.” Beliau percaya bahawa modal peribadi juga harus disediakan untuk tujuan ini. Merz menggesa penonton untuk membayangkan jika kerajaan boleh “memobilisasi” 10% daripada €2.8 bilion dari akaun peribadi “pada kadar yang munasabah” dan menyalurkan wang ini ke dalam infrastruktur awam. “Bukannya kita kekurangan modal - apa yang kita kekurangan ialah alat yang munasabah untuk memobilisasi modal ini dengan cara yang memberi manfaat kepada kebaikan bersama negara kita,” hujah Merz. Beliau meneruskan dengan mendakwa bahawa memandangkan “negara lain telah menunjukkan bahawa ia berkesan,” pendekatan ini sepatutnya berfungsi dengan baik untuk Jerman juga, dengan itu menyelamatkannya daripada menanggung lebih banyak hutang. Walau bagaimanapun, Merz tidak memberikan butiran mengenai bagaimana mekanisme itu akan berfungsi. Beliau juga menekankan pentingnya untuk mengukuhkan tentera Jerman, sambil menyokong sokongan berterusan untuk Ukraine. Jerman adalah penderma bantuan pertahanan kedua terbesar untuk Ukraine, telah menyediakan lebih daripada €10 bilion ($11.19 bilion) dalam peralatan dan senjata dari Januari 2022 hingga Jun 2024, menurut Institut Ekonomi Dunia Kiel. Selain itu, Berlin juga telah menyediakan Kiev dengan hampir $5 bilion dalam bantuan kemanusiaan dan kewangan dalam tempoh yang sama, anggaran kumpulan pemikir itu. Canselor Olaf Scholz telah mengakui bahawa ramai rakyat Jerman tidak gembira dengan bantuan berterusan kepada Ukraine. Parti pembangkang seperti Alternatif untuk Jerman (AfD) yang berhaluan kanan dan Perikatan Sahra Wagenknecht yang berhaluan kiri telah berulang kali mengecam penghantaran senjata Jerman ke zon konflik, serta sekatan ekonomi terhadap Rusia. Mereka berhujah bahawa dasar kerajaan semasa sedang menjejaskan ekonomi Jerman dan berpotensi membawa kepada peperangan besar-besaran antara NATO dan Rusia.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Jerman minta Israel tandatangani ‘klausa genosid’ – media

Jerman minta Israel tandatangani ‘klausa genosid’ – media

(SeaPRwire) - Menteri Luar Negeri Annalena Baerbock dan Menteri Ekonomi Robert Habeck dilaporkan telah “menghalang” penghantaran senjata ke negara Yahudi Jerman telah menolak untuk menghantar senjata ke Israel melainkan Jerusalem Barat memberikan jaminan bertulis bahawa senjata itu tidak akan digunakan untuk menyerang orang awam di Gaza, menurut laporan media yang dimiliki oleh penerbitan Axel Springer di Jerman. Berlin, yang tidak meluluskan penjualan senjata ke Israel sejak Mac, menghalang penjualan senjata walaupun menegaskan bahawa negara Yahudi itu tidak berada di bawah embargo senjata, menurut laporan majalah Politico pada hari Isnin, mengesahkan cerita yang diterbitkan pada hujung minggu oleh tabloid Jerman Bild. Menurut Bild, Menteri Luar Negeri Annalena Baerbock dan Menteri Ekonomi Robert Habeck adalah mereka yang “menghalang penghantaran baharu.” Para ahli politik berpangkat tinggi dari parti Hijau itu dilaporkan mahu Israel berjanji bahawa senjata itu tidak akan digunakan terhadap orang awam di Gaza. “Kerajaan Israel mesti memberi kerajaan Jerman jaminan bertulis bahawa eksport senjata dari Jerman tidak akan digunakan untuk pembunuhan beramai-ramai,” kata Bild, memetik sumbernya dalam kalangan kerajaan dan pertahanan. Jerusalem Barat dilaporkan telah memberikan jaminan yang diperlukan pada hari Khamis. Undang-undang Jerman melarang penghantaran senjata ke negara-negara di mana terdapat bahaya bahawa senjata itu mungkin digunakan terhadap orang awam. “Penghantaran senjata ke Israel adalah tentang pematuhan terhadap peraturan undang-undang kemanusiaan antarabangsa,” kata seorang yang mengetahui tentang perkara itu kepada Politico. “Alasan untuk meminta komitmen sedemikian adalah kerana mahkamah pentadbiran Jerman boleh menghentikannya jika tidak.” Pendedahan itu menimbulkan kritikan daripada pihak pembangkang dan Parti Demokrat Bebas yang memerintah, dengan beberapa ahli politik menyeru parti Hijau dan Canselor Olaf Scholz untuk “menjelaskan” keadaan dengan eksport senjata. “Scholz, sebagai pengerusi Majlis Keselamatan Persekutuan, juga bertanggungjawab di sini,” kata Friedrich Merz, ketua Kesatuan Demokrat Kristian, kepada Bild. Baerbock secara terbuka telah menyokong hak Israel untuk mempertahankan diri, tetapi menegaskan dalam ucapannya minggu lalu bahawa “undang-undang kemanusiaan antarabangsa dan hak Israel untuk wujud adalah tidak dapat dipisahkan.” Israel telah dituduh menyasarkan orang awam di Gaza tanpa memilih, di mana lebih daripada 42,000 rakyat Palestin telah terbunuh sejak pertempuran antara Hamas dan Israel meletus pada Oktober 2023. Angkatan Pertahanan Israel (IDF) telah menolak tuduhan melakukan pembunuhan beramai-ramai sebagai “tidak masuk akal,” dengan alasan bahawa Hamas menggunakan orang awam Palestin sebagai perisai manusia.

Fujitsu implements global launch of world’s first AI application to prevent quality degradation in 5G wireless networks

Fujitsu implements global launch of world’s first AI application to prevent quality degradation in 5G wireless networks

KAWASAKI, Japan, Oct 15, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Fujitsu today announced the development of an application that leverages AI technology to enhance mobile network communication quality, while achieving energy savings and optimizing network operations. This development is part of the Research and Development Project of the Enhanced Infrastructures for Post-5G Information and Communication Systems (hereafter NEDO-led project) (1) conducted by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO). Fujitsu, which has a successful track record of introducing radio unit (RU) products to the global market, will incorporate this technology into its O-RAN (2) compliant Service Management and Orchestration (SMO) (3) system, FUJITSU Network Virtuora Service Management and Orchestration. Fujitsu will implement a gradual global rollout of the technology to mobile network operators starting in November 2024 by leveraging the footprint it has already cultivated in RU.This application comprises three key technologies:An AI-powered technology that can estimate smartphone users’ quality of experience (QoE) on their networks in real time.A technology that detects early signs of increased communication traffic and proactively prevents network quality degradation.A technology that detects network quality degradation and redefines the area covered by peripheral base stations to maintain optimal quality.Fujitsu verified the effectiveness of these technologies in August 2024 using real commercial data from mobile network operators (4) under conditions closely resembling actual operating environments.This application will ensure a seamless and reliable connection for mobile network users, not only during normal operations but also during emergencies and periods of increased network traffic, ultimately enhancing user convenience, satisfaction, and safety in critical situations. For mobile network operators, the application will reduce operational costs and save power through optimized operations.BackgroundAs digital transformation (DX) accelerates globally, the adoption of 5G mobile networks is rapidly expanding as a key infrastructure component. Mobile network operators are expected to further enhance their capabilities, including ultra-low latency and simultaneous connectivity, while ensuring network quality at user and application levels. Furthermore, the RAN (Radio Access Network) domain is undergoing open and virtualized transformation based on the O-RAN concept, leading to anticipated reductions in total cost of ownership (TCO).The three technologies in this application operate on the RIC (5) deployed within the O-RAN compliant SMO, contributing to the intelligent automation and self-sufficiency of RAN.Development achievements1. Real-time QoE estimation and quality assurance using AIThis technology estimates QoE in real-time and automatically switches users to other base station network areas when QoE degradation is detected. It is a world-first, enabling the creation of AI models that can easily estimate QoE for individual applications by selecting feature values from statistical data (KPIs) calculated from high-speed packet analysis for 100 Gbps RAN traffic. This approach allows for flexible adaptation to various applications.By accurately understanding the QoE of each user and assigning the necessary resources, this technology ensures user convenience and satisfaction while simultaneously suppressing excessive resource allocation. This results in a 19% increase in the number of users that can be accommodated per base station (6).Figure 1: QoE estimation based on packet analysis2. Proactive base station activation/deactivation for quality maintenance and energy savingsFujitsu has developed a technology that utilizes AI to anticipate increased communication traffic and proactively activate previously dormant base stations to prevent degradation in user communication quality.Previously, energy savings were achieved by monitoring traffic in each area in real-time and putting unnecessary base stations into sleep mode. This world first technology goes a step further by detecting unusual increases in pedestrian traffic, such as those associated with local events, and predicting subsequent traffic increases at the grid level (7). This predictive technology has been proven to successfully activate base stations in advance without impacting user quality 99.8% of the time during the verification period.This enables pinpoint activation and deactivation of base stations based on traffic conditions, achieving a balance between maintaining QoE and saving energy when combined with the energy-saving application announced by Fujitsu in December 2023 (8).3. Detection of service quality degradation and area redesign for service quality maintenanceTraditional anomaly detection technologies for single cells (9) struggled to differentiate between simple load reductions and actual anomalies. Fujitsu's new technology addresses this by comparing traffic trends across surrounding cells using AI, achieving a fault detection accuracy rate of over 92%. This technology supports both supervised learning with limited fault data as well as unsupervised learning. By understanding the service impact including cell overlap, it is possible to make a judgement on which areas should be recovered first.When this anomaly detection technology identifies areas undergoing significant service impact, it utilizes a radio propagation prediction model that considers path loss (10) in the real field, in addition to the direction and load conditions of surrounding cells, to calculate the optimal tilt angle for surrounding cells. This minimizes the impact on service quality caused by faulty cells. As a result, recovery time from anomalies such as equipment failure, which previously took 24 hours, has been reduced to less than one hour, minimizing the impact on users.Figure 2: Service quality degradation detection and recoveryFuture PlansFujitsu will continue to contribute to the realization of a safer, more secure, and sustainable society by providing O-RAN products using AI-centric technologies for networks that support applications and services across industries.[1] NEDO-led project :Project name: Research and Development Project of the Enhanced Infrastructures for Post-5G Information and Communication Systems (JPNP20017) (Commissioned)Period: FY2021 - 2024Overview: Research and Development Project of the Enhanced Infrastructures for Post-5G Information and Communication Systems[2] O-RAN :O-RAN refers to a Radio Access Network (RAN) built based on open interface specifications developed by the O-RAN ALLIANCE.[3] Service Management and Orchestration (SMO) :In the O-RAN architecture, Service Management and Orchestration (SMO) defines a system that manages the operation, maintenance, and optimization of RAN, as well as its lifecycle.[4] Commercial data from mobile network operators :This refers to data collected by mobile network operators during their actual operations.

NEC C&C Foundation Awards 2024 C&C Prize

NEC C&C Foundation Awards 2024 C&C Prize

TOKYO, Oct 15, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The NEC C&C Foundation today announced that the 2024 C&C Prize will be awarded to two groups for their contributions to the development and implementation of large-capacity, wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical submarine cable systems, and to pioneering research of the Transformer deep learning model serving as the foundation of generative AI, which is used in various fields such as global internet, web applications, data science, and artificial intelligence, that support modern society. Dr. Shigeyuki Akiba, Dr. Masatoshi Suzuki and Dr. Itsuro Morita will represent Group A and Transformer team will represent Group B. Each recipient will be recognized with a certificate of merit and a plaque. Each group will also receive a cash award of ten million yen.The C&C Prize was established in 1985 and is awarded to distinguished persons in recognition of outstanding contributions to R&D activities and pioneering work related to the integration of computers and communications technologies and the social impact of developments in these fields. This year’s two recipient groups are outlined below.The prize ceremony and acceptance speeches will be held on Wednesday, November 27 from 15:00 at the ANA InterContinental Tokyo and will be streamed live to those who apply at the Foundation’s website.2024 C&C Prize RecipientsGroup ADr. Shigeyuki AkibaFormerly KDDI R&D Laboratories Inc., President and Chief Executive OfficerDr. Masatoshi SuzukiChitose Institute of Science and Technology, Vice-President, ProfessorWaseda University Graduate School, Faculty of Science and Engineering, Visiting ProfessorDr. Itsuro MoritaWaseda University, Faculty of Science and Engineering, ProfessorCitationFor contributions to the development and implementation of large-capacity, wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical submarine cable systemsAchievementInternational communications began in the latter half of the 19th century with the laying of a submarine cable providing one telegraph line. This was followed by the appearance of coaxial cables that expanded circuit capacity and that could also be used for making telephone calls. In the 1970s and 1980s, however, satellite communications having even larger circuit capacity became mainstream. Nevertheless, on entering the 1980s, optical fiber and semiconductor lasers came into practical use, and by exploiting the low-loss and broadband properties of optical fiber, large-capacity transmission became possible while decreasing the number of submarine repeaters and decreasing the cost of communications, all of which drove the adoption of optical submarine cables. As for transpacific cables, operation of the 3rd transpacific cable (TPC-3) using optical fiber (capacity per fiber: 280 Mbps) began operation in 1989, TPC-4 (capacity per fiber: 560 Mbps) began operation in 1992, and TPC-5 (capacity per fiber: 5 Gbps), which significantly increased transmission capacity with the introduction of an optical-amplifier-repeater transmission system, began operation in 1995. However, due to a phenomenon whereby the velocity of light waves propagating through optical fiber differs according to wavelength (called wavelength dispersion) and due to the nonlinearity of optical fiber, WDM signal waveforms become distorted, which greatly hindered the implementation of large-capacity optical submarine cable systems spanning a distance of 10,000 km. Against this background, it was KDDI engineers including Dr. Shigeyuki Akiba, Dr. Masatoshi Suzuki, and Dr. Itsuro Morita that were instrumental in increasing the capacity of optical submarine cable systems and upgrading WDM-based optical submarine cable systems in particular, thereby supporting the rapidly expanding demand for Internet communications.The technologies developed by Dr. Akiba, Dr. Suzuki, and Dr. Morita became essential to WDM optical submarine cables and came to be applied to many optical submarine cables from 1999 to 2016 covering a total system length of 206,000 km. These included transpacific (PC-1: 1999, Japan-US: 2001), transatlantic (TAT-14: 2001), and Asia-region (C2C: 2001, EAC: 2002) optical submarine cables as well as 1-Tbps-class transpacific optical submarine cables (TGN-Pacific: 2003, UNITY: 2010). These technologies made a major contribution to the deployment of a global broadband infrastructure supporting communication traffic that increased rapidly due to the spread of the Internet and expanded use of smartphones.Dr. Akiba, Dr. Suzuki, and Dr. Morita pioneered the research and development of technology for expanding the capacity of long-haul optical submarine cables particularly through optical-nonlinearity control. They played a major role in applying this technology to transpacific/transatlantic large-capacity optical submarine cables, which constitute major arteries handling approximately 99% of all international communications. These achievements have had huge ripple effects in academia and industry. They are remarkable on a global basis and have made great social contributions in the C&C (Computers and Communication) field. For these outstanding achievements, it is more than fitting that Dr. Akiba, Dr. Suzuki, and Dr. Morita receive the C&C Prize.Group BTransformer TeamMember:Eight authors of the paper "Attention Is All You Need"Ashish Vaswani - CEO, Essential AINoam Shazeer - VP, Gemini Technical Co-Lead, Google DeepmindNiki Parmar - Research scientist, essential AI, GoogleJakob Uszkoreit- InceptiveLlion Owen Jones - CTO, Sakana AIAidan Gomez - CEO, CohereLukasz Kaiser - Member of Technical Staff, OpenAIIllia Polosukhin - NEAR ProtocolCitationFor pioneering research of the Transformer deep learning model serving as the foundation of generative AIAchievementArtificial intelligence (AI) technology has been evolving remarkably in recent years and has come to deeply penetrate not only industrial fields but society as well. The appearance of generative AI, in particular, has sent shock waves throughout the world as AI possessing creativity. The third-generation AI boom arrived in the 2000s. Machine learning came into practical use, deep learning made its appearance, and the performance of AI improved in many fields including image recognition, natural language processing, and speech recognition using convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), and other models. In 2017, the innovative Transformer model that revamped conventional neural networks appeared achieving a level of performance greatly exceeding existing models. It is said that the present progress in AI could not have occurred without Transformer.Following the presentation of the paper, AI studies using Transformer architecture were announced one after another. In addition to high speed and high performance, Transformer features a significant improvement in accuracy as the scale of training data increases, which has also brought about scale-related competition in AI models. In 2018, OpenAI announced the initial version of its generative pre-trained transformer (GPT), a large language model, and has been releasing updated versions ever since. As AI that can carry on conversations like a human, the number of users of ChatGPT appearing in 2022 topped 100 million in less than three months after its release. In addition to being talked about as AI that can foster innovation in a variety of fields including business, work, education, medical care, and everyday life, it also gave rise to discussions on ethical matters. Open AI also announced DALL-E, an image generation system, and Whisper, a speech recognition model. In 2018, Google announced a natural language processing model called BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers), which was followed up by ViT (Vision Transformer) specializing in image recognition. Then, in 2023, it announced Gemini (formerly known as Bard), a generative artificial intelligence chatbot. These eight individuals who presented Transformer that changed the history of AI have since left Google. Seven of them have founded their own start-ups and all but one of these companies conduct business based on Transformer technology.Transformer not only broke through the limitations of what were advanced technologies at that time like RNN and LSTM but also enabled the seamless integration of diverse types of data in multimodal AI while greatly improving the capabilities of AI systems. Although deep learning gave rise to AI-based innovation from around 2010, Transformer can be called the second great innovation in the sense of revamping existing neural networks. The present spread of generative AI using Transformer as base technology and its impact on society has been huge, and in view of these achievements, these eight members of the Transformer team are deserving recipients of the C&C Prize.For additional information, please visit The NEC C&C Foundation website at: www.candc.or.jp/en/index.html About The NEC C&C FoundationThe NEC C&C Foundation is a non-profit organization established in March 1985 to foster further growth in the electronics industry by encouraging and supporting research and development activities and pioneering work related to the integration of computers and communications technologies, that is, C&C, and ultimately to contribute to the world economy and the enrichment of human life. The Foundation is funded by NEC Corporation.The Foundation currently has two main activities.

GA-ASI Completes Full-Scale Fatigue Test on MQ-9B for Second Lifetime

GA-ASI Completes Full-Scale Fatigue Test on MQ-9B for Second Lifetime

SAN DIEGO, CA, Oct 15, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - On Sept. 30, 2024, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) completed a major milestone with the full-scale fatigue testing of an MQ-9B Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA). The team completed the "second lifetime" of fatigue testing, which is equivalent to 80,000 operating hours and represents an important step in validating the design of the airframe system. The testing is part of the aircraft certification to NATO standard STANAG 4671, where the aircraft will ultimately be tested through three lifetimes, thereby proving the 40,000-hour lifetime of the airframe.The full-scale fatigue test simulates the aircraft's design service through the application of repeated structural loading on the assembled airframe. The testing identifies any potential structural deficiencies ahead of fleet usage and assists in developing inspection and maintenance schedules for the airframe. The results of the test will be used as part of the documentation for certification and will form the basis for in-service inspections of structural components.MQ-9B is GA-ASI's most advanced RPA and includes the SkyGuardian® and SeaGuardian® models as well as the new Protector RG Mk1 that is currently being delivered to the United Kingdom Royal Air Force (RAF)."Full-scale fatigue testing is an integral part of validating the airframe design and a key input for the certification of the airframe prior to entering service," said Chris Dusseault, vice president of MQ-9B in Europe. "The completion of the fatigue test builds confidence for our MQ-9B customers that the SkyGuardian/SeaGuardian meets the stringent design rigor and is mature at Entry into Service."The testing is the validation of years of design and analysis efforts. This is the second of three lifetimes of testing for the airframe. Two of the lifetimes simulate the operation of an aircraft under normal conditions, and the third has intentional damage inflicted on the airframe's critical components to demonstrate its resistance to operational damage that may occur over the lifetime of the air vehicle.Testing was conducted from Jan. 31, 2024, through Sept. 30, 2024, at Wichita State University's National Institute for Aviation Research in Wichita, Kansas. The airframe tested is a production airframe purpose-built to support the test campaign.In addition to the RAF, contracts have been signed for MQ-9B with Belgium, Canada, Japan, Taiwan and the U.S. Air Force in support of the Special Operations Command. The Japan Coast Guard is currently operating the SeaGuardian for maritime operations, and the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) selected SeaGuardian for its Medium-Altitude, Long-Endurance (MALE) RPA System Trial Operation Project.About GA-ASIGeneral Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc.

US Rate Cut and China Stimulus Ignite Fosun’s Surge

HONG KONG, Oct 15, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - As we enter the fourth quarter, the market buzzes with optimism. The U.S. Federal Reserve’s interest rate reduction, aimed at bolstering liquidity, has drawn Chinese mainland capital inflow into the Hong Kong stock market. Just before China’s National Day holiday, the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) unveiled a series of pivotal measures: a reserve requirement ratio cut, an interest rate reduction, and a decrease in existing mortgage rates. Analysts and commentators widely regard these moves as unprecedented since 2008. Notably, the PBOC’s injection of at least RMB 800 billion into the stock market represents a historic milestone.On 10 October, the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) made a significant move by introducing a swap facility, initially valued at RMB500 billion. This facility aims to bolster capital market development and further invigorate both the Hong Kong and A-share markets. Just two days later, on 12 October, Lan Fo’an, Minister of Finance of the People’s Republic of China, announced a forthcoming series of targeted incremental fiscal policy measures. These measures are designed to support high-quality economic development, with a focus on stabilizing growth, expanding domestic demand, and mitigating risks. As the economy stabilizes and corporate earnings improve, the overall market is poised for a new phase of growth.Interest rate cuts poised to register gains in Hong Kong’s stock marketThe U.S. Federal Reserve has implemented a 50-basis-point interest rate cut, the first in four years. According to the Fed’s projections, the federal funds rate is expected to reach 4.4% by year-end, falling within a target range of 4.25% to 4.5%. Looking ahead, the rate is anticipated to decrease further to 3.4% by 2025 and 2.9% by 2026. Market sentiment suggests that another 50-basis-point rate cut may occur this year, with expectations of a full 100-basis-point reduction next year.As the Federal Reserve initiates rate cuts, it will ease the capital outflows and stabilize currency fluctuations in countries beyond the United States. This policy shift also grants greater flexibility to central banks worldwide, including China, enabling them to tailor their monetary strategies to foster economic expansion and bolster stock market performance. In this evolving landscape, bonds emerge as an attractive option. As deposit rates are projected to gradually decrease during the rate-cutting cycle, investors can secure appealing fixed returns over the long term. Additionally, both stocks and bonds—particularly those with robust growth potential and stable fundamentals—are poised to attract significant interest among investors in the short term.Despite several major supportive measures introduced by the central government, the stock market experienced a pullback after the National Day holiday. Nevertheless, institutions like Morgan Stanley, HSBC, and CITIC have expressed confidence in the government’s unwavering dedication to economic stimulation. These institutions anticipate the gradual introduction of additional measures, amounting to trillions, with an aim at bolstering the economy. Market sentiment suggests that these economic stimulus measures will be moderate and sustained, recognizing that a steady rise in stock market plays a crucial role in driving economic growth and encouraging consumer spending.Given the government’s steadfast commitment to boosting consumption, Fosun International (00656), a leading global innovation-driven consumer group, remains undervalued for an extended period. It is poised to emerge as a frontrunner. Notably, the significant increase in Fosun International’s share price subsequent to earlier stimulus measures underscores its considerable growth potential. Successfully building industry leaders to strengthen core industrial advantagesSince 10 September, Fosun International’s stock price has steadily risen, resulting in an impressive cumulative increase of 58.46%. Notably, this increase surpasses the Hang Seng Index’s 34.26% increase during the same period. The recent surge in Fosun International’s share price is underpinned by the company’s solid fundamentals. Guo Guangchang, Chairman of Fosun International, emphasized during the interim results presentation that despite the challenging macro environment, Fosun International remains committed to its core business-focused strategy and continued to cultivate industry-leading companies and develop excellent products in advantageous sectors. So far, this strategy has yielded positive results.Recently, Fosun International strengthened its advantages in core industries such as pharmaceuticals, tourism, consumption, and insurance by focusing on its core businesses, garnering market optimism. During the National Day holiday, the tourism sector experienced a strong start, with the tourism-related stocks seeing significant growth. During the first week of October, Fosun Tourism Group’s (FTG) share price surged nearly 40%, reflecting the market’s high recognition of the company’s asset-light strategy and investors’ confidence in FTG’s growth potential. Currently, 85% of FTG’s resorts operate under an asset-light model, making it one of the few leading tourism companies in the domestic market with both an asset-light approach and global operational capabilities.Guo Guangchang mentioned on Weibo that the stock market’s rally before the holiday gave everyone a sense of financial comfort. The wealth effect of rising stocks has truly stimulated consumer demand and driven an increase in spending. Sales of the company’s Atlantis Sanya and Shede’s baijiu saw a rapid rise during the holiday. Taking Shede as an example, as a renowned Chinese liquor company, it carried out promotions across its entire product line during the National Day holiday. Several products showed significant year-on-year increases compared to last year’s sales. Among them, the high-end strategic product in the RMB1,000 price range, Collection Shede 10-Year Edition, saw a remarkable year-on-year sales growth of 384%. Crystal Shede experienced a 224% increase in sales, while the sales of T68 Tuopai Exceptional grew 80%, and the sales of Tuopai Qiujiu rose 69%.In addition to the improving tourism and consumer businesses, Fosun’s pharmaceutical and insurance businesses have also attracted positive market attention. As a leader in pharmaceutical innovation in China, Fosun Pharma has been optimizing its asset structure and accelerating cash inflow this year. It recently announced its plans to privatize its innovative drug platform, Shanghai Henlius, and to fully acquire the core cell therapy platform, Fosun Kite, with a view to focusing on its core innovative assets. Supported by favorable national measures and strong R&D and commercialization capabilities, Fosun Pharma has established itself as a leader in China’s innovative drug market. In the first half of the year, it generated over RMB3.7 billion in revenue from innovative drugs, with steady growth expected in the second half. During the National Day holiday, Fosun Pharma’s share price performed well and continued to increase. Since September, its share price has risen nearly 25%.Recently, Fitch, one of the leading international credit rating agencies, upgraded Fidelidade’s Insurer Financial Strength (IFS) Rating to “A+” from “A” and its Long-Term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) to “A” from “A-”, maintaining stable outlooks. This represents the highest ratings Fitch has granted to a Portuguese financial company. The upgrade confirms that strategies implemented by Fidelidade have consistently strengthened its financial stability and reflects the improvement in Fosun’s global operational capabilities. Fitch highlighted Fidelidade’s sound business profile, strong capitalization, robust financial performance and profitability, and low investment portfolio risk.USD888 million syndicated loan issuance demonstrates continued recognition of Fosun’s credit quality by domestic and international banksOn 30 September, Fosun International announced the closure of a sustainability-linked syndicated loan totaling USD888 million through greenshoe, one of the largest of its kind issued by Chinese private enterprises this year. It is worth mentioning that the loan is a three-year senior unsecured working capital loan and the participating banks include several leading banks from Greater China, the Asia-Pacific region, and Europe and the Americas. This reflects the continued recognition of the Group’s credit quality by both domestic and international banks. Fosun’s sound financing channels can lay a solid foundation for the company’s steady development.Recently,several securities firms have highlighted the effectiveness of Fosun International’s core business-focused strategy, with innovation and globalization driving healthy growth, while maintaining a declining leverage ratio and sound financials. Fosun has actively optimized its asset portfolio, consistently reduced leverage and strengthened cash reserves. As of 30 June 2024, the Group’s adjusted total debt-to-capital ratio was 50.2%, maintaining a downward trend since 2020. In June 2024, international rating agency S&P fully recognized the effectiveness of Fosun’s financial strategy and affirmed its rating outlook as “stable”.According to various research reports, as Fosun’s business becomes more focused and its financial indicators improve, its future business development and profitability are becoming more predictable. Notably, globalization, innovation, and its sound asset-light operational capabilities are poised to drive a new round of growth for Fosun.It is evident that benefiting from national measures, Fosun International and its subsidiaries have entered a new phase for potential valuation enhancement. The recent pullback in share prices could be an attractive buying opportunity for investors. Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Ketua wilayah di bekas jajahan ‘menolak’ raja British

Ketua wilayah di bekas jajahan ‘menolak’ raja British

(SeaPRwire) - Charles III dijangka mengunjungi Australia ketika sentimen republik meningkat Ketua enam negeri Australia akan menghilangkan resepsi untuk Raja Charles III ketika dia tiba di Down Under, sementara raja Britain mengatakan dia tidak akan menentang bekas koloni penjara itu mengisytiharkan dirinya sebagai republik. Walaupun Australia telah merdeka sepenuhnya sejak 1986, ketua negaranya yang bergelar masih ialah raja Britain. Rujukan tahun 1999 untuk mengisytiharkan republik gagal, sebahagiannya disebabkan oleh populariti Ratu Elizabeth II pada masa itu. Charles dijangka tiba di Australia lewat minggu ini. Pada hari Isnin, perdana menteri enam negeri persekutuan memaklumkan kepada Canberra bahawa mereka tidak dapat menghadiri majlis penerimaan untuk raja, memetik komitmen sebelumnya. “Kegagalan perdana menteri negeri untuk menghadiri majlis penerimaan di Canberra sama sekali tidak dapat dibela,” kata Bev McArthur, Ahli Parlimen Liberal dan ketua Liga Monarki Australia kepada BBC. Dia menuduh perdana menteri memakai “topi republik” dan terlibat dalam “politik berpandukan gerak isyarat” untuk menghina raja. Charles akan menjadi raja Britain kedua yang memerintah untuk membuat lawatan rasmi ke Australia, selepas ibunya, yang meninggal dunia pada 2022. Dengan kematian Ratu Elizabeth, Pergerakan Republik Australia (ARM) menghidupkan kembali kempen mereka untuk mengisytiharkan republik, dengan hujahan bahawa negara itu sepatutnya berdiri sama rata dengan negara-negara lain di seluruh dunia. Perdana Menteri Australia Anthony Albanese sebelum ini mengatakan bahawa negara itu “sepatutnya mempunyai seorang warga Australia sebagai ketua negara kita,” mencadangkan dia akan menyokong rujukan lain. Undian tahun 1999 menyaksikan 54.9% rakyat Australia mengundi untuk mengekalkan monarki. Minggu lalu, ARM menulis kepada Istana Buckingham untuk meminta pertemuan dengan raja. Walaupun Charles III dengan sopan menolak, setiausaha pribadinya mendedahkan bahawa raja tidak akan menghalang warga Australia dari memilih seorang presiden. “Baginda, sebagai raja berperlembagaan, bertindak atas nasihat menterinya dan oleh itu, sama ada Australia menjadi republik ialah suatu perkara yang perlu diputuskan oleh rakyat Australia,” tulis Dr. Nathan Ross kepada ARM, menurut Daily Mail. Ross juga menyatakan bahawa pandangan ARM “telah diambil kira dengan teliti” dan bahawa Charles mempunyai “cinta dan kasih sayang yang mendalam” terhadap Australia. Jemputan kumpulan itu “dengan sopan ditolak,” kata naib pengerusi ARM Nathan Hansford kepada Mail. Dia menambahkan bahawa rakyat Australia ialah “bangsa yang sangat pelbagai” sehingga banyak orang berasa ia tidak diwakili dengan betul oleh seorang raja. Terdapat 14 negara di seluruh dunia yang masih memandang raja Britain sebagai ketua negara mereka. Barbados ialah yang terbaru menyatakan dirinya sebagai republik, pada tahun 2021, tetapi memilih untuk terus berada dalam Komanwel dan mengekalkan hubungan yang mesra dengan London. Jamaica dijangka mengadakan rujukan tentang isu ini nanti tahun ini. Britain mula menetapkan Australia pada tahun 1788, apabila New South Wales ditubuhkan sebagai koloni hukuman. Koloni lain mengikuti, dan akhirnya menjadi Komanwel Australia pada tahun 1901. Australia kini terdiri daripada enam negeri: New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Australia Selatan, Australia Barat dan Tasmania, bersama dengan sepuluh wilayah persekutuan.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

To further promote the value of CTF Life in providing customers with personalised planning solutions, lifelong protection and diverse lifestyle experiences over the years, CTF Life also announced the launch of its MyWealth Savings Insurance Plan 2, which empowers customers with faster and higher projected returns, greater autonomy and greater flexibility in inheritance planning, helping customers embrace a fulfilling life.The celebration dinner was inaugurated by Brian Cheng, Executive Director and Group Co-Chief Executive Officer of NWS Holdings and Non-executive Director of CTF Life; Gilbert Ho, Executive Director and Group Co-Chief Executive Officer of NWS Holdings and Non-executive Director of CTF Life; and Man Kit Ip, Chief Executive Officer of CTF Life, along with the company’s management team. The highlight of the event was a performance by singer-songwriters Phil Lam and Cath Wong, while renowned artist Kelly Chen appeared as a guest performer.To further promote its brand awareness, CTF Life displayed its new company name on the rooftop LED billboard of COFCO Tower on Hong Kong Island and the large outdoor advertisement at the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club in Causeway Bay. To celebrate its 40th anniversary, the company also advertised on billboards on five major commercial buildings, including Far East Finance Centre, Harcourt House, Sing Ho Finance Building, Chinachem Century Tower and V Point.Man Kit Ip, Chief Executive Officer of CTF Life, said: “CTF Life is embarking on a new journey in 2024, proudly stepping into its 40th year. Over the years, we have overcome challenges and seized opportunities together with Hong Kong, achieving remarkable growth. Looking ahead, we will further strengthen our collaboration with the diverse conglomerate of the Chow Tai Fook Group, leveraging its robust financial strength and strategic investments across the globe to continue to expand our service network and optimise our products and services. Drawing on our roots in Hong Kong, we will extend our reach across China and other Asian markets, continually creating value beyond insurance for our target customers.”MyWealth Savings Insurance Plan 2 for Flexible Wealth ManagementTo celebrate its 40th anniversary and meet the financial needs of customers at different stages of life, CTF Life has launched MyWealth Savings Insurance Plan 2 (MyWealth 2), building on the success of its MyWealth Savings Insurance Plan (MyWealth 1). The new plan features the first-in-market1 “Wealth Booster Option” 2, which allows customers to change the amount components under the policy to help enhance the projected returns. The plan’s special-in-market1 “Wealth Accumulation Switching Options” 3 give customers greater autonomy to cater their investment preferences at different life stages. MyWealth 2 features “Dual Succession”, which allows unlimited changes of Insured4 and entitles the policy owner to assign up to two beneficiaries for legacy planning, ensuring the continuation of the policy and maximising the efficacy of wealth inheritance.Jarita Kwan, Chief Product Officer of CTF Life, said, “Based on the thoughtful features of MyWealth 1, CTF Life has launched MyWealth 2 to meet the financial needs of customers at different stages of life. Taking USD policy as an example, MyWealth 2 offers a shorter breakeven period, higher projected returns, and greater flexibility. It enhances withdrawal advantages, allowing customers to seize market opportunities in a timely manner, helping wealth accumulation and inheritance.”The three main advantages of MyWealth 21.Shorter breakeven periods, higher projected returns and more flexible withdrawal arrangements- With a five-year premium payment period5, customers can achieve total breakeven and guaranteed breakeven on the 7th and 13th policy anniversaries, respectively. Furthermore, the total policy value is projected to exceed 200% of the total premiums paid by the end of the 17th policy anniversary. Moreover, MyWealth 2 offers potentially higher projected returns than MyWealth 1.- Building on the strengths of MyWealth 1, MyWealth 2 offers more flexible withdrawal arrangements to meet the needs of customers at various stages of life.2.Greater autonomy- First-in-market1 “Wealth Booster Option” 2: On the 10th policy anniversary or any policy anniversary thereafter, customers can apply once to exercise the first-in-market1 “Wealth Booster Option”2 . This allows customers to change the amount components# under the policy according to the long-term target asset allocation under this option in order to enhance the projected return of their policy.- “Wealth Accumulation Switching Option” 3: The 3 special-in-market1 Switching Options, including “Advance”, “Balanced” and “Conservative”, allow customers the flexibility to choose the value ratio of their “Stable Asset Account” 6 from three preset Switching Options, starting from the 10th policy anniversary, fulfilling their financial needs at different stages of life. MyWealth 2 allows customers to apply for this option five years earlier than with MyWealth 1.- Free conversion of the policy currency: On the 3rd policy anniversary and any policy anniversary thereafter, customers can apply to exercise the “Currency Switching Option”, changing the policy currency of the basic plan to a different currency (US dollar, Hong Kong dollar, Chinese yuan, British pound sterling, Euro, Singapore dollar, Australian dollar or Canadian dollar), accommodating their global wealth management goals.- “Policy Split Option” 7: After the end of the 5th policy year or the end of the premium payment period (whichever is later), customers can split the existing policy into two by allocating a portion of the Units of the basic plan under the existing policy to a sperate “Split Policy”. The process involves splitting a policy into two, then two becomes four, and so on, allowing customers to maximise the power of asset allocation.- Premium Holiday8 of up to four years: Customers can apply for a Premium Holiday of up to four years, on or after the 2nd policy anniversary. The premium payment of their next policy anniversary will be suspended, and customers do not need to worry about the immediate termination of their policy and the loss of protection.3.Greater flexibility on inheritance- Dual Succession: After the 6th policy monthly anniversary, customers may change the Insured for unlimited times4. The coverage period will be adjusted to age 128 of the new Insured (“Changed New Insured”), allowing sufficient time for wealth accumulation of the policy. In addition, MyWealth 2 provides a “Policy Continuation Option”9, enabling the Policy Owner to assign up to two beneficiaries and specify the proportion of the Death Proceeds to be paid for each beneficiary. Upon the death of the Insured, the designated beneficiaries will become the new Insured(s), offering flexibility on inheritance.- Customised Death Benefit Settlement Option: The Policy Owner can designate a specified year or a specified age of the beneficiary to start paying the death benefit. This flexible payment allows each beneficiary to have the most appropriate arrangement, leaving a lasting legacy of love.- Premium Waiver10: Accidents or diseases are unforeseeable. MyWealth 2 offers “Waiver of Premium Benefit” and “Payor Benefit” to ensure that the accumulated wealth remains unaffected and to safeguard the financial future of the customer’s children.To help customers realise their financial plans more easily, they can enjoy a First-Year Premium Refund11 of up to 26% when they successfully apply for MyWealth 2. If all premiums payable are settled through a lump sum prepayment, the remaining balance from the prepayment will enjoy a guaranteed interest rate of up to 5% p.a. throughout the whole premium payment period12. This allows customers to start their financial plans at a lower cost.#The amount components refer to Guaranteed Cash Value, face value and cash value of accumulated Reversionary Bonuses and Terminal Bonus (if any) and accumulated value of Stable Asset Account (if any) of the basic plan.Remarks:1.“Special-in-market” and “First-in-market” are the results of comparing similar major life insurance savings products of major life insurance companies in Hong Kong as of 26 September 2024.2.Within 30 days before or after the 10th policy anniversary or every policy anniversary thereafter, customer may, subject to the prevailing rules of the Company, exercise the Wealth Booster Option to adjust the Guaranteed Cash Value, face value and cash value of accumulated Reversionary Bonuses (if any), face value and cash value of Terminal Bonus (if any), and the accumulated value of Stable Asset Account (if any) of the basic plan to other pre-set level(s) (to be determined by the Company and elaborated in an endorsement and new policy specifications) according to the new long-term target asset allocation, without providing any evidence of insurability while subject to the following conditions: (i) all premiums due and payable under the policy must be settled and any Indebtedness must be fully repaid; (ii) no Premium Holiday is in effect, no application for exercising Policy Split Option, Currency Switch Option, Wealth Accumulation Switching Option or Change of Insured Option is in progress, and no claim is in progress under the basic plan of the policy upon request exercising this Option; (iii) the request cannot be changed or withdrawn once it is submitted; and (iv) this Option can only be exercised once under the policy. After the Wealth Booster Option becomes effective, (i) the Guaranteed Cash Value, face value and cash value of Reversionary Bonus (if any), face value and cash value of Terminal Bonus (if any) and accumulated value of Stable Asset Account (if any) of the basic plan of the policy will be adjusted at the sole discretion of the Company while the Unit will remain unchanged. The future amounts of Guaranteed Cash Value, face value and cash value of Reversionary Bonus (if any), face value and cash value of Terminal Bonus (if any) will also be determined accordingly; (ii) the Wealth Accumulation Switching Option will be reset as “Advance” (i.e. the allocation and value in Stable Asset Account are both zero); (iii) all Complementary Policies (if any) and riders (if any) under the policy will remain in force after the change, subject to the then prevailing rules of the Company; (iv) the beneficiary(ies), policy owner, contingent policy owner (if designated), Initial Insured, Insured, policy currency, Policy Date, policy effective date and Policy Years of the basic plan of the policy will remain unchanged; and (v) previous instruction(s) made under the basic plan of the policy including but not limited to Death Benefit Settlement Option and Policy Continuation Option will remain unchanged unless otherwise specified. In the event that both Wealth Booster Option and Wealth Accumulation Switching Option are elected on the same policy anniversary, the Wealth Booster Option will be exercised while the elected Wealth Accumulation Switching Option will be automatically withdrawn immediately. Policy owner may elect the Wealth Accumulation Switching Option again in the next policy anniversary. As the equity-like assets in the new long-term target asset allocation are relatively higher, the Guaranteed Cash Value may be subject to reduction and the risk may increase accordingly after the Wealth Booster Option has been exercised. If customer has any questions, customer can contact financial consultant for more details or seek independent professional advice. Please refer to the Policy Provisions for more details of the Wealth Booster Option.3.Wealth Accumulation Switching Options and its portfolio ratioSwitching option(s)“Stable Asset Account” allocationAllocation of the cash value of Reversionary Bonus (if any)and cash value of Terminal Bonus (if any)Advance0%100%Balanced40%60%Conservative80%20%“Stable Asset Account Allocation” = the value of “Stable Asset Account” ÷ (cash value of Reversionary Bonus (if any) + cash value of Terminal Bonus (if any) + value of Stable Asset Account) x 100%Within 30 days before or after the 10th policy anniversary or every policy anniversary thereafter, customer may, subject to the prevailing rules of the Company, exercise the Wealth Accumulation Switching Option to adjust the Switching Option of the basic plan of the policy to achieve Stable Asset Account Allocation at desire of customer, subject to the following conditions: (i) the Switching Option applied for must be different from the default Switching Option of the Basic Plan of the policy (for the first exercise of this option) or the latest Switching Option as shown in our record (if customer has already exercised this option before); (ii) except the first time of exercise of this option, the switch date of each subsequent request must be separated by a period of not less than 1 year from the switch date of the preceding exercise of this option; and (iii) all indebtedness must be fully settled before exercising this option. Once the Wealth Accumulation Switching Option is exercised, we will correspondingly adjust the amount of any future cash values and face values of Reversionary Bonus and Terminal Bonus at a rate to be determined by us based on the change(s) of the cash values of Reversionary Bonus and Terminal Bonus. Once the Company approves the request of Wealth Accumulation Switching Option, we will determine the value of Stable Asset Account immediately following such exercise of Wealth Accumulation Switching Option (“Target Value”). The Target Value equals the product of Stable Asset Account Allocation of the elected Switching Option and the aggregate of (i) the accumulated value of Stable Asset Account (if any) immediately before such exercise (“Existing Value”); and (ii) the cash values of Reversionary Bonus and Terminal Bonus immediately before such exercise. We will then adjust the balance of Stable Asset Account from the Existing Value to the Target Value at the switch date, which in the case that the Existing Value is lower than the Target Value, the deficit will be resolved by transferring the latest cash value of Reversionary Bonus (if any) and cash value of Terminal Bonus (if any) to the Stable Asset Account; or in the case that the Existing Value is higher than the Target Value, the surplus from the Stable Asset Account will become the cash value of Reversionary Bonus and cash value of Terminal Bonus. In the event that both Wealth Booster Option and Wealth Accumulation Switching Option are elected on the same policy anniversary, the Wealth Booster Option will be exercised while the elected Wealth Accumulation Switching Option will be automatically withdrawn immediately. Policy Owner may elect the Wealth Accumulation Switching Option again in the next policy anniversary. Please refer to the Policy Provisions for more details of the Wealth Accumulation Switching Option.4.Changing the Insured is subject to the prevailing administrative rules and designated requirements. The Unit, Guaranteed Cash Value, the face value of accumulated Reversionary Bonuses (if any) and the face value of Terminal Bonus (if any), any accumulated value of Stable Asset Account, Policy Date and Policy Years will remain the same on the Insured-Change Effective Date while the Plan End Date will be adjusted to the date of policy anniversary on the 128th birthday of the Changed New Insured or following the 128th birthday of the Changed New Insured (whichever is applicable). The Changed New Insured must be aged 64 (last birthday) or below. The change of Insured must be endorsed by the Policy Owner, proposed new Insured and Assignee (if any). Both the new Insured and the current Insured must be alive and the policy is in force at the time the Insured is changed and provided with satisfactory proof of evidence of insurability for the proposed new Insured. We shall cease to provide any coverage for the initial Insured or the prior Insured on our record (when applicable and as the case may be) as from the Insured-Change Effective Date. All riders (if any) will be terminated on the Insured-Change Effective Date. Please refer to the Policy Provisions for details of Changing of Insured Option.5.This is an example of a policy denominated in USD with a 5-year premium payment period. The annual premium payment is US$100,000, resulting in a total premiums paid of US$500,000, without exercising any policy options.6.Account determined in accordance with the Wealth Accumulation Switching Option provision in which its long-term target asset allocation is 100% in fixed income type securities. The value in the Stable Asset Account will be accumulated at such interest rate as may be declared by us from time to time. Interest rates on the Stable Asset Account are not guaranteed and may even be 0% in any year.7.While the policy is in force and the Insured is still alive, after the end of the 5th Policy Year (Applicable to MyWealth Savings Insurance Plan 2 (Premier))/while the policy is in force and the Insured is still alive, after the end of the 5th Policy Year or the end of the premium payment period (whichever is later) (Applicable to MyWealth Savings Insurance Plan 2 (Prestige)), and subject to the prevailing rules of the Company, customer may exercise Policy Split Option to create a separate policy (the “Split Policy”), allocating a portion of Unit from the basic plan of the policy to the Split Policy but subject to the following conditions without providing any evidence of insurability: (i) after the policy Split Option has been exercised (the “Split”), the respective Unit of the basic plan of the policy and Split Policy must not be less than the minimum Unit amount we permit at the time of the request of customer; (ii) the insured of the Split Policy must be the same as the Insured of the basic plan of the policy; (iii) no claim is in progress under the basic plan of the policy upon request exercising this option; (iv) customer’s request for the policy Split Option cannot be changed or withdrawn once it is submitted; (v) any indebtedness under the basic plan of the policy must be fully repaid before we approve customer’s request ; and (vi) Policy Split Option can only be exercised once during a Policy Year. After the Split is approved, (i) the provisions of the Split Policy will be the same as the basic plan of the policy unless otherwise specified; (ii) the Unit, face value and cash value of Reversionary Bonus and Terminal Bonus (if any), accumulated value of Stable Asset Account (if any) will be reduced and transferred to the Split Policy according to the ratio of the Unit allocated to the basic plan of the policy and the Split Policy. We will determine the existing and future amounts of Guaranteed Cash Value, the face value and cash value of Reversionary Bonus and Terminal Bonus (if any); and future premium respectively for both the basic plan of the policy and the Split Policy according to customer’s allocation of the Units; (iii) the total premiums paid for both the basic plan of the policy and the Split Policy will be adjusted according to customer’s allocation of Units and will be used to calculate death benefit; (iv) subject to the rules of the Company, all riders (if any) under the policy will continue to be effective after the Split; (v) the beneficiary(ies), Policy Owner, Contingent Policy Owner (if designated), Initial Insured, Insured, Policy Currency, Policy Date, Policy Effective Date and Policy Years of the basic plan of this Policy will remain unchanged and the Split Policy will have the same beneficiary(ies), Policy Owner, Contingent Policy Owner (if designated), Initial Insured, Insured, Policy Currency, Policy Date, Policy Effective Date and Policy Years of the basic plan of this Policy; and (vi) previous instruction(s) made under the basic plan of the policy including but not limited to Wealth Accumulation Switching Option, Wealth Booster Option, Death Benefit Settlement Option and Policy Continuation Option will also apply to the Split Policy unless otherwise specified.

We will defer the premium end date and premium due date according to the Premium Holiday Period approved.

During the Premium Holiday, customer does not need to pay premiums for the basic plan, the Units, Guaranteed Cash Value, the face value of accumulated Reversionary Bonuses (if any), accumulated value of Stable Asset Account and protection under the basic plan will remain unchanged during the period, provided that customer has not partially surrendered during the Premium Holiday. The cash value of Reversionary Bonus and Terminal Bonus (if any) are non-guaranteed. During the Premium Holiday, we will not declare any face value of non-guaranteed Reversionary Bonus. Please refer to the Policy Provisions for details of Premium Holiday.9.Prior to the death of the Insured, the Policy Owner can assign one or two beneficiary(ies) for the Policy Continuation Option and specify the proportion of the Death Proceeds to be paid to each beneficiary for the Policy Continuation Option.

The respective Policy Date and Policy Years will remain unchanged on the Policy Continuation Effective Date, while the respective plan end date of the basic plan of the policy will be adjusted to the date of policy anniversary on the 128th birthday of the Continued New Insured or the immediately following policy anniversary (whenever is applicable). The surrender payment may be equal to or lower than death benefit before this option has been exercised. If the Death Benefit Settlement Option has already been selected for the beneficiary who has also been elected for the Policy Continuation Option, customer shall cancel the Death Benefit Settlement Option arrangement for such beneficiary before submission of any written request for the Policy Continuation Option. All riders (if any) will be terminated on the Policy Continuation Effective Date. For the beneficiary(ies) who has/have not been elected for the Policy Continuation Option (if any), the Death Benefit will be paid to each of these beneficiary(ies) in a lump sum or the respective option under the Death Benefit Settlement Option provision elected by the Policy Owner. If the Policy Owner has selected both Policy Continuation Option and Death Benefit Settlement Option, Policy Continuation Option will automatically be exercised (regardless of the order of selection). After Policy Continuation Option has been exercised, the Policy Continuation Option and Death Benefit Settlement Option previously selected by the Policy Owner will automatically become invalid Please refer to the Policy Provisions for details of Policy Continuation Option.10.There are 2 types of premium waivers: (i) “Waiver of Premium Benefit” is applicable to the Insured whose age at policy issuance or the change of Insured is between 18 and 60 and is the Policy Owner at the same time, and is diagnosed with total permanent disability before the age of 75. (ii) “Payor Benefit” is applicable to the latest Insured whose age at policy issuance or the change of the Insured is at the age 17 or below; the latest Policy Owner (including contingent Policy Owner) whose age at policy issuance or the change of the Policy Owner (including Contingent Policy Owner) is at the age of 60 or below, and dies or is diagnosed with total permanent disability before the age of 75. After the waived premium of the basic plan reaches the maximum total amount of premium waived (per Insured) and/ or on the waiver of premium end date (until the premium end date that is set at the time of policy issuance), the Policy Owner should pay the remaining premium; otherwise, the automatic premium loan will be applied, or the policy will be terminated. In addition to the premiums stated above, if premiums falling due in the relevant Waiver of Premium Benefit Period are paid before we approve a claim of this benefit, such premiums will be fully refunded (with no interest).

Smart Mobility Management PlatformASTRI's platform offers comprehensive fleet management, including vehicle status monitoring and dispatching. Seamlessly integrating connected and autonomous vehicles (CAV), it meets the evolving demands of future smart mobility. By combining V2X systems with traffic data from open sources and ASTRI's own deployments, the platform leverages AI to provide real-time insights, transforming urban mobility. These insights facilitate informed and cautious decision-making, enhancing the safety of drivers, passengers, and pedestrians.2. Pilot Project of Autonomous AIBus Operation on Public Road with Real TrafficThe pilot project funded by the Smart Traffic Fund is being trailled firstly on public roads in Hong Kong. Following the Code of Practice for Trial and Pilot Use of Autonomous Vehicles published on 1 March 2024. The West Kowloon Cultural District serves as the testbed, the total length of the route is tentatively scheduled to be approximately two kilometers. A road test with selected passengers is scheduled to be commenced in 2025, providing practical data for the future adoption of autonomous driving technology on public roads in Hong Kong.3. Privacy-Preserving Sensing System on Roadside Units (RSUs)These systems collect environmental information while safeguarding personal privacy by processing data locally, without transmitting to cloud servers. This ensures real-time, low-power sensing capabilities, ideal for applications like smart home automation and robotics. This combination of data privacy and efficient sensing facilitates more secure and reliable technology integration into everyday life.4. Mid-Range and High-Precision Full-Dome Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR)Utilising ASTRI-owned intellectual property, this LiDAR achieves high scanning accuracy at economical cost. Designed for medium-range, high-precision 3D sensing, it serves applications in building information modeling (BIM), security, intelligent logistics, and smart cities. The LiDAR enhances overall efficiency by generating detailed BIM models within seven minutes. Its integration with V2X technology advances smart mobility, detecting movements of road users in real-time, enhancing navigation capabilities of CAVs.5. Real-Time On-Train Intrusion Detection SystemThis system, which is co-developed by MTR and ASTRI, offers real-time detection of unexpected objects within tunnels, using multi-sensing fusion technology. It identifies objects even in extremely low-light conditions, generating a 3D train envelope and providing instant alerts. This enhances railway safety and contributes valuable data for the development of Smart Railway.Meanwhile, Dr Justin Chuang, Vice President, Communications Technologies, ASTRI spoke at the Symposium on Innovation & Technology, jointly organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) and the Hong Kong Electronics and Technologies Association, where he discussed the role of wireless communications technologies in promoting digital twins and related applications.Media EnquiryConnie Lau Tel: (852) 3406 2506 / (852) 9497 5390 Email: connielau@astri.orgBeatrice Lam Tel: (852) 3406 0196 / (852) 9036 0212 Email: beatricelam@astri.orgPhoto Download https://bit.ly/4eEkNTZLegislator The Hon Ir Dr Lo Wai Kwok (sixth from right), visits ASTRI’s booth at the HKTDC Hong Kong Electronics Fair (Autumn Edition) with the accompany of HKTDC Electronics and Electrical Appliances Advisory Committee Chairman Professor Steve Chuang (fifth from right) and HKTDC Deputy Executive Director Ms Sophia Chong (seventh from right), along with other guests.

Kremlin memberi komen mengenai prospek perundingan nuklear dengan Amerika Syarikat

Kremlin memberi komen mengenai prospek perundingan nuklear dengan Amerika Syarikat

(SeaPRwire) - Sebarang perbincangan keselamatan perlu lebih luas skopnya memandangkan keadaan semasa, kata jurucakap Kremlin Dmitry Peskov Moscow menganggap perbincangan mengenai pengurangan ancaman nuklear adalah penting, tetapi sebarang perbincangan oleh kuasa dunia harus lebih luas skopnya memandangkan keadaan semasa berhubung dengan konflik Ukraine, kata jurucakap Kremlin Dmitry Peskov. Amerika Syarikat sebelum ini memberi isyarat bahawa ia terbuka kepada dialog dengan Rusia, China, dan Korea Utara mengenai isu keselamatan nuklear. “Sebenarnya, presiden kita telah pun bercakap tentang perkara ini. Rusia menganggap hubungan sedemikian perlu dan ia tidak boleh ditangguhkan, tetapi kita mesti mempertimbangkan semua isu keselamatan secara keseluruhan, dengan mengambil kira keadaan semasa,” kata Peskov pada taklimat media pada Isnin selepas ditanya mengenai kemungkinan penyertaan Rusia dalam perbincangan. “Dalam keadaan perang yang sedang dilancarkan terhadap Rusia dengan penglibatan tidak langsung dan malah langsung daripada kuasa nuklear seperti AS, UK, dan Perancis, adalah mustahil untuk bercakap tentang perkara ini tanpa meletakkan topik itu dalam konteks semua aspek keselamatan lain,” katanya. Pada Ahad, Presiden Amerika Syarikat Joe Biden menyeru kuasa global untuk terus mengambil langkah untuk menjadikan dunia lebih selamat dengan menyingkirkan senjata nuklear. “Mengurangkan ancaman nuklear adalah penting bukan hanya kerana bahaya dunia hari ini, tetapi tepat kerana bahaya tersebut,” kata Biden dalam satu kenyataan mengucapkan tahniah kepada pemenang Hadiah Nobel Keamanan tahun ini, organisasi anti-senjata nuklear Jepun Nihon Hidankyo. Pada bulan Ogos, New York Times melaporkan bahawa Biden telah meluluskan strategi nuklear AS untuk bersiap sedia untuk kemungkinan konfrontasi nuklear yang diselaraskan dengan Rusia, China, dan Korea Utara. Akhbar itu memetik White House sebagai berkata pelan itu telah diluluskan pada bulan Mac dan bukan merupakan tindak balas terhadap negara atau ancaman tertentu. Moscow sentiasa menegaskan bahawa ia tidak berhasrat untuk menggunakan senjata nuklear. Bagaimanapun, pegawai Rusia telah memberi amaran bahawa penglibatan Barat yang semakin meningkat dalam konflik Ukraine, yang dilihat oleh Moscow sebagai perang proksi yang dilancarkan oleh Barat terhadap Rusia, boleh mengakibatkan konfrontasi langsung. Bulan lalu, Presiden Vladimir Putin mengumumkan hasrat untuk membuat perubahan kritikal kepada doktrin nuklear Rusia. Ini menyusuli pertimbangan oleh AS dan sekutunya mengenai sama ada untuk memberikan kebenaran kepada Ukraine untuk menggunakan senjata yang dibekalkan oleh Barat untuk menyerang sasaran jauh di dalam Rusia. Perubahan yang dicadangkan akan membolehkan kepimpinan Rusia untuk merawat serangan oleh negara bukan nuklear yang disokong oleh negara nuklear sebagai ancaman bersama ketika memutuskan sama ada untuk membalas dengan senjata nuklear. Dunia sedang menghadapi ancaman perang nuklear yang semakin meningkat akibat “dasar yang merosakkan” Barat, kata jurucakap Kementerian Luar Negeri Rusia Maria Zakharova minggu lalu. Beliau mengulangi seruan Moscow untuk mempertimbangkan potensi “akibat yang membawa bencana” daripada tindakan ini.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Majlis British Dakwa Raja Arthur ‘LGBTQ’

Majlis British Dakwa Raja Arthur ‘LGBTQ’

(SeaPRwire) - Majlis daerah di Wales telah memasukkan pemerintah mitos itu ke dalam pangkalan pendidikan tempatan, dengan memetik kisah di mana dia memakai pakaian wanita Sebuah majlis daerah di Wales telah memasukkan Raja Arthur dalam garis masa ‘sejarah LGBTQ’, dengan memetik legenda bahawa pemerintah yang terkenal itu pernah memakai pakaian wanita, menurut laporan media tempatan. Pemerintah legenda itu – yang dikatakan telah naik takhta dengan menarik pedangnya, Excalibur, keluar dari batu dan kemudian memerintah Britain dengan bantuan kesatria meja bulat dan ahli sihir Merlin – telah dimasukkan ke dalam sumber pendidikan tempatan di Denbighshire yang mendokumenkan ‘saat-saat penting’ dalam sejarah LGBTQ. Garis masa itu, yang menceritakan “kisah orientasi seksual dan identiti jantina,” berdasarkan karya ahli sejarah yang memberi tumpuan kepada LGBT, Norena Shopland, yang penyelidikannya disokong oleh Swansea University. Inisiatif ini merupakan sebahagian daripada latihan dalam ‘Bahasa dan Sejarah LGBTQ+’ untuk perpustakaan, muzium dan arkib tempatan, dan ditugaskan oleh kerajaan Wales. LGBTQ adalah singkatan yang digunakan untuk menggambarkan lesbian, gay, biseksual, transgender, queer atau individu yang mempersoalkan jantina. Rusia melarang ‘propaganda LGBT’ kepada kanak-kanak pada tahun 2022, dan kemudian memperluaskan langkah itu kepada larangan sepenuhnya. Penggubal undang-undang mengatakan bahawa undang-undang itu bertujuan untuk melindungi nilai tradisional Rusia. Pergerakan LGBT baru-baru ini ditambahkan ke senarai hitam organisasi ekstremis dan pengganas. Tidak ada petunjuk dalam legenda seputar Raja Arthur bahawa dia adalah homoseksual, biseksual, atau transgender. Salah satu kisah zaman pertengahan yang paling popular mengenai pemerintah itu memberi tumpuan kepada perkahwinannya dengan Guinevere, termasuk kisah perselingkuhannya dengan Sir Lancelot, salah seorang kesatria Arthur dan sahabat karibnya. Menjelaskan alasannya untuk memasukkan pemerintah itu dalam garis masa, majlis daerah Denbighshire memetik legenda Wales bahawa “pada suatu kesempatan kemudian Arthur memakai pakaian wanita untuk mengunjungi seorang gadis di Rhuthun.” Legenda mengatakan bahawa Rhuthun, atau Ruthin, di Denbighshire adalah tempat di mana Arthur mengeksekusi pesaingnya bernama Hueil mab Caw.

Korea Utara Kata Artileri Sedia ‘Membuka Api’ Ke Atas Selatan

Korea Utara Kata Artileri Sedia ‘Membuka Api’ Ke Atas Selatan

(SeaPRwire) - Sebarang “provokasi” oleh Seoul akan berakhir dengan “bencana dahsyat,” amaran adik perempuan Kim Jong-un Tentera Korea Utara telah mengarahkan unit artileri barisan hadapan untuk “bersedia sepenuhnya untuk melepaskan tembakan” ke atas Korea Selatan selepas dron dari Selatan didakwa menjatuhkan risalah propaganda di Pyongyang, lapor agensi berita KCNA yang dikendalikan negara itu pada hari Ahad. Kerajaan Korea Utara mendakwa pada hari Jumaat bahawa Selatan menerbangkan dron membawa risalah propaganda ke atas ibu negara itu pada tiga kali kejadian berasingan bulan ini, termasuk dua penerbangan awal minggu ini. Walaupun Korea Utara telah bertindak balas terhadap kempen propaganda sebelumnya dengan menghantar yang berisi sampah dan najis ke selatan, insiden terkini memerlukan tindak balas ketenteraan, lapor KCNA. “Jeneral Staf [Tentera Rakyat Korea] mengeluarkan perintah operasi awal pada 12 Oktober kepada unit artileri gabungan di sepanjang sempadan... untuk bersedia sepenuhnya untuk melepaskan tembakan,” tulis agensi itu, memetik Kementerian Pertahanan Korea Utara. Perintah itu meletakkan “lapan briged artileri yang dipersenjatai sepenuhnya dengan kekuatan perang sepenuhnya dalam keadaan bersiap sedia untuk melepaskan tembakan,” tambah laporan itu. Korea Utara dipercayai memiliki lebih daripada 10,000 buah artileri yang digali di sepanjang sempadan selatannya, 6,000 daripadanya berada dalam jangkauan pusat penduduk utama Korea Selatan, menurut laporan tahun 2020 oleh RAND Corporation, sebuah pusat pemikiran yang dibiayai oleh tentera AS. Jika perang meletus antara dua Korea, lebih daripada 205,000 orang boleh terbunuh di Seoul, Incheon, Gimpo, dan bandar-bandar Korea Selatan yang lain dalam masa sejam, anggaran laporan RAND. Dalam kenyataan yang disiarkan oleh KCNA pada hari Ahad, Kim Yo-jong, adik perempuan pemimpin Korea Utara Kim Jong-il, memberi amaran bahawa Pyongyang menganggap “penyerakan risalah” Selatan sebagai “provokasi bermotif politik yang serius dan pelanggaran kedaulatan.” “Saat drone [Korea Selatan] dikesan di langit ibu negara kami sekali lagi, pasti akan membawa kepada bencana dahsyat,” tegas Kim. Menteri Pertahanan Korea Selatan Kim Yong-hyun pada mulanya menafikan menghantar dron ke ruang udara Korea Utara. Bagaimanapun, Ketua Staf Gabungan negara itu kemudian menyatakan bahawa mereka “tidak dapat mengesahkan sama ada dakwaan Korea Utara itu benar atau tidak.” Pertikaian dron itu berlaku kurang dari sebulan selepas Korea Utara mengumumkan bahawa ia telah menguji varian baharu peluru berpandu balistik Hwasong-11 yang dilengkapi dengan kepala peledak konvensional “super besar” seberat 4.5 tan. Pengumuman ini dibuat dalam tempoh beberapa minggu selepas AS dan Korea Selatan menamatkan latihan ketenteraan berskala besar di rantau itu. Walaupun Washington dan Seoul menggambarkan latihan itu sebagai bersifat defensif, Kementerian Luar Negeri Korea Utara menilainya sebagai “latihan perang provokatif untuk agresi.”Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Standard Chartered GBA Business Confidence Survey shows softer business performance in Q3

Standard Chartered GBA Business Confidence Survey shows softer business performance in Q3

HONG KONG, Oct 14, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Standard Chartered and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) today released the Standard Chartered GBA Business Confidence Index (GBAI) for the third quarter of 2024. The “expectations” index rose for a second straight quarter to 55.2 from 54.8 in Q2, reflecting sentiment continued to improve modestly among firms. The “current performance” index for business activity fell to 50.6 from 54.1 in Q2, indicating a further weakening of economic momentum after a challenging first half of 2024.Hong Kong leads bullsAt city level, Hong Kong and Dongguan registered improvements in both current performance and expectations sub-indices. Hong Kong posted the highest “expectations” index, rising to 58.8 from 49.7 in Q2, the steepest rise among the 11 Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area cities, while “current performance” slightly increased by 0.2 points to 47.3. The “expectations” index of the other five cities in the survey were all above the 50 neutral mark.In line with the soft set of China macro data in July and August, the sub-indices for industry categories trended down in general, with the manufacturing sector suffering the most. In terms of “expectations”, while GBA manufacturers’ confidence may have been affected by a potential surge in US tariffs against China-origin products in the event of a Trump win in the November US presidential election, the score remained stable at 54.1, well above the neutral mark.Kelvin Lau, Senior Economist, Greater China, Standard Chartered, said: “The survey findings are in line with the economic data released in August, pointing to a slower industrial production, retail sales and fixed asset investment growth on subdued domestic demand and adverse weather. Nevertheless, it is noteworthy that the optimism associated with China’s stronger-than-expected stimulus package introduced in late-September, together with the new phase of Fed’s rate cut cycle, has yet to reflect in the third quarter survey findings. We believe the business sentiment among GBA companies can be boosted in the near term, driven by the positive sentiment and jump in equity market turnover following the announcement of the stimulus measures.”60% GBA companies express concerns over risk factors – rates, economic growth and trade barriers topped the listWhile the rate-cutting cycle can serve as a tailwind to business, the market outlook remains challenging. 60% of respondents saw external and internal risks posing a substantial risk to their overall business in the next 12 months. “Higher global inflation and interest rates” (47%), “renewed China growth slowdown” (46%) and “trade tariffs, sanctions against China-origin products” (42%) were the top three concerns. The Fed’s recent jumbo rate cut in September, signalling potential relief to GBA companies, likely offset lingering trade and geopolitical risks in the run-up to the US presidential election.During the survey period, the discussion on tariff hikes against products of Chinese origin arose again. In terms of trade barriers, 47.2% of respondents said they were negatively impacted by tariff hikes versus 44.2% by sanctions and 34.6% by non-tariff barriers.In the event of further rise in trade disputes between China and the US/EU, of the 37% survey respondents involved in external trade and anticipating a change to their external trade in the next few months, 88% said they would front-load their second-half export orders, while 81% said they would front-load their imports to minimise the potential impacts to their businesses. Irina Fan, HKTDC Director of Research, said: “GBA manufacturers may have concerns about a potential surge in US tariffs against China-origin products after the November US election. However, some 50-60% of the respondents do not anticipate any potential negative impacts on their business.”About the GBAIThe GBAI is the first forward-looking quarterly survey in the market that looks at the business sentiment and synergistic effects in cities and industries across the GBA. It is compiled based on a survey of more than 1,000 companies in the GBA covering the manufacturing and trading, retail and wholesale, financial services, professional services and innovation and technology sectors. The index enables investors and businesses to better understand the current business climate, gauge future performance prospects and formulate their market strategies for the GBA.Related materialsStandard Chartered GBA Business Confidence Index Report: https://www.sc.com/hk/gba/gba-index-report/HKTDC Research: https://research.hktdc.com/en/article/MTgyMTM1MTk5NwPhotos download: https://bit.ly/3NrhLXcKelvin Lau, Senior Economist, Greater China, Standard Chartered, and Irina Fan, Director of Research, HKTDC, announced the latest GBA Business Confidence Index (GBAI) today (14 October).
