SHENZHEN, China, Dec. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Following the release of its annual ESG report in June 2025, TCL Technology is proud to highlight its progress on water resource protection and green technology innovation, which are key pillars in addressing environmental challenges and building a low-carbon future. TCL Technology prioritizes water resource management and the development of clean technologies as critical components of its strategy to foster green transformation and advance sustainability on a global scale.
Comprehensive Water Resource Management: From Risk Control to Circular Economy
TCL Technology demonstrates its leadership in water resource management through a robust governance framework. The Strategy and Sustainability Committee under the Group’s Board of Directors oversees water management strategies and performance, ensuring continuous improvement and adherence to conservation principles across all subsidiaries. By combining sound policies, technological innovation, and comprehensive process control, the Company has built a robust and efficient water resource management system.
TCL Technology embeds water resource management into its corporate governance framework, using policies to guide implementation. For example, TCL CSOT has introduced a Water Resource Management Policy, comprising six sub-policies that outline responsibilities for conservation, resource planning, and inspections. This creates a closed-loop control process from target-setting to implementation and oversight. Similarly, TCL Zhonghuan incorporates water resource management indicators into its ESG performance evaluation framework as part of its Environmental Management Policy, linking plant manager performance to executive remuneration to ensure operational accountability.
TCL Zhonghuan’s Organizational Structure for Water Management
Technological innovation and process optimization drive TCL Technology’s efforts to use water resources efficiently:
Guangzhou TCL CSOT: Optimized brine reuse and rainwater collection systems, forming a closed-loop framework covering production, recycling, and reuse.
Wuhan TCL CSOT: Adopted membrane separation to treat fluoride-bearing wastewater, enabling the reuse of 780,000 cubic meters of water annually. Additional measures, such as chemical precipitation to reduce heavy metals in silver-bearing wastewater and a wetland-based rainwater reuse system, integrate gray infrastructure with ecological solutions.
TCL CSOT Artificial Wetland Park
To proactively evaluate and address water-related risks, TCL Technology’s subsidiaries employ the World Resources Institute (WRI) Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas to assess water risk levels globally across its factories. For example, TCL CSOT’s 2024 assessment identified its Suzhou base as exposed to relatively higher water stress and consumption risks, while other locations reported at medium to low risk levels. These insights inform tailored strategies to mitigate site-specific risks.
TCL CSOT Water Risk Identification and Assessment Results
Innovating for a Green Future: Clean Technology at the Core of TCL’s Strategy
Clean technology is central to TCL Technology’s mission of advancing corporate transformation and sustainable growth. By prioritizing investment in clean technologies, the Company integrates sustainability into its business operations, establishing a green management framework that covers the entire product lifecycle and supports global efforts to transition to a low-carbon economy.
In practice, TCL CSOT collaborates with customers to promote circular economy principles, such as recycling and reusing primary packaging materials to reduce resource consumption and environmental impacts. In 2024, the Company completed carbon footprint assessments for its 12.9-inch display panel and 10.1-inch central control display module. Using the results, it optimized key emission hotspots along the product lifecycle and established an ESG-oriented product R&D platform to advance green product development and enhance sustainability performance.
TCL Zhonghuan plays a key role in the energy and low-carbon transition, focusing on reducing the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) in photovoltaic power systems. Through breakthroughs in photovoltaic wafer and cell technologies, the Company is developing low-emission photovoltaic solar energy products across the full product lifecycle.
By seamlessly integrating water resource efficiency management and clean technology innovation into its operations, TCL Technology is setting a benchmark for sustainable development. The Company’s commitment to circular economy principles, resource conservation, and ESG-focused innovation underscores its vision of creating a positive impact on the environment, businesses, and communities worldwide.

BEIJING, Dec. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Renowned international investor Jim Rogers expressed strong optimism about China’s future during a special live broadcast hosted by Guotai Haitong Securities on Thursday, predicting that the country will become the most important global economy in the next decade and even the next century.
Rogers, who co-founded the Quantum Fund, revealed that he holds a significant amount of Chinese stocks and emphasized the resilience of China’s capital market. He noted that while many global markets have experienced crashes in recent years, the Chinese market has remained relatively stable, and he expressed his intention to increase his holdings of Chinese assets during any future market dips.
Regarding specific investment opportunities, Rogers highlighted sectors such as tourism, transportation, and aviation as key beneficiaries of China’s ongoing development. He also identified the agriculture sector as currently undervalued and worthy of investor attention.
Analyzing the broader global landscape, Rogers warned that the continuous market rise since 2009 is historically rare and cautioned investors to remain vigilant against risks when easy profits are widespread. Addressing the artificial intelligence sector, he suggested that while new technologies often lead to bubbles, the AI industry has not yet reached that stage.
In terms of asset allocation and strategy, Rogers reaffirmed his long-term positive stance on precious metals, disclosing that he currently holds both gold and silver. While he is not adding to his positions at current record-high prices, he indicated he would buy more if prices pull back.
He advised younger investors to stick to fields they understand well and to ignore the “noise” from television and the internet, stressing that focus is essential for long-term wealth accumulation.
To assist investors in navigating the 2026 market, Guotai Haitong introduced its upgraded “Lingxi 2.0” application during the event, which features integrated AI capabilities across market monitoring, trading, and professional consultation. The platform uses natural language processing to help users execute trades and analyze market trends more efficiently.
Guotai Haitong Securities stated that it remains committed to leveraging professional expertise and digital technology to help clients improve their long-term investment success rates and to support the high-quality development of the wealth management industry.
HANOI, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 19 December 2025 – In celebration of the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam, Vingroup simultaneously commences 11 projects, including: the Olympic Sports Urban Area in Hanoi featuring the Trong Dong (Bronze Drum) Stadium; the Ha Long Xanh and Cam Ranh mega urban complexes; a social housing project in Hung Yen; the Song Tri Ward Urban Area in Ha Tinh; Vincom Plaza Vinh in Nghe An; the Tuan Chau Public Park in Quang Ninh; the Ben Thanh – Can Gio high-speed railway; two wind power plants; and the VinMetal steel manufacturing plant in Vung Ang. These are foundational projects in urban development, infrastructure, green energy, and heavy industry, contributing strong momentum for future growth.
Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, Hanoi Party Secretary Nguyen Duy Ngoc, leaders of central ministries and agencies, local leaders, and Mr. Pham Nhat Vuong, Chairman of Vingroup, press the button to commence the Olympic Sports Urban Area project.
Among these activities, the groundbreaking ceremony of Vingroup’s Olympic Sports Urban Area Investment and Construction Project in Hanoi served as the central broadcast location for the live-televised program marking the commencement, inauguration, and technical opening of projects and works celebrating the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam. The event was honored by the presence of Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, Secretary of Hanoi Party Committee Nguyen Duy Ngoc, along with leaders of the Party and State, leaders of central ministries and agencies, and the leadership of Hanoi.
Speaking at the event, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh emphasized that the projects and works commenced, inaugurated, and technically opened on this occasion are large-scale developments with complex technical requirements, playing a particularly important role in socio-economic development, with several record-setting features. First, they represent the largest total investment ever, amounting to 3.4 quadrillion VND. Second, they feature the highest level of private sector participation, with nearly 2.8 quadrillion VND, accounting for 82% of total investment. Third, they include the single largest investment project to date, the Olympic Sports Urban Area, with total capital of 925 trillion VND.
“These are critical foundations for a synchronized and modern infrastructure system that meets the country’s development needs in the new era. They are key links in the effort to build a peaceful, stable, deeply integrated, prosperous, civilized, thriving, and happy Vietnam, steadfastly advancing towards socialism,” the Prime Minister said.
The Olympic Sports Urban Area investment and construction project covers more than 9,171 hectares, with total investment of approximately VND 925 trillion. This marks the largest urban area in Vietnam, spanning 11 communes. Located at the southern gateway of Hanoi, the Olympic Sports Urban Area sits at the intersection of Ring Road 3.5, Ring Road 4, National Highway 1A, the Phap Van – Cau Gie expressway, and especially adjacent to Ngoc Hoi Station, opening significant potential for sports urban development integrated with modern public transport.
The project is planned into four zones with the goal of creating a sports city and service city associated with a world-class sports complex, enhancing Hanoi’s position on the continental and global sports and cultural map and creating sustainable development momentum for decades.
The heart of the sports complex is a national-level facility, the Trong Dong Stadium, developed on an area of 73.3 hectares with a capacity of up to 135,000 seats. It is designed as a FIFA-standard stadium with the world’s largest seating capacity and the largest fully retractable roof. Beyond its record-breaking scale, Trong Dong Stadium is also one of the most distinctive stadiums globally, featuring design elements inspired by Vietnamese culture, richly incorporating Dong Son bronze drum motifs, creating a structure that is both modern and symbolic of Vietnamese spirit.
Notably, the stadium is positioned as a green and smart facility, integrating AI with the ability to replace the pitch surface within 6-10 hours; smart seats connected via 5G; real-time security and crowd management; water collection and recycling systems saving 70% of clean water; heat and UV resistance; and natural ventilation to reduce air conditioning energy consumption and noise. The stadium also includes a dedicated VVIP area meeting standards for hosting international heads of state at major events.
The Trong Dong Stadium is expected to be completed in August 2028.
In urban development, alongside Hanoi, in Quang Ninh Province, Vingroup and Vinhomes have broken ground on the Ha Long Xanh integrated urban project in Ha An Ward, Quang Ninh Province. Located adjacent to Ha Long Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage site, with a total scale of more than 4,100 hectares, among the largest in Vietnam, Ha Long Xanh is planned as a “globally-connected wonder city by the heritage bay.” The project is connected domestically and internationally by the Hanoi – Hai Phong – Ha Long – Van Don – Mong Cai expressway, a network of airports and international seaports, and especially the Hanoi – Quang Ninh high-speed railway currently registered for investment by VinSpeed High-Speed Railway Investment and Development Joint Stock Company. The Ha Long Xanh integrated urban area is expected to bring its first components into operation from 2028.
Following the Ha Long Xanh coastal mega city, a consortium of investors including Vinhomes Joint Stock Company, Cam Ranh Investment Joint Stock Company, and VinES Energy Solutions Joint Stock Company has broken ground on the Cam Ranh Bay Coastal Urban Area project. Covering more than 1,254 hectares, the project is planned to maximally preserve the pristine beauty of one of the world’s most beautiful bays, positioning Cam Ranh as an ideal place of residence for elite communities both domestically and internationally, while elevating Khanh Hoa’s standing in the South Central Coast region.
The next urban project launched is the Song Tri Ward Urban Area in Ha Tinh, covering 84.12 hectares. With an integrated system of schools, medical centers, parks, and commercial and entertainment facilities, the Song Tri Ward Urban Area is one of the largest urban projects in the locality, contributing to improved quality of life for residents.
In the social housing segment, Vingroup continues to affirm its pioneering role by breaking ground on the Social Housing Project in Pho Hien Ward, Hung Yen Province, covering 31.1 hectares with 25 apartment buildings. Beyond meeting essential housing needs for workers, the project provides an integrated and superior all in one amenities system including schools, medical facilities, parks, and parking areas. The project is expected to be handed over in 2027.
On the same day, in Nghe An, Vincom Plaza Vinh is officially inaugurated, marking the presence of the 90th Vincom shopping center nationwide and standing as one of the most modern shopping centers in the North Central region. Located on Quang Trung Street, with a total floor area of more than 25,000 square meters forming the podium of a 37-story five-star hotel tower, a new symbol of the city, Vincom Plaza Vinh is not only a leading shopping, dining, and entertainment destination for local residents and visitors, but also the first of its kind in Nghe An to offer a fresh cultural experience space.
In the infrastructure sector, Vingroup officially broke ground on the Tuan Chau Public Park project in Tuan Chau Ward and Viet Hung Ward, Quang Ninh Province. This is a mega ecological, cultural, and sports park with a scale of more than 626 hectares, the largest in the country. The park is planned into four themed zones: Festival Park with a family connection theme; Sports Arena Park with a sports theme; Discovery Park with physical challenge activities; and Tranquil Forest Park with wellness and public forest themes. Each park’s design optimally leverages Ha Long’s mountain, forest, and green bay characteristics to deliver diverse experiences that combine sports activities, family and friend connections, nature exploration, energy renewal, and a balanced lifestyle within a modern urban rhythm.
The Tuan Chau Public Park is expected to come into operation in 2028, marking an important step in Vingroup’s strategy to create green, experience-rich spaces that deliver sustainable health and mental value for residents and visitors, while promoting tourism development in Northern Vietnam.
At the same time, at the Vinhomes Green Paradise Can Gio mega urban area in Ho Chi Minh City, the groundbreaking ceremony for the Ben Thanh – Can Gio railway project also took place. This is the first high-speed railway project in Vietnam. The line has a length of 54 km, a maximum speed of 350 km/h, with its starting point at Ben Thanh and its terminus at Vinhomes Green Paradise Can Gio. Once operational, expected in the fourth quarter of 2028, the line will open a new era for national railway infrastructure, driving development in commerce, tourism, real estate, and especially the marine economy for Ho Chi Minh City and the entire Southeast region.
In the green energy sector, VinEnergo Energy Joint Stock Company launched two large-scale projects including the Eco Wind Ky Anh Wind Power Plant and the Ky Anh Wind Power Plant. The Eco Wind Ky Anh Wind Power Plant has a capacity of 498 MW with expected annual output of 1,322.4 GWh. The Ky Anh Wind Power Plant has a capacity of 400 MW and is expected to supply approximately 1,053.3 GWh per year.

Step Inside 400 Years of Taiko-Making A 60-Minute “See, Hear, Play” Taiko Experience at Asano Taiko in Hakusan, Ishikawa
KANAZAWA, Japan, Dec. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Kanazawa Biyori is a regional media platform that not only introduces the scenery, food, and crafts of Ishikawa, but also focuses on experiences that can only be found in this region. We believe that time spent encountering local skills, sounds, and people leaves a lasting impression on visitors.
Asano Taiko, a Japanese drum manufacturer with over 400 years of history, has recently launched a cultural experience program for domestic and international visitors: “Asano Taiko Factory Tour & Taiko Experience.” This 60-minute program combines a factory tour, professional performances, and hands-on drumming sessions, allowing participants to immerse themselves in traditional Japanese taiko culture and craftsmanship through three dimensions: seeing, listening, and playing. Kanazawa Biyori spoke with the organizer about this unique program.
Visiting a Taiko Workshop with Over 400 Years of History
Asano Taiko traces its roots back to an early Edo-period family craft business and has passed down taiko-making skills for more than four centuries. At the 2010 NAMM Show—one of the world’s largest musical instrument trade fairs—the company was recognized as the oldest percussion manufacturer in the industry.
From selecting and hollowing logs, to shaping and lacquering the body, stretching the hides, and securing them with tacks, Asano Taiko carries out all stages of taiko production in its own workshops. In particular, the company is known for its large drums over three shaku (approx. 90 cm) in diameter, which hold a top-class share of the domestic market.
The tour begins in the showroom, where visitors can see a variety of instruments up close—ōdaiko (large drums), miya-daiko, tsuzumi, and different types of bachi (drumsticks). Highlights include a 6-shaku-1-sun ōdaiko (approx. 185 cm head diameter, weighing over one ton) and Asano’s original tunable oke-daiko. Guests are welcome to try striking some of the drums to hear their sound.
After that, participants move into the normally closed factory area to observe artisans at work. The quiet concentration of craftspeople facing wood and hide, and the repetition of each careful step, reveal how a single stroke on the drum is supported by a long chain of manual processes.
From Professional Performance to Your Own “First Strike”
Following the factory tour, the program moves to Asano Taiko’s in-house studio. A professional taiko performer, who also serves as instructor, presents a solo performance on the ōdaiko. Each stroke sends vibrations through the air and into the listener’s body, conveying the expressive range of taiko—built only from rhythm, dynamics, and tempo.
Participants then pick up bachi themselves and receive simple instruction on how to play. During our visit, overseas travelers joined the session as well. Starting from basic patterns and gradually moving to more complex rhythms, their expressions and the sound of their playing grew more confident with each phrase. Regardless of language or cultural background, sharing rhythm together naturally brought smiles to the group.
Why Kanazawa Biyori Is Paying Attention
1. An integrated “factory × performance × hands-on” cultural experience Rather than being only a factory tour or a casual workshop, this program deliberately weaves together three elements:
Learning about the history of a long-established maker and its production process
Feeling the sound of taiko through a professional performance
Experiencing the act of drumming with your own hands
This structure gives the tour a high degree of completeness as a cultural experience, suitable for both first-time visitors and those already familiar with taiko.
2. Small groups, private bookings, and flexible for all ages and backgrounds The tour is offered for groups of 2 to 20 people, with each time slot reserved for a single group. There is no strict age limit, making it possible for children and older adults to participate together. The program has already welcomed international visitors and can be adapted for family trips, school excursions, and corporate training.
3. A manageable excursion from Kanazawa with strong regional character Asano Taiko is located in Fukutome-machi, Hakusan City—an area that is easy to access from central Kanazawa:
Around 40 minutes by car from Komatsu Airport
Around 8 minutes by car from Matto Station on the IR Ishikawa Railway
For travelers visiting Ishikawa, it works well as a half-day excursion that adds a “behind-the-scenes” craft experience to itineraries focused on Kanazawa’s well-known sightseeing spots.

TAIPEI, Dec. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Asia’s leading adult livestreaming platform SWAG has released its 2025 Annual Report, revealing key insights into user behavior, interaction trends, and the creators shaping the platform over the past year.
2025 SWAG Recap: A Year-in-Review of Asia’s Largest Adult Livestreaming Platform
Highlights from the report include the rapid rise of “green creators”—a new category of creators focused on talent, conversation, and companionship—alongside the explosive growth of one-on-one interactions and a clear shift toward a more diverse content ecosystem driven by upgrades to SWAG’s recommendation system.
One of the most defining trends of 2025 is the emergence of green creators as a powerful new force on the platform. By emphasizing singing, chatting, and emotional connection over explicit content, these creators stood out in an increasingly competitive environment through talent and personal charisma. The top three green creators—Sandra (@bbb.36.2001), Yunbao (@yunbaobao301), and Ruan (@ruan.ccc)—represented SWAG on an international stage at Berlin Fashion Week, marking the first time creators from an adult platform appeared at a global fashion event and one of SWAG’s most talked-about milestones of the year.
In terms of viewership, Tongshen delivered the most-watched livestream of 2025. His debut broadcast on SWAG quickly went viral, reaching a peak of 3,300 concurrent viewers, while related short-form clips surpassed 1.65 million views, making it the platform’s most discussed live event of the year.
Among creators, long-time fan favorite Hanna (@hannababe) reclaimed her title as Creator of the Year after a strong comeback. Meanwhile, the Best Newcomer honor went to Xiao Yao Jing (@yizhiniao), widely known as the “Goddess of One-on-One Interaction.” Her contrast between sweet, non-explicit public streams and highly engaging private sessions fueled her rapid rise as one of the fastest-growing creators of the year.
One-on-one interactions emerged as the platform’s most popular paid format. Users are 18 times more likely to send virtual gifts in private sessions than in public streams. Vietnamese creator janbebe stood out by earning 15 million diamonds (approximately NT$1 million) through one-on-one interactions alone, positioning her as one of the year’s brightest rising stars.
Finally, SWAG reported strong results following a major upgrade to its recommendation system. Improvements in click-through rates, watch time, and conversion rates have increased exposure for new and mid-tier creators, enabling the platform to move away from a single dominant content style toward a more balanced, diverse, and sustainable creator ecosystem—benefiting both users and creators alike.
BEIJING, Dec. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — In south China-situated Hainan Province, a global portal was put online for its free trade port (FTP) from December 15 to update foreign-funded businesses and foreigners on related integrated service and news.
The multilingual website, whose domain is en.hainan.gov.cn, offers foreigners content in English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian and Arabic to facilitate their business running, living, and travelling in the tropical island.
Generally, the international services portal has seven primary sections named as “Dynamic Hainan”, “Do Business”, and “Online Services”, and 29 secondary categories covering diverse needs of foreigners.
By integrating 29 foreigner-related business systems and websites across Hainan such as the local online public service platform “Haiyiban”, the portal is capable of one-stop access-based offering of 44 high-frequency services and 95 individual items.
Key offerings of the multilingual services portal include guides and access points for enterprise registration, medical appointments, visa-free policies, work permits, scenic area guides, etc.
As a move to adapt to the high-quality running of Hainan FTP, where island-wide special customs operation began on Thursday, the multilingual portal bears testimony to China’s firm commitment to widening opening up.
In the future, Hainan will continue to optimize the portal’s functions and content to improve efficiency and international communication, striving for pooling more high-caliber talents and building an FTP in which foreign friends love to gather, invest and settle.

Behind these international honors lies Squirrel AI Intelligent Tutor’s long-term technical accumulation in the AI education field. Its self-developed All-Subject Multimodal Adaptive Education Large Model, built on massive data and professional expertise, integrates over 20 billion learning behavior data points and incorporates the teaching experience of hundreds of senior teachers, providing data support for precise matching of student learning needs.
Li Haoyang, founder of Squirrel AI Intelligent Tutor, believes that no two students are exactly alike, and therefore there should not be two identical learning paths. Based on this educational philosophy, the model can accurately capture multi-dimensional user data such as student answer trajectories and facial expression changes through “micro-granularity” knowledge graphs and dynamic adaptation algorithms, forming a complete teaching closed loop of “diagnosis-planning-feedback-optimization.” This technical design breaks through the limitations of traditional education, enabling scalable implementation of personalized teaching and turning the ideal of every child having an exclusive “super teacher” into a technological reality.
In addition to optimizing student learning experiences, the model also focuses on providing practical support for teachers. By taking over repetitive tasks such as learning situation analysis and homework grading, it effectively frees up teachers’ time and energy, allowing them to focus on core teaching activities such as guiding students in deep thinking and stimulating learning interest. This “intelligent tutor + human teacher” collaborative model fully balances the optimization of student learning experience with the improvement of teaching efficiency.
Technical accumulation provides foundational support for practical implementation. Xu Yihan leads her team in pioneering a new business cooperation model. This model aligns with actual market needs, explores efficient and feasible cooperation paths, and lowers the threshold for high-quality AI education resources to reach end users, allowing students and schools in more regions, including those with relatively scarce educational resources, to access relevant services.
Data shows that Squirrel AI Intelligent Tutor has established deep cooperation with over 60,000 public schools nationwide, serving more than 43 million students, with approximately 3,000 offline partner stores, forming a scaled and widely-covered education service layout.
To further promote educational equity, the company has made a public welfare commitment: to allow children from the world’s 20% lowest-income families to use the Squirrel AI Intelligent Tutor system for free, breaking down resource barriers caused by geographical and family economic conditions, and enabling children from different backgrounds to equally access high-quality, adaptive educational resources. This commitment reflects Squirrel AI Intelligent Tutor’s social responsibility as an EdTech enterprise and allows the value of AI education to transcend tool attributes, benefiting a broader population.
Regarding future development, Squirrel AI Intelligent Tutor has clarified a dual-track advancement plan: On one hand, it will continue to deepen R&D of the All-Subject Multimodal Adaptive Education Large Model, further improve the data support system and algorithm optimization, and continuously strengthen core technological competitiveness; on the other hand, relying on technological innovation achievements and localization adaptation strategies, it will steadily advance global market layout, gradually introducing AI education tools into teaching scenarios in more countries to share China’s AI education practical solutions and experience.
Xu Yihan stated: “The development of education technology begins with adhering to the original intention of education and focuses on putting it into practice. We will continue to uphold the original intention of intelligent education, deepen technological innovation, and steadily promote practical implementation, allowing the actual value of AI education to enter more classrooms and benefit more teachers and students.”
