DALIAN, China, June 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The 17th Annual Meeting of the New Champions (AMNC, also known as “Summer Davos”) of the World Economic Forum was held from June 23 to 25 at the Dalian International Conference Center. Alex Yang, Co-Founder, COO, and CFO of Tuya Smart (NYSE: TUYA; HKEX: 2391), was invited to participate in multiple sessions, including “China’s Lobster Fever,” “AI and Future Growth,” and “Owning the Interface: Strategy in the Age of AI Agents,” where he shared his perspectives on the evolving global AI landscape and the future of innovation at scale.

Under the theme of “Innovating at Scale,” the forum convened more than 1,700 leaders and innovators from government, business, and academia across over 90 countries and regions to explore how artificial intelligence, industrial digitalization, and emerging innovation models are reshaping economic growth and technology adoption.

A New Phase of Global AI Innovation

Breakthroughs in foundation models and AI agents are accelerating the rise of artificial intelligence as a new frontier of global technological competition. China’s AI industry and technology enterprises have drawn growing international attention through rapid commercialization and extensive application scenarios. Reflecting this momentum, AI and digital transformation were among the most discussed topics at Summer Davos, with sessions exploring topics such as the boundaries of AI-first enterprises and the implications of increasingly autonomous cross-border AI agents.

Behind China’s “Lobster Fever”

The widespread adoption of AI tools was among the forum’s defining themes. During the session “China’s Lobster Fever,” Yang joined Cathy Li, Head of AI, Data and Metaverse at the World Economic Forum, and S. Alex Yang, Professor of Management Science and Operations at London Business School, to discuss the factors driving China’s rapid AI adoption and innovation.

Yang noted that China’s ability to achieve large-scale AI adoption is the result of several reinforcing advantages.

“First, the country has a vast number of developers who are actively exploring and building AI applications. Second, both individuals and businesses have demonstrated a remarkable openness for exploring and testing new technologies. More fundamentally, the strong aspiration across society for development and progress has become a powerful intrinsic driver of AI innovation.”

“At Tuya, we are dedicated to bringing AI into various real-world industry scenarios,” Yang added. “In the smart home sector, we lower the barriers to building AI-native products through standardized AI modules and an active developer community. In the energy sector, our AI solutions span the entire energy lifecycle—from generation and transmission to storage and consumption. By integrating real-time and dynamic electricity pricing data from more than 800 utility companies across Europe, our platform can intelligently optimize energy loads and help users efficiently reduce overall energy costs.”

Commenting on the commercialization of AI, Yang noted that the industry is shifting “from traditional usage-based pricing models toward an outcome-driven value-based pricing model.” He added, “For enterprises, the winners of the AI era will be those that not only adopt AI technologies early but also build AI-native organizations and talent.”

Advancing Global AI Applications Through an Open Developer Ecosystem

During Summer Davos, Yang also gave interviews to major global media outlets including CNBC, Bloomberg, and CGTN, sharing his views on the commercialization of AI applications, developer ecosystem development, and the large-scale deployment of AI hardware.

He emphasized that in an era of rapid technological change and accelerating industrial transformation, open innovation is essential to sustaining long-term competitiveness. Looking ahead, Tuya will continue to deepen its focus on AI Home, AI Energy, and AI Robot applications, working with global developers and ecosystem partners to advance AI from technological breakthroughs to large-scale deployment.

HANOI, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 26 June 2026 – VinEnergo, a member of Vingroup’s green ecosystem, and SunAsia Energy Inc., a pioneer in the Philippine solar energy sector, have announced a strategic partnership to develop a portfolio of large-scale renewable energy projects utilizing the Solar on Stilts model. With expected lifetime revenues exceeding USD 1.5B, the projects will drive job creation, catalyze infrastructure investment, and strengthen the Philippines’ energy security.

Ms. Tetchi Capellan, Chief Executive Officer and Chairperson of SunAsia Energy (second from left), and Mr. Nguyen Anh Khoa, CEO of VinEnergo (second from right), sign the agreement between the two companies in the presence of Ms. Sharon Garin, Secretary of Energy of the Philippines, and Mr. Lai Thai Binh, Ambassador of Vietnam to the Philippines.
Ms. Tetchi Capellan, Chief Executive Officer and Chairperson of SunAsia Energy (second from left), and Mr. Nguyen Anh Khoa, CEO of VinEnergo (second from right), sign the agreement between the two companies in the presence of Ms. Sharon Garin, Secretary of Energy of the Philippines, and Mr. Lai Thai Binh, Ambassador of Vietnam to the Philippines.

Between 2027 and 2028, VinEnergo and SunAsia Energy plan to bring three flagship projects into operation, with a combined installed capacity of 422MWp. These are projects located in Macabebe, Pampanga (181 MWp), Sagay (126 MWp) and Silay (115MWp), both in Negros Occidental Province.

The partnership aims to deliver reliable renewable energy to the national grid, while supporting the Philippines’ goals of strengthening energy security, reducing carbon emissions, and promoting local economic development. Once operational, the projects are expected to supply electricity to approximately 278,000 households and reduce carbon emissions by more than 460,000 tons annually, equivalent to planting around 21 million trees.

Over the next 18 months, VinEnergo will work closely with SunAsia Energy on engineering design and project implementation. This phase will include the selection of engineers, technology providers, and contractors to install nearly 700,000 solar panels mounted on pile structures, as well as approximately 62 kilometers of new transmission lines across Negros and Pampanga.

The project portfolio will utilize the Solar on Stilts technology, in which solar panels are mounted on pile-supported structures above the water surface, enabling the integration of clean power generation with aquaculture activities. This approach effectively leverages the Philippines’ strong potential for combining renewable energy development with agriculture and fisheries, while serving as a model for future sustainable energy projects. It also aligns with VinEnergo’s strategy of advancing the Food-Energy-Water Nexus to optimize resource use and create long-term value for communities.

ING and SGV & Co. acted as exclusive M&A advisors to VinEnergo and SunAsia, respectively.

Mr. Nguyen Anh Khoa, Chief Executive Officer of VinEnergo, said: “Our partnership with SunAsia Energy on this strategic project portfolio is a clear demonstration of VinEnergo’s regional growth ambitions. We are proud to bring forward solutions that combine sustainable energy development with responsible resource utilization. Floating solar not only contributes to addressing energy security challenges, but also provides a valuable opportunity to share Vietnam’s development experience in protecting local livelihoods and fostering the parallel growth of the energy and agricultural sectors.”

Ms. Tetchi Capellan, Chief Executive Officer and Chairperson of SunAsia Energy Inc., said: “This partnership is driven by the shared commitment of SunAsia Energy and VinEnergo to strengthen energy security, support economic growth, improve people’s lives, and help protect the planet. Through the Floating Solar model, we are not only developing renewable energy infrastructure but also creating a framework where food production and clean energy generation can thrive together.”

The announcement of this strategic partnership comes as the Philippines hosts the ASEAN Summit, underscoring VinEnergo’s role in advancing cross-border collaboration to address energy and climate challenges. It also marks an important milestone in VinEnergo’s international expansion strategy, while highlighting the capabilities of Vietnamese enterprises in developing pioneering renewable energy models that contribute to ASEAN’s and the world’s sustainable energy transition goals.

~ Crunchyroll Simulcast Confirmed! “Kagurabachi” Anime World Tour Part 1 Confirms Premiere Screening at Otakon! ~

TOKYO, June 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Anime Kagurabachi, based on a next-generation flagship title from Weekly Shonen Jump, has announced that Katsuyuki Konishi has been cast as Togo Shiba. Alongside this announcement, cast comments, a character visual, and a character trailer have been unveiled.

Furthermore, Anime Kagurabachi series will be available to stream worldwide outside of select Asian territories on global anime brand Crunchyroll.
Additionally, there are new updates for “Kagurabachi” Anime World Tour Part 1, which is set to kick off in July. An additional premiere screening at Otakon has been confirmed, and new event details for Anime NYC have been announced.

Kagurabachi (Original Author: Takeru Hokazono), currently serialized in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump, has surpassed a cumulative circulation of 4 million copies.
A stellar team of creators has been assembled for the project. Production will be handled by CyberAgent group company animation studio, Cypic (Umamusume: Cinderella Gray, The Summer Hikaru Died), the anime boasts an all-star staff, including Director Tetsuya Takeuchi (Action Animation Director on Sword Art Online II, Battle Scene Storyboards/Episode Director/Animation Director on Heavenly Delusion) and Character Designer Keigo Sasaki (Blue Exorcist, The Seven Deadly Sins). The protagonist, Chihiro Rokuhira, is voiced by Taihi Kimura, winner of the Best New Actor award at the 2025 Seiyu Awards.

Katsuyuki Konishi Cast as Togo Shiba!
Katsuyuki Konishi will play Togo Shiba, a veteran sorcerer with a long-standing relationship with the Rokuhira family. To commemorate the announcement, comments have arrived from Konishi.

Full Comments from Katsuyuki Konishi:

Q. What are your impressions of the character you voice, and what did you keep in mind while voicing them?
To me, Shiba is the kind of guy who’s carefree on the surface, but deep down, has a solid core and real strength.
I worked with the staff to make sure my performance wasn’t overdoing it, and instead focused on bringing out the effortless confidence of someone who is genuinely powerful.
I still threw in a few quirky touches here and there, though! I hope they help make Shiba a breath of fresh air for the audience.
Above all, I hope you can really feel how much he cares about the Rokuhiras, both father and son!
It’s a really tough role to play (lol), but it’s incredibly fun!!

Q. How did you feel when you were cast, and what are your thoughts on the anime?
I first read Kagurabachi when the first volume of the manga was released, and I knew right then that if it ever got an anime adaptation, I absolutely wanted to be a part of it. Now that my dream has come true, I couldn’t be happier. I’m so excited to see what kind of anime it turns out to be.

Q. What were your thoughts when you first read the manga?
Both the characters and the story are so gritty and cool! It felt like watching a movie. What struck me the most when reading the manga, though, was how beautifully the goldfish were depicted. I can’t wait to see how they are brought to life in the anime.

Q. What is Shiba’s greatest charm?
His elusive, hard-to-pin-down vibe is just really cool. His demeanor—or rather, his way of life—acts as a perfect cushion for such a gritty story. I really feel he’s an essential character in this tale of revenge.

Q. How would you describe the appeal of the series in one phrase?
“Cinematic, revenge-driven swordplay action.”

Laos Restores Higher Fuel Excise Taxes as Emergency Relief Measures End

On 24 June, Laos reinstated higher excise taxes on fuel, restoring regular gasoline tax from 15 percent to 25 percent and increasing diesel tax from 0 percent to 5 percent, according to a notice issued by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce.

The adjustment marks a return toward normal fuel taxation after emergency tax cuts introduced in March to curb soaring fuel prices and ease inflation caused by global oil market volatility.

Following the tax increase, retail fuel prices in Vientiane Capital were revised on 25 June. Regular gasoline now costs LAK 30,690 (USD 1.38) per litre, diesel LAK 24,560 (USD 1.11), and premium gasoline LAK 35,840 (USD 1.62).

The ministry also announced that premium gasoline will now be priced separately from regular gasoline based on its own Cost, Insurance and Freight (CIF) value, the cost of importing fuel before taxes and other charges. Customs duties and excise taxes will be applied in accordance with existing laws, while the fuel marker fee remains temporarily suspended.

March emergency measures

The latest move follows emergency measures introduced on 17 March, when the government cut excise tax on regular gasoline from 25 percent to 15 percent and reduced diesel tax from 10 percent to zero to contain rising transport and living costs.

Meanwhile, premium gasoline was subject to the same import duty, excise tax, and CIF-based pricing as regular gasoline, while the marker fee, a small charge used to identify and monitor imported fuel, was also temporarily suspended.

A separate notice issued on 18 March also allowed temporary flexibility in fuel taxation, permitting excise rates of up to 31 percent for gasoline and 21 percent for diesel depending on market conditions.

Those temporary measures were scheduled to remain in place until 30 June, with authorities indicating they would gradually restore normal tax rates if global oil prices stabilized.

The government has also directed relevant agencies to pursue longer-term energy reforms, including securing more reliable fuel imports, reviewing fuel pricing structures, promoting electric vehicles, and reducing fuel consumption through remote work and digital services.

The tax adjustment comes as Laos continues efforts to strengthen fuel security following supply disruptions earlier this year that highlighted the country’s dependence on imported petroleum.

In June, Laos signed a fuel supply agreement with Thailand’s state-backed PTT Group to secure more stable cross-border petroleum supplies. Thailand currently accounts for around 92 percent of Laos’ refined fuel imports. The agreement followed the March Strait of Hormuz crisis, when Thailand temporarily restricted most fuel exports to safeguard domestic reserves while maintaining limited shipments to Laos and Myanmar.

Laos has also explored diversifying its fuel sources.

In May, Russia said it was considering its first-ever petroleum exports to Laos via Vietnamese ports, while the government continues promoting electric vehicle adoption, reviewing fuel subsidies, and expanding regional energy cooperation.

Klinik Tuah Welcomes Its 10,000th Knee Pain Patient in Under Five Years

By
Advertorial Desk
-

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 26 June 2026 – In less than five years since it first opened its doors, Klinik Tuah has reached a significant milestone: welcoming its 10,000th knee pain patient on 5 June 2026. The milestone reflects a growing need among Malaysians for knee pain treatment that is accessible, effective, and patient-friendly.

This achievement comes at a time when more Malaysians, particularly older adults are struggling to access early treatment for knee pain. Common barriers include high costs, long waiting times, and concerns about whether the treatment will actually work.

For the clinic’s founder, this milestone carries a meaning far beyond the numbers. It is the fulfilment of a promise.

Dr. Hareez recalled watching a mother live with knee pain for years, as simple daily activities like walking, climbing stairs, and even praying gradually became harder over time. Accompanying a parent to treatment from a young age, only to see the same result each time: a bottle of painkillers and no lasting relief. The pain never went away, regardless of how many bottles were finished. Hearing the cries of pain every night was something that stayed close to heart.

That experience became the foundation of a personal commitment which is to help others going through the same struggle.

That same principle has guided Klinik Tuah since its very first day of operations.

Five Years of Changing How Knee Pain Is Treated

Klinik Tuah started with a single clinic in Cheras in September 2021. Today, Klinik Tuah has grown to six branches across Peninsular Malaysia, with plans to open new branches in Gombak and Penang in the near future.

But according to Dr. Hareez Noorman, one of Klinik Tuah’s co-founders, the growth has always been driven by a bigger vision.

“Whenever knee pain was brought up, the first thing that came to mind for most people was the fear of surgery. But after visiting several countries such as Korea, Japan, Türkiye, and others to study the latest advances in knee treatment, Klinik Tuah was determined to bring these non-surgical technologies back to Malaysia at a price that people could actually afford.”

“Klinik Tuah has invested in the latest medical technology, advanced equipment, and ongoing training for its doctors to make sure that more people can benefit from knee treatment at Klinik Tuah.”

Over five years of operations, Klinik Tuah has seen patients from all walks of life, including senior citizens, working adults, and those who simply want to stay active without being held back by knee pain. The majority of knee pain patients are aged 50 and above, making up around 72% of all cases treated at the clinic.

Growing Awareness of Non-Surgical Treatment

Klinik Tuah has also observed a growing shift in the way Malaysians think about knee treatment. More people are now actively looking for modern, less invasive options that allow them to get back on their feet without relying on long-term painkillers.

This shift is partly driven by better access to health information online, as well as greater exposure to modern knee treatment technologies that are becoming more widely available.

“For a long time, many patients believed that knee pain was just a normal part of getting older. Some lived with it for years, either because they were afraid of surgery, or because they thought they had no other choice besides painkillers or a knee replacement,” said Dr. Hareez Noorman.

Klinik Tuah’s approach focuses on personalised care, supported by the latest diagnostic tools and a range of non-surgical treatment options. These include hyaluronic acid gel injections, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, regenerative cell treatment, Genicular Nerve Block, sclerotherapy, Radio Frequency Ablation (RFA), and other advanced procedures.

Today, Klinik Tuah is recognised as one of Malaysia’s dedicated knee care clinics, known for its patient-centred approach, up-to-date medical technology, and clear communication that helps patients understand their condition and treatment options.

The Journey Continues: 35,000 Patients by 2030

With 10,000 knee pain patients now treated, Klinik Tuah has set its sights on a bigger goal, to help 35,000 patients by the year 2030.

This target is in line with the clinic’s long-term vision of building a future where more Malaysians can move freely, carry out their daily routines comfortably, and live without the burden of chronic knee pain.

To reach this goal, Klinik Tuah plans to expand its network of branches gradually, while continuing to make modern knee treatment more accessible, easier to understand, and tailored to individual needs.

According to the clinic, there are still many Malaysians living with untreated knee pain, whether due to limited access, fear of treatment, or simply not knowing what options are available to them today.

“The goal is clear. Klinik Tuah wants more patients to have the chance to properly understand their condition and to access the right treatment. When pain is managed well, everything else in life gets better,” said Dr. Hareez Noorman.

Dr. Hareez Noorman added that Klinik Tuah’s mission goes beyond treating symptoms — it is about helping patients return to a more active and meaningful life, in line with the clinic’s long-term commitment to reducing the burden of pain in the community.

With advances in modern treatment and increasing public awareness, Klinik Tuah believes the 35,000-patient target by 2030 is a realistic and meaningful step toward a future where effective knee care is within reach for every Malaysian.
