Aimotion and Google Cloud Collaborate to Scale AI-Driven Automotive Marketing Globally

SINGAPORE, May 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At the “Boundless Cloud, Global Motion” Executive Roundtable hosted at Google’s Asia-Pacific Headquarters, Aimotion—an AI company specializing in automotive marketing and customer acquisition for high-ticket, long-decision-cycle industries—shared its latest collaboration outcomes with Google Cloud. Leveraging Google Cloud’s computing infrastructure, the two companies have pioneered a full-funnel commercial best practice for “Automotive + AI Social Media Lead Generation.”

Navigating Traffic Shifts and Conversion Challenges with AI

Currently, globalizing automakers face a severe marketing disconnect. On the front end, the comprehensive shift of user attention to social media, coupled with cross-cultural differences and traffic fragmentation, has created increasing pressure around content localization and conversion efficiency. On the back end, public domain traffic frequently leaks through the funnel. Operational challenges around fragmented channels and lead attribution are severely constraining automakers’ online customer acquisition.

To address this, Aimotion has partnered with Google Cloud to integrate cloud technology with vertical industry workflows. This practice successfully dismantles the business silos between traffic acquisition and lead generation, creating an automated marketing engine centered on conversion efficiency.

Hongyu Zhang, CEO of Aimotion, stated: “To truly operationalize AI in enterprise environments, relying solely on general foundation models is not enough; possessing industry-specific vertical data is imperative. Backed by Google Cloud’s infrastructure, we have integrated Aimotion’s proprietary data—including millions of car buyer personas, an exclusive knowledge graph, and tens of thousands of visual assets—directly into automakers’ social media workflows. We are proud to build this best practice for global automotive marketing, enabling multi-agent collaboration (Agentic AI) systems to deliver measurable operational value.”

Chinese Companies Highlight China-Arab Cooperation at Cairo Forum

CAIRO, May 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Chinese-Arab Partnership Conference, held under the Global South Media and Think Tank Forum alongside the launch of the Arabic edition of China’s Governance under Xi Jinping’s Leadership, Volume I, convened in Cairo, Egypt, on May 13, bringing together nearly 250 representatives from Chinese and Arab media organizations, think tanks, government agencies, businesses, and international and regional organizations.

Major Chinese companies including China Petrochemical Corporation (“Sinopec”), China State Construction Engineering Corporation (“CSCEC”), Gree Electric Appliances (“Gree”), Hoardsun Tech Group, Guangzhou KingMed Diagnostics Group (“KingMed Diagnostics”), and E Fund Management (“E Fund”) participated in the event, highlighting cooperation across sectors including energy, infrastructure, green technology, healthcare, innovation, and finance. The companies also showcased their role in supporting economic and technological cooperation between China and Arab countries.

Zhong Ren, board director of Sinopec Group, outlined the company’s engagement in the Arab world through three themes: energy cooperation, digital transformation, and cultural exchange. He highlighted Sinopec’s involvement in landmark projects such as the Yanbu Aramco Sinopec Refining Company (YASREF) refinery in Saudi Arabia and the Al-Zour mega-refinery in Kuwait, alongside its efforts to expand oil and gas trade and support both traditional and renewable energy development. He also noted the company’s broader initiatives in digital transformation and international communications. Sinopec has established Silk Road Book Houses across eight Arab nations, donating more than 12,000 books and providing over 100,000 local professionals in petrochemical and technical fields with training.

If energy underpins China-Arab cooperation, CSCEC has helped build much of the region’s development infrastructure. CSCEC director Shan Guangxiu noted that the company, one of the world’s largest investment and construction groups, has operated in Arab markets for more than four decades. She said CSCEC is continuing to work with regional partners on new opportunities emerging from technological transformation and infrastructure modernization.

Beyond construction projects, the company has also expanded its involvement in community development and public welfare initiatives, emphasizing local engagement and long-term social impact alongside large-scale infrastructure investment.

As infrastructure and industrial development expand across the region, sustainable and energy-efficient technologies are also becoming a growing focus of China-Arab cooperation. Gree Electric Appliances, a global climate-control technology company, said it is continuing to invest in energy-efficient cooling technologies designed to reduce power consumption across residential, commercial, and industrial applications.

Its photovoltaic direct-drive air conditioning systems now serve tens of thousands of buildings worldwide, helping reduce reliance on carbon-intensive power sources. Gree also highlighted its magnetic suspension inverter centrifugal chillers, which use oil-free variable-frequency technology to improve energy efficiency, as well as AI-powered multi-split systems that combine precision temperature management with intelligent controls to reduce electricity consumption.

The company said it is continuing to expand a green cooling framework spanning manufacturing, operation, recycling, and regeneration as part of broader sustainability initiatives.

As sustainability and digital transformation increasingly converge, the digital economy and advanced technologies are becoming an increasingly important part of China-Arab cooperation. Chen Rongsheng, chairman of Hoardsun Tech Group, pointed to rising demand across the Arab world for wide-area connectivity, smart public services, and emergency response systems — areas where Chinese companies have developed integrated supply chains and established technological capabilities in sectors such as satellite communications and advanced display materials.

He said Hoardsun Tech is seeking to expand cooperation with regional partners across digital infrastructure, industrial technology, and public-service applications.

Ultimately, technology must serve people. Liang Xiaodan, vice president of KingMed Diagnostics, highlighted challenges including uneven healthcare resource distribution and limited diagnostic capacity in some underserved communities. She said KingMed Diagnostics is developing AI-powered diagnostic solutions designed to improve access to quality healthcare services regardless of geography or local resource constraints.

In an interview following the conference, Yang Dongmei, vice president of E Fund, said China-Arab cooperation is increasingly evolving beyond traditional energy trade into broader industrial and investment partnerships. She described the growing integration of capital and industry as an important trend shaping cooperation between the two regions, adding that E Fund aims to support cross-border industrial collaboration through investment and financial services.

Beyond the main conference sessions, a photography exhibition titled “Through the Lens: A Journey of Shared Prosperity” was also held during the event. BYD, a co-curator of the exhibition, presented 21 photographs highlighting milestones from its more than 30-year history, as well as its growing presence across the Middle East and Africa.

As of May 2025, BYD’s electric vehicles had entered 23 markets across the region, including the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, South Africa, and Rwanda, reflecting growing demand for the vehicles across Middle Eastern and African markets.

During the forum, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, Secretary-General of the League of Arab States, presented the “Global South Media & Think Tank Communication Partner Outstanding Contribution Award” to Sinopec Group, Hoardsun Tech, Haier Egypt, Beijing Kuaishou Technology, and the Hubei Chamber of Commerce in Egypt. The award recognized their participation in cooperative initiatives and their contributions to media, business, and cross-regional exchange.

Co-organized by Xinhua News Agency and the League of Arab States, the conference focused on strengthening China-Arab cooperation across media, business, development, and public-policy sectors. During the event, Xinhua News Agency also released a think tank report titled Achievements, Opportunities, and Prospects of China-Arab Cooperation in the New Era, along with The Global South Through Buzzwords.

 

With Children’s Day approaching, what has Yiwu, the “world’s supermarket”, prepared for children worldwide?

YIWU, China, May 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Yiwugo.com, the official website of the Yiwu Commodity Market, is the largest commodity wholesale market in the world. As International Children’s Day on June 1 draws near, data from Yiwugo shows that over the past two months, “toys” has not only topped the platform’s list of popular sectors, but has consistently ranked among the top three most-searched keywords and most-viewed categories as well. The stationery sector has also posted a strong performance. Many Yiwugo merchants in related industries said that large numbers of high-quality overseas buyers and cross-border traders are now approaching the final stage of shipment. Yet for Children’s Day orders, the peak season actually began as early as January 2026.

Zhang Lijuan, proprietress of INTEX TaoQibao Inflatable Toys, explained that Children’s Day coincides with the start of summer in the Northern Hemisphere. INTEX mainly exports inflatable pools, large inflatable toys, framed pools, and related products. Between January and March 2026, many cross-border traders contacted the company via Yiwugo to discuss their annual procurement needs, with shipments rolling out in succession after the Lunar New Year. As a well-known brand, INTEX manufactures all of its products using eco-friendly, non-toxic, and safe materials. Its products are available in a wide range of vibrant colors and sizes, and feature thicker inflatable film with higher gram weight, ensuring greater durability for outdoor use in high-temperature conditions.

According to Zhang, more than a dozen INTEX products have already sold out. Its large water slide playset, a perennial bestseller, has sold tens of thousands of units during this procurement season. Inflatable water riders such as rubber ducks and flamingos have maintained their robust sales performance from previous years. In particular, inquiries from Middle Eastern clients through Yiwugo have translated into substantial purchase volumes. Currently, bulk orders are entering the final stage of shipment, and many products have already arrived at overseas ports, ready to bring summer fun to children around the world.

Zhu Qiaojun has been a fixture in the toy industry for nearly 30 years. Her company, Yan Fei Plastic Toy Firm, specializes in the R&D and production of trendy toys, squishy toys, plush bag charms, and related products. Backed by uncompromising quality, licensed well-known IPs, and a steady stream of original designs, its products sell well across Europe, the US, Russia, Southeast Asia, and beyond. Recently, alongside rising sales of plush toys, keychains, and other accessories featuring popular IPs like Hello Kitty and Snoopy, Yan Fei’s self-designed squishy toys have also delivered impressive results. Just last month, a European client of eight years placed an order worth more than RMB 500,000 for squishy toys in preparation for Children’s Day. According to Zhu, beyond the strong appeal of well-known IPs, Yiwugo’s ability to drive online traffic has brought the company many high-quality customers. Furthermore, Yan Fei has long focused on mid- to high-end product lines, using premium materials in everything from exterior fabrics and inner fillings to molds and formulas. This commitment to quality is also Yan Fei’s “gift” to children and customers around the world.

Alongside toys, beautifully designed stationery is also a sought-after Children’s Day gift, with eye-catching stationery sets and journals proving especially popular. He Renhui, owner of Henci Stationery Store, said that one of the company’s five-piece stationery sets, developed by its in-house product and visual design teams, has remained a bestseller for three years. The company has successively introduced eight themed designs for this particular set. Recently, many customers from the Philippines and Indonesia have come to purchase the product, which has also been pinned to the top of the company’s Yiwugo storefront for easier ordering. He added that the company maintains a year-round inventory of about two million sets.

These small yet exquisite products carry the joy of childhood to every corner of the world. Toys and stationery traveling from Yiwu to global markets not only embody the craftsmanship and quality of Chinese manufacturing, but also deliver the festive warmth of Yiwugo and its merchants across mountains and seas. Powered by Yiwugo’s extensive trade platform, the “world’s supermarket” will continue to bring heartfelt and delightful holiday surprises to children worldwide through its diverse offerings, reliable quality, and efficient commercial network.

Started With Power

Anker was founded in 2011 and released its first product in the following year: a 4,500mAh ultra-slim power bank. It was a modest beginning, but behind it was an engineering conviction that would shape everything that followed. If technology is going to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives, it has to be built to the highest possible standard.

2012 – The Beginning
Anker’s first product: a 4,500mAh ultra-slim power bank – the start of a commitment to putting well-engineered, reliable power in people’s hands.

2013 – PowerIQ™
Introduced PowerIQ™, enabling fast-charging compatibility across both iOS and Android – setting the standard for universal charging intelligence.

GaNPrime™ 2.0 (most advanced fast charging), PowerIQ™ 5.0 (smartest compatibility), AnkerSense™ View (intelligent display technology), and TurboBoost™ for ultra-fast power bank recharging. The pursuit never stops.

PowerIQ™ 5.0
PowerIQ™ 5.0

Fifteen years. Eight technology generations. Every breakthrough driven by one and only promise: seeking the ultimate innovation, not as an end in itself, but because technology built to its highest standard is how we put the possibilities people want in their lives within reach. Technology in service of people. That is what this pursuit has always meant.

Today’s Milestone: Anker Thus™

For 80 years, chip design has followed the same logic established by John von Neumann in 1945: separate the processor from memory, and shuttle data between them one instruction at a time. For eight decades across mainframes, desktops, and data centers, this model worked. AI breaks that assumption. A neural network draws on millions of learned parameters all at once – and in a wearable device, moving that data between memory and processor consumes more than 90 percent of chip power, leaving almost nothing for actual computation.

THUS™ applies a different principle: embed computation directly inside NOR Flash memory cells, where the model already lives. The model parameters never have to move. The energy previously consumed by data movement is redirected entirely to computation.

The first THUS™ AI chip debuts in earbuds, delivering up to 150 times more AI computing power on the environmental noise cancellation task than Anker’s previous-generation flagship earphones.

Anker Thus™ AI Chip
Anker Thus™ AI Chip

Clear Calls – the chip’s first disclosed feature – runs a large neural network entirely on-device, anchored by eight MEMS microphones and two bone conduction sensors, for a significantly clear call in any environment. Additional AI-powered features including Signature Sound and Voice Control debuted at Anker Day.

“Every AI chip built until now stores the model on one side and does the computation on the other. To think, the device has to carry all those parameters across, many times per second, every single inference. THUS™ puts the computation where the model already lives. The model never has to move again.”

– Steven Yang, Founder and CEO, Anker Innovations

THUS™ takes inspiration from “Thus have I heard”, a Buddhist phrase that reflects direct transmission – knowledge conveyed as it was experienced, without distortion.

All performance figures are based on internal Anker lab tests. The 150× AI computing power figure applies specifically to the environmental noise cancellation task and reflects the architectural change from rule-based to neural-net AI processing. It is not a general performance claim and does not reflect a process node upgrade. The environmental noise cancellation workload referenced here runs as an on-device neural network model on the first THUS™ chip.

Anker soundcore Liberty 5 Pro: The First Product Powered by Anker Thus™

The soundcore Liberty 5 Pro and Liberty 5 Pro Max are the first two products to ship with the THUS™ chip. Their positioning is organized around three on-device intelligence layers the chip enables – understanding, adapting, and tuning – each representing a function earbuds could not credibly perform before neural-net AI became viable at this scale. Coming to the market soon.

15 Years, One Promise

From our first power bank to a proprietary AI chip in 2026 – the categories we build in keep expanding, and so does the scope of what technology can do for people’s lives. Our promise has been one and only, seeking the ultimate innovation, with the conviction that technology built to its highest standard makes the possibilities people want in their lives the ones they can actually live. Fifteen years is long enough to know that trust is earned slowly. Fifteen years in. The pursuit continues.

About Anker Innovations

Anker Innovations is a global consumer technology company driven by ultimate innovation, creating products that help people power, create, connect, and live more freely. Founded in 2011, Anker Innovations serves more than 200 million consumers across 146 countries and regions. Learn more at anker.com.

Phancy Group Announces Strong 2026 First Quarter Results

Revenue Up 35.4% Year-on-Year API Token Call Volume Surges Nearly 6 Times


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 22 May 2026 – Phancy Group Co., Ltd. (“Phancy” or “The Company”, stock code: 6682.HK), a leading general artificial intelligence company, today announced its unaudited consolidated results for the first quarter ended 31 March 2026.

During the period, Phancy achieved revenue of approximately RMB1.458 billion, representing a 35.4% year-on-year increase. Gross profit margin remained at 35.1%. Phancy leveraged its deep expertise in full-stack AI cloud services, to capitalize on the accelerating adoption of localized computing power and strong enterprise demand for AI solutions. The Company achieved robust growth in its core businesses, accelerated product innovation, and secured several major partnerships, sustaining strong operational momentum.

2026 First Quarter Business Highlights:

Unified Enterprise AI Platform Drives Explosive Core Business Growth

Global computing resources remain constrained, while demand for both private enterprise AI deployments and API-based model calls continues to grow rapidly. Phancy’s enterprise-grade AI platform is built on a unified core architecture that seamlessly supports both API calling scenarios and dedicated private deployments. This significantly boosts AI application efficiency and resource utilization. Supported by a mature computing power supply chain developed over many years, Phancy’s deployable computing power resources have increased by over 200%. This enables the Company to effectively meet surging Token demand and consistently deliver stable, high-quality AI services to its customers.

In the first quarter of 2026, API Token call volume surged nearly 6 times compared to the same period in 2025, and already accounted for nearly 40% of the full-year 2025 total. Meanwhile, the Agentic AI business expanded rapidly, with deepening commercial adoption. Orders on hand grew nearly 100% compared to the end of 2025, emerging as a major growth driver for the Company.

AI Technology Iteration Accelerates, Commercialization Beats Expectations

Building on its continued push into digital employee applications and AI empowerment across business units, Phancy has significantly shortened the product development cycle from R&D to commercialization, enhancing overall operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.

As of mid-May 2026, ModelHub XC has completed adaptation and optimization for over 70,000 AI models on domestic chips, achieving more than 70% of its full-year target – well ahead of schedule.

In May, Phancy launched PhanthyMovie, a professional-grade AI video generation platform designed to enhance creativity, control, and stability in video production, enabling standardized and large-scale content creation for the industry.

Leveraging its advanced technology and proven execution capabilities, PhanthyMovie achieved rapid commercial traction. Just days after launch, the Company entered into a strategic cooperation agreement with Huanxi Media, covering approximately US$200 million in AI Token usage. The two parties will also collaborate on the development of a next-generation AI-powered film and television content production platform, further strengthening Phancy’s position in the AI-driven cultural and creative sector.

Core Products Align Closely with Policy Trends, Strengthening Compute-Model Integration

Since May 2026, China’s AI sector has seen a series of positive policy developments focused on computing infrastructure, data element circulation, and open-source compliance governance. Phancy’s core products, including HAMi vGPU and ModelHub XC, are well-aligned with national policy directions and mainstream industry trends.

In terms of computing resource allocation, policies emphasize cross-regional collaboration and broader access to computing power. Phancy’s HAMi vGPU offers unified scheduling and fine-grained resource partitioning, effectively improving utilization rates, optimizing data center energy efficiency, and supporting unified management across multiple chips to boost single-card efficiency.

In data and model governance, the government continues to promote high-quality dataset development and compliance management. ModelHub XC supports multi-model adaptation and optimization, incorporates data traceability and security certification features to help enterprises reduce compliance risks, and uses the EngineX engine for batch adaptation of domestic chips and models. This significantly improves compatibility while enhancing Token output efficiency through targeted model tuning.

Through deep integration of its computing and model layers, Phancy has built a comprehensive “Compute–Model” integrated solution. This addresses key industry needs such as efficient computing utilization, secure data supply, enterprise compliance, and domestic substitution, while strengthening its technological moat. The Company is well positioned to capture policy dividends and industry opportunities, supporting enterprises in their digital and intelligent transformation.
