The lineup includes widely recognized collaborations such as Monchhichi, Chiikawa and Sanrio, alongside Singapore‑exclusive Disney Mickey products featuring the Merlion design. Selected collections made their overseas debut at the store—including the Chiikawa Sakura series—alongside the launch of MINISO’s new Star Wars collaboration collection, available from the same day. MINISO’s proprietary IP, YOYO, is also introduced with the most comprehensive product lineup in Southeast Asia, including a first overseas release of Vinyl Plush Hanging Card. The collection quickly became one of the standout highlights among visitors, further reinforcing MINISO FRIENDS as a new IP playground in the city.

As part of the overall launch campaign, YOYO, MINISO’s original IP known for its gentle and comforting character rooted in the idea of companionship, made its first overseas exhibition “YOYO’s Singapore Travel Diary”, across VivoCity from April 18 to May 13, spanning the peak Labour Day holiday travel period.

Featuring 13 large-scale installations located across key indoor and outdoor areas of the mall, the exhibition incorporates local Singapore elements and a travel diary concept, extending the MINISO FRIENDS experience beyond the store into a broader, mall-wide journey.

Centered around a giant YOYO installation, the trip-themed experience includes oversized cameras, local landmark elements, creative photo frames and interactive mirror art spaces — creating a highly photogenic environment that continued to attract visitors throughout the holiday period and drive strong social sharing across platforms.

HNS 2026 | Huawei and Industry Organizations Launch Xinghe AI Full-Scope Security Campus Technical White Paper

CAIRO, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At the Huawei Network Summit 2026 (HNS 2026) held recently in Cairo, Huawei and industry organizations officially released the Xinghe AI Full-Scope Security Campus Technical White Paper.

The white paper introduces for the first time four key pillars of campus security—connectivity, asset, spatial, and privacy security—to build a full-domain security architecture with multi-layered protection. This marks a new stage in AI campus security, evolving from single-point defense to all-domain awareness and proactive intelligent defense.

The launch ceremony of the white paper
The launch ceremony of the white paper

The white paper provides a systematic approach to building a full-scope security technology architecture and elaborates on the world’s first complete framework for campus network security.

“Security is the cornerstone of AI campuses,” said Ricky Zhu, Vice President of the Campus Network Domain, Huawei’s Data Communication Product Line. “By integrating digital and physical domains, Huawei pioneers multi-layered protection across connectivity, asset, spatial, and privacy security. This development shifts campuses from reactive defense to proactive awareness and intelligent safeguarding.”

Key highlights of the four major campus security dimensions include:

  • Connectivity security: On the wireless side, Huawei’s exclusive Wi-Fi Shield technology eliminates the risk of packet eavesdropping at the physical layer. On the wired side, end-to-end MACsec combined with Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) provides long-term security for data transmission even as quantum computing matures, protecting against data leakage.
  • Asset security: The surging number of dumb terminals in governments, finance, and other sectors has heightened the risk of network attacks. To address this, Huawei’s solution leverages clustering identification to automatically recognize dumb terminals with 95% accuracy. By combining terminal behavior anomaly detection with local inference on switches, the solution can detect traffic anomalies in seconds and proactively block them, effectively preventing network intrusions and lateral movement. The resulting benefits include terminal visibility and controllability without unauthorized access and spoofing.
  • Spatial security: Huawei’s Wi-Fi channel state information (CSI) sensing technology detects spatial security conditions through a single wireless access point (AP), preventing intrusions into sensitive areas. The technology analyzes only wireless signal disturbance patterns to safeguard spatial security while protecting personal privacy to the maximum extent.
  • Privacy security: In executive rooms, meeting rooms, hotel guest rooms, and other sensitive environments, traditional methods for detecting hidden imaging devices are often inefficient and prone to high miss rates. Huawei tackles this by launching the iGuard spycam-detecting AP, which offers three key advantages—comprehensive detection, precise detection, and 24/7 operation—to safeguard trade secrets and personal privacy in such private places.

Looking ahead, Huawei will continue collaborating with customers and industry organizations to put the white paper’s core technical indicators into practice across industries. This effort will help to drive the high-quality development of secure and intelligent campuses.

Wahed Launches First Shariah‑Compliant Single-Family Residential Real Estate Fund for All US Investors

NEW YORK, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Wahed, a global Islamic fintech platform backed by Saudi Aramco’s Wa’ed Ventures and Qatar Development Bank, today launched the first fully Shariah-compliant real estate fund accessible to non-accredited investors in the United States.

The fund is designed to give everyday investors access to a diversified portfolio of rental properties with a minimum investment of $100 through a structure that uses zero debt financing and is 100% equity-financed, meeting Islamic finance requirements while targeting 5-7% annual net returns. It is intended to set a new standard for Shariah-compliant real estate investing in the United States, where most professionally managed real estate vehicles rely on leverage and refinancing.

Until now, US investors seeking Shariah‑compliant exposure to real estate have faced limited options, particularly in the single‑family rental segment. Most private real estate funds permit the use of leverage and are restricted to accredited investors, while retail investors have faced high minimum thresholds, limited diversification and the practical burden of sourcing, selecting and managing properties directly.

The single-family rental market continues to attract attention from both institutional and retail investors. The national median existing-home price stood at $405,400 in December 2025, according to the National Association of Realtors, up approximately 60% nationwide since 2019. Zillow estimates America’s housing shortage reached 4.7 million units in 2025, while Goldman Sachs Research projects that 3-4 million additional homes beyond normal construction need to be built to address the shortage. Rental demand remains firm in many regions and housing supply has not kept pace with population growth in several markets. At the same time, higher borrowing costs and tighter financing conditions have increased demand in real estate structures that are less sensitive to financing conditions. Wahed believes a zero-debt approach is well suited to investors who want long-term exposure to real assets without taking on leverage.

Wahed began addressing this access gap last year with the launch of its deal‑by‑deal private real estate product, which allows investors to buy fractional shares in individual US properties. Investor demand has been strong, with properties consistently filling by waitlist users before being released more broadly on the platform.

“Faith-aligned investors in the US have been waiting for a real estate solution that does not force them to compromise,” said Mohsin Siddiqui, CEO of Wahed. “This fund gives them a clear route into single‑family rentals through a structure that avoids debt, provides diversification and liquidity and reflects the standards we apply across our platform. It builds on the demand we have already seen and moves us closer to our goal of making Shariah-compliant wealth management available at scale.”

The new fund is a natural extension of that momentum and is designed for investors who prefer a portfolio approach rather than choosing properties one by one. The fund is always available and provides automatic diversification as new properties are added, allowing investors to gain exposure without having to wait for individual deals to become available. Investors can start with $100, receive rental income based on their share of the portfolio and access quarterly liquidity windows. Wahed manages acquisition, due diligence, tenant relationships and ongoing compliance through a highly experienced investment and operations team.

“Our role is to build real estate solutions that meet a clear need in the market and reflect the principles we stand for,” said Ahmar Sheikh, Head of US at Wahed. “This fund brings together rental properties that are selected and managed with care, in a structure that is less exposed to changing financing conditions and interest rate cycles, and that allows investors to participate on an ongoing basis. It is a model that makes sense for investors regardless of religious affiliation.”

The US Real Estate Fund is open to non‑accredited investors nationwide, subject to regulatory requirements.

About Wahed 

Wahed is a global Islamic fintech company committed to democratizing access to Shariah‑compliant investments. Since 2015, the company has served more than 450,000 clients across 130+ countries and is licensed in 9 jurisdictions.

Applied Intuition Collaborates with Heidelberg Materials to Advance Innovation in Quarry Operations with Autonomous Haulage Fleets

Deployment brings intelligent, vehicle-based autonomy to Australia, establishing a new operating model for construction and mining environments.

SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Applied Intuition, Inc., a leader in physical AI, today announced its collaboration with Heidelberg Materials, one of the world’s largest integrated manufacturers of building materials and solutions, to deploy autonomous haulage systems for Heidelberg Materials’ quarry operations, starting in Clarence Sands, Australia.

Applied Intuition will provide its Self-Driving System (SDS) for Construction to support autonomous haulage operations within Heidelberg Materials’ fleet of construction and mining vehicles in Australia. The deployment marks the next real-world application of Applied Intuition’s autonomy platform in industrial environments. Upon successful completion, it will support the expansion of autonomous operations within Heidelberg Materials’ broader Australian network.

The collaboration also challenges the standard industry model. While autonomy solutions traditionally target the largest quarry sites, this system is designed for smaller operations, including those running just two 40-ton trucks, making it deployable across quarry sites of varying size worldwide.

“No two quarry or construction sites operate the same way, with different layouts, constraints and economics,” said Qasar Younis, co-founder and CEO of Applied Intuition. “We’ve built our platform to adapt to that reality. This partnership shows we can take the same core system used in large mining operations and apply it to smaller, infrastructure-constrained quarry sites, scaling it across hundreds of unique locations.”

For Heidelberg Materials, the partnership is aimed at enhancing safety and operational performance. It also reflects the need for an autonomy solution that can operate at large sites and smaller ones too, whereas traditional autonomous haulage systems are often too infrastructure-heavy or costly to scale. For Applied Intuition, it serves as a proof point that its autonomy platform is designed not just for one-off deployments, but for global scale across construction, quarry and mining environments of any size.

Applied Intuition’s system runs directly on the vehicle, with integrated perception, decision-making and safety systems onboard, enabling reliable operation without constant connectivity or heavy site infrastructure.

The collaboration builds on Applied Intuition’s growing presence in construction and mining autonomy and reinforces its broader physical AI strategy. The same core platform has already been deployed in other industries, including trucking and defense, with learnings from each domain contributing to continuous system improvements. Applied Intuition’s SDS platform strategy also enables the company to bring technologies proven in other domains into construction and mining, helping accelerate development and deployment.

Through this project, Applied Intuition demonstrates the range of its autonomy platform, from some of the largest mining trucks in the world to smaller quarry vehicles operating in constrained, lower-infrastructure environments. Together, these deployments highlight the company’s approach to building scalable autonomy for construction and mining from the ground up.

Ethnic Culture Empowers Local Livelihood as Life Moves beyond Poverty into Prosperity

BEIJING, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — A news report from China.org.cn on Ethnic culture development:


Ethnic Culture Empowers Local Livelihood as Life Moves beyond Poverty into Prosperity

In Gaohua Village, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, southwest China’s Guizhou Province, the mysterious Yao medicated bath enjoys wide fame. Zhao Caixian and Zhao Zhenghua, a couple born in the 1980s, keep themselves busy amid these remote mountains every day.

Early in the morning, Zhao Caixian brings back several rice-field fish from the fields and begins preparing the day’s meals in the kitchen. Meanwhile, Zhao Zhenghua tidies up the guest rooms while looking after their children. This place is both their home and an inn run by the couple. In Gaohua Village, visitors can enjoy delicious local food without stepping out, and experience a soothing wellness journey.

During busy farming seasons, Zhao Zhenghua also works in the fields, and the family always has surplus grain throughout the year. Not far away at a herbal processing site, Zhao Caixian turns over drying Chinese medicinal herbs, which are made into bath packs and sold across the country — an extra income stream from the village cooperative.

The deafening sound of blunderbusses echoes through the mountains… This is Basha Miao Village in Guizhou, home to many authentic Miao cultural customs. The men of Basha have always carried powder shotguns and knives. With special permission to own firearms, Basha is also known as China’s last gunmen’s tribe.

Gun Lawang, the village head, leads a villagers’ performance group every day. On this day, a tourist from China’s Hong Kong was invited to play the role of a “groom,” reenacting the traditional Miao wedding customs.

The village has changed dramatically since embracing the cultural tourism boom. Recalling a fire that hit the village years ago, Gun Lawang is filled with mixed feelings.

Gun Lawang (Village chief of Basha Miao Village): When the fire broke out that year, transportation was cut off, there was no electricity, and we had to use torches for lighting at night. It was a difficult and impoverished time. But now, thanks to supportive policies, our living conditions have been greatly improved. Our houses are spacious and comfortable, and we have enough food, clothing, and shelter. We are living a very happy life.

In a blacksmith’s shop in southwestern Yunnan Province, Li Chengqiang, a member of the Achang ethnic group, forges custom craft knives. Born into a blacksmith family in Husa Township, Li is part of the legacy that produces the famous Achang Husa knife.

Xiang Laosai is a national‑level intangible cultural heritage inheritor of the Achang Husa knife-making technique. Thirty-eight years of hammering have left him with hands much larger than those of ordinary people. He has taught apprentices in villages across the region — those who forge blades, make sheaths, or carve characters on knives.

Xiang Laosai (A national inheritor of the Achang Husa knife making technique): Each knife we produce supports multiple households’ livelihoods. Selling just one knife can improve the quality of life for many families. This drives us to continually innovate and invent.

Men sweat by the forges, while women move among tea bushes. Less than 100 kilometers from Husa, Santaishan Township is the hometown of De’ang sour tea, an intangible cultural heritage item. The De’ang people are known as “descendants of tea” and “time-honored tea farmers”.

Yang Chunlan is the daughter of Yang Lasan, a national-level inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage of De’ang sour tea production techniques. As a national lawmaker, she brought the sour tea and local woven fabric to Beijing during the annual “two sessions.” Yang recognizes that this traditional craft is not only an ethnic cultural treasure but also a “golden key” for increasing income and prosperity among her fellow villagers.

Yang Chunlan (Prefecture-level representative inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage of De’ang sour tea production techniques): Every year during the tea-picking season, I invite tea cooperative members to take the tea to me, and I settle the money for them daily. After several years of collaboration, many of the members who have worked with me have built new houses.

Modern industries have replaced slash-and-burn farming, and e-commerce has reached villages deep in the mountains. Today, the Achang and De’ang, both of which are ethnic groups that directly transitioned from the late primitive society to socialist society and have a relatively small population, have lifted their entire communities out of poverty.

Yanbian beef, pickled fish… As evening came, the long street banquet officially began. People of all ethnic groups sat together, toasting and chatting joyfully, as one big family.

Cai Hua, busy all day, finally joins the crowd to watch performances in Yongxing Town, Yanbian County, where the Lisu Kuoshi Festival — the Lisu New Year — is being celebrated.

This year marked the 12th year of holding the Kuoshi Festival celebrations, and the first time it was being held in the town instead of the village. From preparation to the final show, everyone worked together to let visitors experience the traditional Lisu New Year.

Gu Yan (President of the Lisu Ethnic Studies Association, Yanbian County, Panzhihua City,Sichuan Province): The outfit my niece is wearing is a more traditional vintage style, while mine is a modern take. Legend has it that our traditional clothes are made with flowers picked from seventy-seven mountains — these flowers are the heart and soul of our garments. The red and white stripes represent the mountains and rivers the Lisu people have traveled through.

In recent years, Yanbian County has built a Lisu ethnic costume intangible cultural heritage inheritance center and workshops, developed cultural and creative products, and sent ethnic clothing onto international fashion runways, showing true cultural confidence.

No grand rhetoric — only diligent hands seizing new development opportunities. In the past, “no one should be left behind” was a promise that no one would be abandoned on the road to poverty alleviation. Today, “striving forward together” is the shared journey of all ethnic groups toward common prosperity. Together, they are walking this road wider and farther.
