HONG KONG, Oct. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Phase I of the October 2026 Global Sources Hong Kong Shows opened today at AsiaWorld-Expo, running from October 11 to 14. Under the theme “Connecting Global Innovation, Enabling Sustainable Sourcing,” the Consumer Electronics Show and Gaming Show are held concurrently, covering categories including PC peripherals, gaming peripherals, audio-visual equipment, automotive electronics, personal transporters, photography accessories, and batteries & power products, with a combined total of over 4,000 booths bringing together more than 2,100 quality Asian suppliers.

Hong Kong SAR’s first Five-Year Plan explicitly calls for consolidating and elevating the city’s status as an international trade center and better fulfilling its role as a “super connector” and “super value-adder.” The Global Sources Hong Kong Shows serve as a concrete platform for advancing this policy, bringing together professional buyers from markets worldwide and helping Chinese mainland brands negotiate directly and match demand on the show floor — translating expansion plans into actionable procurement partnerships and embodying the “Made in Chinese Mainland + Served via Hong Kong SAR” approach to going global.

John Kao, Vice President of Hong Kong Shows & Overseas Shows at Global Sources, said: “The Hong Kong Five-Year Plan and the 2026 Policy Address released this year have clearly charted the city’s development trajectory for the next five years — consolidating and elevating its status as an international trade center, better fulfilling its role as a ‘super connector’ and ‘super value-adder,’ and actively supporting Greater Bay Area enterprises in going global. This is more than a policy declaration; it is a repositioning of Hong Kong SAR amid the global supply chain realignment: beyond production capacity competition, what truly determines whether an industry can sustain its presence in international markets is the ability to simultaneously deliver manufacturing capability, compliance capability, and trust. The Global Sources Hong Kong Shows serve as the concrete platform for translating this national strategy into action — enabling Chinese mainland manufacturing to connect with international standards and professional buyers via Hong Kong SAR, forming a sustainable and replicable ‘Made in Chinese Mainland + Served via Hong Kong SAR’ pathway for going global. This edition of the shows is a timely illustration of this direction: the Asian Games esports boom and the EU’s new compliance regulations are counting down in parallel, offering the most tangible demonstration of Hong Kong SAR’s role in ‘bridging standards and adding value through trust.’ Brands need not rely solely on traffic to go global; instead, using Hong Kong SAR as a launchpad, they can complete the international alignment of product competitiveness, regulatory compliance, and delivery capability — all at once.”

Esports Boom Bridges Tournament Excitement and Industry Procurement; Gaming-Meets-Everyday Becomes a New Sourcing Frontier

2026 marks Hong Kong SAR’s “year of esports blockbusters.” In February, the LCK Cup finals made their debut at Kai Tak Arena. Last month, the Hong Kong SAR team competed in the Nagoya Asian Games esports events and brought home two bronze medals. Come November, the BLAST tournament returns to AsiaWorld-Expo. With international top-tier events landing in succession and strong Asian Games results, esports is advancing on all fronts toward industrialization, elite development, and mega-event hosting. Tournaments generate more than audiences and traffic — they directly drive procurement demand for professional-grade gaming hardware, marking esports’ formal transition from a spectator phenomenon to an industrial economy. At the same time, hybrid work has become the established norm, and the line between office productivity and gaming performance has largely dissolved. Desktop setups that serve both work and entertainment are increasingly popular, giving rise to the “desk setup economy.” As the first major gaming product sourcing exhibition following the Asian Games, the Global Sources Hong Kong Shows are ideally positioned to bridge tournament momentum with hardware procurement demand, helping Hong Kong SAR integrate into the Greater Bay Area’s esports supply chain.

The Greater Bay Area is a leading global manufacturing base for PC peripherals, accounting for more than half of the world’s keyboard and mouse OEM output and over 70% of global game controller shipments. Hong Kong SAR, leveraging its free-port advantages, serves as the international procurement and cross-border trade gateway connecting GBA manufacturers with overseas buyers — enabling “Made in the GBA” tournament-grade equipment to reach global markets via Hong Kong SAR. The show floor features more than 1,600 PC accessory booths and nearly 500 gaming peripheral booths. A roster of leading GBA-origin brands — including Loctek, CE-LINK, RXGAMER, Brateck, Havit, AULA, MCHOSE, ATK, TITAN, and Huntkey — will showcase products spanning high-refresh-rate monitors, mechanical keyboards, gaming headsets, ergonomic chairs, chassis, controllers, and monitor arms, offering a complete desk setup from office to gaming in a single sourcing visit — without splitting procurement efforts across multiple events. Nearly  1,900 additional booths feature audio-visual equipment, automotive electronics, personal transporters, photography accessories, and batteries & power consumer electronics products.

Compliance-First Sourcing Becomes a Procurement Imperative; Batteries & Power Zone Helps Buyers Prepare for EU Regulations

Another focal point is the tightening export compliance environment. The EU’s new Battery Regulation (EU 2023/1542) mandates that, starting February 18, 2027, certain battery products must carry a Digital Product Passport (DPP) disclosing roughly 90 data points, including carbon footprint, recycled content, and full supply chain traceability. DPP requirements for electronics will follow in phases under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), putting exporters on a clear and accelerating compliance timeline. For European buyers, this means supplier evaluation now extends well beyond product performance to include data traceability and regulatory readiness at the product selection stage.

The Phase I power supply and charging accessories zone features fast-charging, wireless charging, and energy storage products from suppliers who have already put compliance frameworks in place. Multiple exhibitors have proactively developed products and solutions addressing the EU’s new Battery Regulation, carbon footprint requirements, and other international compliance standards. Buyers can assess suppliers’ DPP readiness on-site and get a head start on export certification and customs clearance planning — significantly compressing the decision cycle from product selection to compliant order placement.

Best of Innovation Awards and Global Sources Summit Run Concurrently; VR Immersive Experiences Draw Crowds

The show hosts the Best of Innovation Awards ceremony, judged by a panel comprising industry association experts, technology media representatives, standards body authorities, senior buyers, and the Global Sources professional jury. Phase I recognizes 20 award-winning exhibitors, with a focus on the consumer electronics sector. Two curated zones — the Best of Innovation Awards Winners Showcase and the Future Tech Discovery Zone — enable global buyers to compare innovative products and inspect samples side by side. On the experiential side, a VR immersive experience zone presented in partnership with VR Star Space offers interactive titles including Star Racing and Star Cyclone, while gaming peripheral brand MCHOSE hosts a Gaming & eSport Arena with hands-on gameplay. Multiple new product launch events will take place concurrently, with several heavyweight products making their global or Asia debut.

The Global Sources Summit also runs alongside the exhibition, featuring experts and certification body representatives from organizations including VTC, Hong Kong Science Park, Tencent, Airoma AI, and SGS to explore cutting-edge industry topics. Summit content centers on consumer electronics and the esports industry, examining how AI is redefining gaming, hardware design, and supply chain planning; how to build smarter, more trustworthy connected devices; and how to navigate global cost pressures, sustainability requirements, and European compliance standards.

SHANGHAI, Oct. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — A report from InJiangsu.

The Shanghai stop of the “Youth Painting Contest” International Youth Art Exhibition opened on March 21, 2026 at the Art Museum of Heping Park in Hongkou District, Shanghai. Under the theme “Painted Together in Shanghai, Art Inspires Sister Cities,” the event brought together nearly 100 Chinese and international young people from Shanghai and Jiangsu, alongside experienced art teachers and inheritors of intangible cultural heritage, to create a cross-regional, cross-cultural celebration of youth art exchange.

The touring exhibition featured outstanding works from international schools in Shanghai, including Dehong and Dulwich, as well as selected entries collected by the “Youth Painting Contest” from home and abroad over the years. The display showcased both the artistic accomplishments of young people from Jiangsu and the diverse, inclusive creativity of Shanghai’s international schools, offering a vivid example of artistic dialogue among youth across borders.

At the opening ceremony, Chinese and international art teachers from Shanghai and Jiangsu held a dialogue on “Eastern and Western Aesthetic Education,” achieving a threefold integration of international education and traditional culture, and of artistic creation and intangible cultural heritage.

The “Youth Painting Contest” International Youth Art Exhibition is a well-known international youth painting exchange brand from Jiangsu. Since its launch, it has connected with numerous international sister cities around the world and has become an important platform for showcasing young people’s artistic talent and promoting cultural exchange between China and other countries.

By coming to Shanghai, the “Youth Painting Contest” further expands new paths for international artistic exchange among young people, injecting youthful energy into cultural co-building and sharing in the context of Yangtze River Delta integration. In the future, the contest will continue to use art as a medium to connect more sister cities at home and abroad, helping young people grow together through cross-cultural dialogue.

SHENZHEN, China, Oct. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Arrvel is expanding its label printing portfolio with thermal printing solutions designed to support e-commerce sellers, small businesses, and everyday labeling needs. Combining compact designs with practical functionality, Arrvel’s label printers provide convenient solutions for shipping, inventory management, product identification, and household organization.

As online retail and home-based businesses continue to develop, efficient labeling has become an important part of daily operations. Arrvel’s expanded portfolio addresses these needs with dedicated printing solutions that help users manage labeling tasks across business and personal environments without relying on traditional ink-based printers.

Arrvel A42BT: Wireless Thermal Printing for Modern Workflows

A key product in Arrvel’s portfolio is the A42BT, a 4×6 Bluetooth thermal shipping label printer designed for online sellers, small businesses, and home offices. Supporting both Bluetooth and USB connectivity, the printer enables users to print from compatible smartphones, tablets, and computers. The FlashLabel Pro app also supports mobile printing, offering greater flexibility for users managing orders and other labeling tasks.

Streamlining Shipping and E-Commerce Operations

Shipping label printing is a fundamental part of order fulfillment for online sellers. As businesses process orders across multiple sales channels, having a dedicated printing solution can help simplify daily workflows, particularly for those operating from home or managing limited workspace.

Arrvel’s shipping label printer solutions are designed to integrate into packing stations, home offices, retail counters, and small business environments. By providing a dedicated device for shipping labels, these printers help users organize packaging tasks and prepare orders for dispatch more efficiently.

Their applications extend beyond shipping. Businesses can also use label printers to identify products, track inventory, print barcodes, display pricing information, and organize supplies. These capabilities make label printing a practical part of routine business operations.

Direct Thermal Printing Without Ink Cartridges

Arrvel’s thermal printers use direct thermal technology, which produces printed content through heat rather than conventional ink or toner. This method is particularly suitable for labels containing shipping addresses, text, barcodes, and other frequently used information.

Because direct thermal printing does not require ink cartridges or ribbons, it can simplify printer maintenance and reduce the need to replenish traditional printing supplies. For users who regularly produce labels, this offers a straightforward approach to everyday printing.

Arrvel’s thermal printing solutions support a variety of applications, from e-commerce fulfillment and logistics to retail operations, office organization, and household labeling. By focusing on dedicated label printing, the company aims to provide practical options for users with different printing requirements.

Beyond Shipping: Supporting Everyday Labeling Needs

Although shipping is a major application for label printers, their functionality extends to many other business and personal tasks. Arrvel’s solutions can help users organize information, identify products, and maintain more structured work and living spaces.

Small businesses can use labels for inventory tracking, product identification, packaging, and storage management. At home, users can label boxes, folders, shelves, and containers to make everyday organization easier. Independent sellers and creators can also incorporate printed labels into product packaging and order preparation.

This versatility allows a single label printer to serve multiple purposes, making it a useful tool for businesses and individuals who need a convenient way to create clear, consistent labels for different applications.

Compact Solutions for Modern Workspaces

The growth of remote work, independent businesses, and home-based e-commerce has increased demand for equipment that fits into smaller, more flexible work environments. For many users, printing devices need to occupy minimal space while remaining accessible for routine tasks.

Arrvel develops compact, practical printing solutions that can be integrated into desks, packing stations, retail counters, and home offices. The A42BT reflects this approach, measuring approximately 7.2 × 3.15 × 2.56 inches and weighing about 0.86 lb. Its compact footprint makes it suitable for space-conscious workspaces, including home-based businesses and small-scale shipping operations.

Through its label printing portfolio, Arrvel continues to address everyday labeling requirements with solutions designed around practical functionality, flexible connectivity, and convenient use.

Appreciation plaque unveiled at Fuhong Society of Macau’s Happy Kitchen Social Enterprise

Extending company’s commitment to serving community through Impact Week

MACAO, Oct. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Coinciding with World Mental Health Day, Sands China and NBA Cares co-organised Health and Wellness Day today, the fourth event of the NBA Cares x Sands Cares Community Impact Week 2026 at the Fuhong Society of Macau’s Happy Kitchen Social Enterprise (Happy Kitchen). Supported by Sands China, Happy Kitchen provides vocational training and meals to people in need in Macao. On the day of the event, a plaque unveiling ceremony was held to mark the official launch of the social enterprise’s new service.

Two NBA legends—Stephon Marbury, a two-time NBA All-Star, and Cuttino Mobley— joined executives from Las Vegas Sands and Sands China, Sands Cares Ambassadors, and Fuhong members to assemble and distribute boxed lunches, delivering care and warm wishes to local elderly residents and community members in need. This initiative will benefit a total of 1,500 individuals, and underscores Sands China’s commitment to serving the Macao community by leveraging the impact of an international basketball event to unite stakeholders from different sectors and give back to the community.

Following last year’s Impact Week initiative, which delivered boxed lunches to local communities, Sands China has once again joined hands with the Fuhong Society of Macau during The NBA China Games this year to bring this tradition of care to Happy Kitchen, a newly established social enterprise of Fuhong. As a community canteen initiative supported by Sands China, Happy Kitchen provides vocational training and employment support for local youth with special educational needs, persons with disabilities, and individuals in mental health recovery. The initiative helps participants apply their strengths and integrate into the community, while also providing meal support to those in need. Through its support of this initiative, Sands China aims to further promote social inclusion and extend its positive impact to benefit the wider community.

During the event, representatives of Fuhong Society of Macau led guests on a tour of Happy Kitchen, introducing the social enterprise’s vision, operational model, and daily operations. Subsequently, executives from Las Vegas Sands and Sands China, and Fuhong representatives officiated a plaque unveiling ceremony to mark the official launch of the social enterprise’s service. This initiative underscores both parties’ shared commitment to fostering social inclusion and creating equal opportunities for individuals in need to engage with society and unleash their potential.

Following the ceremony, the NBA legends, Las Vegas Sands and Sands China executives, Sands Cares Ambassadors, and Fuhong members joined forces to assemble 200 lunch boxes and deliver them to local community members. The event was filled with a joyful and warm atmosphere, as all participants demonstrated teamwork, putting their care for the Macao community into meaningful action.   

Patrick Dumont, chairman of the board and chief executive officer of Las Vegas Sands Corp., and chairman of the board and non-executive director of Sands China Ltd., said: “We sincerely thank the Central People’s Government, the Macao SAR Government, and the people of Macao for their long-standing guidance and support. As an enterprise rooted in Macao, we have once again partnered with NBA Cares to extend the impact of a world-class sporting event and bring support to every corner of the local community. Serving alongside local social service organisations, we are dedicated to building more caring and impactful community services. Together with NBA legends, we have engaged with communities across Macao, extending warmth while harnessing the power of sport to bring people together and promote social inclusion. Looking ahead, Sands China remains committed to supporting local community initiatives and working together with all sectors of society to foster the diversified and inclusive development of Macao.”

Grant Chum, chief executive officer and executive director of Sands China Ltd., said: “Sands China has always been committed to serving the community, and we are delighted to leverage this year’s world-class NBA China Games to bring together caring efforts from across the region and join hands with the Fuhong Society of Macau to deliver boxed lunches to people in need within the city. As an inclusive platform that combines community service with vocational training, Happy Kitchen empowers people of all abilities to realise their potential and better integrate into the community.

“With the guidance of the Macao SAR Government and the continued support of all sectors of the community for Sands China’s community care efforts, we are pleased to support this meaningful initiative and work together to foster a more inclusive community. Coinciding with World Mental Health Day, we are also encouraging greater awareness of physical and mental well-being through wellness workshops and interactive activities, helping foster a caring and inclusive society. Looking ahead, Sands China will continue to leverage the opportunities arising from international events in Macao, supporting the city’s economic diversification while uniting partners across sectors to make a positive and lasting contribution to the community, and to jointly build a healthier and happier Macao.”

Jennifer Chou, director of Fuhong Society of Macau, said: “Happy Kitchen is a social enterprise established by Fuhong Society of Macau in August this year. Through our meal service operations, we provide vocational training and work experiences for persons with disabilities, individuals in mental health recovery, and young people with special educational needs. To date, more than 30 trainees have engaged in various aspects of training, including meal preparation, food portioning, lunch box packaging, and customer service. By serving approximately 250 meals to the community each day, this initiative enables our trainees to gain practical skills and valuable experience in a real-world working environment.

“This boxed lunch and meal voucher distribution initiative, held at Happy Kitchen as part of the NBA Cares x Sands Cares Community Impact Week 2026, brought the community together through sports and wellness while extending care to those in need. The initiative also provided an opportunity for more people to recognise the capabilities, dedication and contributions of our members. By working together, corporations and social enterprises can combine resources and expertise to create more opportunities for persons with disabilities to access vocational training, gain practical work experience, and contribute to the community, building a healthier, more caring and inclusive society for all.”

The event also featured a series of wellness workshops, including a singing bowl experience and drawing sessions. Guests joined members of the Sheng Kung Hui Macau Social Services Coordination Office and Bosco Youth Service Network, as well as Sands Cares Ambassadors, to take part in the workshops, engaging in creative activities and meaningful interactions that promoted mental well-being, while experiencing the warmth of care and companionship.

Guests attending Health and Wellness Day included: Kathy Behrens, president of social responsibility and player programs of NBA; NBA legends Stephon Marbury and Cuttino Mobley; Maria de Fatima Salvador dos Santos Ferreira, president of the general assembly of Fuhong Society of Macau; Lai Fai Pok, vice president of the general assembly of Fuhong Society of Macau; Wong Hou, chairman of the management committee of Fuhong Society of Macau; Patrick Dumont; Dr. Wilfred Wong, executive vice chairman of Sands China Ltd.; Grant Chum; Hubert Wang, chief operating officer of Sands China Ltd.; and Dave Sun, executive vice president and chief financial officer of Sands China Ltd. and managing director of Venetian Macau Limited.

Current NBA players and legends engage with communities across Macao, with the initiative seeking to extend the impact of the NBA sporting event into the community and enable more Macao residents to experience the positive energy and excitement generated by the world-class basketball event.
