Think Tank Report The Jiangsu Practice of Humanomics Released

NANJING, China, Jan. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On January 30, Xinhua News Agency Jiangsu Branch released the think tank report The Jiangsu Practice of Humanomics at the Release Conference on Research Outcomes of Humanomics held in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province. Comprising approximately 33,000 words across five sections, the report offers a systematic exploration of Jiangsu’s distinctive foundations, dynamic vitality, growth pathways, developmental objectives, and capability advancement in the practice of Humanomics.

The Jiangsu Practice of Humanomics (A Think Tank Report)

Jiangsu’s humanistic tradition has grown alongside its economic prosperity, with the two reinforcing one another, making the province a representative case for the study of Humanomics. Its cultural landscape—characterized by “unity in diversity” and “harmony without uniformity”—has become a defining hallmark of Jiangsu’s humanistic ethos, while also serving as a wellspring of inspiration for sustained economic and social innovation.

The report underscores the importance of accurately grasping the integrative and dialectical relationships at the heart of Jiangsu’s practice of Humanomics. On one hand, culture empowers growth by unleashing endogenous momentum: the “Four Thousands and Four Tens of Thousands” spirit, symbolizing the intrinsic drive and cultural character that Jiangsu people bring to economic development, together with Suzhou’s “Three Strategic Strengths”, representing the systematic practices and institutional innovations guiding regional development, jointly foster strong cohesion. Shared values—respect for culture and virtue, pursuit of excellence and pragmatism, and openness and inclusiveness—serve to guide economic progress. At the same time, the integration of cultural industries with other sectors has given rise to new engines of growth. On the other hand, innovation in economic resources and technology, the progressive evolution of economic models, and the aggregation and creative recombination of economic factors continuously enrich cultural content and expression. Together, these dynamics culminate in a contemporary landscape in which material and spiritual civilization advance in tandem.

The report notes that Jiangsu’s practice of Humanomics has consistently prioritized both the enhancement of public well-being and the comprehensive development of its people. The province has long allocated more than 75 percent of its general public expenditure budget to public services, has established a lifelong education system accessible to all, and has maintained public satisfaction with the ecological environment at over 90 percent.

The think tank report The Jiangsu Practice of Humanomics was jointly produced by the Publicity Department of the CPC Jiangsu Provincial Committee and Xinhua News Agency Jiangsu Branch.

Castrol Unites Asia-Pacific’s Superbike Community with Launch of Castrol Superbike Fest APAC 2026

HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, Jan. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Castrol, a global leader in lubricants, launched the Castrol Superbike Fest APAC 2026 on January 28th – kicking off a region-wide premium superbike movement designed to connect Asia-Pacific’s most passionate superbike riders, specialist workshops and high-performance products, on one unified platform.

More than a festival, the Castrol Superbike Fest APAC 2026 is part of Castrol’s long-term strategy to redefine the meaning of “top premium” in the motorcycle category across Asia-Pacific – blending performance, community, lifestyle and engineering excellence into a single experiential ecosystem.

Taking place in Nha Trang, Vietnam, from 29 to 31 May 2026, the three-day festival seeks to bring together over 2,000 bikers comprising over 100 official biker clubs as well as across performance teams, racers and social riders from eight Asia-Pacific markets, including Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Laos, Cambodia and the Philippines.

Launched by Castrol AsPAC Marketing, the event is the flagship activation of the Castrol Superbike ASPAC Alliance, a region-wide platform connecting premium biker communities, expert service partners and Castrol’s high-performance product portfolio. Designed as a scalable, long-term movement, the Alliance transforms rider passion into brand trust, loyalty and business impact.

“The Castrol Superbike Fest APAC 2026 is not a one-off event but is instead a long-term strategic platform that brings together performance and people united by an enduring passion for superbikes,” said Victor Cheong, Marketing Director, Castrol Asia Pacific.

“Superbike culture represents the pinnacle of aspiration, engineering and passion. By uniting this community across borders, we are elevating Castrol’s premium positioning and building deeper emotional connections with riders and workshops across the region,” he added.

The Castrol Superbike Fest APAC 2026 will be preceded by an international cross-country riding tour, with bikers from Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia and Laos riding towards the event in Vietnam through regional routes, symbolising unity and connection across ASEAN.

The main festival will be staged across multiple iconic locations in Nha Trang, linking urban centres and coastal landscapes into a single integrated event circuit. Over three days and two nights, riders and fans will experience:

Performance & Riding

  • Superbike performance demonstrations and handling competitions
  • Adventure and off-road challenges involving other motorcycle categories

Exhibition & Industry

  • Rare, custom and iconic superbikes from leading global brands
  • Interactive product and technology showcases

Culture & Lifestyle

  • Opening and Closing Parade Rides
  • Community networking and discussion sessions
  • Lifestyle and entertainment zones celebrating modern biker culture, including a Welcome Gala and Outdoor Closing Gala
  • Post-festival touring journey across more than 200km covering Nha Trang, Ninh Thuan, Binh Thuan and Da Lat to explore iconic landscapes and experience local culture

At the heart of the festival is the Castrol HOMELAND Experience, where riders and workshop owners can access product trials, oil changes, technical inspections and live riding clinics – experiencing Castrol’s performance promise and the quality, reliability and endurance of its product portfolio showcased through real action in real-world conditions.

The Castrol Superbike Fest APAC is built on Castrol’s belief that superbike culture represents the highest expression of performance, precision and engineering excellence. By embedding Castrol into the heart of this culture, the brand strengthens its position as the trusted partner for riders who demand more from their machines — and from themselves.

The platform is supported by Castrol’s premium product portfolio, including Castrol POWER1 Ultimate, engineered to deliver maximum performance under extreme riding conditions.

“Under the most demanding riding conditions – high speed, rugged terrain, and constant technical demands, Castrol lubricants cool, protect and perform to the highest standards, offering consistent outcomes throughout every challenge,” added Victor. “This is where premium is proven, not in words, but in action.”

Beyond performance, the Castrol Superbike Fest APAC also captures the lifestyle dimension of modern motorcycling — where riders are creators, explorers and cultural connectors. From long-distance touring and custom builds to social content and community gatherings, the festival reflects how superbike culture has evolved into a movement that synthesises performance, style and identity.

Reinforcing Thailand’s position as a trusted, high-quality destination through emotion-driven storytelling


BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 30 January 2026 -The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is creating a new wave of momentum for Thai tourism, reinforcing the ‘Trusted Thailand’ image and elevating the nation towards becoming a ‘Quality Destination’ with its latest TVC, “Feel All The Feelings,” featuring a story narrated by the Amazing Thailand Ambassador “Lalisa LISA Manobal”, a world-renowned rapper, singer, dancer and actor.

TVC "Feel All The Feelings"

The film sets to entice tourists to experience and discover the multitude of feelings to be gained from travelling in Thailand, including happiness, serenity, excitement, challenge, and warmth, to establish Thailand as a valuable and unforgettable travel destination.

Ms Thapanee Kiatphaibool, Governor of the TAT, revealed, “This year, the TAT remains committed to reinforcing Thailand’s image through the ‘Trusted Thailand’ strategy to warmly welcome tourists, while continuing its push to establish Thailand as a ‘Quality Leisure Destination.’ This is to build confidence among tourists who want to create valuable, unforgettable memories at every step of their journey. Recently, we launched the ‘Feel All The Feelings’ campaign, building widespread communication and awareness across various channels. We are kicking off the year with a new commercial featuring ‘Lalisa LISA Manobal’ as the Amazing Thailand Ambassador, who will showcase Thailand’s tourist attractions and the feelings evoked on each visit. The campaign aims to ‘enhance quality’ while distributing revenue and tourists to new potential areas. TAT cordially invites all Thais to be ‘good hosts’ and share memorable Thai travel experiences.

TVC ‘Feel All The Feelings‘ by TAT portrays unseen attractions and diverse emotions awaiting tourists to discover and experience in Thailand. The story’s inception was inspired by tourists’ desire to seek a range of experiences that fulfil them emotionally and spiritually, helping them ‘Feel Alive’ again. TAT is confident that Thailand can be the answer and add vivid hues to tourists’ lives, as we are a land of diversity, colour, and vitality, ready to offer an exceptional experience for visitors to feel every emotion, from happiness, serenity, excitement, and challenge, to the warmth of smiles and hospitality, the intriguing mystery of new places, and the wonder of unseen locations. We believe that every area and every journey in Thailand will not only create impressive memories but also deliver ‘feelings’ that greatly enrich the travel experience.”

In this ad, Lalisa ‘LISA’ Manobal, in her role as the Amazing Thailand Ambassador, invites everyone to experience the ‘feelings within Thailand’. LISA is often asked, “What does Thailand feel like?” and she reveals the feelings she experiences while resting and recharging in Thailand in the commercial, through every emotion, every feeling, and every rhythm of Thailand’s beauty, which is unlike anywhere else in the world. The production also features renowned stars and actors such as Win – Metawin Opas–iamkajorn, Gulf – Kanawut Traipipattanapong, and Blue – Pongtiwat Tangwancharoen, who join the journey and convey these feelings together.

The TVC showcases beautiful locations nationwide, starting with the captivating beauty of the Lanna Candle Ceremony (Phang Prateep) at Wat Chedi Luang in Chiang Mai province, followed by a spectacular view of the ‘floating pagodas’ in Lampang province. Viewers can marvel at the sea of mist at Phu Langka in Phayao province. The ads also features attractions in other regions to show that, wherever you are, there is always something to discover. Examples include experiencing the beauty of the first light of dawn at Wat Arun in Bangkok, the splendour of the Red Lotus Sea in Udon Thani province, or experiencing the sound of the cascading waters of
Thi Lo Su Waterfall in Tak province.

Furthermore, the “Feel All the Feelings“ campaign aims is to shift tourists from popular landmarks to hidden-gem destinations, increasing the quality of their spending and the value per trip, in line with the “Value over Volume” strategy.

Laos Targets Upper-Middle-Income Status by 2035 Through Growth and Fiscal Reform

Laos economic growth and development strategy toward upper-middle-income status
the 2025 financial performance review and 2026 policy direction meeting

The Lao government has reaffirmed its long-term development ambitions, linking sustained economic growth and tighter fiscal management to a goal of reaching upper-middle-income status by 2035.

Speaking at the 2025 financial performance review and 2026 policy direction meeting on 29 January, Minister of Finance Santiphap Phomvihane told state media that Laos aims to reach upper-middle-income status by 2035, with per capita income of USD 4,600–5,000.

For comparison, while official income data by province is not publicly available, Vientiane Capital currently records the country’s highest GDP per capita, at LAK 85.17 million (approximately USD 3,957), with levels in other provinces remaining significantly lower.

According to the minister, the government plans to sustain average economic growth of 6–7 percent over the coming decade to meet this target. The strategy aligns with national socio-economic development plans and the country’s long-term development vision.

To support the transition, authorities plan to restructure the economy by prioritizing seven key sectors identified as major growth drivers. These sectors are expected to improve productivity, expand the economic base, and raise household incomes.

Fiscal reform will play a central role in the strategy. For 2026, state revenue is projected at 20.02 percent of GDP, supported by measures to broaden the tax base, strengthen revenue collection, reduce non-compliant tax exemptions, and expand the use of digital systems in tax administration. 

On the spending side, the government plans to tighten budget controls and strengthen oversight from planning through auditing.

Past performance

Officials also highlighted progress under the National Socio-Economic Development Plan (2021–2025). Laos recorded economic growth of 4.8 percent in 2025, with average growth of 4.24 percent over the five-year period. Inflation eased to around 8.8 percent, while macroeconomic stability improved and poverty levels declined in line with national targets.

Building on these gains, authorities said sustained reforms, disciplined fiscal management, and steady growth in priority sectors will be critical for Laos to achieve its 2035 income goal and move into the upper-middle-income category.
