Cushman & Wakefield Speaks at RICS China Summit 2026, Sharing Insights into Global Assets and Technology Reshaping Under the New Landscape of the 15th Five-Year Plan


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 31 August 2026 – Cushman & Wakefield, a leading global real estate services firm, has participated in the RICS China Summit 2026. The firm’s representative speakers at the event included KK Chiu, International Director and Chief Executive, Greater China, Cushman & Wakefield, and Chair, RICS China Board; Cathy Liu, Senior Director, Head of Valuation & Advisory Services, Shanghai; and Chris Yang, Head of Valuation & Advisory Services, Beijing and Head of REITs Practice Group. The expert team attended the event and shared their insights through engaging panel discussions.

The launch of China’s 15th Five-Year Plan marks a pivotal stage in the nation’s transition from “scale growth” to “high-quality advancement,” bringing significant transformation to the real estate and construction sectors. These changes are being driven by four key forces: institutional restructuring, technological revolution, spatial reshaping, and upgraded openness. Under the theme “Global Assets and Technology Reshaping Under the New Landscape of the 15th Five-Year Plan,“ the RICS China Summit 2026 focused on the core objectives of the Five-Year Plan and explored five key areas: policy and top-level strategic planning, technology-driven industry transformation, global asset allocation, capital and asset revitalization, and green, low-carbon transition.

KK Chiu, International Director and Chief Executive, Greater China, Cushman & Wakefield, and Chair of the RICS China Board, was invited to deliver the opening remarks. He said: “This year marks the launch of China’s 15th Five-Year Plan, and is also a pivotal turning point for the domestic real estate and construction industries as they move from scale expansion towards high-quality development and upgrading. During this process, RICS is continuing to promote the adoption of international surveying and valuation standards, guidance on the responsible use of AI, and global sustainability and ESG guidelines. Through close collaboration with leading domestic institutions and enterprises, RICS supports Chinese professionals in contributing to the development and refinement of global standards during the 15th Five-Year Plan period.”

KK Chiu also moderated a panel discussion together with leading industry experts. The discussion examined the industry’s core transformation from “asset holding” to “asset operation + capital management,” and explored implementation pathways for the dynamic optimization of REIT portfolios. Panelists also discussed the impact of different listing platforms on commercial real estate valuations and examined how emerging factors, including land lease renewal policies and the recognition of data assets on balance sheets, are reshaping real estate asset values, in turn helping the industry optimize valuation methodologies and improve operational efficiency.

The industry case study handbook From Sustainability Performance to Asset Value Enhancement: Pathways to Financial Returns in Green Real Estate, jointly written by Cushman & Wakefield, RICS China and GRESB China, was officially launched during the RICS China Summit 2026.

The handbook examines the localized value transmission mechanisms of ESG performance and is built around the core premise that “green asset value is characterized by multiple pathways and differentiated outcomes, and should be assessed from a full lifecycle and risk-adjusted return perspective.” It establishes a four-dimensional analytical framework covering revenue, costs, valuation and financing, and systematically analyses the mechanisms through which ESG factors influence asset cash flow, risk assessment, capital expenditure, financing conditions and market liquidity. The handbook provides practical reference guidance for investors, asset managers, valuers, rating agencies, financial institutions and industry practitioners.

At the real estate sub-forum, Cathy Liu, Senior Director, Head of Valuation & Advisory Services, Shanghai, Cushman & Wakefield, joined other industry leaders in a panel discussion titled “From Sustainability Performance to Asset Value Enhancement: Pathways to Financial Returns in Green Real Estate.” During the discussion, she noted: “2026 marks the 50th anniversary of the RICS Valuation — Global Standards, commonly known as the Red Book, and is also a critical milestone for the systematic integration of ESG factors into global real estate valuation standards. As ESG becomes fully embedded across the entire investment, operation, financing and valuation chain, how the value of green assets can be translated into observable and measurable financial returns has become a core issue for the industry.”

Chris Yang, Head of Valuation & Advisory Services, Beijing, and Head of REITs Practice Group, Cushman & Wakefield, participated in the REITs panel discussion. During the session, titled “How Financial Instruments Can Drive Asset Value Enhancement: Empowering New Infrastructure, New Energy and GPU Computing Centers through REITs,” he commented: “As an important financial innovation tool, REITs provide an effective capital operation pathway for emerging asset classes such as new infrastructure, new energy and GPU computing centers. Cushman & Wakefield’s professional expertise in asset securitization can help clients seize this historic opportunity.”

XcanMow Mix 2000 Robot Mower Makes Its European Debut at IFA Berlin 2026

LiDAR and camera vision in place of the buried wire and the RTK antenna — Booth CCBB-154, 4-8 September


BELIN, GERMANY – Media OutReach Newswire – 31 August 2026 – Xcanbot arrives at IFA Berlin 2026 with two machines on Booth CCBB-154: the XcanMow Mix 2000 robot mower, making its European debut, and the Mate X seated mobility robot. Demonstrations run daily, 4-8 September, at Messe Berlin.

Where robot mowers fail is rarely the open lawn. It is the narrow passage beside the house, the corner under a tree where satellite reception dies, the front garden the machine cannot reach. Wire-guided mowers need a cable buried around the whole plot. RTK mowers lose their fix under canopies and beside walls.

The Mix 2000 does without both. Its XcanSense system fuses LiDAR with camera vision to map the garden automatically on the first run, with no wire, no antenna, no base station and no boundary walk, and holds roughly 2 cm positioning accuracy in shade, beside walls and after dark.

It passes through gaps as narrow as 55 cm, climbs 25-degree slopes, clears 5 cm obstacles and covers up to 2,000 m² at around 180 m² per hour. Cutting height runs from 30 to 60 mm. It works at 61 dB, carries an IPX6-rated body, and ships with 4G, GPS, a rain sensor, a swappable battery and multi-zone mapping as standard.

“Every robot mower is advertised on the same flat, open lawn,” said Zhanbin Li, founder and CEO of Xcanbot. “We built the Mix 2000 for the garden with a narrow gate, a slope and a big tree. That is most gardens.”

The Mate X shares the stand: a seated mobility robot sold as consumer technology, driving itself to a chosen destination while watching 180 degrees ahead. It appears next at REHACARE International 2026, Düsseldorf, 23-26 September, Booth 1A57-3.

The Mix 2000 launches on Kickstarter later this year. Sign up at launch.xcanmow.com for launch notice and an early discount.

V Aesthetics Holdings Commits S$400,000 to Support Dogs in SOSD’s Care

Largest single-year corporate commitment received by SOSD will support welfare staffing, improved bedding, enhanced nutrition and shelter upgrades for close to 200 dogs in its care.


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 31 August 2026 – V Aesthetics Holdings, the operator of one of Singapore’s largest aesthetics group, has committed S$400,000 over one year to local animal welfare charity SOSD through a dedicated V Aesthetics Holdings Animal Welfare Fund. The commitment is the largest single-year corporate contribution SOSD has received to date.

SOSD is a Singapore-based animal welfare organisation dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming of dogs. It currently cares for close to 200 dogs across its shelters and foster network, and relies on public support and partnerships to sustain its work.

The partnership, formalised through a Memorandum of Understanding signed on 28 July 2026, will run from September 2026 to August 2027 under V Aesthetics Holdings’ ongoing “Care Beyond Aesthetics” initiative. Funds will be ring-fenced for initiatives that directly improve the welfare and quality of life of dogs under SOSD’s care.

A Meaningful Commitment to Animal Care

The S$400,000 commitment is equivalent to approximately one quarter of SOSD’s FY2025 expenditure of S$1.54 million. The funding is expected to support:

  • Two contract welfare staff dedicated to daily walking, care and rehabilitation of shelter dogs;
  • Around 150 elevated beds to improve comfort and reduce prolonged contact with hard shelter flooring;
  • Enhanced daily meals, including meat and cooked food;
  • Supplements for ageing dogs and those with chronic conditions; and
  • Shelter enhancements at The Animal Lodge and Jurong Island to create more comfortable living spaces.

By directing resources to these practical areas, the partnership aims to improve the dogs’ day-to-day comfort, enrichment and overall wellbeing while they await adoption.

A Personal Connection Behind “Care Beyond Aesthetics”

The contribution marks V Aesthetics Holdings’ first major initiative under “Care Beyond Aesthetics”, with further community programmes planned. Animal welfare was chosen as the inaugural cause because of Founder and Medical Director Dr Ian Tan’s personal connection to dogs.

“Animal welfare is personal to me. The first dog I ever adopted was a former breeding dog. Giving him a home showed me how much a second chance can change an animal’s life, and that experience has stayed with me ever since. SOSD gives that same second chance to dogs every day. I hope this fund allows their team to spend less time worrying about financial constraints and more time giving each dog the care, comfort and opportunity for a loving home that they deserve,” said Dr Ian Tan, Founder and Medical Director, V Aesthetics Holdings.

The initiative reflects V Aesthetics Holdings’ broader belief that businesses have a role not only in serving customers, but also in contributing meaningfully to the communities in which they operate.

“We are deeply grateful for V Aesthetics Holdings’ generosity and a commitment of this size changes how we can plan,” said May Ngu, President of SOSD. “A gift of this size goes a long way, but it doesn’t mean our need for public support goes away. Sustaining the shelter and caring for our dogs is an ongoing commitment, and we’ll continue to work hard to get funding for many years to come.”

Supporting Better Daily Care at the Shelter

Animal care in a shelter environment requires consistent attention, structured routines and sufficient manpower. The two additional welfare staff will support more regular walks, play sessions and enrichment activities, complementing the improved nutrition, bedding and shelter resources funded through the partnership.

These daily efforts are especially important for dogs awaiting adoption. By strengthening both the basics and the quality of everyday care, the dedicated funding will enable SOSD to provide a more comfortable, stable and enriching environment for the animals it supports.

Heavy rain has triggered widespread flooding in Luang Namtha, affecting 34 villages and damaging roads, power infrastructure and other facilities, according to state media.

Heavy rain from 28 to 29 August caused rivers and streams to rise, triggering flash floods and inundating 34 villages along several waterways, including communities in and around the Boten Special Economic Zone.

In Boten, streams overflowed onto roads on the morning of 29 August before floodwaters entered homes and offices in the Boten Special Economic Zone, the Boten International Checkpoint and villages along the Nam Thung River.

Provincial authorities said agricultural land, gardens, homes, roads, offices and schools were among the areas affected. A detailed assessment of the number of people and households affected, as well as damage to homes, agricultural land, roads and bridges, is still underway.

Authorities are deploying personnel, boats, vehicles, shelters, food, medicine and other supplies to assist affected residents. People in vulnerable areas have been advised to follow official updates, avoid strong currents, move belongings to higher ground and prepare to relocate if necessary.

Roads Closed

The Luang Namtha Provincial Department of Public Works and Transport issued a notice on 30 August saying severe flooding and landslides had closed National Route 13 North from the Oudomxay provincial border to the Boten-China border.

Heavy rain damaged roads and bridges along the route. Authorities are accelerating repairs and have urged drivers to avoid the affected section, park safely and cooperate with repair crews.

Thousands Without Power in Oudomxay

Meanwhile, in neighboring Oudomxay Province also experienced severe flooding, landslides, erosion and fallen trees from 29 to 30 August, damaging power infrastructure.

Repairs have restored some services, but 74 villages and at least 3,817 households remain without electricity as blocked roads continue to hamper access.

A weather warning issued on 30 August said northern and central Laos could continue to experience heavy rain, flash floods and landslides through 31 August.

Luang Namtha, Luang Prabang, Oudomxay, Bokeo, Bolikhamxay and Khammouane face high risks, while Vientiane, Xaysomboun, Savannakhet and Salavan face moderate risks. Authorities have urged residents to monitor official updates and remain vigilant.

In Luang Prabang, flash flooding in Nam Bak District affected seven villages and 195 households. Authorities have begun cleanup operations and damage assessments.

WisPaper Introduces TrueCite to Help Researchers Verify AI-Generated Academic References

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 31 August 2026 – WisPaper has introduced TrueCite, a citation verification tool designed to detect and flag AI-hallucinated academic references as concerns grow over fabricated citations appearing in AI-assisted research and scientific literature.

As generative AI becomes increasingly embedded in academic research and writing, a new problem is emerging alongside its productivity gains: AI can produce references that appear entirely credible but do not actually exist. In 2026, growing attention from researchers and scientific publications has highlighted how fabricated and hallucinated citations are making their way into papers and preprints, raising broader concerns about research reliability and academic integrity.

TrueCite is designed to add a verification layer to AI-assisted research. Researchers can upload a BibTeX file to TrueCite, which validates the references against real academic databases and identifies citations that may have been fabricated by AI.

The approach is straightforward: before relying on an AI-generated bibliography, researchers can verify that the cited papers actually exist.

This verification layer is increasingly important as large language models become better at producing references that appear academically plausible. A fabricated citation may contain a convincing author name, journal title, publication year, and paper title — making errors difficult to identify based on appearance alone.

For WisPaper, the growing concern around citation reliability reflects a broader shift in the academic AI market. While the first wave of academic AI tools focused largely on helping researchers search, summarize, and generate content more efficiently, the next stage is placing greater emphasis on whether the information behind AI-generated outputs can be traced and verified.

TrueCite is part of WisPaper’s broader vision for a more trustworthy AI research workflow. Rather than positioning itself as another AI writing assistant, WisPaper is building an AI-native research workspace that supports researchers across literature discovery, deep reading, cross-paper synthesis, research-gap identification, hypothesis development, and academic writing.

Across these workflows, WisPaper places particular emphasis on source traceability and verifiable academic evidence. As AI becomes more capable of producing convincing academic content, researchers need tools that help them distinguish between information that merely sounds authoritative and information that can actually be traced back to real research.

WisPaper believes researchers should not have to choose between speed and academic rigor. Instead, AI research tools should make it easier to move quickly while preserving the ability to inspect, trace, and verify the evidence behind the work.

TrueCite represents one step toward that goal. As academic AI continues to evolve, WisPaper expects verification to become an increasingly important part of AI-assisted research, alongside generation, analysis, and synthesis.

In academic research, a particularly significant risk is not simply an obviously incorrect AI-generated answer, but a convincing one supported by a citation that does not exist. For WisPaper, the future of academic AI will therefore be shaped not only by what AI can generate, but also by what researchers can verify.

Lee Kum Kee Sauce Creates Summer Internship Experience for Local Secondary School Students

Participating in the CMA’s “Business-School Partnership Programme” and FHKI & HKSTP’s “Innopreneur Experience Journey”


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 31 August 2026 – This month, Lee Kum Kee Sauce (“Lee Kum Kee”), the century-old sauce brand, partnered with The Chinese Manufacturers’ Association of Hong Kong’s (CMA) “Business-School Partnership Programme” and the “Innopreneur Experience Journey” — co-organised by the Federation of Hong Kong Industries (FHKI) and Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP) – to provide a summer internship experience for four local senior secondary students. Hosted at Lee Kum Kee’s headquarters in Hong Kong, the programme was an opportunity to experience the company’s heritage and day-to-day operations first-hand, with guidance from employee mentors. The students gained insights into such aspects of the business as sauce manufacturing, research, quality assurance, brand promotion and sustainability, while also exploring future career possibilities.

Student interns participate in a variety of routine operations, such as going on site for a brand promotion event and restoring documents in the Sauce Archives.
Student interns participate in a variety of routine operations, such as going on site for a brand promotion event and restoring documents in the Sauce Archives.

The internship focused on three major experiences. First, students stepped into the Sauce Archives to assist with the restoration and preservation of historical documents, gaining a close appreciation of the brand’s history. Then, in the Testing Laboratory and Quality Assurance Laboratory, they undertook field observations and simulated testing under the supervision of technicians to understand how Lee Kum Kee maintains quality control at every stage from raw materials to finished products. During their innovation and technology experience session, students learned about the operation of Lee Kum Kee’s Oyster Sauce Smart Production Line and robotic arm, and tried their hand at 3D model sketching. Through these hands-on activities, they discovered how innovation and technology bring momentum and enhanced operational efficiency to traditional manufacturing.

Field visits and hands-on experience help students gain a deeper understanding of the workplace environment, sauce manufacturing processes, and technological applications.

Reflecting on the experience, the students expressed that seeing smart manufacturing and innovation applications in the sauce industry first-hand gave them a fresh perspective on Hong Kong’s manufacturing industry. Their most memorable moment was when they participated in actual operations in the company’s laboratories and archives. The students were grateful for the guidance given by Lee Kum Kee staff, which helped them to understand why every single role and working step is crucial, as how the brand’s heritage has been shaped by an unwavering commitment to quality.

Dodie Hung, Executive Vice President – Corporate Affairs at Lee Kum Kee Sauce, stated: “Lee Kum Kee’s value of ‘Si Li Ji Ren’ (Considering Others’ Interests) means that we have always been committed to creating diverse learning and growth opportunities for youth. We are active in industry-academic collaboration, and hope that the internship experience will help students broaden their horizons and discover their own interests and future aspirations. As Hong Kong advances new industrialisation and innovation-driven development, the integration of traditional manufacturing and innovation has become a general trend, and we hope programmes like this can help nurture future talent for Hong Kong.”Hashtag: #LeeKumKee

2026 ALUXE Unveils the New Disney Winnie the Pooh 100th Anniversary Wedding Ring Collection

The Honey Halo Collection Captures a Heart-Stirring Journey of Love Through Two-Tone Diamonds and Honeycomb-Inspired Design


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 31 August 2026 – The year 2026 marks the 100th anniversary of A. A. Milne’s original Winnie-the-Pooh, first published in 1926. Over the past century, the honey-loving bear’s gentle humour and sincere friendships have become a cherished symbol of companionship for generations. To celebrate this milestone, ALUXE introduces the new Disney Winnie the Pooh “Honey Halo” wedding ring collection, featuring an engagement ring and a pair of wedding bands. Inspired by honey, the collection transforms the geometric order of the honeycomb and the softness of flowing curves into a harmonious design language shared across all three pieces.

ALUXE Disney Winnie the Pooh

A Honey-Inspired Halo Illuminating a Love Made to Last

In the Hundred Acre Wood, honey is always a source of anticipation. Yet its appeal lies not only in its sweetness, but also in the friends who are always there along the way. The Honey Halo Collection begins with this sentiment. Centred on the idea of a “Honey Halo,” yellow and white diamonds intertwine in layers reminiscent of sunlight passing through golden honey. Love does not exist only in its brightest moment; it gradually takes shape as two people draw closer, understand one another and learn to embrace their differences. Just as honey deepens in flavour with time, a relationship becomes all the more precious through enduring companionship.

The engagement ring features a wreath of yellow and white diamonds encircling the centre stone and is presented in a Disney Winnie the Pooh velvet ring box. RSDW_06


Disney Winnie the Pooh Engagement Ring | A Golden Halo Embraces the Centre Diamond, Elevating Life’s Most Meaningful Promise

The Honey Halo engagement ring gathers an abundance of sweetness around its centre stone. A brilliant diamond sits at the heart of the design, surrounded by a layered wreath of yellow and white diamonds, like bees drawn towards the light and fragrance of a honeycomb. Yellow diamonds bring a warm, honeyed glow, while white diamonds capture and reflect the light, allowing golden tones to blend naturally into their brilliance—much like two distinct personalities finding their perfect place within a relationship over time. Pavé diamonds extend along the intersecting lines of the band. Viewed from the side, the elevated setting gently lifts the centre stone, as though preserving a single precious drop of honey. The promise it represents is given a tangible form: carefully held, and lovingly kept.

The women's wedding band sets a single diamond within a hexagonal setting, with yellow and white pavé diamonds extending along the angled facets of the band. RGDW006


Disney Winnie the Pooh Women’s Wedding Band | Honeycomb Geometry and Flowing Light Portray a Quiet Love That Endures Through Time

The Honey Halo women’s wedding band continues the story with understated elegance. A single diamond rests within a hexagonal setting, translating the structure of a honeycomb into a crisp yet delicate detail. Yellow and white pavé diamonds extend along the angled facets on both sides of the band, resembling honey flowing gently along the edge of a vessel. The hexagonal form creates a defined silhouette, while the diamond lines bring a soft rhythm. Refined and subtle in everyday wear, the ring reveals delicate flashes of brilliance with every movement of the hand.

If the engagement ring captures the moment two people choose to make a lifelong promise, the women’s wedding band represents every day that follows—not just a fleeting intimacy, but a steady and lasting sweetness built through the ordinary moments of life.

The men's wedding band reflects the fluid form of honey through softly rounded lines, contrasting matte and polished finishes, and a single central diamond. RBDW006


Disney Winnie the Pooh Men’s Wedding Band | Strength and Softness Come Together, Allowing Two Distinct Rings to Complete One Another

The Honey Halo men’s wedding band echoes the fluid form of honey through softly rounded lines. Its clean, grounded silhouette brings together a fine matte finish contrasted with polished surfaces, allowing light to shift across contrasting textures. A single central diamond appears like a point of light held in place, adding a refined detail to the understated design.

Placed side by side, the two wedding bands become a reflection of a relationship. The women’s ring draws on the structured geometry of the honeycomb, while the men’s ring follows the rounded fluidity of honey. One offers structure; the other preserves softness. They form a pair not because they are identical, but because each retains its own character while making the other feel more complete.

Disney Winnie the Pooh 100th Anniversary Wedding Ring Collection | Carrying the Warmth of a Century-Old Story into Everyday Life

For one hundred years, Winnie the Pooh has offered comfort in the simplest way: by reminding us to slow down and cherish the people beside us. Happiness does not always come from grand gestures. Sometimes, it is simply someone remembering what you love, or quietly staying close when you need them most.

From the honey-inspired halo of the engagement ring and the two-tone brilliance of the women’s band to the gentle curves of the men’s ring, the Honey Halo Collection transforms the warmth of companionship into three jewellery designs made to be worn and treasured for years to come.
