Where city meets wetland: Dongying’s vision for coexistence

DONGYING, China, Nov. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A news report from chinadaily.com.cn:

The Yellow River Delta, formed by vast amounts of sand and silt carried by the river, gave rise to Dongying, a city in East China’s Shandong province.

Situated at the river’s mouth where it meets the Bohai Sea, Dongying has over 4,567 square kilometers of wetlands, covering 41.6 percent of its area. The city is recognized as one of the world’s first International Wetland Cities, and the Yellow River Delta National Nature Reserve is also a UNESCO World Heritage site as part of the “Migratory Bird Sanctuaries along the Coast of Yellow Sea-Bohai Gulf of China (Phase II)”.

The reserve is a key stopover on the East Asian–Australasian and Pacific Flyways and hosts 1,633 animal species and 685 plant species. More than 200 migratory bird species visit annually for breeding, wintering, or rest, including 34 globally threatened species. The best birdwatching season runs from October to April, when tens of thousands of birds fill the sky above the estuary, forming shapes that resemble a giant whale or drifting clouds.

This year’s Yellow River Estuary International Birdwatching Season began on Nov 15. Shahbaz Khan, director of UNESCO’s Regional Office for East Asia, praised the reserve as not only an ecological treasure for China but also an example of international cooperation in protecting nature.

But this remarkable revival stands in sharp contrast to the reserve’s earlier condition.

“The reserve was once saline-alkaline land, with sparse wild grasses and sand filling the air,” recalled Zhang Xitao, a senior engineer at the reserve.

Over the years, Dongying has been committed to wetland protection and restoration. In the past three years alone, the city has replenished over 520 million cubic meters of water, removed 8,800 hectares of invasive Spartina alterniflora, restored 3,500 hectares of native plants, and expanded wetlands by 5,000 hectares. Vegetation coverage now reaches 55.1 percent, making it China’s largest newly established coastal wetland zone.

Even within the city, wildlife thrives. A crested ibis, a nationally protected species, has made Mingtan Park its home since October 2024. Although Dongying is a major crude oil production center, the city shows that urban development can coexist with nature.

Here, modern buildings and flocks of birds share the skyline — a new vision of a city that becomes part of nature itself.

Ant Group Chairman Eric Jing Outlines Strategy for Inclusive AI, Collaboration on Tokenised Settlement

  • AI-as-a-Service applications will make AI virtual CFO and COO for SMEs
  • Public-private collaboration in regulatory sandboxes help to provide clarity and certainty when it comes to new technology like tokenisation and AI


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 21 November 2025 – Eric Jing, Chairman of Ant Group, said the company’s focus is on putting new payment and operation tools powered by AI and tokenisation technology in the hands of SMEs, to fully embrace the next wave of global productivity revolution.

Ant Group Chairman Eric Jing (second from right) shares insights during a panel discussion titled “Steering the Global Future” during the Singapore FinTech Festival on November 14, 2025.
Ant Group Chairman Eric Jing (second from right) shares insights during a panel discussion titled “Steering the Global Future” during the Singapore FinTech Festival on November 14, 2025.

“We are passionate about using frontier technology to support SMEs and the use of AI will really uplift inclusion,” Jing said during a panel discussion titled “Steering the Global Future” during the Singapore FinTech Festival on November 14, 2025.

Jing was joined by Agustín Carstens, Former General Manager, Bank for International Settlements (BIS); Ravi Menon, Chairman of the Board of Directors, Global Finance & Technology Network (GFTN); Ambassador (Climate Action), Singapore & Former Managing Director, Monetary Authority of Singapore, GFTN, and Dr. Razeen Sally who moderated the panel.

From Agentic Payment to Agentic Finance: A Virtual CFO, and COO for SMEs

On the consumer front, Jing expects the rise of personalised AI financial managers and advisors. On the business front, “Agentic payment is one of the most important forces driving agentic commerce and agentic systems,” Jing said. Ant will focus on democratising AI for SMEs at a time when small businesses engaged in global trade face increasingly complex payment and risk environments.

“Many SMEs may not have sophisticated digital skills or a large workforce to support them in doing business, and this is where AI agents can really play a role in helping them to navigate the landscape,” Jing said.

Antom, the merchant payment and digitisation services arm of Ant International, is using Antom Copilot to support payment integration, merchant onboarding, risk management settings, and chargeback response. Copilot cuts payment integration time by over 90%, boosts chargeback winning rates by 3 percentage points, and shortens chargeback resolution time by 46 percent.

During the Singapore FinTech Festival 2025, Antom also launched EPOS360, an app that brings point-of-sale (POS) system, payments, banking, lending, and growth support together to help micro, small and medium‑sized enterprises (MSMEs) move from setup to scale efficiently.

“Agentic AI will act like your COO, your CFO. They are stepping in as virtual financial and operational planners and implementers for SMEs, enabling them to compete globally,” Jing said.

He added that the rise of agentic payments and multi-agent systems are already on track, where autonomous AI agents collaborate to execute complex end-to-end transactions.

Collaboration with MAS on AI and Blockchain is an Exemplar of Public-Private Collaboration

“The tokenisation of money that enables global real-time settlement across borders will be particularly beneficial to SMEs and companies doing global trade,” Jing said. “On such important projects, it is necessary to have policy leadership from regulators like the Monetary Authority of Singapore, who provides institutional clarity and brings together an industry ecosystem of collaboration.”

Ant International’s deep collaboration with the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) through key initiatives like Project Guardian and PathFin.ai sets an exemplary model of public-private partnership, especially when blockchain and AI have emerged as global themes.

“We are honoured to participate in the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s regulatory sandboxes. They provide the clarity and certainty needed to responsibly deploy cutting-edge technologies while managing risks,” said Jing. “This new technology is up and coming, we cannot shy away from it. Instead, the right way is to harness the technology to get the benefits while keeping in mind the potential risks and challenges.”

Under Project Guardian, Ant International has contributed to pilot efforts in tokenised money and cross-border settlements, demonstrating how real-time, transparent and credible blockchain-based payments can benefit SMEs engaged in global trade.

Through MAS’ PathFin.ai programme, Ant International is also actively engaging in knowledge exchange on AI implementations. Jing highlighted Ant International’s Falcon Time-Series Transformer (TST) Model — an 8.5-billion-parameter AI model designed for FX and liquidity forecasting. The model has significantly improved accuracy in predicting cash flow and liquidity, helping businesses reduce hedging costs in today’s volatile global economy.

“Through participating in sandboxes, we see benefits and opportunities to improve our products before rolling them out. It has really been a pleasure to be part of that – MAS is taking a very proactive role and it’s enormously valuable,” said Jing.

Ant International, which became independent in 2024, is headquartered in Singapore. The company now collaborates with over 1,400 institutional partners and provides global payment, settlement and digitisation services to 150 million merchants, and a network of global wallets and national QR schemes that together serve over 1.8 billion consumer accounts.

BERLIN, Nov. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — From November 18 to 20, Midea Air Conditioning showcased a robust portfolio of sustainable innovations at C&R 2025, Spain’s leading trade fair for air conditioning, heating, cooling and ventilation professionals. These include Midea’s R290 series, ECOMASTER system, PortaSplit portable unit, and the modular H-Pack solution, highlighting its leadership in energy efficiency, natural refrigerants, and intelligent climate control.

 

Midea’s R290 Series reflects the brand’s “GREEN VISION BLUE FUTURE” philosophy. Recognized as the world’s first enterprise to commercialize R290 air conditioning, Midea began its journey in 2010 with an UN-funded pilot production line. Today, the company operates 12 advanced production lines with an annual output capacity of 6.4 million units. Its R290 solutions have been widely adopted across global markets, contributing significantly to carbon reduction and influencing international standards for eco-friendly refrigerants.

Backed by a research force of over 10,000 engineers and 42 pilot laboratories, Midea has developed a full-spectrum R290 product matrix. These offerings span residential, commercial, and industrial applications, reflecting the company’s strategic vision of making green technology scalable and accessible.

Another highlight was the ECOMASTER, an artificial intelligence (AI) energy-saving system that optimizes the performance of Midea appliances, particularly air conditioners, to reduce energy consumption. By continuously monitoring indoor conditions and external weather patterns, ECOMASTER executes real-time adjustments with a tolerance of ±0.3°C. This ensures consistent comfort while optimizing energy use, achieving over 30% in energy savings.

Integrated into models such as Solstice and Solunar, the system sets new benchmarks in efficiency. Solstice boasts an A+++ cooling and A++ heating rating, while Solunar achieves A++ cooling and A+ heating performance, both representing the next generation of smart, sustainable air conditioning.

The PortaSplit portable air conditioner also drew significant attention. Engineered for high performance and installation flexibility, it features a SEER rating of 6.1 and a SCOP rating of 4.0. Its design accommodates a wide range of European window types, including French balconies, attic rooftops, and horizontal sliders. This adaptability makes it suitable for a wide range of housing styles, from modern apartments to heritage buildings. Demonstrations at the booth showcased its tool-free, three-step installation process, which has already driven strong market demand and a sell-out launch in France.

Also showcased was the H-Pack, a compact heating solution selected for this year’s C&R Innovation Gallery, which spotlights low-GWP refrigerants, digital control, and circular economy principles. Engineered by Midea’s European R&D team, the H-Pack utilizes eco-friendly R290 refrigerant and eliminates the need for an external unit. Its modular, indoor-ready design ensures seamless compatibility with gas boiler systems while simplifying installation and maintenance. Combining efficiency, versatility, and a space-saving structure, it delivers a cost-effective approach to modern heating. Live demonstrations by German experts further illustrated its user-friendly architecture and practical advantages in real-world applications.

Beyond product innovation, Midea fostered professional engagement through interactive workshops held throughout the event. These sessions facilitated technical exchange and deepened industry collaboration. The brand extended its presence beyond the exhibition hall through promotional campaigns featuring its dual sponsorships with Manchester City and Sevilla FC across Gran Vía, Feria de Madrid, and IFEMA, underscoring Midea’s dedication to passion, community engagement, and high-performance excellence.

Midea continues to advance its mission of driving intelligent transformation across residential and industrial environments. With a focus on sustainability and innovation, the company envisions a future shaped by human-machine collaboration. By integrating KUKA industrial robotics and MIRA home automation technologies, Midea aims to redefine efficiency and elevate human experience, empowering individuals to pursue creativity and progress.

Tuniu Receives Approval to Transfer to Nasdaq Capital Market and Extension of Minimum Bid Price Compliance Period

NANJING, China, Nov. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Tuniu Corporation (NASDAQ:TOUR) (“Tuniu” or the “Company”), a leading online leisure travel company in China, today announced that on November 20, 2025, the Listing Qualifications department of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) approved the Company’s request to transfer the listing of the Company’s American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), each representing three Class A ordinary shares of the Company, from the Nasdaq Global Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market. The transfer is expected to take effect at the opening of business on November 24, 2025. The transfer of the listing of the Company’s ADSs to the Nasdaq Capital Market is not expected to have any impact on trading in the ADSs. The Company’s ADSs will continue to trade uninterruptedly under the symbol “TOUR”. The Nasdaq Capital Market operates in substantially the same manner as the Nasdaq Global Market, and companies on the Nasdaq Capital Market must meet certain financial and corporate governance requirements to qualify for continued listing.

As previously disclosed, on May 19, 2025, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq indicating that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), as the closing bid price of the ADSs had been below US$1.00 per ADS for the previous 30 consecutive business days. The Company was given a period of 180 calendar days, or until November 17, 2025, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. In response, the Company submitted an application to transfer the listing of its ADSs from the Nasdaq Global Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market.

In connection with the transfer to the Nasdaq Capital Market, Nasdaq granted the Company a second period of 180 calendar days, or until May 18, 2026, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company’s ADSs must meet or exceed US$1.00 per ADS for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days on or prior to May 18, 2026. Nasdaq’s determination to grant the additional 180-day compliance period was in part based on the Company meeting the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market with the exception of the bid price requirement, and the Company having provided written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the additional compliance period, including effecting a reverse stock split or a change of the ratio of its ADSs to its Class A ordinary shares, if necessary.

The Company intends to continue actively monitoring the bid price and consider available options to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement.

Guided by the core belief of “Uniting Across Borders, Generations, and Sectors”, SES 2025 aims to reshape systems, connect changemakers from Hong Kong and across the globe, foster the exchange of ideas, and build partnerships to co-create more inclusive and resilient communities.

SES2025

They will share successful case studies and valuable insights on how to connect civil society, the business sector, government, academia, and local communities, highlighting the transformative power of social innovation in driving systemic change.

Dr CA TSE, Co-chairs of the Organising Committee of SES 2025, remarked “Social entrepreneurship has been developing in Hong Kong for over 20 years. In recent years, alongside many young social innovators actively engaging in the sector, there has also been growing interest among retirees who see social innovation as a meaningful second act. With the theme ‘Unleashing Passion & Purpose for Social Innovation – HK & GBA’, this year’s Summit explores diverse perspectives—from empowering marginalised groups to advancing sustainable development—aiming to inspire changemakers to co‑create lasting solutions for complex challenges. New this year is the ‘SES x Good Lab: Social Innovation Tour @ The Greater Bay Area’, which will bring together experts from mainland China to exchange insights and share experiences. Through dialogue and collaboration, the Summit demonstrates how social innovation can drive systemic change and make transformation possible.”

Each year, we are delighted to see many new young faces, demonstrating that more creative and ambitious young people are joining the social enterprise community, bringing positive energy and generating greater social impact. In recent years, many social enterprises have also harnessed artificial intelligence technologies and innovative cross‑sector collaborations to meet diverse social needs and contribute to society. The Home and Youth Affairs Bureau will continue to adopt a multi‑pronged approach, introducing flexible and versatile measures to connect different sectors of society and support the flourishing development of social enterprises in Hong Kong”

Following the Opening Ceremony, the Keynote Speech and Open Forum featured leading voices from across the globe: Mr Jaff SHEN, Co-founder and CEO of the Leping Social Entrepreneur Foundation, shared insights on the evolution and future of social innovation across China and Asia. Professor Stephen CHEUNG Yan-leung, SBS, JP, President of Saint Francis University, examined how future generations should understand social entrepreneurship through education, particularly in an AI-driven world where integrating Social Entrepreneurship (SE) and Social Innovation (SI) is increasingly essential. Dr KK TSE, Founder of ReWirement Action HK and “Social Innovtation Thought Leader 2020” recognised by the Schwab Foundation, reflected on his decades of experience in the field. Mr Gerry HIGGINS, Founder and Managing Director of the Social Enterprise World Forum, offered a global perspective on building vibrant ecosystems and fostering international collaboration.
