A Signal Through the Mountains: Zhejiang Mobile’s 5G Brings Care to Rural China


LISHUI, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 29 October 2025 – At the 78th World Health Assembly in Geneva earlier this year, a rural healthcare project from eastern China drew global attention.

The mountain county of Jingning She Autonomous County in Zhejiang’s Lishui City introduced its “Smart Mobile Hospital + AI” model — an innovation that shows how digital transformation can bring quality medical services to remote regions.

Delegates said the project offers a glimpse into how technology can bridge healthcare gaps for mountain communities, where access to doctors has long been limited by geography.

For 81‑year‑old Liu Yuyu, those gaps used to mean several hours on steep mountain roads just to see a specialist in Hangzhou, the provincial capital. Now she simply visits her township clinic and meets doctors through a high‑definition screen. Her entire medical history, stored in Zhejiang’s cloud‑based health system, allows specialists hundreds of kilometers away to review her data and adjust treatment in real time.

Such changes are reshaping healthcare in Jingning She Autonomous County in Lishui City, Liu’s mountainous hometown in eastern Zhejiang. Powered by Zhejiang Mobile’s 5G network, artificial intelligence and big‑data tools, the “Smart Mobile Hospital + AI” program is bringing advanced care to even the most remote villages.

In Jingning, known as a land of “nine parts mountain, half part water and half part field,” visiting a doctor has long been a challenge. Some residents still spend an hour to reach a township clinic and more than two hours to the county hospital. With the new system, consultations and diagnostics once requiring a trip to the city can now happen almost instantly.

To overcome the region’s rugged geography, Zhejiang Mobile has transformed its service vehicles into 5G‑enabled mobile clinics. Each van maintains a stable signal on winding roads, transmitting high‑resolution images and test results to upper‑level hospitals. Inside, AI‑based software analyzes symptoms and supports local doctors in diagnosing patients and recommending treatments.

Each vehicle works as a mini hospital, equipped with more than 20 types of medical devices — from portable ultrasounds and ECG monitors to lung‑function analyzers. Township physicians can perform examinations, prescribe medication, and even provide emergency care on site. For complicated cases, they connect instantly with specialists in city or provincial hospitals through the same 5G network.

Inside the Zhejiang Mobile 5G‑enabled mobile clinic, a doctor is using connected diagnostic devices to examine patients and transmit real‑time data to upper‑level hospitals.

Local health authorities say Zhejiang Mobile’s platform helps automate the screening of chronic illnesses such as hypertension, coronary heart disease and cataracts, recommending drugs or further tests. This has significantly improved early detection and reduced serious cases among elderly residents.

To make the “Smart Mobile Hospital” serve not only daily clinical needs but also emergency response, Zhejiang Mobile worked with local authorities to connect data systems across public security, civil affairs and social‑insurance departments. The company helped build an integrated workflow that unites pre‑hospital emergency services with in‑hospital treatment.

When an emergency occurs in a remote mountain area, the system can automatically match and dispatch both a mobile hospital and an ambulance, ensuring rapid, coordinated rescue.

“When patients board the vehicle, facial‑recognition technology immediately confirms their identity and retrieves family and insurance information,” said Chen Lifeng, the director of the Dajun Township Health Center in Jingning County. “All registration and admission procedures are completed in advance, so the patient is effectively admitted upon boarding.”

Through a real‑time 5G link between the vehicle and the hospital, vital‑sign data is transmitted to emergency rooms as doctors provide remote guidance. This enables continuous treatment across the chain — from rescue site to vehicle to hospital.

Seven Zhejiang Mobile medical units now serve Jingning County, covering 67 villages and 78 regular stops. They have traveled more than 250,000 kilometers and delivered care to over 100,000 residents. For families once separated from modern healthcare by mountains, access is finally within reach.

Local doctors say 5G and AI are changing not only how patients are treated but how they think about medicine. Regular screenings catch illnesses earlier, and growing trust in remote consultations encourages people to seek help sooner.

As China continues modernizing its vast primary‑healthcare network, Jingning’s experiment is being closely watched. Zhejiang Mobile’s Smart Mobile Hospital may become a model for other remote regions seeking affordable, technology‑driven medical solutions.

Liu, who once dreaded the long trip to the city, now jokes that her doctors travel farther than she does. “They come here through the screen,” she says with a laugh. “And I don’t miss the bus anymore.”

Mastercard introduces first-ever threat intelligence solution to combat payment fraud at scale

Solution brings together Mastercard’s payment fraud insights with threat intelligence from Recorded Future to enable cybersecurity and fraud teams to reduce risk and enhance operational resilience

APAC leaders see strongest need for cyber-fraud collaboration as silos and integration gaps persist

SINGAPORE, Oct. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Mastercard announced the launch of Mastercard Threat Intelligence, the first threat intelligence offering applied to payments at scale. The solution combines Mastercard’s global fraud insights with cyber threat intelligence from Recorded Future, empowering financial institutions across Asia-Pacific (APAC) to detect, prevent and respond to cyber-enabled fraud with greater speed and accuracy.

The intelligence gap between cyber and fraud teams remains critical. Sixty percent of global fraud and risk executives are notified of cyber data breaches only after fraud losses begin, a figure that rises to 67% across APAC.[1] Similarly, 83% of APAC financial institution leaders report frustration with the lack of real-time cyber threat intelligence (CTI) integration.

“Payment fraud is no longer just a payment system issue — it’s a cybersecurity challenge that directly impacts an organization’s bottom line,” Matthew Driver, executive vice president of Services, Asia Pacific at Mastercard said. “Mastercard Threat Intelligence bridges communication gaps, enabling fraud and security teams to work together seamlessly to stop fraud before it happens.”

Asia Pacific is seeing a surge in cyber-enabled fraud, and the need for integrated intelligence has never been more urgent,” said Aditi Sawhney, senior vice president of Security Solutions, Asia Pacific at Mastercard. “We’re helping our customers move from fragmented responses to unified, intelligence-led defense strategies that strengthen resilience across the payments ecosystem.”

Mastercard Threat Intelligence offers customers the following key features:

  • Card testing detection: Real-time alerts and proactive declines of fraudulent test transactions, reducing downstream fraud and protecting cardholders.
  • Digital skimming intelligence: Quantitative data to assess skimmer impacts and disrupt card-related malware, leveraging Mastercard’s industry partnerships.
  • Merchant threat intelligence: Targeted insights to assess merchant risk and enable faster incident response.
  • Payment ecosystem threat intelligence: Weekly reports on emerging threats and vulnerabilities across the global payments landscape.
  • Payment intelligence reports: Actionable case studies and fraud trend analysis to inform strategy and strengthen defenses.

Operational silos continue to challenge risk resilience. Two in three fraud and risk leaders worldwide highlighted silos as a top concern, with 72% of APAC leaders citing this entrenched issue as their highest priority.

“Operational silos within the fraud and cyber teams continue to plague risk leaders as a high concern,” said Driver. “With Mastercard Threat Intelligence, we’re giving our customers the global visibility, threat intelligence and tools to prevent fraud and operate securely in a connected world.”

Despite the challenges, APAC leaders are also seeing the benefits of improved integration. Most (89%) institutions in the region report faster fraud defense responses following integration efforts, leading all global regions in speed gains.

The launch of Mastercard Threat Intelligence comes less than a year after Mastercard finalized its acquisition of Recorded Future, and demonstrates the companies’ commitment to delivering a unified, intelligence-led approach to securing the digital economy.

During market testing over the course of six months, Mastercard’s intelligence data helped ecosystem partners identify and take down malicious domains tied to the theft of payment card data, which had impacted nearly 9,500 ecommerce sites and were linked to an estimated $120 million in fraud losses.

Mastercard Threat Intelligence is now available for issuers and acquirers globally. For more information, visit the website here.

Asia-Pacific to strengthen cooperation and build an open world economy

BEIJING, Oct. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A report from People’s Daily:

As the world undergoes profound and accelerating changes unseen in a century, the Asia-Pacific stands at a critical crossroads. With complex challenges reshaping the global landscape, the upcoming 32nd APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting has drawn global attention as observers look to discern the trajectory of regional cooperation and development.

A recent People’s Daily report titled “An Asia-Pacific of Vitality: Public Opinion Across 16 Countries” revealed that over 80 percent of respondents believe their countries have benefited from cooperation under the APEC framework. Seventy-five percent support more active and deeper participation in APEC cooperation, and more than half say their economies are becoming more open and cooperative. The message is clear: openness and cooperation remain the aspirations of the people and the prevailing direction of the times.

At a time marked by mounting unilateralism and protectionism, the enduring belief in openness stems from both historical experience and current realities. Since its inception during a wave of economic globalization, APEC has championed open cooperation. Over the past three decades, the Asia-Pacific has cut its average tariff rate from 17 percent to 5 percent, and contributed 70 percent of global economic growth. Per capita income in the region has more than quadrupled, and one billion people have been lifted out of poverty. This is an important contribution to human progress and global sustainable development.

Today, protectionism remains one of the most severe challenges to regional development. In response, economies across the Asia-Pacific are doubling down on openness and cooperation. The high-quality implementation of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, the upcoming signing of the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area 3.0 Upgrade Protocol, and the growing number of economies seeking to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership and the Digital Economy Partnership Agreement all underscore the region’s firm commitment to openness and its collective capacity to meet shared risks and challenges.

The fast-growing China-ASEAN cooperation offers a vivid example. In the first three quarters of this year, China’s total imports and exports with ASEAN were valued at 5.57 trillion yuan (about $785 billion), up 9.6 percent year on year.

Openness fosters prosperity, while isolation hinders progress. Looking ahead, openness and cooperation will remain the driving forces shaping the future of the Asia-Pacific.

Innovation-driven transformation for sustainable development

Across the region, new partnerships are emerging to drive innovation and sustainability. In Malaysia, Chinese enterprises are building a regional hub for new energy vehicle manufacturing. In Indonesia, China and its local partners are jointly developing a green industrial chain to advance the battery sector. In Chile, China’s green technologies are empowering the growth of clean energy and electric mobility. A new industrial ecosystem is quietly taking shape across the Asia-Pacific, underpinned by collaboration and a shared vision for the future.

Inclusive development as a foundation for cooperation

Sustainable and resilient Asia-Pacific cooperation requires inclusiveness, a people-focused approach, and equitable sharing of growth benefits across all regional economies. Recently, the China-assisted permanent demonstration base for the Juncao and upland rice technology project was completed in Papua New Guinea. Juncao cultivation has significantly boosted local farmers’ incomes and enhanced food security through increased agricultural productivity.

Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea James Marape remarked, “China’s support for our Juncao and upland rice project has achieved remarkable results, playing an important role in our agricultural development and poverty reduction efforts.”

Strengthening governance to secure openness and cooperation

Sustainable development requires upholding the WTO-centered multilateral trading system and rejecting all forms of protectionism. Any attempt to obstruct or dismantle the region’s long-established industrial and supply chains will undermine the foundation of Asia-Pacific economic cooperation. As a major force in the global economy, the Asia-Pacific must demonstrate responsibility and leadership in preserving global trade norms and ensuring a stable, rules-based economic order.

“Building a Sustainable Tomorrow: Connect, Innovate, Prosper,” the theme of the 32nd APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting, captures the spirit of the times. As APEC members gather in South Korea, the international community widely expects the Asia-Pacific to continue standing at the forefront and playing a greater role in upholding an open world economy.

Moving forward, all parties should remain committed to the original aspiration of cooperation, follow the trend of history, and work together to build an Asia-Pacific community with a shared future of openness, inclusiveness, innovation-driven growth, greater connectivity and mutually beneficial cooperation, thereby contributing greater certainty and momentum to regional and global development.

SK hynix Announces 3Q25 Financial Results

–     Reports revenues of 24.4489 trillion won, operating profit of 11.3834 trillion won, net profit of 12.5975 trillion won
–     Record-high quarterly performance driven by strong sales of HBM and high-performance server products
–     HBM supply discussion for next year completed; HBM4 shipments to begin in Q4 this year, demand for all DRAM and NAND products secured for next year 
–     Company to take the lead in AI memory market by actively responding to customer demand with the best in class performance products

SEOUL, South Korea, Oct. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — SK hynix Inc. (or “the company”, www.skhynix.com) announced today that it has recorded 24.4489 trillion won in revenues, 11.3834 trillion won in operating profit (with an operating margin of 47%), and 12.5975 trillion won in net profit (with a net margin of 52%) in the third quarter.

The company achieved its highest-ever quarterly performance, driven by the full-scale rise in prices of DRAM and NAND, as well as the increasing shipments of high-performance products for AI servers. In particular, operating profit exceeded 10 trillion won for the first time in the company’s history.

As demand across the memory segment has soared due to customers’ expanding investments in AI infrastructure, SK hynix once again surpassed the record-high performance of the previous quarter due to increased sales of high value-added products such as 12-high HBM3E and DDR5 for servers.

Driven by surging demand for AI servers, shipments of high-capacity DDR5s of 128GB or more have more than doubled from the previous quarter. In NAND, the portion of AI server eSSD, which commands a price premium, expanded significantly as well.

Building on this strong performance, the company’s cash and cash equivalents at the end of the third quarter increased by 10.9 trillion won from the previous quarter, reaching 27.9 trillion won. Meanwhile, interest bearing debt stood at 24.1 trillion won, enabling the company to successfully transition to a net cash position of 3.8 trillion won.

As the AI market rapidly shifts toward inference-driven workloads, there is growing interest in distributing computational loads of AI servers across broader infrastructures such as general servers. This trend is expected to further expand demand across the entire memory portfolio, including high-performance DDR5 and eSSD.

In addition, the recent wave of strategic partnerships and AI data center expansion announcements by leading global AI players provides further momentum. This is expected to drive balanced demand growth not only for HBM, but also for various product lines including memory solutions for general servers.

In response, SK hynix plans to accelerate the migration to its most advanced 1cnm process, or the sixth-generation of the 10-nanometer technology, which is already in stable mass production. This will enable the company to establish a full DRAM lineup across server, mobile, and graphics applications, and to flexibly respond to customer needs through expanded supply. In NAND, the company will also increase output of world’s highest 321-layer TLC and QLC products to swiftly meet customer requirements.

Meanwhile, the company has completed discussions with key customers regarding HBM supply for next year. HBM4, which completed development in September and entered mass production, fully meets customer performance requirements and supports industry-leading speeds. Shipments will begin in the fourth quarter this year, with full-scale sales expansion planned for next year.

Furthermore, amid surging demand for AI memory, the company has already secured full customer demand for its entire DRAM and NAND production for next year.

In order to address higher-than-expected customer demand, SK hynix plans to expand its production capacity through M15X, where equipment installation has recently begun after the early opening of a new cleanroom, and to accelerate the migration to advanced process technologies.

As a result, investment for next year is expected to increase compared to this year, reflecting the company’s continued commitment to a market-aligned investment strategy.

“With the innovation of AI technology, the memory market has shifted to a new paradigm and demand has begun to spread to all product areas,” said Kim Woohyun, Chief Financial Officer. “We will continue to strengthen our AI memory leadership by responding to customer demand through market-leading products and differentiated technological capabilities.”
