HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, May 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Huya Inc., in partnership with Guangzhou Broadcasting Network and Zing Mp3, is excited to launch the first-ever “Rising-Z” music competition for college students in Vietnam. This flagship event, part of the “Year of China-Vietnam Cultural Exchange,” is designed to foster closer cultural ties between young people from both countries.

As the signature youth cultural brand of Guangzhou Broadcasting Network, “Can Sing” has captivated millions of students across the Greater Bay Area over the past three years. By integrating culture, tourism, and music, the event has become a driving force for local cultural tourism, recognized as a key part of Guangzhou’s 2025 “Greater Bay Area Music Festival.” Now, in 2025, Huya Live is joining forces with “Can Sing” to spotlight regional cultural fusion, empower young musicians, and expand international outreach, showcasing the creativity and energy of youth culture from the Greater Bay Area to Southeast Asia.

Huya Live will exclusively oversee the Vietnam regional auditions, while Zing Mp3—the country’s biggest music streaming platform—will serve as the exclusive music partner. With music at its core and a fresh street dance twist, “Rising-Z” promises to create a vibrant and inspiring stage for Vietnamese college students. More than just a competition, “Rising-Z” stands for the “rising Generation Z” and represents a “musical bridge” that connects cultures. Through original works and bilingual covers of classic Chinese and Vietnamese songs, the event aims to spark a new era of creative collaboration among young artists from both countries.

This competition applies a creative competition format combining online and offline. The Sino-Vietnam International Jury is specially invited, including: DONG QUANG VINH (ĐồNG QUANG VINH) – the music director and permanent conductor of the Vietnam National Opera and Ballet Theatre – Vietnam New Vitality National Orchestra; Truong Gia Quyen – Professor of the Chinese Department of Social Sciences and Humanities of the Ho Chi Minh City National University, Zhao Chufeng – A&R and Producer of Sony Music Entertainment China, etc.

By localizing our event and embracing interactive, youth-driven entertainment, we aim to build a lasting bond with Generation Z throughout Southeast Asia.”

SHANGHAI, May 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On May 22nd, a delegation of over 20 representatives from Kazakhstan, including government officials and local residents, visited SUS Gaoling Project in Xi’an, China. Their goal was to witness firsthand how a waste-to-energy plant operates and to address their concerns about such facilities.

Traditionally, waste-to-energy plants are perceived as sources of odor, pollution, and health risks, often leading to the “Not In My Backyard” (NIMBY) effect. However, the delegation’s visit to SUS Gaoling Project transform perceptions.

During their three-day tour, the delegation explored SUS Gaoling Project and other waste disposal facilities. At SUS Gaoling Project, they were amazed by the garden-style design of the plant. Inside, they noticed no waste smells, and the entire operation was managed efficiently through digital systems. Real-time emissions data was displayed publicly, ensuring full transparency.

One representative remarked, “This plant is cleaner and more organized than most factories we’ve seen.”

In a face-to-face discussion, the delegation learned SUS Gaoling’s success comes from: 1) Cutting-edge flue gas technology exceeding EU Emission standards; 2) AI-powered digital management optimizing every aspect of management; 3) Open days and engagement fostering trust and transforming NIMBY to PIMBY. 4）Garden-style plant design combining functionality with ecological aesthetics.

As a global leading comprehensive environmental service provider, SUS ENVIRONMENT’s approach offers a replicable model for sustainable development worldwide. Through innovation and open dialogue, SUS ENVIRONMENT proves that waste management facilities can be both environmentally friendly and community-approved.
