STOCKHOLM, March 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Aduna, a landmark venture between some of the world’s leading telecom operators and Ericsson, is set to partner with Bridge Alliance to accelerate the adoption of CAMARA-based network Application Programming Interfaces (APIs).

The partnership with Bridge Alliance marks another first for Aduna by expanding its global ecosystem through partner program agreements. As growing numbers of Bridge Alliance members embrace network APIs, the new agreement will form the basis for Aduna to work with Bridge Alliance members.

In return, enterprise customers of Bridge Alliance members working with Aduna will be able to tap the benefits of Aduna’s global reach and rapidly growing mobile operator ecosystem. Aduna developer platform partners – including Google Cloud, InfoBip, Sinch and Vonage – will enjoy direct access to Bridge Alliance partner networks working with Aduna.

The new partnership will build on Aduna’s rapid momentum to drive and deliver true global scale in the network API ecosystem for developers and enterprises. In addition to vastly increasing the market reach for developers already working with Bridge Alliance – and adding substantial numbers to Aduna’s global developer ecosystem – the new partnership will also increase market reach for the millions of developers already in the Aduna ecosystem.

Dr. Ong Geok Chwee, CEO, Bridge Alliance, says: “This collaboration demonstrates the spirit of partnership that Bridge Alliance stands for. Together with Aduna, we are enabling a broader ecosystem of APIs. Enterprise customers will be able to consume telco APIs for their regional business with ease. More importantly, all parties benefit from our streamlined technical and commercial framework when working with network APIs.”

Anthony Bartolo, CEO, Aduna, says: “Aduna is at the forefront of changing the mobile connectivity industry and creating new monetization opportunities. Providing developers with ubiquitous access to open, programmable network functionality through common APIs will empower them to innovate at hyperscale. This partnership with Bridge Alliance accelerates Aduna’s aims by offering telecom operators and developers unparalleled access to harmonized network APIs across partners’ networks, while offering all Bridge Alliance members access to network APIs across Aduna global partner network.”

Launched in September 2024, Aduna combines and sells network APIs globally, with a vision that new applications will work anywhere, and on any network, paving the way for developers to innovate much more quickly and easily. Aduna’s partners already span significant coverage across mobile network markets globally.

Aduna and Bridge Alliance will also join forces in support of critical global standardization efforts (such as GSMA Open Gateway, CAMARA and TMF).

Network APIs are key to driving a new era of opportunity in the telecom industry. Easily accessible advanced network capabilities are empowering developers to create new use cases across multiple sectors.

Hospital Kuala Lumpur & Rare Disease Patient Organizations Nationwide Celebrate Rare Disease Day 2025

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, March 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — For the first time, Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL) is proudly hosting the annual Rare Disease Day 2025 celebration to raise awareness and advocate for individuals affected by rare diseases in Malaysia. This milestone event is organized by the Department of Genetics, Hospital Kuala Lumpur, in collaboration with Pharm-D Health Science, the main sponsor, alongside various patient advocacy groups.

With the theme “More Than You Can Imagine”, this global initiative aims to highlight the challenges faced by rare disease patients, including delays in diagnosis, limited access to genetic testing, and the high cost of treatment.

Speaking at the event, Dato’ Dr. Harikrishna a/l K. Ragavan Nair, Director of Hospital Kuala Lumpur, emphasized the need for stronger policies and diversified funding options to improve access to genetic testing and treatment for rare disease patients.

“Rare diseases impact more individuals than we realize – 1 in 17 people worldwide. This means that each of us likely knows someone living with a rare disease, whether they are a family member, a colleague, or a friend. Today’s event is not just a celebration but a movement that brings together healthcare professionals, researchers, policymakers, patient advocacy groups, and industry leaders to work towards better diagnosis, treatment, and quality of life for these patients,” said Dato’ Dr. Harikrishna.

This year’s Rare Disease Day celebration emphasizes the need for equity in healthcare, support, and opportunities for the rare disease community in Malaysia. With many Malaysians affected by rare diseases, ensuring fair access to timely diagnosis, treatment, and social inclusion is more crucial than ever.

Head of the Genetics Department Hospital Kuala Lumpur, Dr. Ngu Lock Hock, further underscored the importance of collective efforts in supporting rare disease patients. “Malaysia officially defined rare diseases in 2020 as life-threatening or chronically debilitating conditions affecting fewer than 1 in 4,000 individuals. Over 70% of rare diseases are genetic, and many cases involve children. At HKL’s Genetics Department, we have provided consultations to over 10,000 families and conduct around 1,000 genetic tests annually.

These efforts are made possible through the strong support and commitment of the Ministry of Health, Hospital Kuala Lumpur, Hospital Tunku Azizah, as well as collaborations with various departments, NGOs, patient organizations, industry partners, and the private sector. Moving forward, strengthening these collaborations will be key to improving timely diagnosis and expanding access to treatment for rare disease patients,” he shared.

As part of the initiative to improve rare disease awareness, the event also marked the launch of three new books tailored for patients and caregivers: “Buku Resipi Rendah Protein untuk Pesakit Inherited Metabolic Disorders (IMD)”, produced through a collaboration between HKL’s dietitians and the Genetics Department, with printing support from Pharm-D Health Science. “Pengembaraan Morquio A” and “Mia & Penjelajahan MPS 6”, engaging comic-style books that are designed to help children with Morquio Syndrome and Mucopolysaccharidosis type 6 (MPS VI) to better understand their condition.

Pharm-D Health Science supported this event through its JARANG Program, a corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative aimed to raise awareness, provide support, and empower individuals and families affected by rare diseases in Malaysia. Mr. Wong Chin Cheang, Managing Director of Pharm-D Health Science, expressed the company’s commitment to bridging healthcare gaps in the rare disease community.

“Pharm-D Health Science believes in empowering the rare disease community through innovation and collaboration. Through the JARANG Program, we are dedicated to supporting awareness campaigns like today’s event. Together, we can drive meaningful change and make a lasting impact on patients’ lives,” said Mr. Wong.

A highlight of the event was the mock cheque handover ceremony, where AGTC Genomics sponsored and Pharm-D Health Science supported the contribution of RM75,000 worth of whole exome sequencing (WES) tests for underprivileged patients. This funding will enable critical genetic testing, which is often a significant financial burden for affected families.

As the event concluded, Dr. Ngu called for continued collaboration to improve the lives of rare disease patients. “Together, we can make a difference – by listening, understanding, and taking action to bring hope to the rare disease community.”

This marks China’s largest financing deal in the commercial vehicle sector in the past five years.

The investors in this round include both industry stakeholders, capable of fostering strategic synergies and strengthening the interaction between upstream and downstream supply chains, as well as national-level funds and companies. These financial investors bring valuable capital perspectives that will drive continuous improvements in XCMG’s lean management and support the company’s high-quality development. This investment showcases the capital market’s unwavering confidence in XCMG’s reform and development trajectory.

As the commercial vehicle market becomes increasingly competitive, the limitations of traditional development models are becoming evident. This mixed-ownership reform represents not only an infusion of capital but also an integration of resources and the release of new momentum. The reform will enhance collaboration across the industrial chain, drive technological cooperation, and expand market reach, helping XCMG accelerate its development of new energy technologies, sales networks, and after-sales service. This collaborative approach will play a critical role in building a closed-loop ecosystem for the new energy industry chain, injecting fresh energy into the growth of China’s new energy sector. XCMG is committed to driving the green and intelligent transformation of the commercial vehicle industry.

In recent years, XCMG has proactively aligned with its dual-carbon strategy. The company’s new energy product lineup covers pure electric, hybrid, and hydrogen fuel cell-powered, serving a broad range of applications including road logistics, construction, municipal sanitation, and mining operations. XCMG’s diverse product portfolio is industry-leading in terms of coverage. Through its unwavering glocal strategy, XCMG’s international influence continues to grow. The company has already launched KD factory production in the Middle East and Africa, advancing from simple trade export to deep localization and integration within these regions.

In 2024 alone, XCMG’s new energy heavy truck sales reached 14,400 units, maintaining the highest total sales and market share in the industry for the second consecutive year. This milestone highlights XCMG’s significant leap forward in the new energy sector, setting the stage for further breakthroughs and innovations in the years to come.

China committed to open sci-tech cooperation for benefits of all

BEIJING, March 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A report from People’s Daily:

From the mountains of Indonesia, where the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway injects fresh momentum into regional development, to the deserts of Egypt transformed into fertile farmlands through advanced drilling technologies, and Tanzania’s “Small Bean and Big Nutrition” project boosting agricultural yields–China’s cutting-edge innovations and technological prowess are driving sustainable growth worldwide.

As a new wave of scientific and industrial revolution surges, breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and biotechnology are reshaping the global landscape. Nations universally seek to harness technological innovation as an engine for economic vitality. Yet, amid rising “decoupling” rhetoric and “walled gardens,” the risk of widening technological divides looms large. The choice between monopolizing breakthroughs or actively extending their benefits to all will profoundly shape the trajectory of global modernization.

China, a pivotal player in global innovation, champions open collaboration and shared prosperity. Strengthening independent innovation while spearheading global technological advancement, the nation rejects zero-sum dominance. Instead, it aligns technological progress with its modernization goals and the broader welfare of humanity.

The recent lunar feat of Chang’e-6–the first-ever sample retrieval from the Moon’s far side, aided by international payloads–epitomizes this ethos: China’s achievements belong to both the nation and the world.

Embracing AI’s transformative potential, China advocates for open-source technologies and inclusive access, exemplified by its high-performance, freely accessible DeepSeek model. Such strides reflect a deliberate philosophy: integrating the ancient ethos of “harmonious coexistence” into modern innovation.

From co-developing satellites with emerging economies to opening the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST) for global research, China fosters collaborative ecosystems. Initiatives like the Belt and Road Science, Technology and Innovation Cooperation Action Plan and the ChinaAfrica digital technology cooperation center underscore its resolve to dismantle technological hegemony, cultivating an open, fair, just and non-discriminatory environment. By intertwining open cooperation with breakthroughs in productive forces, China charts a path where shared advancements empower sustainable development–a testament to its role as an enabler of global modernization.

This commitment to both ambitious scientific breakthroughs and inclusive sharing of innovation inspires more nations to actively explore the vast frontiers of technology and enhances global access to cutting-edge advancements.

As China harnesses technological innovation to drive new quality productive forces, it remains steadfast in promoting progress through opening up and cooperation and advancing common development through shared innovation outcomes. In doing so, China is helping power global sustainable development and accelerate modernization worldwide.

Trends in IP Development

China’s IP licensing market has seen rapid expansion. According to the 2024 White Paper on the Development of China’s Brand Licensing Industry, as of 2023, localized IPs have been the largest source in China’s IP licensing market for three consecutive years. In response to the new trend of cultural consumption, this year’s ceremony has introduced a new “Best IP Crossover of the Year” category. Winning collaboration included “YH.TANG × The King’s Avatar”, which sold over one million beverages on its first day, and the collaboration between “PIZZA HUT × Battle Through the Heavens” sparked a cultural consumption frenzy among Generation Z.

Another new category, “Best IP Goods of the Year,” recognized 12 products, including The King’s Avatar • “Glory Rendezvous” Mythic COG Collectible Cards and Lord of Mysteries • Adventure Series Hitcard Collection Cards. The cumulative Gross Merchandise Volume (GMV) of the listed “goods” exceeded 100 million yuan, reflecting the booming “Goods Economy” trend. According to data from iiMedia Research, the scale of China’s “Goods Economy” reached 168.9 billion yuan in 2024, an increase of over 40% compared with 2023, and is expected to reach 308.9 billion yuan by 2029.

IP is a core element of the “Goods Economy”, and Yuewen, which has an “IP Farmland”, is now tapping into the global “Goods Economy”. Yuewen recently culminated its one-month-long YUEWEN WONDERLAND in Singapore, attracting global fans to “eating goods” (buying IP peripherals). The daily footfall has surpassed 20K people. Among them, the GMV of the Chinese New Year and Singapore-themed series products prepared by YUEWEN GOODS has exceeded 5 million yuan.

The overseas export of goods is a microcosm of the overseas export of Chinese IPs. More than 90% of the IPs listed in this year’s award have been exported overseas. For example, for The King’s Avatar, which was rated as the “The IP with the Greatest International Influence”, its protagonist, Ye Xiu, will serve as the “Swiss Tourism Explorer” of the Swiss National Tourist Office in 2025. The Joy of Life 2 was globally set to premiere simultaneously through Disney and has become the Mainland Chinese TV drama with the highest viewing popularity on the Disney+ platform.

The list also reflects emerging trends in IP integration, with web novels, comics, and animations increasingly collaborating with gaming. Animation, Comic, Game, and Novel (ACGN) synergy prevailed this year’s winners. Three co-branded titles—“Fox Spirit Matchmaker × Honor of Kings” ,  “The Unruly Immortals × A Chinese Ghost Story” , and  “Guardians of the Dafeng × Game for Peace” —won “Most Popular Novel-to-Game Adaptations” . Notably, the collaboration between Fox Spirit Matchmaker × Honor of Kings has driven an increase in the game’s revenue in the third quarter of 2024.

Yuewen’s Holistic IP Ecosystem

With a robust IP pipeline and established IP development ecosystem, Yuewen consistently delivers hits. Starting with web novels and catalyzed by successful TV and film adaptations, the company has built a full-industry chain spanning audiobooks, animations, games, merchandise, and emerging formats like collectible cards and immersive IP theaters. This integrated approach maximizes IP value and underscores  China’s maturing IP industry.

In this context, the ten novels that have been rated as the “Most Anticipated Adaptations”Dream of White Hedge, The Unruly Immortals, Above the Great Dao, The First Fierce Sword of the Imperial City Department, Who Told Him to Be a Cultivator!, Genius Club, Artifact Report, Mirror of the Immortal Clan, The Divine Officials Have Orders, and Immortal Father – are expected to grow into a new batch of hit IPs. It is worth noting that 100% of the web novels awarded in the previous Yuewen Global IP Awards have entered the IP development stage.

IP Commercialization Accelerates, and Overseas Influence Grows

The year 2025 marks the 10th anniversary of Yuewen’s establishment. During this gala, Yuewen unveiled the “Yuewen 10th Anniversary IP of Glory”, honoring classic IPs such as Candle in the Tomb, Nirvana in Fire, and Jade Dynasty. These IPs, cultivated over decades, have become cultural touchstones spanning generations.


To commemorate the occasion, music artists Azora Chin, Loger, Mario, Angela Zhang, and Laure Shang performed iconic tracks tied to Yuewen IPs.

As a pioneer, Yuewen not only promotes the internationalization of the Chinese IP industry but also drives the overseas adaptation of a holistic IP development model. As of November 2024, WebNovel, Yuewen’s overseas online reading platform, has launched approximately 6,000 translated works of Chinese web novel, cultivated about 449,000 overseas online authors, and accumulated nearly 300 million visitors, covering more than 200 countries and regions around the world. At the same time, Yuewen has also collaborated with teams from the United States, the United Kingdom, India, Japan, and Singapore to jointly develop IPs based on overseas original works. With the deepening of international collaboration, the IP industry is entering a new stage of global co-creation of IPs.
