Speaking at the opening ceremony, the Secretary for Development, Ms Bernadette Linn, said that the Han and Tang dynasties were both golden eras in Chinese history, leaving behind a wealth of important historical legacies for the Chinese nation. Following the success of the “Tang Vogue Beyond the Horizons: A Golden Era of Multicultural Integration and Openness” exhibition jointly organised by the DEVB and the NCHA last year, both parties collaborated again to present a large-scale Han dynasty-themed artefact exhibition this year. She eagerly anticipates that through these precious artefacts, members of the public and tourists will learn more about the glorious history of the Han dynasty and appreciate the remarkable virtues of traditional Chinese culture. They will also discover a fresh perspective through the narratives conveyed by the artefacts from Hong Kong and the Chinese Mainland.

Other officiating guests at the opening ceremony of the exhibition were the Director of Art Exhibitions China, Mr Tan Ping; the Second-level Inspector of the Department of Publicity, Cultural and Sports Affairs of the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Mr Chen Xinyu; the Chairman of the Antiquities Advisory Board, Professor Desmond Hui; and the Chairman of the Advisory Committee on Built Heritage Conservation, Professor Douglas So.

The exhibition is presented in six thematic sections, covering political system, economic development, culture and beliefs, scientific and technological development, social life and external exchanges. It features 252 pieces/sets of invaluable exhibits. Among them, 203 pieces/sets, including 40 grade-one cultural relics, come from 29 museums and cultural institutions in 14 provinces and autonomous regions on the Chinese Mainland, and most of them are being shown in Hong Kong for the first time. The remaining 49 pieces/sets are significant archaeological finds dating to the Han period unearthed in Hong Kong, painstakingly selected by the Antiquities and Monuments Office of the DEVB.

The star exhibits from the Chinese Mainland highlight the Han precious bronze horse-leading figurine and bronze horse; an eaves end tile with Chinese characters Han Bing Tian Xia (Han unifies the realm); a seven-storey painted pottery granary house with linked pavilion; the Yi Li (Etiquette and rites) wooden slips, a bronze fang vessel of Inner Treasury of Zhongshan, a gold linzhi hoof, the silk letter from Yuan to Zifang and arithmetical slips unearthed at the Xuanquan relay station site in Dunhuang; a silk manuscript of Yinyang Wuxing (Yinyang and the Five Elements) Article B; a silk padded robe with Chang Shou (longevity) embroidery on a crimson purple juan (plain weave silk) ground; gloves with lozenge pattern; padded socks; and a lacquered wooden plate with leopard cat motif and Chinese characters Jun Xing Shi (food for the honoured guest) and a silver box with garlic pattern. Other exhibits cover a variety of categories, ranging from Han bamboo slips, coins, bronze vessels, clothes and ornaments to pottery figurines, pottery houses and agricultural tools, which present the daily lives of various social strata in the Han period.

Mureka Unveils Studio and Remix, Advancing Its Vision for an AI-Native Music Creation Era

SINGAPORE, March 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Mureka, the AI-powered music creation platform developed by Skywork AI, today announced the release of two new capabilities — Studio and Remix — as part of its continued push to redefine how music is imagined, created, and evolved in the age of artificial intelligence.

Rather than positioning AI as a shortcut, Mureka frames it as a new creative infrastructure — one where intuition, iteration, and authorship are reimagined through software.

Toward an AI-Native Creative Stack

In the past year, generative AI has dramatically lowered the barrier to music creation. Yet for many creators, the process has remained fragmented — ideas can be generated instantly, but refining them into something intentional, expressive, and complete still requires traditional tools and workflows.

Mureka’s latest release signals a shift away from this divide.

With Studio, the platform moves closer to a fully integrated, AI-native production environment — where generation and editing are no longer separate stages, but part of a continuous creative loop. Users can move fluidly between exploration and control, shaping music in context rather than in fragments.

At the same time, Remix reflects another emerging paradigm: music as a living, adaptable medium. Instead of static outputs, compositions become flexible assets that can be reinterpreted, localized, and reimagined in real time.

Together, these releases suggest a broader ambition — not just to accelerate music creation, but to fundamentally change its structure.

From Tools to Systems

What distinguishes Mureka is not only the quality of its outputs, but the system it is building around them.

By combining generative models with timeline-based editing, structured audio decomposition, and controllable vocal identity, the platform is evolving into a cohesive environment where:

  • Ideas can be generated, tested, and refined without leaving the system
  • Creative decisions remain reversible, modular, and iterative
  • Music production becomes increasingly non-linear and exploratory

This system-level approach reflects a deeper thesis: that the future of creativity will not be defined by isolated features, but by how seamlessly they connect.

Expanding Creative Possibility

Mureka’s user base — spanning content creators, independent artists, and professional producers — increasingly operates in contexts where speed, adaptability, and originality are equally critical.

Short-form video, global distribution, and always-on content cycles demand not just more music, but more variation, faster iteration, and tighter alignment with context.

By enabling rapid transformation of musical ideas without compromising coherence, Mureka is positioning itself as a foundational layer for this new creative economy.

A New Role for AI in Music

As debates continue around the role of AI in artistic creation, Mureka’s approach is notably pragmatic: augment, not replace.

The platform emphasizes controllability, authorship, and stylistic intent — giving users the ability to guide outputs rather than simply receive them. In this sense, AI becomes less of a generator and more of a collaborator embedded directly into the creative process.

The launch of Studio and Remix underscores this philosophy — shifting the focus from one-off generation toward sustained, iterative creation.

Looking Ahead

As AI-generated content becomes increasingly ubiquitous, the next phase of innovation will be defined not by whether something can be created, but by how meaningfully it can be shaped.

With this release, Mureka signals its direction clearly: toward a future where music creation is faster, more flexible, and more deeply integrated — without losing the nuance and intentionality that define great work.

Both Studio and Remix are now available globally via mureka.ai.

About Mureka
Mureka is an AI-powered music creation platform that generates original songs, lyrics, and melodies from text prompts and audio references. Built for creators, musicians, and producers, it combines high-fidelity generation with advanced creative control, enabling a new paradigm of music production in the AI era.

The Group will continue to place extra emphasis on cash flow management to ensure the stable development of the Company in the long term.

Operational Summary

In 2025, the Group remained anchored in its “Single Brand, Multi-categories, Diversified Channels” strategy, advancing development through product upgrades, channel optimisation, and brand marketing.

The Group focused on six core categories—running, basketball, training, badminton, table tennis and sports casual—while actively pursuing opportunities in emerging fields and exploring new sports subcategories, such as outdoor, tennis and pickleball. During the year, the Group continued to upgrade its products through technological innovation and enhance the deployment of professional sports resources, guided by three key pillars: reinforcing a professional sports mindset, showcasing sports-fashion aesthetics, and honouring Chinese cultural heritage. In addition, it worked proactively to strengthen brand influence and increase brand recognition and visibility through diversified, and comprehensive marketing campaigns.

As the official partner of the Chinese Olympic Committee, the Group leveraged its deep expertise and strong professional sports credibility to blend sportsmanship with cutting-edge technology and Eastern aesthetics—all under the narrative theme “China’s Glory, Together with LI-NING.” During the year, it opened the world’s first LI-NING “Loong Store” and launched the “Glory Gold Label” product series, transforming exclusive, top-tier scarce sports resources into a driving force for brand reputation and market recognition, continuously strengthening consumers’ perception of LI-NING’s professional capabilities and product reliability.

In terms of channel development, the Group continued to advance a multi-dimensional channel network layout to expand market coverage while enhancing operational efficiency. In high-end markets, the Group deepened synergistic collaborations with top-tier commercial complexes and leading outlet malls, jointly promoting the planning and implementation of innovative stores. During the year, the Group successfully launched an independent outdoor store “COUNTERFLOW”, marking an important milestone for the brand’s official entry into the outdoor segment. The Group actively carried out cross-industry collaborations, partnering with top IPs embodying Chinese cultural heritage such as the Palace Museum, and launched marketing campaigns by collaborating with channel partners through diverse initiatives, effectively improving brand reach and conversion. In terms of efficiency enhancement, the Group continued to optimize the channel structure and improved rental structures and cooperation models, enhancing overall channel health and operational sustainability through a series of strategic optimization measures. As of 31 December 2025, the LI-NING brand (including LI-NING Core Brand and LI-NING YOUNG) operated a total of 7,609 conventional stores, flagship stores, China LI-NING stores, factory outlets, and multi-brand stores, representing a net increase of 24 POS compared with 31 December 2024.

In terms of retail operations, the Group built a highly profitable, efficient, and replicable single-store operating model. In high-level markets, targeted brand strategies were implemented across key regions, strengthening brand image and improving product operation efficiency through optimised channel structure, store product mix, and shopping experience. The Group established a distribution management model to improve operational efficiency and sustainable development capabilities of the distribution system. In addition, the Group strengthened the efficient coordination between retail outlets and the logistics system. Through refined planning systems, flexible supply chain construction and digital support, channel inventory turnover and full lifecycle product management were realised, thereby comprehensively improving operational quality and efficiency.

In terms of e-commerce operations, the Group made precise deployments that effectively enhanced consumer awareness and market share during major e-commerce campaigns such as Tmall Celebration Day and Tmall Super Product Day. During the year, core IP products such as “Zhui Feng”, “DLO”, “ULTRALIGHT” and “LI REN” delivered outstanding performance, successfully penetrating multiple consumer segments including Gen Z, professional sports and trendy fashion, ranking highly in both sales and reputation across segmented markets. By leveraging top athletes, celebrities, trending events and channel resources, the Group not only enhanced product exposure and achieved traffic acquisition and promotional sales conversion, helping inventory optimisation, but also supported offline business and drove overall revenue growth.

In terms of supply chain, the Group continuously optimised the supplier matrix, aligning high-quality supplier resources for high-end sports, outdoor, premium and sponsored product lines. Meanwhile, the Group aligned with its major product plan by adopting segmented production planning and data-driven management to achieve high-level coordination among product planning, supply chain, logistics, and retail outlets. To improve operational efficiency, the Group adopted multiple measures such as integration of fabric resources, optimization of process structures, large-scale procurement of materials and staggered production scheduling, further improving the cost structure, while enhancing production efficiency. In addition, the Group continued to integrate sustainable development into supply chain management and promoted green products, with the proportion of eco-friendly products exceeding annual targets during the year.

In terms of logistics, the Group launched a channel logistics project to connect the order system with logistics operations, improving product circulation efficiency and fulfilment timeliness. On the digital front, the Group introduced a warehouse coordination system and adopted SKU-level refined management. In terms of automation, automated equipment was introduced into various warehouses, enabling multi-scenario coverage and data visualization management. In December 2025, the East China and North China warehouses took the lead in adopting RFID full-process warehouse management, achieving full-process traceability of logistics data, greatly strengthening inventory management precision, and deployment across all warehouses is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2026 to continuously drive cost reduction and efficiency improvement.

In terms of its kidswear business, LI-NING YOUNG continued to focus on professional sports and children’s developmental needs, advancing product optimization and exclusive IP creation. In terms of channel strategy, the Group continued to strengthen outlet channel development, improve single-store efficiency and optimize overall channel structure while accelerating its e-commerce deployment. LI-NING YOUNG maintained a coordinated development of wholesale and direct retail. Through refined management and strategic layout, both scale and quality were improved. In terms of marketing, LI-NING YOUNG centred its efforts around three core pillars “Event Cooperation + User Stories + IP Collaboration” to build professional recognition and accumulate its user foundation, successfully expanding its influence among youth and family demographics. As at 31 December 2025, the total number of LI-NING YOUNG POS was 1,518, representing a net increase of 50 POS since 31 December 2024.

Outlook

Entering 2026, the Group will seize the development opportunities arising from the continuous release of domestic demand potential.

3. Dual improvement in quality and efficiency of business operations: The Group will continue to focus on improving quality and efficiency across all aspects of its business. By deepening channel layout, strengthening product operations, and optimising supply chain management, the Group aims to build an efficient operational system, achieve simultaneous improvements in operational quality and efficiency, and lay a solid foundation for the high-quality growth of the enterprise. Offline channels will focus on improving efficiency in high-tier markets and penetrating emerging markets, while exploring new business models. Online channels will strengthen domain synergy and resource integration, promoting complementarity between online and offline channels. In terms of product operations, the Group will optimize the precision of full-chain planning and flexible supply capabilities, and accelerate inventory turnover. The supply chain will achieve coordinated optimization of cost, quality, and delivery time across the entire chain, thereby enhancing overall operational efficiency.

4. Consolidating the foundation to safeguard development: The Group will continuously strengthen three core support capabilities: talent, finance, and digital intelligence, to lay a solid bedrock for high-quality development. In terms of talent strategy, talent development will focus on selection, incentives, and efficiency. In terms of financial management, emphasis will be placed on precise resource allocation and risk control. In terms of digitalization, the Group will promote the deep integration of AI and big data with business operations, enhance operational efficiency and the scientific nature of decision-making, and provide systematic safeguards for the long-term development of the Group.

Mr. Li Ning, Executive Chairman and Joint CEO of the Group, concluded: “2026 marks the first year of the 15th Five-Year Plan. With the strategic goal of accelerating the development of a sports powerhouse, the nation will further unlock sports consumption potential while driving the transformation and upgrading of the sporting goods manufacturing industry. We expect this to release domestic demand potential and create both strong support and a vast stage for the sports industry to thrive.”

“We will remain rooted in the local market while looking ahead, seizing opportunities of the era with greater foresight and more efficient execution. We will continue to deepen the Group’s ‘Single Brand, Multi-categories, Diversified Channels’ strategy, optimising and upgrading our core category matrix while exploring emerging segments. Most importantly, we will keep strengthening the core advantages of our products—professional performance, technological capability, and sports experience—by empowering them with innovative technology and design aesthetics to reward consumer trust.”

Amcor’s Earth Sense® Pro wins FPA award for advancing ultra-performance stretch hand film

Amcor recognized for sustainability leadership at 2026 Flexible Packaging Association Achievement Awards

ZURICH, March 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Amcor (NYSE: AMCR, ASX: AMC), a global leader in developing and producing responsible packaging solutions, has been recognized with a Silver Flexible Packaging Achievement Award in the Sustainability category for its Earth Sense® Pro Recycled Content Stretch Hand Film. The award was presented during the Flexible Packaging Association’s (FPA) 2026 Annual Meeting in Orlando, Florida.

Amcor's Earth Sense® Pro Recycled Content Stretch Hand Film was recognized for sustainability leadership at the 2026 Flexible Packaging Association Achievement Awards.
Amcor’s Earth Sense® Pro Recycled Content Stretch Hand Film was recognized for sustainability leadership at the 2026 Flexible Packaging Association Achievement Awards.

“We are proud to be recognized by the FPA for innovations that help our customers reduce their environmental footprint,” said Phil Stolz, President, Amcor Flexibles Converter & Distribution. “This award reflects Amcor’s commitment to advancing more sustainable packaging solutions across our portfolio.”

Amcor’s Earth Sense® Pro Recycled Content Stretch Hand Film is an ultra‑performance solution designed for manually wrapping pallets while significantly reducing environmental impact. Engineered with 30% post‑consumer recycled (PCR) and 5% post‑industrial recycled (PIR) content, the film supports secure, stable loads through every stage of transport and storage. Its high load‑containment capability helps minimize breakage, damage and loss while reducing reliance on virgin materials and helping divert plastic waste from landfills and oceans — supporting Amcor’s progress toward a circular economy.

The film’s downgaugeable structure delivers outstanding load containment, toughness and ease of application, offering significant lightweighting opportunities without compromising protective performance. Its 28‑gauge film offers performance comparable to — and often exceeding — films of twice the thickness, helping maintain wrap integrity while using less material. Its lightweight rolls enhance operator comfort, while the damage‑resistant design helps reduce film waste.

This technical achievement represents a breakthrough for PCR integration in stretch film, which is an application historically challenged by thin-gauge performance requirements and sensitivity to defects. Until recently, PCR was limited to thicker stretch films; but by achieving 30% PCR content at 28-gauge thickness, Amcor has expanded the feasibility of PCR in a broader range of stretch film uses.

For 70 years, the FPA Achievement Awards have celebrated innovation and technical excellence across the flexible packaging industry. This year, the competition received 360 submissions, with 36 innovative solutions recognized for advancing performance, functionality and sustainability in packaging.

About Amcor

Amcor is the global leader in developing and producing responsible consumer packaging and dispensing solutions across a variety of materials for nutrition, health, beauty and wellness categories. Our global product innovation and sustainability expertise enables us to solve packaging challenges around the world every day, producing a range of flexible packaging, rigid packaging, cartons and closures that are more sustainable, functional and appealing for our customers and their consumers.
