WUHU, China, Oct. 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The 2026 iCAUR International User Summit will run from October 19 to 23. With just one day to go before the opening, Chery Group's iCAUR has unveiled a slate of highlights under the theme "Classic Never Fades | Make It Yours," including the world premiere of the V25, the first iCAUR Customization Festival, the V Series Test-Drive Camp, and interactive tours of the Ecosystem Showroom.

Global media and attendees will experience iCAUR's Future-Classic Design philosophy firsthand, see how V Series vehicles go beyond mobility to enrich everyday life, and gain deeper insights into the open ecosystem co-created by iCAUR and its global user community.

Highlight One: World Premiere of the V25, A New Addition to the V Series Family

The iCAUR Global Brand & V25 World Premiere will be officially held on October 19. Positioned as an all-way SUV, the iCAUR V25 will make its global debut at the event, expanding the V Series lineup alongside the V23 and V27.

Built for both daily city commutes and outdoor adventures, the V25 embodies iCAUR's latest Future-Classic Design language through its iconic boxy silhouette, near 1:1 width-to-height ratio and signature round headlamps. Backed by the i-AWD (Intelligent All-wheel Drive) and Golden REEV (Range-extended Electric Vehicle) systems, the vehicle confidently handles diverse road conditions, enabling seamless transitions between urban travel, long-distance trips and outdoor exploration.

Boasting more than 20 ecosystem interfaces, a 1.8-tonne towing capacity and 6kW external discharge capability, it supports lifestyle scenarios such as camping, cycling and photography. Three official customized vehicles based on the V23, V25 and V27 will also be showcased together on site, demonstrating the wide-ranging lifestyle integration possibilities of the V Series.

Highlight Two: Inaugural Customization Festival, Putting User Creativity on Stage

Beyond official customized vehicles, genuine user creativity will take the spotlight at the first iCAUR Customization Festival. Built around "Classic Never Fades | Make It Yours", the venue is split into three experience zones: Custom Car, Urban Lifestyle and Outdoor Lifestyle. A collection of customized vehicles from across the globe spans off-road, camping and urban commuting use cases, visually demonstrating the V Series' potential for expansion in styling, functionality and ecosystem connectivity. Attendees may cast votes for their favourite builds and winners may receive limited-edition stickers. Within the Custom Car zone, participants can try modular installations under professional guidance, learn how vehicle interfaces power various functions, and exchange ideas with fellow enthusiasts worldwide. The Urban and Outdoor Lifestyle Experience Zones host interactive activities including coffee tastings, graffiti creation and physical challenges, helping users discover new connections between vehicles and daily life aligned with personal interests.

On the occasion, the brand will launch the "User-centric Experience" global user ecosystem.

Supported by four foundational pillars - official iCAUR customized vehicles, the iCAUR Customization Festival, the iCAUR APP and iCAUR Club Connect - this framework embeds user experience and creativity into product and ecosystem development. Using vehicles as its medium, the iCAUR Customization Festival establishes a platform for global vehicle owners, customization enthusiasts and the brand to communicate and co-create, turning "Classic Never Fades | Make It Yours" into an ongoing collective journey where users participate in defining what constitutes a classic.

Highlight Three: V Series Test-Drive Camp - Hands-on Vehicle Trials

Product experience moves beyond static displays to real-world driving scenarios at the V Series Test-Drive Camp. Both the V25 and the V27 will be available for test drives across urban roads, undulating terrain and complex outdoor surfaces, allowing media and users to get behind the wheel and experience the two boxy SUVs firsthand, evaluating power response, handling stability, off-road capability and ride comfort.

A core focus of the experience is how the vehicles maintain stability and handle changing terrain. The all-new Swift Agile Handling Platform engineered by iCAUR features a native NEV (New Energy Vehicle) architecture. Built on a modular building-block concept, it enables flexible integration of powertrain, chassis, intelligent systems and cabin space to address differentiated mobility needs.

The platform-dedicated i-AWD system dynamically adapts drive configurations to road conditions and apportions wheel torque with millisecond responsiveness, elevating off-road capability and handling performance on slippery surfaces, gravel tracks and steep gradients. Golden REEV achieves high-efficiency fuel-to-electricity conversion with a thermal efficiency of 44.5%. Behind the wheel across varied terrain, attendees will directly experience how i-AWD optimises power distribution and driving stability, while appreciating the near-BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle) driving refinement delivered by Golden REEV technology.

Highlight Four: Ecosystem Showroom and New Product Launch by AiMOGA Robot, Unlocking New Technological Potential

Beyond vehicles themselves, the iCAUR Ecosystem Showroom centres its design on "Classic Never Fades". It houses three zones - Lifestyle Lab, Time Corridor and Creation Hub - crafting an immersive experience that stretches from design inspiration to real-world living scenarios. The pavilion features V23 and V27 customized vehicles, V27 design sketches, user creations and ecosystem product exhibits.

Visitors can trace a vehicle's journey from design sketch to finished product, and see how it adapts to diverse lifestyle scenarios via interfaces, accessories and user imagination. Zones including the Life Lab and Time Corridor respectively explore urban living, sensory experience and personalised creation, showcasing iCAUR's design philosophy and how users can leave their own mark on their vehicles through customization and co-creation. Attendees can draw inspiration from diverse customization concepts and witness how Future-Classic Design continues to evolve through user innovation.

During the summit, the brand will also unveil new products and technologies related to the AiMOGA robot and Robotaxi, offering global users another perspective to explore the application of intelligent technologies.

In one day's time, "Classic Never Fades | Make It Yours" will come to life - from a single new vehicle to a thriving user community; from individual customizations to a continuously connected global ecosystem. Through these four core highlights, this year's iCAUR International User Summit turns "Classic Never Fades | Make It Yours" from a brand statement into a tangible, visible and inclusive shared practice.

CGTN menerbitkan artikel yang mengulas cara Ulanqab, sebuah kota di Tiongkok utara, mengubah keunggulan sumber daya alamnya menjadi motor penggerak pertumbuhan ekonomi baru di tengah pesatnya perkembangan AI global. Kota ini juga berupaya menyelaraskan kemajuan teknologi dan pertumbuhan ekonomi dengan pelestarian ekologi guna mewujudkan pembangunan yang lebih ramah lingkungan.

BEIJING, Oct. 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ulanqab, sebuah kota di Wilayah Otonom Mongolia Dalam, Tiongkok utara, dikenal sebagai "sentra produksi kentang" dan "sentra produksi oat" di Tiongkok. Kini, kota ini memanfaatkan energi angin dan surya yang melimpah untuk mendukung pertumbuhan industri komputasi. Langkah ini mengubah keunggulan sumber daya alamnya menjadi motor penggerak pertumbuhan ekonomi baru.

Sejak Tiongkok meluncurkan proyek nasional "Data Timur, Komputasi Barat" pada tahun 2022, Ulanqab telah mempercepat pembangunan infrastruktur komputasinya. Pada akhir tahun 2025, kota ini meluncurkan strategi pembangunan tiga tahun untuk membangun "kota token" yang didukung oleh energi hijau.

Menurut data resmi, hingga Agustus 2026, Ulanqab telah menandatangani kesepakatan untuk 109 proyek pembangunan pusat komputasi. Sepanjang bulan Januari-Agustus 2026, industri tersebut membukukan pendapatan sebesar 5,68 miliar yuan (sekitar $849 juta), naik 40,3% dibandingkan periode yang sama tahun sebelumnya.

Dalam kunjungannya ke Ulanqab pada hari Jumat, Presiden Tiongkok Xi Jinping mendorong pemanfaatan sumber daya angin dan surya yang melimpah di wilayah tersebut secara lebih optimal untuk mengembangkan industri komputasi berbasis energi hijau. Beliau juga menekankan pentingnya mengoordinasikan pembangunan berkualitas tinggi dengan perlindungan lingkungan tingkat tinggi, serta tetap berkomitmen pada jalur pembangunan hijau yang mengutamakan pelestarian ekologi.

Dari industri tradisional menuju komputasi hijau

Dalam kunjungan tersebut, Presiden Xi juga menyambangi Zona Pengembangan Teknologi Tinggi Chahar di Ulanqab. Di sana, beliau mendapat penjelasan mengenai kemajuan pembangunan pusat komputasi di Mongolia Dalam sebagai bagian dari proyek "Data Timur, Komputasi Barat." Beliau juga menekankan pentingnya memastikan proyek-proyek yang telah rampung dapat beroperasi secara efisien, serta menyelesaikan pembangunan proyek-proyek lanjutan sesuai jadwal.

Presiden Xi juga mendorong penerapan secara sungguh-sungguh berbagai persyaratan pembangunan yang efisien, ramah lingkungan, dan aman, serta upaya aktif untuk mengembangkan industri komputasi berbasis energi hijau.

Tujuan dari proyek "Data Timur, Komputasi Barat" adalah membangun jaringan komputasi nasional yang terkoordinasi dengan mengalihkan kebutuhan komputasi dari wilayah timur Tiongkok ke wilayah barat. Langkah ini dilakukan untuk mengoptimalkan persebaran pusat data sekaligus mendorong pembangunan daerah. Mongolia Dalam merupakan salah satu dari delapan pusat komputasi nasional yang dibentuk berdasarkan inisiatif tersebut.

Pusat komputasi membutuhkan pasokan listrik yang andal, jaringan berkecepatan tinggi, serta sistem pendinginan yang efisien. John Gong, profesor ekonomi di University of International Business and Economics, mengatakan kepada CGTN bahwa Ulanqab telah berhasil memanfaatkan kekayaan sumber daya energi terbarukannya untuk mendukung pengembangan AI di Tiongkok. Beliau menilai kunjungan Xi menegaskan dukungannya terhadap model pembangunan Ulanqab yang mengandalkan keunggulan sumber daya lokal sebagai motor penggerak pertumbuhan ekonomi dan inovasi teknologi.

Dengan suhu rata-rata tahunan sebesar 4,3 derajat Celsius, kota ini dapat memanfaatkan pendinginan alami untuk mengurangi konsumsi energi pusat data selama hampir 10 bulan dalam setahun. Kota ini juga memiliki sumber daya angin dan surya yang melimpah, serta biaya infrastruktur yang relatif rendah. Berkat berbagai keunggulan tersebut, Ulanqab berhasil menarik perhatian sejumlah perusahaan terkemuka di industri mahadata (big data) untuk mendirikan pusat komputasi di kota ini hanya dalam beberapa tahun.

Dengan memperluas infrastruktur komputasi di kota-kota seperti Ulanqab, Tiongkok memanfaatkan energi terbarukannya yang melimpah untuk membuka jalur menuju pembangunan yang lebih ramah lingkungan bagi industri komputasi.

Memprioritaskan pelestarian ekologi

Selain memanfaatkan sumber daya energi hijau untuk mendorong pertumbuhan ekonomi dan inovasi teknologi, Tiongkok juga menaruh perhatian besar pada pelestarian ekologi.

Presiden Xi mengunjungi cagar alam Danau Huangqihai pada hari Jumat untuk melihat langsung berbagai upaya pelestarian ekologi di wilayah tersebut. Beliau juga meninjau kawasan tepian danau dan hamparan lumpur serta mengamati burung-burung yang hidup di kawasan tersebut.

Presiden Xi menekankan pentingnya menerapkan undang-undang perlindungan lahan basah Tiongkok secara menyeluruh, menjaga batas-batas perlindungan ekologi, serta melindungi keanekaragaman hayati. Terkait ekosistem lahan basah yang mengalami kerusakan, Presiden Xi menyerukan agar pemulihan secara alami menjadi prioritas utama, dengan intervensi manusia sebagai langkah tambahan. Selain itu, upaya pemulihan harus dilakukan dengan pendekatan yang ilmiah dan tepat.

Danau Huangqihai merupakan danau pedalaman dengan cekungan tertutup yang pernah hampir mengering akibat iklim dan faktor lainnya. Pada tahun 1993, pemerintah membentuk cagar alam tingkat kabupaten sebagai upaya memulihkan ekosistem lahan basah tersebut. Statusnya lalu dinaikkan menjadi cagar alam tingkat daerah otonom pada tahun 2003.

Setelah bertahun-tahun menjalani upaya pelestarian dan pemulihan ekologi, kondisi perairan dan vegetasi di sekitar danau berangsur pulih. Kawasan ini pun kembali menjadi habitat yang subur dan dihuni beragam satwa liar.

Dari pengembangan komputasi hijau hingga pemulihan ekosistem lahan basah, Ulanqab menunjukkan bahwa pertumbuhan ekonomi dapat berjalan selaras dengan pelestarian ekologi. Dengan mengubah keunggulan sumber daya lokal menjadi motor penggerak pertumbuhan ekonomi baru sekaligus menjaga kelestarian lingkungan alam, Ulanqab menunjukkan bahwa pembangunan hijau telah terintegrasi secara mendalam dalam upaya Tiongkok mewujudkan pertumbuhan berkualitas tinggi.

CHANGSHA, CHINA - Media OutReach Newswire - 19 October 2026 - Co-produced by Hunan Satellite TV and Mango TV and created by Wang Qin Studio, Season 4 of the food and cultural tourism program Go Where Flavors of Hunan Abound premiered on October 12, 2026, and is airing simultaneously on Hunan Satellite TV and Mango TV from Monday to Thursday at 7:30 p.m.

Under the theme "A Season of World-Class Landscapes," the new season focuses on the development of the Greater Zhangjiajie International Tourism Area. Host Wang Han leads the program's food exploration team through Zhangjiajie, Cili, Jishou, Fenghuang, Changde, Shaoyang and Huaihua, presenting a cultural tourism journey that connects local cuisine with spectacular landscapes and the stories of the people who call these places home.

Connecting Landscapes Through Food

The opening episode takes viewers to Zhangjiajie, beginning with the towering Bailong Elevator before following the hiking trails along Golden Whip Stream. International tourists encountered along the way share that Zhangjiajie was their planned first stop in China. Zhangjiajie welcomes more than one million international visitors annually from over 190 countries.

Yet the destination's international appeal extends beyond its extraordinary scenery. It also lies in the flavors nurtured by the land and the people whose lives are rooted in it.

In Longweiba Village, young entrepreneurs who have returned to their hometowns are rediscovering local ingredients such as kudzu root and vine tea, incorporating them into coffee and bingfen, a traditional chilled jelly dessert. Their creations bring new life to familiar mountain flavors and introduce them to younger generations.

In Cili, local cuisine reveals stories passed down through generations. The dish known as Yanghe Dumi carries a history of mutual support dating back to 1935. After receiving help from their neighbors during difficult times, local residents cut pork tripe into rice-sized pieces to prepare a dish that could be shared among more people. The recipe became a lasting reminder of community solidarity.

The team also visits a centuries-old tree associated with the Red Army and samples Xikou beef. Revolutionary commanders He Long and Xiao Ke once held a pre-battle mobilization meeting at the site. The ancient tree, which survived a lightning strike, embodies the resilience of the local community, a quality echoed in the firm, chewy texture of Xikou beef. Together, the stories and flavors reveal the enduring spirit of the mountains.

Discovering the People Behind the Flavors

At Jixiang Rice Noodle Shop in Jishou, owner Wang Jixiang has been running her business for 35 years. The shop serves four varieties of rice noodles with a selection of toppings. Among them, rice noodles topped with stir-fried pork and fermented chili offer a distinctive combination of sour and spicy flavors characteristic of western Hunan.

The journey continues along the Wanrong River and across Xinn? Bridge, adorned with wish plaques, before reaching the creative home of the Miao folk band Miao Ren San Man.

The band members moved from their mountain village to town to support their children's education and earn a living by running a business, but they never abandoned their musical aspirations. Performing their original song Calling to the Mountains in a Miao village, they express a longing to reach a mountaintop together and release their deepest frustrations through a collective shout.

In Fenghuang, restaurant owner Xiao Yang offers another example of how local culinary traditions are finding new audiences. After leaving military service, he worked as a tour guide and discovered that many visitors knew little about Fenghuang's distinctive local cuisine.

He subsequently introduced Miao-style smoked pork trotters in sour soup, a specialty of the La'ershan area, to a wider market, making modest adjustments to suit broader tastes while preserving its traditional character.

Wang Han also shares the history of Miao sour soup, which he learned about when first tasting the dish. During the migrations of their ancestors, the Miao people often faced shortages of supplies, including salt. They fermented green vegetables and relied on sour flavors for seasoning. Over time, sour soup became a culinary reminder of those journeys.

Today, the distinctive fermented flavor continues to evolve as it is paired with an increasingly diverse range of ingredients. Rather than remaining unchanged, traditional recipes continue to thrive through new interpretations, connecting generations of people to the land and its history.

Connecting Local Journeys with the World

One distinctive feature of the fourth season is the introduction of a food-tasting panel at each destination, bringing together local residents, visitors from other regions and international guests.

After sampling the dishes, panel members vote to select the "Hunan Flavor Signature Dishes."

Among the selected specialties are claypot rice with farm-raised Chinese giant salamander and Tujia-style Sangun Wawa from Zhangjiajie; Xikou beef and Lao Sizhong rice noodles from Cili; and Fangyuan rice noodles and smoked pork trotters in sour soup from Fenghuang.

This interactive format demonstrates how people from different cultural backgrounds can experience and interpret the same dish in their own ways.

The towering sandstone peaks of Zhangjiajie, the Loushui River in Cili, the Wanrong River in Jishou, and the Tuojiang River, Hongqiao Bridge and traditional stilt houses of Fenghuang together form the scenic landscape of the Greater Zhangjiajie International Tourism Area.

Meanwhile, rice noodles, cured meats, sour soup and distinctive local delicacies bring warmth, flavor and everyday life to these natural and cultural landscapes.

About Season 4 of Go Where Flavors of Hunan Abound

Under the theme "A Season of World-Class Landscapes," Season 4 of Go Where Flavors of Hunan Abound focuses on the Greater Zhangjiajie International Tourism Area and adopts a two-episode format for each destination.

The first episode, focusing on rural and mountain flavors, takes viewers hiking, exploring lesser-known destinations and participating in local challenges while visiting ordinary households to discover traditional home-cooked dishes.

The second episode explores the culinary life of urban neighborhoods, visiting long-established restaurants, discovering local food traditions and featuring signature dishes prepared by experienced chefs.

Landscapes provide the setting, while local flavors bring the stories to life. By bringing together China's distinctive natural scenery and authentic regional cuisine, Go Where Flavors of Hunan Abound presents the Greater Zhangjiajie International Tourism Area to international audiences as a vibrant destination rich in culture, character and culinary heritage.

A senior spokesperson for ISYUN stated, "Signing Victoria as our Global Brand Ambassador marks a vital milestone in our journey toward broader international markets.

HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 18 October 2026 - The four-day Hong Kong Electronics Fair (Autumn Edition) 2026 has successfully concluded at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.

At this major industry event showcasing cutting-edge technologies from around the world, migo, an AI-powered robotic companion designed for emotional connection rather than productivity, emerged as one of the exhibition's most talked-about products.

In previous years, the spotlight at the fair largely fell on computing power and technical specifications. This year, however, migo stood out among high-performance tech products with its distinctive approach to emotional companionship, becoming one of the event's standout attractions.

At its dedicated experience zone, migo drew visits from celebrities including Kingdom Yuen, Lam Tze-chung, and Chan Ka-kai. Rather than making promotional appearances, the stars were drawn to the product itself and came to experience it firsthand. Their visits made the migo booth one of the fair's most popular photo spots, generating continued buzz across social media.

Even celebrities familiar with the latest technology could not resist stopping to interact with migo, with some saying they wanted to "take one home." Their enthusiasm was no coincidence. Unlike conventional robots focused on functionality and efficiency, migo stands out for its remarkably lifelike presence. Visitors queued just for a chance to touch and interact with it. What captivated them was its warmth and sense of life. Rather than feeling like a cold machine, migo presents itself as a new family member capable of growing and responding with empathy.

While major AI companies at the exhibition competed on computing performance, migo offered a different answer: emotional companionship. Call its name, and it turns to look at you. Touch it, and it responds with expressions and movements. When you're feeling down, it approaches to comfort you. More importantly, migo can recognize your voice, remember interactions, and gradually develop its own personality through everyday companionship. As meaningful emotional connections become increasingly valued, this kind of warm, responsive interaction is emerging as a new consumer demand.

The enthusiasm surrounding migo signals a broader shift: emotional value is becoming an increasingly important driver of technology consumption. As the companionship economy enters a period of rapid growth and embodied AI reaches a critical turning point, robots are evolving from productivity tools into potential members of the family.

Technology determines what a robot can do; experience determines whether consumers want it in their lives. Consumers are no longer simply purchasing hardware. They are seeking companionship that makes them feel understood and valued. This is the Apple-inspired product philosophy migo is exploring: putting technology in service of experience, bringing emotional intelligence into everyday interactions, and making robots a natural part of daily life.

In this emerging market, whoever succeeds in bringing robots into everyday life could define the next major consumer technology category. migo's answer is to become part of the family.

Although the Hong Kong Electronics Fair (Autumn Edition) 2026 has come to a close, the growing interest in emotional companionship sparked by migo is only beginning. While traditional smart devices have primarily served functional purposes, AI-powered robotic companions like migo are evolving into potentially indispensable everyday partners. A new era of AI emotional companionship for everyone is beginning-and the "Apple moment" for embodied AI may already be here. migo is charting its own path toward that future.

Menuturkan kisah pengentasan kemiskinan dan pembangunan bersama dari sudut pandang setempat

BEIJING, Oct. 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Menandai peringatan Hari Internasional Pengentasan Kemiskinan pada tanggal 17 Oktober, CGTN meluncurkan laman web khusus bagi Program Produksi Bersama Sutradara Global South 2026. Tahun ini, program tersebut mengusung tema "Bangkit dari Kemiskinan: Jalan Menuju Pembangunan Bersama di Global South".

Laman khusus ini menghimpun beragam film dokumenter yang mengajak penonton internasional menyelami kehidupan komunitas dan rumah tangga di berbagai negara. Melalui berbagai karya itu, penonton dapat menyaksikan bagaimana masyarakat menemukan beragam cara untuk memperbaiki taraf hidup mereka.

Diprakarsai oleh China Global Television Network (CGTN), bagian dari China Media Group, Program Produksi Bersama Sutradara Global South merupakan inisiatif kolaborasi pembuatan film dokumenter. Sebagai bagian dari Global South Media Partners Mechanism, program ini sejalan dengan Agenda 2030 untuk Pembangunan Berkelanjutan yang dicanangkan Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa.

Program ini mengangkat berbagai isu yang menjadi kepedulian bersama, mulai dari pengentasan kemiskinan, pembangunan berkelanjutan, ketahanan sosial, dan inovasi akar rumput hingga transformasi ekologis serta pengembangan generasi muda. Melalui pembuatan film yang digarap oleh sineas setempat, berbagi konten, dan distribusi bersama, program ini mendorong pertukaran pengalaman pembangunan.

Program tahun 2026 ini menghimpun berbagai organisasi media dan tim pembuat film dari sekitar 20 negara di Asia, Afrika, Amerika Latin, dan Eropa. Karya-karya mereka mendokumentasikan berbagai inisiatif komunitas dan perubahan sosial di sejumlah bidang, seperti lapangan kerja, perumahan, ketahanan pangan, pemberdayaan perempuan, layanan publik, dan pembangunan perdesaan berkelanjutan.

Film-film itu mengaitkan berbagai isu yang lebih luas ini dengan kehidupan individu. Film dokumenter dari Yordania mengisahkan seorang perempuan yang kembali ke kampung halamannya untuk menekuni pertanian berkelanjutan dan mengelola koperasi bersama para perempuan setempat. Film ini memperlihatkan bagaimana kerja sama di perdesaan mampu menciptakan lapangan kerja sekaligus mempererat ikatan komunitas. Dari Argentina, sebuah film dokumenter menyoroti upaya sebuah universitas di Mendoza dalam membumikan ilmu pengetahuan untuk mendukung konservasi air, peternakan, dan produsen setempat, sehingga hasil riset dapat memberi manfaat nyata bagi komunitas.

Pertanian dan ketahanan pangan juga menjadi tema utama.

CGTN published an article exploring how Ulanqab, a city in north China, is transforming its natural advantages into new growth drivers amid the global AI boom while balancing technological advancement and economic growth with ecological conservation to chart a path toward greener development.

BEIJING, Oct. 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ulanqab, a city in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, is known as China's "potato capital" and "oat capital." Today, it is tapping its abundant wind and solar resources to power the growth of its computing industry, turning its natural advantages into new drivers of economic growth.

Since China launched its national "East Data, West Computing" project in 2022, Ulanqab has accelerated the development of its computing infrastructure. In late 2025, the city unveiled a three-year development strategy to build a "token city," powered by green energy.

According to official data, the city had signed 109 computing center projects as of August 2026. From January to August, the industry generated 5.68 billion yuan (about $849 million) in revenue, up 40.3% year on year.

Chinese President Xi Jinping visited Ulanqab on Friday, calling for better use of the region's abundant wind and solar resources to develop the green computing power industry. He also stressed the need to coordinate high-quality development with high-level environmental protection and stay committed to a path of green development that prioritizes ecological conservation.

From traditional industries to green computing

During his inspection, Xi visited the Chahar High-Tech Development Zone in Ulanqab, where he learned about Inner Mongolia's progress in advancing the construction of a hub for the "East Data, West Computing" project. He stressed the need to ensure the efficient operation of completed projects and finish the construction of follow-up projects on schedule.

He also called for efforts to earnestly implement the requirements for efficient, green and safe development and actively promote the development of the green computing power industry.

The "East Data, West Computing" project aims to build a coordinated national computing network by directing computing demand from eastern China to western regions, optimizing the distribution of data centers and promoting regional development. Inner Mongolia is one of eight national computing hubs established under the initiative.

Computing centers require reliable power supplies, high-speed networks and efficient cooling systems. John Gong, a professor of economics at the University of International Business and Economics, told CGTN that Ulanqab has made effective use of its abundant renewable energy resources to power China's AI development and that Xi's visit underscored his support for Ulanqab's development model, which leverages local resource advantages to drive economic growth as well as technological innovation.

With an average annual temperature of 4.3 degrees Celsius, the city can use natural cooling to reduce data-center energy consumption for nearly 10 months of the year. It also has abundant wind and solar resources and relatively low infrastructure costs. These advantages have enabled Ulanqab to attract leading big data companies, which have established computing centers in the city in just a few years.

By expanding computing infrastructure in cities like this, China is leveraging its abundant renewable energy to forge a greener path for the computing industry.

Prioritizing ecological conservation

While harnessing green resources to drive economic growth and technological innovation, China has also placed strong emphasis on ecological conservation.

Xi visited the Huangqihai Lake nature reserve on Friday, where he learned about local ecological conservation efforts, inspected the lake's shoreline and mudflats, and observed birds inhabiting the area.

He stressed the need to fully implement China's wetland protection law, uphold ecological red lines and safeguard biodiversity. For degraded wetland ecosystems, he called for giving priority to natural restoration, supplemented by human intervention, and carrying out restoration in a scientific and sound manner.

Huangqihai was once an inland, closed-basin lake that came close to drying up due to climate and other factors. In 1993, a county-level nature reserve was established to restore the wetland, and it was upgraded to an autonomous-region-level reserve in 2003.

After years of ecological conservation and restoration, the lake has seen its waters and surrounding vegetation recover, becoming a thriving habitat for wildlife.

From green computing to wetland restoration, Ulanqab illustrates how economic growth and ecological conservation can go hand in hand. By turning local resource advantages into new growth drivers while safeguarding its natural environment, the city demonstrates that green development has become deeply embedded in China's pursuit of high-quality growth.

BEIJING, Oct. 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Menembus hambatan merupakan ungkapan yang kini memiliki arti tersendiri bagi banyak warga Tiongkok. Di tengah tantangan yang dihadapi saat ini, ungkapan ini mengingatkan mereka akan sebuah ekspedisi militer epik yang terjadi hampir satu abad silam.

"Ekspedisi itu merupakan pengembaraan tak tertandingi di era modern." Demikian tulis jurnalis Amerika Serikat, Edgar Snow, 90 tahun silam, setelah bertemu dengan Mao Zedong dan sejumlah penyintas Mars Panjang (Long March) lainnya di wilayah barat laut Tiongkok.

Pada Oktober 1934, setelah mengalami kekalahan besar dalam pertempuran, sebanyak 86.000 prajurit Tentara Merah Pusat memulai perjalanan yang kelak mengubah Tiongkok untuk selamanya. Setelah melewati ratusan pertempuran berdarah, menyeberangi sungai berarus deras, mendaki pegunungan yang diselimuti salju, serta melintasi padang rumput berawa yang mematikan, mereka akhirnya tiba di wilayah utara Shaanxi pada Oktober 1935. Namun, hanya sekitar 8.000 prajurit yang berhasil bertahan hidup.

Seperti yang diungkapkan Edgar Snow, "Apa pun pandangan seseorang terhadap Tentara Merah dan ideologi politik yang mereka wakili, Mars Panjang tetap layak diakui sebagai salah satu pencapaian luar biasa dalam sejarah militer. Jika disandingkan dengan Mars Panjang, perjalanan Hannibal melintasi Pegunungan Alpen ibarat tamasya."

Pada Oktober 1936, setelah pasukan terakhirnya tiba di wilayah barat laut Tiongkok, Tentara Merah berhasil menyatukan ketiga kelompok pasukan utamanya.

Oktober tahun ini menjadi momentum peringatan 90 tahun berakhirnya Mars Panjang.

Namun, apakah kisahnya berhenti sampai di situ? Inilah pertanyaan utama yang diangkat dalam film dokumenter terbaru CGTN berjudul Breaking Through (Menembus Hambatan). Memadukan unsur perjalanan dan sejarah, serial dokumenter ini menelusuri kembali jejak para perintis pemberani itu. Serial ini tidak hanya mengulas bagaimana dan mengapa Mars Panjang terjadi, tetapi juga menyoroti pengaruhnya yang masih terasa dalam kehidupan masyarakat Tiongkok hingga kini. Serial dokumenter ini pun menghadirkan kesimpulan yang menggugah pemikiran. Warisan Mars Panjang yang paling bertahan lama mungkin bukanlah monumen yang tersebar di sepanjang rute yang dilalui para pesertanya pada masa itu. Warisan itu justru tercermin dalam berbagai upaya yang tengah dilakukan saat ini dan berpotensi mengubah tidak hanya Tiongkok, tetapi juga dunia secara keseluruhan.

Sebagaimana tergambar jelas dalam serial dokumenter ini, di berbagai penjuru Tiongkok yang begitu luas, terdapat masyarakat yang menjalankan beragam kegiatan dengan semangat pengorbanan dan ketangguhan. Semangat serupa juga ditunjukkan oleh peserta Mars Panjang pada masa itu. Industri ruang angkasa komersial Tiongkok terus mencatat kemajuan, begitu pula industri baterai kendaraan listrik dalam negeri yang menunjukkan perkembangan terbaru. Keduanya mencerminkan semangat Mars Panjang yang terlihat jelas. Terlebih lagi, dalam banyak kasus, dorongan di balik berbagai inovasi semacam itu serupa dengan yang memotivasi para peserta Mars Panjang pada masa itu: kebutuhan mendesak untuk melepaskan diri dari kepungan dan menciptakan terobosan baru.

Hal ini sangat disadari oleh para prajurit yang tiba di Shaanxi bertahun-tahun silam. Mereka menyadari bahwa dengan bertahan hidup, mereka masih bisa kembali berjuang di kemudian hari demi masa depan.

Bagi mereka, tiba di Shaanxi bukanlah akhir dari perjuangan, melainkan awal yang baru. Gelombang besar yang kelak mengubah sejarah itu muncul dari Jiangxi yang jauh dan kini berkumpul di satu titik untuk berhenti sejenak. Namun, yang ditinggalkannya di sana bukanlah genangan air yang diam, melainkan waduk berisi air jernih dan murni yang terus menyuburkan dan menginspirasi.

Total Equity Increases 19.2% to US$114.70 Million as Company Prioritizes Expansion Across GPU Computing and AI Model Service

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct. 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VCI Global Limited (NASDAQ: VCIG) ("VCI Global" or the "Company"), today announced its unaudited financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2026 ("1H2026"), as it advances its strategic transition toward AI computing, AI token services and infrastructure-related opportunities.

The first half of 2026 marked a significant transition for VCI Global following the separation and divestment of its capital markets consultancy, fintech and other non-core businesses. The Company is now concentrating its resources and capital allocation on building AI computing capabilities, commercializing AI services and developing infrastructure opportunities across the AI value chain.

At the same time, VCI Global is pursuing complementary opportunities in renewable energy, energy storage and carbon assets as it works toward a broader infrastructure model connecting AI, computing, energy and sustainability.

Total equity increased 19.2% to US$114.70 million as of June 30, 2026, compared with US$96.21 million as compared to December 31, 2025.

Total liabilities declined 17.7% to US$17.03 million from US$20.69 million over the same period.

Cash and bank balances rose more than fivefold to US$5.19 million from US$0.94 million, supported by financing activities and the disposal of an investment.

Revenue was US$2.56 million, compared with US$18.74 million in 1H2025, reflecting the Group's portfolio restructuring and changes in its operating profile.

VGAIN Compute was launched, providing customers with a platform to purchase AI tokens and access multiple supported large language models, including OpenAI GPT, Kimi, Meta Llama and Qwen.

Acquisition of the controlling stake in PT Fine Carbon Credit Indonesia (FCCI), an Indonesian carbon asset platform associated with approximately 241,000 hectares of forestry areas across four project sites.

"The first half of 2026 represents an important inflection point for VCI Global as we reposition the Company around AI infrastructure and scalable technology services," said Ang Zhi Feng, Chief Financial Officer of VCI Global. "While revenue declined as a result of the transition, we ended the period with higher total equity, lower liabilities and an increased cash balance. Our priority is to manage liquidity carefully and allocate capital to initiatives with clear commercial potential as we advance our AI services and infrastructure strategy."

REVENUE REFLECTS PORTFOLIO RESTRUCTURING

The first half of 2026 represents a fundamental change in VCI Global's operating profile.

The Company has completed the separation and divestment of its capital markets consultancy, fintech, and other non-core businesses, reducing exposure to businesses that were not aligned with its longer-term technology and infrastructure strategy.

Revenue for 1H2026 was US$2.56 million, compared with US$18.74 million in 1H2025. The decrease primarily reflects businesses that have since been separated or divested, along with the transition to a more focused AI infrastructure and technology operating model.

 

The Company recorded a net loss of US$8.43 million in 1H2026, compared with net profit of US$4.66 million in 1H2025. The change reflects the Company's revised operating profile following portfolio restructuring, together with changes in revenue and expenses. The Company continues to develop its AI and technology initiatives, with future performance dependent on commercial adoption and execution.

Cost of services declined 97.1% to US$104,641 from US$3.66 million in the prior-year period. The reduction primarily reflects the divestment of the business consultancy subsidiary in 2025 and the completion of several large-scale technology projects in the prior period.

Consultant fees were nil, compared with US$251,622 in 1H2025, following the divestment of the business consultancy subsidiary. IT expenses decreased to US$55,767 from US$3.29 million, as new technology projects remained in their initial rollout stages during the period.

These lower expenses reflect the Group's changed business structure and project cycle. They should not, on their own, be interpreted as evidence of improved profitability, as the Company's financial performance will also depend on future revenue generation and the costs associated with scaling its new businesses.

 

CASH POSITION AND CAPITAL ALLOCATION

As of June 30, 2026, total equity increased 19.2% to US$114.70 million from US$96.21 million at December 31, 2025, while total liabilities declined 17.7% to US$17.03 million from US$20.69 million.

Cash and bank balances increased to US$5.19 million from US$0.94 million at year-end 2025. The increase was supported by financing activities and the disposal of an investment.

The Company intends to prioritize capital deployment based on commercial demand, financing availability and project readiness, with investment priorities spanning AI Infrastructure, GPU computing and related infrastructure.

VGAIN COMPUTE: FROM AI ACCESS TO AI CONSUMPTION

VCI Global announced the launch of VGAIN Compute on October 6, 2026, through its subsidiary V Gallant Limited.

The platform enables users to purchase AI tokens to access supported large language models, including OpenAI GPT, Kimi, Meta Llama and Qwen. Announced applications include content generation, coding, research, business applications and workflow automation.

The platform introduces a customer-facing offering through which VCI Global can pursue revenue from AI services. Its token-based model provides a mechanism for charging users for access to supported AI capabilities.

The broader market opportunity is expanding as businesses move AI from experimentation into production. Gartner forecasts worldwide AI-optimised IaaS spending of US$42.3 billion in 2026, rising to US$66.1 billion in 2027. Gartner also estimates that global spending on AI inference infrastructure will reach US$23.3 billion in 2026, exceeding the US$19 billion forecast for AI model training infrastructure.

The Company's next priorities include expanding platform usage, evaluating additional models and developing enterprise and developer applications.

DEVELOPING AN INTEGRATED POWER?AI?CARBON ECOSYSTEM

VCI Global's longer-term infrastructure strategy extends beyond computing capacity to the resources required to support the expansion of AI infrastructure, including electricity generation, solar power, energy storage and data center operations.

The Company intends to develop an integrated infrastructure model designed to connect energy supply with computing demand, with the objective of improving power availability, supporting scalable AI computing and enhancing long-term operating efficiency.

As AI workloads become increasingly compute-intensive, access to reliable and scalable power is becoming an increasingly important consideration in the development of data center and GPU infrastructure. VCI Global believes that combining computing infrastructure with energy development can provide greater control over critical infrastructure requirements as its AI businesses expand.

LONGER-TERM OPPORTUNITIES IN ENERGY AND FOREST CONSERVATION

VCI Global announced that V Gallant had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire a 70% stake in PT Fine Carbon Credit Indonesia (FCCI), a platform associated with approximately 241,000 hectares of forestry areas across four project sites in Indonesia.

The proposed acquisition provides a potential basis for developing forestry-linked carbon credit projects, subject to transaction completion and applicable technical, legal and regulatory requirements.

The voluntary carbon market offers a potential monetization route for eligible forestry projects, but credit prices vary significantly according to project type, certification standard, carbon integrity, vintage, and buyer demand.

According to Ecosystem Marketplace's 2025 State of the Voluntary Carbon Market report, based on 2024 transactions, the average price was approximately US$14.97 per tonne of CO₂ equivalent for improved forest management credits and US$20.44 for tree-planting and restoration credits. Some premium credits may command prices above US$50, depending on their characteristics and market conditions.

COMMERCIAL PRIORITIES AND INVESTOR MILESTONES

VCI Global's initiatives cover several potential sources of revenue, each with different development requirements.

GPU cloud services: VGAIN Cloud is intended to support demand for AI computing. Relevant milestones include infrastructure deployment, available GPU capacity, customer contracts, utilisation and revenue generated from computing services.

AI data center infrastructure: Galatron AI Factory's initial planned 5MW deployment provides a defined development milestone within the broader 500MW roadmap. Progress will depend on site readiness, power availability, funding and customer demand.

Energy infrastructure: Potential revenue opportunities depend on the development and ownership of specific projects, available generation or storage capacity, and contracted demand.

Carbon assets: FCCI represents a potential forestry-linked carbon credit opportunity. Key milestones include transaction completion, project qualification, credit issuance and actual sales.

These indicators provide a clearer basis for evaluating the Company's progress than global market growth alone.

OUTLOOK

The global expansion of AI infrastructure presents opportunities across model access, cloud computing, data center development and supporting energy infrastructure. VCI Global has announced initiatives across these areas, beginning with the launch of VGAIN Compute and extending to planned computing infrastructure and complementary asset opportunities.

The Company's ability to benefit from these markets will depend on execution and commercial validation. Market forecasts indicate the scale of industry investment, but they do not establish VCI Global's future revenue, market share or profitability.

VCI Global intends to progress its initiatives in phases, with the commercial outcomes of each business dependent on customer demand, operating performance, capital availability, project milestones and applicable regulatory requirements.

"Our ambition is to build an AI infrastructure business that connects customer demand, computing capacity and the energy required to support it," said Victor Hoo, Group Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman of VCI Global. "VGAIN Compute provides a commercial entry point for building customer relationships and recurring usage, while our infrastructure strategy creates opportunities to participate more deeply in the AI value chain. Over the longer term, we see the potential to develop an integrated model in Asia that brings together AI computing, energy and forest conservation."

"We intend to demonstrate the value of this transition through execution. That means growing customer usage, bringing productive computing capacity into service and converting commercial opportunities into revenue. Those are the milestones that will define the next phase of VCI Global." He added.

Management will continue to emphasize commercial validation, disciplined capital allocation and phased execution. The pace of development and contribution from individual initiatives will depend on customer demand, funding, regulatory considerations and project milestones.

HANOI, VIETNAM - Media OutReach Newswire - 17 October 2026 - Green SM and Elife, a global B2B super app enabler providing mobility and delivery solutions, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to jointly develop integrated travel and green mobility solutions for international travelers.

The agreement marks another step in Green SM's global expansion strategy and underscores its commitment to building partnerships with reputable partners to deliver high-quality experiences to users worldwide.

Under the MOU, the two parties will actively work to integrate Green SM's mobility services into Elife's global network, enabling Elife's partners to offer Green SM services directly through their own platforms. This will allow users to conveniently book rides and access Green SM services through their preferred apps without switching between multiple platforms. The integration is planned for rollout across Southeast Asia, Europe and the US.

Through this partnership, Green SM will expand its access to Elife's global customer network, particularly international travelers visiting Vietnam. Elife's partner platforms collectively serve approximately 100 million monthly active users (MAU) worldwide. This presents an opportunity for Green SM to connect with a broader base of travelers and meet their demand for high-quality, reliable and seamless mobility experiences at their destinations.

In turn, partners across Elife's network will be able to add Green SM's electric mobility services to their offerings, enhancing the experience they deliver to users. Operating a fleet consisting entirely of VinFast electric vehicles, Green SM provides quiet, relaxing and zero-tailpipe-emission journeys. The comfortable interiors and smooth, quiet performance of electric vehicles help ensure a pleasant experience, even on longer trips.

Beyond service integration, Green SM and Elife will collaborate on promotional offers for international travelers and strengthen their communications efforts across online and offline channels. Through these initiatives, the two parties aim to increase brand awareness, bring their brands closer to customers and unlock further growth opportunities in international markets.

Ms. Tran Thi Thu Phuong, Director of Sales at GSM, said: "Our partnership with Elife marks another step in Green SM's global expansion strategy, creating opportunities to strengthen ties with reputable partners and bring our brand closer to a broader international customer base. Through Elife's global partner network, Green SM aims to expand its reach and make electric mobility more accessible and convenient, helping advance the adoption of green transportation in Vietnam and international markets."

Mr. Dan Deng, Chief Executive Officer of Elife, said: "Our mission is to help our partners deliver trusted mobility services wherever their users travel. Integrating Green SM's fully electric fleet into our global network will enable our partners to expand their range of high-quality green mobility options directly through their own platforms, while retaining their distinct brand identities. Through this collaboration, we aim to help elevate the travel experience for people around the world."

The partnership comes amid strong growth in the global electric taxi market. According to Mordor Intelligence, the market is projected to grow from USD 29.54 billion in 2025 to USD 110.56 billion by 2031, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24.6%. Notably, the airport transfer and tourism segment is forecast to grow even faster, with a CAGR of 27.6% over the same period.

Founded in Vietnam in 2023, Green SM has developed a green mobility ecosystem across Vietnam, Laos, Indonesia, the Philippines, India, Kazakhstan, Denmark, the Netherlands and the US. As part of its international expansion, Green SM has completed approximately 850 million rides, covering nearly 6 billion kilometers and helping reduce more than 800,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions, equivalent to the amount of carbon absorbed by approximately 36 million trees.

The partnership between Green SM and Elife further strengthens the connection between international travel platforms and green mobility solutions, delivering more convenient and reliable travel experiences for people worldwide. The agreement also supports the broader adoption of electric mobility solutions, contributing to a greener and smarter future for the tourism and transportation sectors.
