    Phuket Strengthens Position as a Secure International Residential Destination for Global Families

    Growing international demand, strengthened long-haul connectivity, and the continued evolution of Laguna Phuket are reinforcing Thailand’s largest island as a stable, private, and internationally accessible place to live and invest.

    PHUKET, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 20 March 2026 – Phuket’s evolution from a world-renowned holiday island into a mature international residential community is entering a new phase, supported by expanding long-haul connectivity and sustained global confidence in Thailand as a safe and welcoming destination.

    Phuket Strengthens Position as a Secure International Residential Destination for Global Families

    The island has recorded consistent growth in long-term residents and international property buyers, reflecting a broader shift among globally mobile families seeking stability, quality of life and secure residency pathways. Phuket offers privacy, natural beauty and international-standard infrastructure within a country known for hospitality and political stability.

    Thailand welcomed more than 35 million international visitors in 2025. Long-haul arrivals exceeded 11 million, rising 13% year-on-year and generating approximately 668 billion baht in tourism revenue. Despite short-term geopolitical fluctuations, long-term demand for Thailand as a stable and accessible destination has remained resilient.

    Connectivity continues to strengthen with new direct long-haul services from Europe, including Paris, London and Scandinavia. Improved access is driving interest in extended stays, family relocation and residential investment, as visitors increasingly explore long-term living options.

    Phuket offers international-standard healthcare, leading international schools, yacht marinas, championship golf courses and well-developed infrastructure. High-speed connectivity and direct air links to more than 80 cities ensure seamless access to global business and travel networks while maintaining privacy and lifestyle comfort.

    Industry research ranks Phuket among the world’s leading destinations for branded residences, alongside Dubai, Miami and New York. Foreign buyers account for more than 60% of condominium purchases, underscoring sustained international confidence.

    Thailand’s structured long-term visa framework provides renewable residency pathways for retirees, investors, entrepreneurs and remote professionals. For buyers of select premium residences, Banyan Group facilitates Thailand Elite long-term residency visas, offering multi-year entry privileges.

    At the centre of this evolution is Laguna Phuket, developed by Banyan Group. Over 35 years it has grown into one of Asia’s most established integrated resort and residential communities. Spanning more than 1,000 acres along Bang Tao Beach, Laguna Phuket includes six hotels, an award-winning golf course, wellness facilities, RAVA beach club and more than 3,000 branded residences linked by scenic lagoons. Residents from over 70 nationalities call it home.

    The next phase includes approximately 5,000 additional residences across Laguna Phuket and neighbouring Laguna Lakelands, reflecting sustained confidence in Phuket’s long-term residential future.

    Banyan Group Residences, ranked fifth worldwide and number one in Asia in branded residences, plans to launch approximately US$1 billion in new residential projects in Phuket, reinforcing its commitment to the island’s continued development.

    Phuket today represents more than a luxury retreat. It has matured into a secure, internationally integrated residential market offering stability, privacy and long-term clarity for globally minded families.

    Sprite Kembali Menjadi Minuman Ringan Resmi secara Global dalam Liga

    NEW YORK, AS – Media OutReach Newswire – 20 Maret 2026 – The National Basketball Association (NBA) dan The Coca-Cola Company mengumumkan kemitraan pemasaran global terbaru pada hari ini, menghadirkan kembali Sprite® sebagai Mitra Minuman Ringan Global Resmi dalam liga.

    Sprite x NBA Image

    Perjanjian ini menandai kembalinya salah satu kolaborasi merek yang paling ikonik di NBA, yang menyatukan kembali dua nama yang telah menjalin koneksi mendalam terhadap budaya basket selama beberapa dekade. Sprite, minuman ringan lemon-jeruk nipis terkemuka di dunia, akan menjadi mitra minuman ringan eksklusif dari NBA di seluruh dunia.

    The Coca-Cola Company bermitra untuk pertama kalinya dengan NBA pada tahun 1986, dan selama hampir tiga dekade, Sprite telah membantu membentuk koneksi antara bola basket dengan para penggemar dalam olahraga, musik, mode, dan ekspresi diri. Dari dampak budaya “Obey Your Thirst” atau “Puaskan Dahagamu” di Amerika Utara, hingga turnamen streetball di Asia, kolaborasi yang dikemukakan oleh pemain di Amerika Latin, dan aktivasi yang didorong oleh budaya di seluruh Eropa dan Afrika, warisan Sprite dalam budaya bola basket telah terbentang lintas generasi dan benua. Sprite juga menjadi sponsor utama dari Slam Dunk Contest di NBA All-Star mulai 2003—2016. Bersama-sama, Sprite dan NBA telah membantu menentukan tampilan merek secara autentik dalam budaya di seputar permainan ini.

    “Sprite selalu menjadi merek yang menyambut individualitas dan ekspresi diri. Nilai-nilai ini disambut dengan baik oleh para penggemar bola basket di seluruh dunia,” kata Kerry Tatlock, Wakil Presiden Eksekutif Kemitraan Pemasaran dan Media Global, NBA. “Kami sangat bersemangat untuk menyambut kembalinya Sprite ke dalam keluarga NBA dan menantikan kolaborasi bersama dengan cara-cara baru bagi para penggemar untuk menikmati permainan ini.”

    “Basketball merupakan sentral dari DNA Sprite,” kata Manolo Arroyo, Wakil Presiden Eksekutif dan Pejabat Pemasaran Tertinggi Global, The Coca-Cola Company. “Bersatu kembali dengan NBA berarti berkreasi bersama untuk langkah berikutnya, melakukan eksperimen dengan pengalaman baru bagi penggemar, menjajaki format baru, dan menyapa generasi berikutnya di mana pun mereka berada. Bola basket bukanlah sekadar suatu permainan, melainkan juga penggerak budaya global, dan Sprite, bersama NBA, akan membantu menciptakan momen dan kenangan yang mendorongnya.”

    Untuk memperdalam komitmennya terhadap para atlet yang mewujudkan orisinalitas dan individualitas yang berani, Sprite terus membangun relasi yang sudah terjalin dengan 2026 NBA All-Star Game MVP Anthony Edwards. Edwards merepresentasikan generasi baru dari para bintang global yang memiliki pengaruh sampai ke luar lapangan, sehingga menjadikannya sebagai mitra yang natural bagi Sprite.

    “Saya menyukai Sprite yang selalu menjadi merek yang mendorong Anda untuk melakukan hal-hal dengan cara Anda sendiri,” kata Anthony Edwards, Penjaga Penyerang, Minnesota Timberwolves. “Rasanya luar biasa sebagai bagian dari kemitraan legendaris ini antara Sprite dan NBA. Saya sangat bersemangat untuk merepresentasikan merek ini, dan menunjukkan pentingnya kepada generasi berikutnya untuk bersikap jujur kepada diri sendiri.”

    Berdasarkan perjanjian baru ini, Sprite akan diaktifkan di seluruh panggung global terbesar NBA, termasuk momen andalan liga, serta ajang internasional seperti NBA Global Games. Melalui kemitraan ini, para penggemar akan menyaksikan pengalaman imersif, rangkaian konten kustom di platform NBA, dan promosi eksklusif yang mendekatkannya dengan komunitas penggemar NBA.

    Kolaborasi yang diperbarui ini dibangun di atas momentum terkini, yang meliputi pengenalan kaleng Sprite edisi terbatas dengan merek bersama, yang menampilkan tim NBA terpilih di pasar yang berpartisipasi, sehingga memberikan cara baru bagi penggemar untuk merayakan komunitas penggemar lokal dan kebanggaan regional. Melalui kampanye pemasaran global terpadu, penyampaian cerita yang mengutamakan platform digital, program retail, dan pengalaman penggemar dalam pasar, Sprite akan menghubungkan energi bola basket secara langsung dengan kesegaran sejati. Kemitraan ini dibangun di atas kemitraan Sprite yang sudah terjalin bersama keluarga NBA, termasuk kemitraan tim dengan 17 tim NBA.

    Sprite trở lại với tư cách là Nước giải khát chính thức của giải đấu trên toàn thế giới

    NEW YORK, HOA KỲ – Media OutReach Newswire – Ngày 20/3/2026 – Hiệp hội Bóng rổ Quốc gia (NBA) và Công ty Coca-Cola hôm nay đã chính thức công bố thỏa thuận hợp tác mới trong hoạt động marketing trên toàn cầu, theo đó, mang nhãn hàng Sprite® quay trở lại với vai trò là Đối tác Nước giải khát chính thức toàn cầu của giải NBA.

    Sprite x NBA Image

    Thỏa thuận này đánh dấu sự trở lại của một trong những hoạt động hợp tác thương hiệu mang tính biểu tượng nhất của NBA, tái hợp hai tên tuổi đã có mối liên kết sâu sắc với văn hóa bóng rổ trong nhiều thập kỷ. Sprite, thương hiệu nước giải khát chanh–lime hàng đầu thế giới, sẽ trở thành đối tác nước giải khát độc quyền của NBA trên phạm vi toàn cầu.

    Công ty Coca-Cola lần đầu hợp tác với NBA vào năm 1986, và trong gần ba thập kỷ, Sprite đã góp phần định hình cách thức bóng rổ kết nối với người mộ điệu bằng thể thao, âm nhạc và thời trang cũng như sự thể hiện cá tính. Từ tầm ảnh hưởng văn hóa của chiến dịch “Obey Your Thirst” (Lắng nghe cơn khát của bạn) tại Bắc Mỹ, đến các giải bóng rổ đường phố (streetball) ở châu Á, những dự án hợp tác với sự tham gia dẫn dắt của các cầu thủ tại Mỹ Latinh, và các phong trào văn hóa tại châu Âu và châu Phi, di sản của Sprite trong văn hóa bóng rổ được kế tục và trải dài qua nhiều thế hệ và châu lục. Sprite cũng từng là nhà tài trợ chính cho cuộc thi Slam Dunk tại NBA All-Star từ năm 2003 đến 2016. Sprite và NBA đã cùng nhau góp phần định hình cách thức các thương hiệu xuất hiện một cách chân thực trong văn hóa xoay quanh môn thể thao này.

    Kerry Tatlock, Phó Chủ tịch Điều hành phụ trách Quan hệ Đối tác Marketing Toàn cầu và Truyền thông của NBA cho biết: “Sprite luôn là một thương hiệu tôn vinh cá tính và sự thể hiện bản thân – những giá trị có sự cộng hưởng mạnh mẽ với người yêu thích môn bóng rổ trên toàn thế giới. Chúng tôi rất vui mừng được chào đón Sprite trở lại gia đình NBA và mong chờ được cùng làm việc với thương hiệu nhằm tạo ra những con đường trải nghiệm mới cho người hâm mộ trải nghiệm môn thể thao này.”

    Manolo Arroyo, Phó Chủ tịch Điều hành kiêm Giám đốc Marketing Toàn cầu của Coca-Cola Company chia sẻ: “Bóng rổ là một phần cốt lõi trong DNA của Sprite. Việc tái hợp với NBA là để cùng nhau kiến tạo tương lai, trong đó thử nghiệm các trải nghiệm mới cho người hâm mộ, khám phá các format mới nổi và tiếp cận thế hệ tiếp theo theo cách riêng của họ. Bóng rổ không chỉ là một môn thể thao, đó là một động lực văn hóa toàn cầu, và Sprite, cùng với NBA, sẽ góp phần tạo nên những khoảnh khắc và kỷ niệm thúc đẩy động lực này.”

    Tiếp tục củng cố cam kết với các vận động viên thể hiện cá tính mạnh mẽ và sự khác biệt, Sprite phát triển mối quan hệ hiện có với Anthony Edwards — Cầu thủ xuất sắc nhất (MVP) của NBA All-Star Game 2026. Edwards đại diện cho thế hệ ngôi sao toàn cầu mới, có sức ảnh hưởng vượt ra ngoài sân đấu, giúp anh trở thành đối tác lý tưởng của Sprite.

    Anthony Edwards, hậu vệ của Minnesota Timberwolves chia sẻ: “Tôi thích việc Sprite luôn là một thương hiệu khuyến khích bạn làm mọi thứ theo cách của riêng mình. Được trở thành một phần của quan hệ hợp tác huyền thoại giữa Sprite và NBA là điều tuyệt vời. Tôi rất hào hứng khi đại diện cho thương hiệu và truyền cảm hứng cho thế hệ tiếp theo về sức mạnh của việc sống đúng với bản thân.”

    Theo thỏa thuận mới, Sprite sẽ xuất hiện tại các sự kiện toàn cầu lớn nhất của NBA, bao gồm những cột mốc quan trọng của giải đấu cũng như các sự kiện quốc tế như NBA Global Games. Thông qua hợp tác này, người hâm mộ sẽ được trải nghiệm các hoạt động tương tác sống động, chuỗi nội dung riêng trên các nền tảng của NBA và các chương trình khuyến mãi độc quyền giúp họ gần gũi hơn với cộng đồng mộ điệu giải NBA.

    Sự hợp tác được tái thiết này cũng dựa trên đà phát triển gần đây, bao gồm hoạt động ra mắt các lon Sprite phiên bản giới hạn mang thương hiệu đồng hợp tác với một số đội NBA tại các thị trường đang tham gia – mang đến cho người hâm mộ những cách thức mới để thể hiện tình yêu đội bóng và niềm tự hào khu vực. Thông qua một số chiến dịch marketing toàn cầu tích hợp, ưu tiên nội dung số, chương trình bán lẻ và trải nghiệm người hâm mộ tại địa phương, Sprite sẽ kết nối năng lượng của bóng rổ với cảm giác giải khát đỉnh cao. Mối quan hệ hợp tác này cũng tiếp nối các kết nối hiện có giữa Sprite và hệ sinh thái NBA, bao gồm quan hệ hợp tác với 17 đội bóng NBA.

    Cushman & Wakefield Interpretation Report Highlights Eight Impact Areas for Real Estate Market

    HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 20 March 2026 – Global real estate services firm Cushman & Wakefield has released its China’s Two Sessions 2026: Interpreting the Government Work Report publication. Against a backdrop of increasingly complex domestic and international conditions, the 2026 government work report outlines more flexible and adaptive targets for national economic development. These policy directions will have a profound influence on the real estate sector. The market’s transition from focusing on incremental expansion to revitalizing and optimizing existing assets — combined with the accelerating integration of artificial intelligence across industries —will reshape market structures, redefine asset values, and reconfigure spatial development patterns in far-reaching ways.

    Macroeconomic Stability Strengthens the Foundation for Commercial Real Estate Stabilization

    China’s core economic targets for 2026 are clearly defined, with GDP growth set between 4.5%–5%, balancing the dual objectives of stabilizing growth and adjusting structure. This forms a strong macro foundation for the stabilization and gradual recovery of the commercial real estate sector. Between 2024 and 2025, GDP growth remained steady at around 5.0%. For 2026, the fiscal deficit ratio is maintained at a relatively high 4.0%, with RMB4.4 trillion in local special‑purpose bonds. The quota for ultra‑long‑term special treasury bonds is further expanded to RMB1.3 trillion. Coordinated fiscal and monetary policies will continue to support leasing demand recovery and improved business sentiment in the commercial property market.

    Accelerated Industry Transformation Sees Quality Enhancement of Existing Assets Become the Core Theme

    The report emphasizes a three‑pronged approach of “city‑specific policies to control new supply, reduce inventory, and improve quality”, while encouraging diverse channels to revitalize existing housing stock and advancing the construction of “good homes.” This marks an accelerated shift from incremental expansion to quality enhancement of existing assets. In 2024, China’s real estate value‑added as a proportion of GDP was just 6.3%, far below the 12.56% average of developed economies. This reflects a structural imbalance characterized by heavy investment in development and insufficient focus on services and leasing. The ongoing transition will make asset management, property services, and leasing operations increasingly central to asset valuation.

    Consumption‑Driven Momentum Creates a New Growth Window for Retail Properties

    Consumption‑boosting policies are injecting new vitality into the retail property market. The government work report allocates RMB250 billion of ultra‑long‑term special treasury bonds to support product upgrades and replacement, complemented by RMB100 billion in coordinated fiscal‑financial funds — creating a RMB350 billion consumption stimulus package. In 2025, China’s total retail sales of consumer goods exceeded RMB50 trillion, with per‑capita GDP reaching USD13,953, signaling a critical inflection point where service‑oriented consumption accelerates. With services currently accounting for just 46.1% of consumption, there remains significant room for growth. Policies promoting “high‑quality service consumption” and “new consumption scenarios,” combined with the promotion of staggered school holidays in spring and autumn, will create opportunities for high‑quality shopping centers focused on experiential and social retail formats.

    AI‑Powered Intelligent Economy Drives an Upgrade in Office Market Demand

    The rapid evolution of the intelligent economy is reshaping office market demand. The work report calls for expansion of “AI+,” wider deployment of intelligent agents, and accelerated development of large‑scale computing clusters, indicating the transition of AI into commercialized and scaled applications. In 2025, China’s core digital economy industries accounted for more than 10.5% of GDP, with the target set at 12.5% during the 15th Five‑Year Plan. AI‑related companies are expected to become key new leasing drivers in 2026. This will also stimulate a fresh investment cycle for data centers and industrial parks, with core computing hub cities — in the Beijing‑Tianjin‑Hebei region, Yangtze River Delta, and the Guangdong‑Hong Kong‑Macao Greater Bay Area — set to benefit first.

    Capital Market Reforms Expand, Enabling a Full “Investment–Financing–Management–Exit” Cycle for Commercial Real Estate

    Capital market reforms continue to support expansion in commercial real estate investment. The work report calls for deepened reform of comprehensive investment and financing mechanisms, expanded exit channels for private equity and venture capital, and accelerated growth of the public REITs market. By 2025, China’s public REITs issuance exceeded RMB210 billion, making it the largest REITs market in Asia. In 2026, commercial public REITs enter their first year of development, with pilots extended to hotels and commercial offices. This establishes a “dual‑engine” landscape of “infrastructure + commercial real estate” and enables a more complete investment‑financing‑management‑exit cycle

    Further Opening‑Up Boosts Cross‑Border Logistics and Foreign Investment Demand

    China’s opening‑up objectives in 2026 feature two core characteristics: expanding services sector openness to attract foreign investment, and promoting standardized, high‑quality development of cross‑border e‑commerce. In 2025, China’s cross‑border e‑commerce imports and exports totaled RMB2.75 trillion, with growth outpacing overall trade for the fourth consecutive year. The sector’s demand for high‑specification warehouses — characterized by high density and rapid turnover —continues to rise. Cushman & Wakefield data shows that the warehouse market is experiencing volume growth alongside price adjustment, with notable regional differences. As cross‑border e‑commerce becomes more regulated, and cold‑chain logistics demand continues to expand, green‑certified, intelligent high‑spec warehouses are expected to gain a competitive advantage.

    Advancement of New Urbanization Brings Opportunities for Urban Clusters and Urban Renewal

    A notable highlight among 2026 urbanization policies is the first‑ever proposal to build “innovation‑driven industrial communities and business communities.” This concept breaks the traditional boundary between industrial parks and business districts, fostering integrated complexes that combine office, commercial, and residential functions. The report also supports the development of world‑class city clusters in the Beijing‑Tianjin‑Hebei region, the Yangtze River Delta, and the Greater Bay Area, while enhancing the dual‑city Chengdu‑Chongqing Economic Circle and accelerating growth in the middle‑Yangtze city cluster — further intensifying regional differentiation in the commercial property market. Urban renewal and revitalization of existing stock assets are core pillars of the current urbanization strategy. Policies promoting the reuse of existing land and idle buildings align closely with efforts to revitalize existing housing stock. For owners and operators of prime urban assets, regeneration projects offer strategic opportunities for repositioning and value enhancement.

    Green Transformation Prompts Sustainability Certifications to Become a Key Competitive Advantage

    The work report dedicates a standalone section to the green transition, announcing dual controls on total carbon emissions and intensity, as well as new policy tools such as zero‑carbon parks and a national low‑carbon transition fund. In 2025, China’s national carbon market saw 235 million tons of allowances traded, with transaction value reaching RMB14.63 billion, up approximately 24% year‑on‑year. Carbon costs have become an increasingly important factor in corporate leasing and location decisions. With 97.9% of newly built urban buildings in 2024 meeting green standards, green retrofits of existing buildings are gaining momentum. Commercial properties certified under LEED, WELL, and China’s Green Building Label standard enjoy notable advantages in rental premiums and tenant attraction.

    Sabrina Wei, Chief Policy Analyst and Head of Research, North China, Cushman & Wakefield, said, “The 2026 government work report outlines a clear development vision for commercial real estate characterized by macroeconomic stability, targeted policies, and structural transformation. A GDP growth rate of 4.5%-5% will provide market stability, a RMB350 billion consumption stimulus will activate demand for retail properties, “AI+” will reshape the office market; capital market reforms and public REITs will enable a full “Investment–Financing–Management–Exit” cycle, urban renewal will unlock values of existing assets, and green certification will define new competitiveness for the industry. As the real estate industry transitions from a construction‑focused model to one centered on operations and services, institutions with strong capabilities in asset management and high‑quality operational service delivery will be best positioned to capture the emerging opportunities of this transformative new cycle.”

  • CGTN: Tackling the TB epidemic: From local innovation to global cooperation

    BEIJING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 20 March 2026 – China’s multifaceted strategy to end the tuberculosis epidemic—ranging from high-tech local innovations to global humanitarian missions—is providing a new blueprint for international public health. CGTN published an article analyzing how this integrated prevention model, highlighted by Peng Liyuan, wife of Chinese President Xi Jinping and also the WHO goodwill ambassador for tuberculosis (TB) and HIV/AIDS, leverages AI-driven screening in provinces like Jiangsu and the expertise of Chinese medical teams abroad to transform the vision of a TB-free world into a tangible reality.

    In a written statement to a virtual event commemorating the World Health Organization (WHO) World Tuberculosis Day 2026 on Wednesday, Peng Liyuan, wife of Chinese President Xi Jinping and also the WHO goodwill ambassador for tuberculosis (TB) and HIV/AIDS, called for international support and participation in global TB prevention and treatment.

    Peng said that the event’s theme, “Led by countries, powered by people,” is of great significance for facilitating joint international action against TB as a public health challenge.

    Peng noted that with a firm commitment to protecting people’s health and the goal of ending the TB epidemic, the WHO has done a great deal of effective work and reversed the recent upward trend in global cases. She highlighted that China’s progress is rooted in a multi-sectoral approach, leveraging technological innovation and a comprehensive healthcare network serving over 1.4 billion people.

    This year also marks the 15th year of China’s large-scale volunteer campaign for TB prevention and control, involving over 1 million volunteers who have carried out over 80,000 programs.

    “I have been joining many of them on visits to local neighborhoods, schools and healthcare facilities,” Peng said, adding that she is a “proud witness” to their compassion and the progress made in China’s fight against TB. She called on people from all walks of life to share warmth and care to “build a community of health for all.”

    A proven model for incidence decline

    China’s progress is exemplified by the practical efforts in Jiangsu Province, where the reported TB incidence rate fell to 21.17 per 100,000 in 2025. A key factor in this progress is a smart screening system that brings advanced technology to the grassroots level.

    “In the past, we had to review every single record manually. Now, AI-assisted screening has drastically improved our diagnostic efficiency,” Wang Yangzhu, deputy chief physician of radiology at a community health center in Nanjing’s Jiangning District, told China Media Group (CMG).

    Beyond AI-assisted diagnostics, which now cover over 100 medical institutions in the province, Jiangsu has pioneered a new short-course treatment that slashes the recovery period for drug-resistant TB from 18 months to just six. Complementing this technology is a robust policy safety net: the government provides free drug-resistance screening for all suspected cases and free second-line medications for those in need, ensuring patients can afford the care they require.

    This localized practice is a reflection of a broader national achievement. Since 2012, both the incidence and mortality rates of TB in China have dropped by approximately 30%, a decline rate nearly double the global average, according to the National Disease Control and Prevention Administration. With a treatment rate consistently above 90%, China has transitioned into the ranks of countries with moderate-to-low TB prevalence while continuing to refine its integrated prevention and control system.

    Global responsibility and humanitarian action

    China’s expertise is also being shared through its commitment to international medical aid. Recently, the 23rd Chinese medical team in Zimbabwe successfully treated a 22-year-old patient suffering from TB with pleural effusion. By combining standard protocols with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to alleviate side effects and boost immunity, the team provided a practical model for TB control in resource-limited settings.

    This assistance is part of a long-standing commitment to international humanitarian aid. In 2025, the Chinese government dispatched 1,061 medical personnel to 57 countries, serving over 2.06 million patients, according to China’s National Health Commission.

    Since 1963, China has sent a total of 31,000 medical team members to 77 countries and regions, treating an estimated 300 million people. These teams have also helped strengthen local medical capacity, including performing first-of-their-kind laparoscopic procedures in countries such as Equatorial Guinea and Djibouti, enabling access to modern minimally invasive surgical techniques.

    Extending their reach beyond hospital walls, Chinese medical teams frequently travel to remote, resource-scarce regions to provide essential care. In Simandou, the team provided health check-ups, hygiene training and medical lectures to thousands of Chinese and Guinean employees. They also visited a local orphanage, performing physical exams for over 70 children and donating essential school supplies.

    “We go deep into remote areas, bringing much-needed health knowledge and infectious disease prevention methods to help establish a long-term barrier against illness,” Wang Bin, captain of the 31st Chinese medical team to Guinea, told CMG.

    By integrating innovative technology with grassroots volunteerism and international aid, China continues to work alongside the global community to transform the goal of a TB-free world into a tangible reality.

  • Chuangxin Industries Posts a 33% Profit Jump as “Cost Leadership”

    HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 20 March 2026 – Chuangxin Industries Holdings Limited (Chuangxin Industries, 02788.HK), a dominant leader in China’s fully integrated aluminum value chain, announced a stellar financial performance for the fiscal year 2025 this week. Despite a complex global macroeconomic environment, the company reported revenue of RMB 18.68 billion, representing a robust 23.2% year-on-year increase. Profit attributable to owners of the company surged by an impressive 32.8% to RMB 2.731 billion. Basic earnings per share rose to RMB 1.75 from RMB 1.37 in 2024. In a move that underscores its strong balance sheet and commitment to shareholder returns, the Board has proposed a final dividend of HK$ 0.77 per share.

    The global aluminum landscape in 2025 was defined by extreme volatility in London Metal Exchange (LME) prices and escalating energy costs across traditional smelting hubs. Chuangxin Industries showcased notable resilience, underpinned by its fully integrated electrolytic aluminum industrial chain. The company’s revenue was anchored by its core electrolytic aluminum business, which contributed RMB13.62 billion (72.92% of total), while alumina and related products added RMB4.42 billion.

    Central to Chuangxin Industries’ outperformance is its 100% self-sufficiency in alumina and power, the twin pillars of its strategic “cost moat.” This vertically integrated footprint is anchored by a 788.1 kt/a electrolytic aluminum smelter and a dedicated captive power plant in Huolinguole, Inner Mongolia, complemented by a 1.2 million t/a alumina refinery in Binzhou, Shandong, which is strategically positioned near import ports. This tightly coordinated infrastructure allows the Group to exert precision control over core input costs. Consequently, the Group ranks as a top-tier cost leader in China, possessing a structural advantage that serves as both a defensive shield during commodity downcycles and a powerful lever for earnings elasticity during market recoveries.

    The Chuangxin Industries’ March 9 entry into the Hong Kong Stock Connect opens the door to mainland investors. Expected Southbound liquidity should enhance market depth and catalyze a valuation recovery. Analysts view its structural cost moat and green manufacturing leadership as a compelling, cash-flow-resilient proposition for long-term investors navigating today’s high-interest-rate environment.

    Looking ahead, Chuangxin Industries is focusing on green growth and global expansion.

    Domestically, Chuangxin Industries is rapidly building 1,750 MW of wind and solar capacity in Inner Mongolia, aiming to source over 50% of its power from renewable sources by the end of 2026, reducing both carbon emissions and long-term energy costs.

    Internationally, Chuangxin Industries’ planned 500 kt/a aluminum smelting facility in Saudi Arabia will leverage Saudi Arabia’s competitive energy costs and port logistics to serve regional demand and diversify its production base beyond China. By establishing a footprint abroad, Chuangxin Industries is hedging against geopolitical barriers while enhancing its global edge through competitive energy costs in the Middle East.

    Chuangxin Industries is cementing its status as a world-class green aluminum leader. Its synergy of integrated efficiency and global expansion offers investors a resilient, sustainable play at the heart of the sector’s high-growth future.
