    Hainan FTP marks 6-month milestone of special customs operations, signs deals during Hong Kong visit

    HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 29 June 2026 – As the Hainan Free Trade Port (FTP) marked the six-month milestone since the launch of its full special customs operations, a Hainan provincial delegation wrapped up a three-day visit to Hong Kong.

    According to data released by Hainan Province during the visit, Hainan’s foreign trade has surged since the launch of special customs operations. As of June 17, the province’s total goods imports and exports reached RMB 173.98 billion (approximately US$24 billion), up 54.6% year on year. Imports of zero-tariff goods hit RMB 2.645 billion, a 120% jump that generated tariff savings of RMB 440 million. A total of 172,100 new market entities were registered—a 61% increase—including 1,240 foreign-invested enterprises. Zero-tariff items now account for 74% of all tariff lines, benefiting more than 12,000 market entities.

    During the Hong Kong visit, China Council for the Promotion of International Trade Hainan Provincial Committee (CCPIT Hainan) signed separate deepened cooperation MOUs with the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce, Hong Kong and the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce. Under the MOUs, the parties will establish a regular liaison mechanism for the periodic exchange of economic and trade information, and will promote collaboration in areas including professional services, green finance, the digital economy, supply chain management, and cultural tourism. Mutual enterprise service desks will be set up to provide consulting services regarding policies and projects. The parties will leverage their complementary strengths to help Chinese mainland enterprises access overseas markets via Hong Kong, while facilitating Hong Kong companies’ entry into the Chinese mainland through Hainan.

    The delegation also held talks with the British Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong and the American Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong, exploring ways for British and American businesses to leverage Hainan’s value-added processing tariff exemptions and multifunctional free trade accounts to position themselves in regional supply chains and cross-border investment and financing. HSBC, De Beers, and other British firms are already active in Hainan, and the UK served as the Guest of Honor country at the 2025 China International Consumer Products Expo.

    According to industry analysts, amid the shifting international trade landscape, Hainan is leveraging Hong Kong’s “super-connector” role to accelerate its integration with global capital and business networks, while simultaneously offering the Hong Kong business community a policy testing ground for entering the Chinese mainland market.

    Binzhou’s Leap from Manufacturing to Intelligent Manufacturing

    BINZHOU, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 29 June 2026 – Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Ministry of Finance jointly released the list of China’s third batch of pilot cities for the new technological transformation of the manufacturing sector. Binzhou City in Shandong Province has successfully been selected and is eligible for up to 300 million yuan in national fiscal incentives.

    Along the banks of the Yellow River, Binzhou in Shandong Province is witnessing a surge in industrial development. In the smart workshops of Weiqiao Pioneering Group, robotic arms move with precision and agility; at the command center of Chambroad Holdings, data from pipelines spanning thousands of miles updates in real time; at the port terminals, high-end aluminum products and fine chemical goods are continuously loaded onto vessels, setting sail for global markets.

    This industrial hub boasts 37 out of the country’s 41 industrial categories, forming six trillion-yuan-level industrial clusters, including high-end aluminum, fine chemicals, and smart textiles. A total of 82 products rank among the top in China or hold leading global market shares. Binzhou has been listed among China’s Top 100 Advanced Manufacturing Cities for four consecutive years.

    In 2025, the industrial enterprises above designated size in Binzhou achieved operating revenue exceeding RMB 1.06 trillion, crossing the trillion threshold for the second consecutive year. Total profits reached RMB 77.73 billion, with a profit margin of 7.3%, both ranking first in Shandong Province. Value-added industrial output above designated size accounted for 38.9% of the city’s GDP growth, cementing industry as a key pillar of economic development.

    Binzhou’s transformation has been driven by extending technological upgrading from individual enterprises to entire industrial chains. From 2023 to 2025, three clusters, i.e., lightweight aluminum new materials, intelligent textiles, and functional nutritional products, were successively selected as provincial-level advanced manufacturing clusters. The proportion of R&D investment in GDP has remained the highest in Shandong for five consecutive years. Six national-level excellent smart factories, 32 provincial-level advanced smart factories, and 66 green factories above the provincial level have taken root here, turning intelligent manufacturing and green transformation from blueprints into reality.

    From an industrial city to an intelligent manufacturing powerhouse, Binzhou is steadily advancing on the path of new industrialization with practical actions, writing a new chapter of high-quality development.

    Shared Revitalization Journey of Weiqiao Pioneering Group, Weiqiao Town

    BINZHOU, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 29 June 2026 – Recently, Zouping, Shandong held a symposium on “Revitalizing Weiqiao Town,” focusing on key priorities such as improving urban quality, upgrading public livelihoods, and empowering industrial development, laying out a clear blueprint for the high-quality development of Weiqiao Town.

    “Weiqiao Town is the birthplace of Weiqiao Pioneering Group. Giving back to and building up our hometown remains our unwavering original aspiration,” said Zhang Bo, Chairman of Weiqiao Pioneering Group, at a symposium on the “Revitalization of Weiqiao Town” on June 17.

    Since the launch of the “Revitalization of Weiqiao Town” initiative in February 2025, Zouping City and Weiqiao Pioneering Group have worked hand in hand to drive the town’s development. From January to May 2026, the town’s gross industrial output value of industrial enterprises above the designated size grew by 6.97% year-on-year, while fixed-asset investment surged by 168.23%; total tax revenue and local-level fiscal revenue increased by 76.32% and 58.69%.

    Leveraging the industrial chain resources and investment network of Weiqiao Pioneering Group, Weiqiao Town has attracted 28 industrial projects, of which 12 are now operational.

    As the core engine of Zouping City’s industrial economy, Weiqiao Pioneering Group adheres to the government-enterprise collaboration concept of “joint planning, shared industrial growth, and shared responsibility for public well-being.” The Group has proactively opened up its upstream and downstream industrial chain, with 13 of the introduced projects serving as supporting facilities within its ecosystem. It has also reserved 300,000 tons of electrolytic aluminum production capacity to provide key support for extending, supplementing, and strengthening Weiqiao Town’s aluminum industry chain.

    Thirty years ago, the enterprise led the town to share the benefits of industrialization; thirty years later, its aspiration to repay the hometown remains unchanged. Through its Shiping Public Welfare Foundation, the Group has donated a total of RMB 186 million over the past two years to improve education, medical care, transportation, and other infrastructure, enhancing the people’s sense of gain and happiness.

    Together, Weiqiao Pioneering Group and Weiqiao Town are forging a revitalization path characterized by industrial prosperity, improved livelihoods, and rural beauty. Their partnership stands as a vivid example of the deep bond between an enterprise and its hometown, and of how mutual support can drive shared prosperity.

  • Kai Tak Sports Park Claims Top Honour

    Quality Building Award 2026 Winners Announced with Strong GBA and International Participation

    HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 29 June 2026 – The winners of the Quality Building Award 2026 (QBA 2026) were announced and presented at a ceremony held last Friday (26 June) at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. The event brought together industry leaders, representatives of professional institutions, and project teams to celebrate the outstanding achievements of building projects from Hong Kong and beyond. Ms Bernadette Linn, JP, Secretary for Development, Development Bureau, HKSARG graced the occasion as the Guest of Honour. Kai Tak Sports Park received two awards, including the highest honor – the “Quality Excellence Award” – and the “Quality Building Award” in the Hong Kong Non-Residential (New Building – Government, Institution or Community) category.

    Ms Chang Yuk Kam, Patricia, Chairlady of the Quality Building Award 2026 Organizing Committee, expressed gratitude to Ms Bernadette Linn, JP, Secretary for Development, Development Bureau, HKSARG and Mr Ho Chun Hung, JP, Director of Buildings,HKSARGwho served as Chairman of the Jury Panel, and also congratulated all the award winners. Ms Chang said: “Hong Kong is now proactively integrating into the national development strategy and fully participating in the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. The construction industry is embracing unprecedented opportunities. The Quality Building Award is also keeping pace with the times, actively breaking down geographical boundaries and vigorously promoting cooperation and project exchanges among the construction sectors in the Greater Bay Area and beyond. We hope that outstanding construction practices and cutting-edge technologies from different regions can be shared and complement each other, and that we can jointly build a vibrant and sustainable cross-regional architectural ecosystem, while seizing opportunities together and pursuing shared development.”

    For over two decades, the Quality Building Award has remained committed to its founding principles of recognizing excellence, driving innovation, and promoting inclusion, while witnessing the continuous evolution and growth of Hong Kong’s building industry and that of the wider region. Notably, this year’s Award significantly relaxed the entry requirements for the “Building Outside GBA (include International)” and “Building in GBA (Not include Hong Kong)” categories, with participating teams no longer required to include a Hong Kong-registered company. This move has successfully attracted a number of high-quality non-local projects, including outstanding entries from Egypt and Shanghai, fully demonstrating Hong Kong’s unique advantage of being of enjoying strong support of the Motherland and being closely connected to the world, and further consolidating its status as a regional building hub.

    The award-winning projects from past editions have covered a diverse spectrum of areas, including residential, non-residential, government and institutional buildings, renovation and revitalization projects, temporary structures, and cross-regional developments, showcasing the multifaceted value of architecture. This year’s winning projects not only combine aesthetic design with functional excellence, but also actively respond to the industry’s prevailing trends in green and low-carbon practices, as well as smart construction and management. They embody the core mission of driving urban development and enhancing the quality of living environments.

    Ms Bernadette Linn, JP, Secretary for Development, Development Bureau, HKSARG, said: “The Quality Building Award has long been regarded as the ‘Oscar of the construction industry’. Over the past two decades, it has recognised numerous outstanding projects demonstrating excellence in design, construction, teamwork and sustainable development. This year’s Award is closely aligned with the policy direction of enhancing green development momentum under the National 15th Five-Year Plan. It reflects Hong Kong’s firm commitment to advancing high-quality sustainable development, and supports the national dual carbon goals as well as the broader green and low-carbon development strategy.”

    The Quality Building Award 2026 featured eight award categories. Following months of rigorous evaluation by a 17-member judging panel comprising industry leaders, Kai Tak Sports Park stood out. With its “park-within-a-stadium” concept, it transformed the former airport site into an iconic landmark integrating sports, entertainment, community, and commercial functions. The design seamlessly blends aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability, which particularly embodies this year’s theme: “Smartly We Build | Sustainably We Thrive | Inclusively We Lead.” It was therefore honored with the highest award of the ceremony, the “Quality Excellence Award,” as well as the “Grand Award” in the category of “Hong Kong Non-Residential (New Building – Government, Institution or Community).”

    This year, the Organizing Committee also presented two special awards: the “Innovative Project Award” and the “Sustainable Development Award”, which were awarded to Hong Kong-Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Park – Batch 1A Development: Building 11and Kai Tak District Cooling Plant No. 3 respectively. Among them, Hong Kong-Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Park – Batch 1A Development: Building 11 also received the “Grand Award” in the Hong Kong Residential (Single Building) category, while Kai Tak District Cooling Plant No. 3 also received the “Merit Award” in the Hong Kong Non-Residential (New Building – Government, Institution or Community) category.

    Projects in the Hong Kong Residential (Multiple Buildings) category also performed exceptionally well, with NOVO LAND receiving the “Grand Award”. In the Hong Kong Building (Renovation / Revitalization) category, both Lo Pan Spirit Inheritance: Conservation of Lo Pan Temple and the Expansion of the Legislative Council Complex received the “Grand Award”. Meanwhile, W.I.S.E. Complex received the “Grand Award” in the Temporary Building category.

    To bring together professional expertise from the Greater Bay Area and beyond, this year’s Award has specially revised the entry requirements for the categories of “Building Outside GBA (include International)” and “Building in GBA (Not include Hong Kong)”, breaking geographical boundaries and broadening the international exchange landscape of Hong Kong’s construction industry. The “Grand Award” in the “Building Outside GBA (include International)” category was presented to Arbour and The Iconic Tower, New Capital CBD, Egypt; while the “Grand Award” in the “Building in GBA (Not include Hong Kong)” category was presented to China Overseas Headquarters and Marisfrolg Industrial Park.

    Mr Ho Chun Hung, JP, Director of Buildings, HKSARG who served as Chairman of the Jury Panel, said: “The pursuit of quality buildings, together with the creation of a sustainable and inclusive built environment, has long been a shared mission of the construction industry. Through recognising outstanding projects and exceptional professional teams, we aim to drive the industry forward, promoting the adoption of smart technologies, green and sustainable practices, and inclusive, people-oriented collaboration. Together, we can build a safer, higher-quality, and more liveable environment for all.”

    The Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE) will serve as the Chairing Organization of the next Quality Building Award. The Award will continue to serve as an outstanding platform for industry exchange, recognizing outstanding projects and actively driving innovation and transformation within the construction sector. By working hand in hand with stakeholders across all sectors, Quality Building Award aims to build a higher-quality and more sustainable urban environment together.

  • Prudential and South East CDC launch programme to help 3,000 children learn money management skills and build climate and health resilience

    Prudential and South East CDC launch programme to help 3,000 children learn money management skills and build climate and health resilience

    SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 29 June 2026 – With rising temperatures and dengue risks becoming a growing concern in Singapore, Prudential Singapore (“Prudential”), in partnership with South East Community Development Council (“South East CDC”), has launched Get Fit! Get Lit! (GFGL). It is an experiential programme that helps children aged 7–12 in the South East District build life skills in money management and stay healthy and resilient in a changing climate.

    On 27 June 2026, Mr Dinesh Vasu Dash, Mayor of South East District, Minister of State, Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth and Ministry of Manpower, and Adviser to East Coast GRC Grassroots Organisations (Bedok), Ms Chan San San, CEO of Prudential Singapore, and Prudential financial representatives, joined 145 children and family members at the launch of Prudential's Get Fit! Get Lit! programme at Siglap Community Club. The programme, delivered in partnership with South East Community Development Council, combines financial literacy, physical activity, and climate and health education for children aged 7-12.
    On 27 June 2026, Mr Dinesh Vasu Dash, Mayor of South East District, Minister of State, Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth and Ministry of Manpower, and Adviser to East Coast GRC Grassroots Organisations (Bedok), Ms Chan San San, CEO of Prudential Singapore, and Prudential financial representatives, joined 145 children and family members at the launch of Prudential’s Get Fit! Get Lit! programme at Siglap Community Club. The programme, delivered in partnership with South East Community Development Council, combines financial literacy, physical activity, and climate and health education for children aged 7-12.

    The launch event, held at Siglap Community Club, was officiated by Mr Dinesh Vasu Dash, Mayor of South East District, Minister of State, Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth & Ministry of Manpower, and Adviser to East Coast GRC Grassroots Organisations (Bedok) and Ms Chan San San, Chief Executive Officer of Prudential Singapore. They were joined by 145 children and family members, and 20 Prudential financial representatives. To mark the occasion, Prudential and South East CDC signed a Partnership Agreement to bring GFGL to 3,000 children by end-2027, through South East CDC’s network of schools and community partners, as well as children from Prudential’s broader outreach efforts, including youth groups such as the Singapore Girl Guides (Brownies).

    GFGL started as a financial literacy and sports initiative, and now incorporates climate and health education to help children aged 7–12 develop future-readiness. Delivered through classroom learning and interactive activities, the programme introduces children to the financial concepts of Earn, Save, Spend and Donate. It also helps them to understand how a changing climate can affect their daily lives and what simple actions they can take to stay well and adaptable. Volunteers of GFGL are Prudential employees and financial representatives.

    Ms Chan San San, CEO of Prudential Singapore, said: “We would like to help children gain important life skills: understanding simple money concepts to manage their pocket money, how to take care of their health, and managing the impacts of climate change. The early habits we build when we’re young stay with us and shape the decisions we make later in life. Through our partnership with the South East Community Development Council and the support of our volunteers, including our financial representatives and employees, Get Fit! Get Lit! brings these lessons directly to children from primary schools and community groups in a way that is fun, practical and relevant to their daily lives. Ultimately, our goal is to support 3,000 children with skills that help them to grow and contribute to a healthier, more resilient community.”

    Mr Dinesh Vasu Dash, Mayor of South East District, Minister of State, Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth & Ministry of Manpower, and Adviser to East Coast GRC Grassroots Organisations (Bedok) said: “At South East CDC, we believe in nurturing young individuals to realise their full potential. The Get Fit! Get Lit! programme shows how community partnerships can deliver meaningful, hands-on learning — building healthy habits, financial awareness, and environmental responsibility in our children. By bringing this to schools and community groups across the South East District, we hope to give as many children as possible a strong foundation for the future.”

    South East CDC will work with Prudential to bring GFGL to schools and community partners across the district. Leveraging South East CDC’s extensive network, the programme will reach children from up to 15 schools, including CHIJ (Katong) Primary, St. Gabriel’s Primary School, and Geylang Methodist School (Primary), as well as community partners, TRANS Family Service Centre and Thye Hua Kwan Family Service Centre. South East CDC will play an active role in onboarding and coordinating with participating schools and community partners, ensuring that children across the district have access to the programme. The programme rollout will be supported by volunteers comprising Prudential employees and financial representatives.

    Getting fit, getting lit: Inside the GFGL programme
    Children today face a growing range of challenges – from navigating financial decisions to understanding climate and health risks that are becoming more visible around them. In Singapore, for instance, vector-borne diseases such as dengue remain a recurring concern, particularly during warmer periods, highlighting how environmental factors can directly affect health and daily life.

    GFGL helps them build practical life skills early – across financial literacy, as well as climate and health resilience. By bringing these elements together, the programme builds confidence and resilience, equipping children with the knowledge and habits to manage risks and adapt to a changing environment. This reach is made possible by South East CDC’s deep roots in the South East District, with its network of community clubs, schools, and community partners serving as the backbone for delivering GFGL to children and families across the district.

    Building on the success of Prudential’s financial literacy efforts Cha-Ching
    Developed by Prudential plc’s regional community investment arm, Prudence Foundation, Cha-Ching is a global financial education programme for children aged 7-12 years old. It teaches them the importance of being financially responsible from a young age by driving four fundamental money management concepts: Earn, Save, Spend and Donate. More than 20,000 children have participated in the programme since 2018.
