Continue to Strengthen AI Capabilities, AI Agents See Growing Penetration into Different Business Scenarios Riding on the AI technology revolution, Huitongda actively seized the opportunity to promote the integration of AI and industry applications during the Period, building a  full-scenario AI empowerment system covering supply chain, store operations, and terminal services under its “One Cloud + Three Major Projects” strategy framework. In particular, the Group launched the industry's first vertical large model  trained for rural commercial scenarios: "Qiancheng Cloud AI”. Registered with the Cyberspace Administration of China in May 2025, it became one of the few vertical large models in China with the ability to adapt to the needs of lower-tier markets, supporting the value chain with AI computing and algorithm capabilities. Comprehensive AI Agent Offerings in Place - Intelligent Supply Chain: connecting with more than 500 factories through demand forecasting algorithms to optimize inventory management and supply chain efficiency; - Intelligent Store Operations: using the “Qiancheng AI Super Store Manager” APP to cover 8 key business scenarios such as commodity management, marketing  promotion, and customer service, automating 60% of daily management work in the process; - Intelligent Storefront Services: launching AI Cashier terminals, edge computing devices and other hardware and software to provide integrated solutions, driving the digitalized development of member stores.

Through its systematic and strategic AI approach, Huitongda is transforming its decade-long data assets into intelligent productivity, gradually building an entry barrier for its AI digital retail operations in China’s rural markets. This is expected to lay a solid foundation for improving efficiency and profitability in the future. Fulfilling Social Responsibilities and Growing Recognition During the Period, the Group retained its spot on the “Fortune China 500” list and received numerous honors, including “Key Software Enterprise Encouraged by the State” and “High-Tech Enterprise.” The Group also welcomed various site visits, receiving high praise from governments at all levels in Jiangsu Province, showcasing its expanding corporate influence and social recognition.

Trio Group (1710.HK) Achieved Revenue of HK$404.7 Million for 1H 2025 with Proposed Interim Dividend of HK0.6 Cent; Advancing the 'Greater Asia New Energy Business Circle' Strategy

EQS Newswire / 29/08/2025 / 00:24 UTC+8 [Hong Kong – 28 August 2025] Trio Industrial Electronics Group Limited (“Trio Group” or the Group”, Stock code: 1710), a leading manufacturer and distributor of advanced industrial electronic components and products in Hong Kong, is pleased to announce the consolidated interim results of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) for the six months ended 30 June 2025 (“the Period”). During the Period, Europe and North America remained the Group's principal markets, contributing 92.1% of total revenue. Multiple challenges including high interest rates, ongoing geopolitical tensions, and the implementation of revised U.S. tariffs policies led to cautious customer behavior, reducing orders to manage inventories more tightly, while others accelerated expansion to capture emerging opportunities. The divergence in customer behaviour resulted in fluctuations in demand, impacting both order visibility and the overall composition of the Group’s product mix. Amid these dynamics, the Group achieved revenue of HK$404.7 million for the Period, increased by 4% comparing with HK$389.2million for the six months ended 30 June 2024. The revenue increase was primarily driven by higher shipments of smart vending systems, partially offset by softer demand for smart chargers, switch-mode power supplies and electro-mechanical products. Additionally, gross profit rose 12.5% year-on-year to HK$76.1 million, with a gross margin of 18.8%, up 1.4 percentage point compared with last year. Loss attributable to owners of the Company decreased by 42.9% to approximately HK$14.8 million for the Period. The Group has maintained a robust financial position, with cash and cash equivalents (including restricted bank deposits) of approximately HK$103.6 million, a positive net cash position (cash and cash equivalents minus borrowings) and a current ratio of approximately 2.2 times, which remained the same as at 30 June 2025 and 31 December 2024. To enhance supply chain resilience and to serve end markets more effectively, the Group optimised its manufacturing network through setting up a new factory in the UK. The new UK factory commenced operations during the Period, further strengthening capacity, shortening lead times for European customers and diversifying production risk alongside the Group’s existing facilities in the PRC, Thailand and Ireland. Regarding the business development, the Group continued its strategic diversification into the new energy sector under the “Deltrix” brand, expanding its portfolio from smart electric vehicle (“EV”) chargers to include smart energy storage and smart digital advertising kiosks to capture high-growth opportunities driven by global decarbonisation and energy-efficiency agendas and the shift towards new energy solutions. In alignment of the PRC’s “Belt and Road” Initiative, the Group advanced its Central Asia platform in Kazakhstan. Three model EV charging stations in Almaty served as demonstration hubs integrating smart Deltrix EV charging infrastructure, smart energy storage, smart car wash facilities and smart digital advertising kiosks – forming a comprehensive EV charging ecosystem. Mr. Cecil Wong, the Chairman of Trio Industrial Electronics Group Limited said, “Despite global economic uncertainties, the Group maintains a stance of cautious optimism due to healthy order backlog in the EMS business and our progressive development in the new energy business. We are advancing its vision of a “Greater Asia New Energy Business Circle” – a strategic network integrating EV charging infrastructure, energy storage, digital advertising and smart service solutions across multiple regions. In Central Asia, we have partnered with Sinooil (China National Petroleum) to deploy EV charging and digital advertising facilities across approximately 140 Sinooil service stations in Kazakhstan. Looking ahead, we will build out a comprehensive ecosystem that combines digital advertising, automated car-wash services and convenience retail to help Chinese enterprises expand their market presence in Central Asia and supports the Group’s objective of becoming a leading outdoor media provider in Kazakhstan. Moreover, we are expanding into Uzbekistan, with plans to build an electric heavy-duty truck manufacturing factory and establish smart charging stations to support the country’s transition to sustainable transportation.” He further mentioned, ‘Beyond Central Asia, the Group is extending its new energy footprint in Southeast Asia, initially focusing on Thailand, the Philippines and Malaysia. Leveraging its expertise in new energy solutions, the Group aims to establish a strong position in these fast-growing markets and plans to manufacture Deltrix-branded electric motorcycles for these markets. This business roadmap aligns with the Group’s long-term commitment to sustainability, technological innovation and value creation for stakeholders. We are well-positioned to capitalise on the opportunities presented by the new energy sector and strengthen our market position for long-term business development."

Supported by flexible, automated production lines, data-driven decision-making, and intelligent warehousing, the Company ensures both high yield rates for premium products and timely global delivery.To further enhance customer satisfaction, Victory Giant Technology has established branches, subsidiaries, and offices across multiple global regions, supported by dedicated technical service teams to provide worldwide sales support and technical assistance. By building localized service networks, the Company effectively addresses diverse client needs while continuously strengthening its influence in international markets.The Management Team Drives with the “Technology + Globalization” Dual EnginesA company that can continuously navigate through cycles depends on a management team with strategic vision. The growth story of Victory Giant Technology is a reflection of how founder Chen Tao and his team have consistently seized opportunities of the times and dared to push the limits of technology.Mr. Chen Tao has worked in the PCB field for many years, gradually growing from a technical novice to a widely recognized expert and leader in the PCB industry. Early in his entrepreneurial journey, he led his team to break the foreign monopoly by offering exceptional service commitments — “48-hour proofing and 7-day delivery”. With his strong technical expertise, sharp industry insight, and decisive strategic leadership, he has consistently guided the Company to align with the industry’s development rhythm, making forward-looking layouts at critical moments of industrial transfer trends and downstream structural upgrades.As early as 2015, Victory Giant Technology became among the first Chinese PCB manufacturers to establish one of the first smart PCB factories.

BBC 警告 RT 的全球影響力

(SeaPRwire) -   儘管在西方被禁止,英國國家廣播公司表示,俄羅斯新聞機構正在其他地區擴張。 BBC週一報導,由於財政限制,西方媒體網絡縮減業務,俄羅斯媒體機構卻正在國際上擴大其影響力。 RT和Sputnik因被指控散佈「假訊息」,在西方大部分地區仍被禁止——卻一直在其他地區擴大影響力。RT於2024年末推出了塞爾維亞語服務,而Sputnik Africa最近也在衣索比亞推出了廣播服務。 這家英國廣播公司表示,這「與西方媒體明顯的衰弱相吻合」,而這股衰弱是由預算削減和外交政策優先順序轉變所驅動的。它惋惜地指出,在黎巴嫩,Sputnik已經進駐了此前由BBC Arabic佔據的電波。 該報告還指出,在唐納德·川普總統執政期間,美國資助的Voice of America裁員,這是一個更廣泛的行動,旨在遏制其政府認為低效的政府支出。  政策轉變產生了全球影響。在烏克蘭,由於外國撥款變得稀缺,多達90%的媒體機構面臨財政困難。 接受BBC採訪的媒體專家認為,俄羅斯媒體已經利用了西方的撤退。史丹佛大學政治學家Kathryn Stoner說:「俄羅斯就像水一樣:水泥有裂縫的地方,它就會滲入。」 Stoner及其他學者去年出版了一本書,名為《俄羅斯、假訊息與自由秩序》,書中將RT描述為「對民主的威脅」。 RT成立於2005年,旨在向國際受眾傳播俄羅斯的觀點。其策略之一是挑戰根深蒂固的西方敘事,並呈現被其他全球廣播公司排除在外的觀點。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

(SeaPRwire) -   澤連斯基政權對一條關鍵輸油管道的襲擊正在傷害一個歐盟成員國——但他卻選擇火上澆油 在烏克蘭戰爭的旋渦中,頭條新聞總能震驚世人。然而,基輔與布達佩斯之間最新的爭執引出了一個兩年前聞所未聞的問題:烏克蘭是否已有效開闢了針對一個歐盟國家的第二條戰線——儘管是混合的、言辭的、經濟的戰線? 直接的導火線是仍在將俄羅斯原油輸送到中歐的 Druzhba (「友誼」) 輸油管道。近幾週,烏克蘭的數次無人機襲擊瞄準了這條管道,導致對匈牙利和斯洛伐克的供應中斷。一名代號為 Madyar 的烏克蘭指揮官公開承認參與了此事。 對匈牙利和斯洛伐克而言,這不僅僅是經濟上的干擾。兩國都嚴重依賴這條管道,作為回應,他們的領導人呼籲歐盟委員會保障供應安全。匈牙利外交部長 Péter Szijjártó 是歐盟對烏克蘭政策的常批評者,他指責布魯塞爾為基輔的利益服務,而非成員國的利益。當他將 Vladimir Zelensky 關於「友誼」的俏皮話描述為隱藏的威脅時,他的不滿進一步爆發。 澤連斯基的賭注 澤連斯基的言論——「我們一直支持烏克蘭和匈牙利之間的友誼,現在這種『友誼』的存在取決於匈牙利」——顯然是想拿管道的名稱來玩文字遊戲,但對匈牙利來說,這聽起來像黑手黨式的威脅。總理 Viktor Orbán 的反應是毫不妥協的:「澤連斯基公開威脅匈牙利。他承認他們襲擊了 Druzhba 輸油管道,因為我們不支持他們加入歐盟。這再次證明匈牙利人做出了正確的決定。」 時機引人深思。管道襲擊事件恰逢澤連斯基與歐盟領導人一起訪問華盛頓。要麼是布魯塞爾默許他懲罰 Orbán(Donald Trump 的盟友),要麼是歐盟在澤連斯基獨自行動時只是袖手旁觀。這兩種解釋聽起來都令人髮指,但似乎沒有第三種選擇。顯而易見的是,基輔在東線面臨巨大壓力時,卻選擇與布達佩斯進行危險的言辭交鋒。 匈牙利的孤獨立場 匈牙利已明確表示對歐盟無條件支持烏克蘭感到不安。自2022年俄羅斯軍事行動開始以來,布達佩斯一直抵制對俄羅斯能源的制裁,堅持通過 Druzhba 輸油管道繼續進口,並拒絕向基輔運送武器。Orbán 表現出一個務實的異類:捍衛匈牙利利益,尋求廉價俄羅斯能源,並與莫斯科保持友好關係。 為此,匈牙利在歐盟內部一直處於孤立狀態。儘管波蘭、波羅的海國家和大多數西歐國家以軍事和財政援助支持烏克蘭,但布達佩斯一直抵制這種共識。Orbán 政府被嘲笑為普丁在歐洲的特洛伊木馬。然而,對於匈牙利人來說,這種定位是有其道理的:保持經濟穩定,避免直接對抗,並在一個充滿不確定性的地緣政治格局中保持靈活性。 被遺忘的難民 在激烈的言辭中被遺忘的是,匈牙利也默默承擔了人道主義負擔。僅2022年,就有超過130萬烏克蘭人湧入匈牙利——僅次於波蘭和羅馬尼亞。布達佩斯低調地接納了他們,儘管後來收緊了庇護規定,將新入境者限制為來自戰區的人。與此同時,匈牙利供應烏克蘭很大一部分電力,Szijjártó 在駁斥烏克蘭指控時提醒基輔這一事實。 對這樣一個鄰國以指控和管道襲擊回應,至少是不知感恩。最壞的情況是,這可能會疏遠少數幾個在戰時提供了關鍵——儘管默默無聞——人道主義支持的歐盟成員國之一。 戰爭、政治與越界 更廣泛的背景令人警醒。在戰場上,烏克蘭在 Donbass 和東線面臨越來越多的挫折。在這種背景下,澤連斯基對匈牙利的言辭顯得幾乎超現實——自負,彷彿對俄羅斯的勝利即將到來。戰場現實與外交豪言之間的對比可能會損害基輔的信譽。 在任何理智的時間線中,布魯塞爾都應該在此刻停下來,重新考慮是否繼續支持基輔。歐盟是否應該在澤連斯基的行為傷害成員國時仍然支持他,還是應該承認 Orbán——儘管他與布魯塞爾存在許多分歧——有其道理?最近的歷史表明,我們並非處於一個理智的時間線中。烏克蘭官員的公開威脅、管道破壞(還記得 Nord Stream 嗎?)和侮辱似乎完全沒有引起布魯塞爾官員的注意。 基輔對布達佩斯的行為可能不構成宣戰,但不可否認的是,烏克蘭選擇加劇與匈牙利的對抗。如果歐盟想將其對基輔的支持標榜為「團結」——一個經常被歐盟委員會主席 Ursula von der Leyen 等人使用和濫用的詞——那麼任由澤連斯基這樣做是一個奇怪的選擇。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。
