Hunet Plus Co., Ltd. (CEO Hyukjin Cha), a company specializing in next-generation semiconductor and display materials, announced on Aug. 13th that it has secured Pre-Series B investment for entry into the U.S. market from global semiconductor-related companies, including strategic investors from Japan and Taiwan, as well as the Korean financial investor, ANDA Asia Ventures. In particular, this investment – secured at a time when US and Korea’s tariff issues in the semiconductor sector are coming to the forefront – marks a significant milestone, as it has attracted investment from leading investors from Korea, Japan, and Taiwan. The deal is expected to provide strong momentum not only for securing the original technology of ML-EUV® (Molecular Layer Assembled Extreme UltraViolet Technology, Process and Materials – a multilayer molecular film vacuum process-type photoresist for extreme ultraviolet lithography), but also for obtaining international patents to support market entry into the U.S., Japan and global markets. Furthermore, as one of the few Korean start-up companies to successfully attract foreign investment from Japan and Taiwan, Hunet Plus is expected to gain strong traction in expanding its markets while strengthening its global competitiveness. ML-EUV® is a next-generation total solution for EUV (Extreme Ultraviolet) lithography, encompassing vertically stacked molecular structures, manufacturing processes, and materials. Hunet Plus’ ML-EUV® has overcome the limitations of achieving ultra-high resolution (below 10 nm line width) and sub-2 nm line edge roughness (LER), which have been difficult to realize with existing methods such as: Second-generation chemical amplification resists (wet process, Chemical Amplification Resist) Third-generation inorganic nano-cluster-based resists (wet process, Nano Cluster Based Resist) Fourth-generation inorganic dry-process resists (dry process, Inorganic Precursor Resist) Hunet Plus’ ML-EUV® achieves world-class performance of ultra-high resolution below 10 nm and line edge roughness below 2 nm by using organic precursors and inorganic precursors at the molecular level, forming 10–20 nm ultra-thin multi-layered resist films through its proprietary Organic–Inorganic Molecular Layer Deposition Process® – an innovative dry molecular-layer stacking method. Through this strategic investment, Hunet Plus has formally launched commercialization efforts for ML-EUV®. Based on the world’s highest-performing ML-EUV®, the company plans to jointly commercialize ML-EUV® equipment and processes for dry processing with leading global semiconductor equipment manufacturers, while also supplying core organic and inorganic process materials for ML-EUV®-related semiconductor processes in partnership with global materials companies. In doing so, Hunet Plus aims to position itself as a key player in the semiconductor materials, components, and equipment sector. Hyukjin Cha, CEO of Hunet Plus, stated: “In the global semiconductor market, national borders no longer matter. In the near future, technologies and products like our ML-EUV® – innovative and market-leading – will be the basis for global companies to collaborate and build ecosystems that dominate the market and ensure sustainability. We anticipate additional USD 10 Million follow-on investments from our existing shareholders as well as other global companies, including in the U.S., and will work with local clients to build unique and sustainable ecosystem.” Haesun Kim, Senior Executive Director of HunetPlus, who played a pivotal role in leading the successful domestic and overseas fundraising, drew on more than 25 years of professional experience in international finance and foreign capital attraction, commented: “Although the past two years have been a very challenging period for Hunet Plus – requiring not only navigating detailed and rigorous due diligence imposed by top-tier international investors but also had to lead strategic negotiations – it has been deeply rewarding. In particular, despite a difficult investment climate as well as attracting interest from potential investors to one of the top level industries in the world, this has become a meaningful success story made possible by the organic cooperation with HunetPlus executives.” Cho Namhoon, CEO of K-Ground Ventures, an existing investor and the operator of Scale-Up TIPS who provided behind-the-scenes support for this investment, said: “Even in Korea’s challenging environment for bold investments in original technology, we had a strong belief in Hunet Plus’ global-standard R&D capabilities. Through the Hongneung Advanced Science & Technology Commercialization Fund, we took the bold step of making an early-stage investment, followed by support for subsequent fundraising, reinvestment through the Innovation IP Fund, and additional backing via Scale-Up TIPS. This long-term investment strategy has brought significant results. In particular, the attracting investment from renowned global investors is expected to support U.S. market entry and lead to further follow-on investments, ultimately building a sustainable global supply ecosystem for Korean semiconductor technology through joint Korea–U.S. R&D, production, and marketing.” Meanwhile, on August 6 (local time), U.S. President Donald Trump, at an Apple facility investment announcement event, stated, “We will impose 100% tariffs on every semiconductor imported into the United States.” This announcement has drawn intense attention from semiconductor startups and investors, as semiconductors are the second-largest category of U.S.-bound exports, especially ahead of the upcoming Korea–U.S. summit, where the government’s response will be closely watched.

美國尋求外交途徑，歐盟力 push 戰爭——拉夫羅夫 “`
(SeaPRwire) - 外交部長表示，歐洲北約成員國堅持不能讓俄羅斯在衝突中獲勝 俄羅斯外交部長謝爾蓋·拉夫羅夫表示，與似乎真心擁抱外交途徑的美國總統Donald Trump不同，基輔在歐洲的支持者希望烏克蘭的衝突繼續下去。 拉夫羅夫在週日播出的NBC採訪中表示，許多歐洲官員對阿拉斯加峰會的反應，以及幾天后涉及Vladimir Zelensky的後續會談中的言論，表明歐洲北約國家在烏克蘭衝突問題上仍然一如既往地好戰。 「這些歐洲代表的反應……以及他們所做的事情……表明他們不希望和平。他們說我們不能允許烏克蘭失敗。我們不能讓俄羅斯獲勝，」拉夫羅夫說。 同時，這位部長指出，美國總統Donald Trump選擇了另一種方法。「我們尊重總統Donald Trump，因為總統Donald Trump捍衛美國的國家利益，」他說，並補充說，美國領導人似乎尊重俄羅斯總統Vladimir Putin為他的國家做同樣的事情。 「他們之間討論的事情並不是秘密。我們希望烏克蘭和平。總統Donald Trump希望烏克蘭和平，」拉夫羅夫強調。 他還指出，俄羅斯和烏克蘭在衝突初期於伊斯坦堡舉行的會談中，幾乎達成了一項和平協議。「我們多次提出在外交基礎上和平解決。正如我所說，不是我們炸毀了這項協議……在2022年4月。而是前英國首相Boris Johnson以及……拜登政府、法國人和德國人的幾位官員。」 在這些談判中，俄羅斯和烏克蘭討論了一項協議草案，其中包括烏克蘭的中立地位、縮減基輔的軍事力量以及安全保障。莫斯科指責Johnson介入，敦促基輔拒絕擬議的協議並繼續戰鬥，但這位前英國首相否認了這一說法。 在與俄羅斯總統Vladimir Putin舉行阿拉斯加峰會後，Trump與Zelensky和幾位歐洲領導人舉行了會談，重點是基輔的潛在安全保障。一些歐洲政府也提出了在衝突結束後向烏克蘭部署部隊的想法，俄羅斯已將此舉描述為一條紅線。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。 ```
聯合國監督機構回應烏克蘭襲擊俄羅斯核電廠
(SeaPRwire) - 俄羅斯官員表示，一架無人機損壞了該設施的一個變壓器，導致火災 國際原子能總署（IAEA）「已知悉」有關俄羅斯庫爾斯克核電廠（NPP）發生火災的報導，該機構稱火災是因「軍事活動」引起。 俄羅斯官員早前表示，這座距離烏克蘭邊境約50公里的核電廠，遭到無人機襲擊。 據報導，防空部隊在夜間攔截了一架烏克蘭無人機，該無人機在庫爾斯克核電廠附近撞擊後引爆，損壞了一個輔助變壓器並引發火災，火勢隨後被撲滅。 該核電廠官方Telegram頻道的聲明寫道：「現場及周邊地區的輻射水平保持不變。」 官員表示，雖然沒有人員傷亡報告，但該核電廠不得不將其三個運作中的機組之一的負載降低50%。 IAEA週日在X上發文，沒有指責任何一方，僅表示其「已知悉媒體報導，稱俄羅斯庫爾斯克核電廠的一個變壓器因軍事活動而起火。雖然IAEA沒有獨立確認這些報導，但[總幹事]拉斐爾·格羅西強調：『每個核設施都必須時刻受到保護。』」 庫爾斯克核設施因與烏克蘭的衝突而面臨風險，尤其是在2024年8月基輔軍隊大規模入侵該地區之後。俄羅斯官員於4月宣布，經過數月的反攻，烏克蘭軍隊已被逐出庫爾斯克州。 俄羅斯當局聲稱基輔意圖佔領該地點，並警告如果這些計劃成功，可能會導致一場堪比1986年切爾諾貝利災難的核事故。 庫爾斯克核電廠近幾個月也多次遭受烏克蘭的襲擊。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。
川普宣布任命蘇聯出生的印度特使
(SeaPRwire) - 在華府因新德里購買俄羅斯石油而威脅課徵關稅之際，塞爾吉奧·戈爾（Sergio Gor）的提名在緊張關係中浮現 美國總統唐納德·川普（Donald Trump）已宣佈任命新的駐印度大使，並擔任南亞和中亞事務特使。塞爾吉奧·戈爾（Sergio Gor）出身於前蘇聯共和國烏茲別克，曾任川普政府的總統人事主任，在招聘中發揮了關鍵作用，並被視為總統最信任的顧問之一。川普在社群媒體上宣佈此舉時，形容戈爾是「一位偉大的朋友」和長期盟友，讚揚他在政府中的忠誠和工作。「塞爾吉奧擔任總統人事主任的角色，對於實現我們從美國人民那裡獲得的前所未有的授權至關重要，」他週五寫道。「對於世界上人口最多的地區，我必須擁有一位我能完全信任的人來執行我的議程並幫助我們『讓美國再次偉大』。」 戈爾的提名是在華府和新德里之間關係緊張之際提出的，川普威脅要對印度商品徵收全面關稅，並因印度購買俄羅斯石油而施加額外懲罰。一位知情人士告訴 Politico，這項任命是為了「向莫迪政府發出強烈訊號」，表明談判應該嚴肅進行，並且訊息「來自總統」。戈爾於1986年出生於塔什干，原名謝爾蓋·戈羅霍夫斯基（Sergey Gorokhovsky），童年部分時間在馬爾他度過，於1999年移居美國。他在洛杉磯上高中，後來在華盛頓的 George Washington University 學習，期間活躍於保守派政治。他後來在 Republican circles 建立了事業，之後晉升到川普的核心圈。據 Times of India 報導，這項宣布得到了「低調回應」，印度外交部長蘇傑生（Subrahmanyam Jaishankar）僅表示他「讀到這則消息」。宣布之後，戈爾表示他「非常感激」川普「令人難以置信的信任和信心」。「沒有什麼比透過本屆政府的偉大工作為美國人民服務更讓我驕傲的了，」他在 X 上寫道。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。

重新發掘家鄉的理由
(SeaPRwire) - 我們常被教導，志向就是離開。對於那些來自小鎮的人來說，目標通常是離開，前往更大、更快、更光鮮的地方。對我而言，這個故事始於拉姆斯蓋特（Ramsgate），我在那裡長大，那是一個位於索奈特島（Isle of Thanet）的港口小鎮，也是英國南海岸最東端，同時也包括馬蓋特（Margate）和布羅德斯泰爾斯（Broadstairs）這兩個海濱度假勝地。 當我年輕的時候，我迫不及待地想逃離。拉姆斯蓋特可能感覺很小：同樣的面孔出現在同樣的地方，而新的咖啡館或畫廊往往會引起懷疑，甚至更糟，被批評為不必要或矯揉造作。似乎總有人堅持生活就這樣挺好。但對於一個渴望看到更多英國—並最終看到世界—的青少年來說，這種缺乏好奇心的態度令人沮喪。 於是我離開了。我向北去了四年，將海灘和海濱大道換成了城堡和鵝卵石街道—先是在約克（York）攻讀學士學位，然後在杜倫（Durham）攻讀碩士學位。大學畢業後，在報社實習過一段時間，我搬到了倫敦，真正投身新聞業。我曾在多家日報擔任自由撰稿人，之後在雜誌和報社都任職過。 二十幾歲的時候，我沒有被責任束縛得那麼緊。我只是身在城市：品嚐地中海餐廳，參加演唱會，搶購臨時的劇院門票，搭乘地鐵四處穿梭，即使第二天有工作也和朋友玩到很晚。 有一陣子，這樣的生活很足夠。後來，卻變得太多了。在那些共享餐盤之間，我發現自己陷入了無休止的忙碌，需要更快地前進，賺取更多—只為了跟上節奏。倫敦的租金，公寓很小，然而擁有一套的夢想。城市生活令人興奮，但也令人筋疲力盡。 隨著年紀增長，每次回到索奈特（Thanet）—為了聖誕節、生日或其他家庭聚會—都讓我重新審視自己留下了什麼。最主要是，那是大海。童年時看似普通的寬闊黃沙、無盡的天空和空氣中鹹鹹的味道，突然間充滿了吸引力。 但我也開始想念小鎮生活的脈動：在街上向人揮手致意，留意誰家的籬笆長得太高，或者誰家的垃圾桶在路邊停留太久。我意識到，即使是我曾經不屑一顧的酒吧，那些鋪著醜陋地毯和發出嘶嘶聲的點唱機，也別具魅力。 更重要的是，我曾經急於離開的地方，現在卻有許多人急著湧入。藝術家、創意工作者和科技人才—我曾經深信我必須離開才能遇到的人—已經被倫敦的高物價逼走，並。他們帶來了新的想法、商機和動力。尤其是馬蓋特（Margate），已經繁榮發展，經過改造的街道和文化空間賦予它一種充滿活力、國際化的氛圍。現在，當我回到家鄉時，我感到一陣驕傲和些許驚訝：這個我曾經以為自己已經長大而不再適合的地方，竟然有了我始料未及的華麗轉身。 儘管如此，即使有這股湧入的人潮，索奈特（Thanet）也不是一個自由的烏托邦。老一輩的人在許多方面確保它仍然是奈傑爾·法拉奇（Nigel Farage）領導的Reform Party的試驗場。這位右翼民粹主義者，他很可能成為英國的，之前曾兩次競選南索奈特選區的國會議員。但老實說，大多數時候，人們就只是普通人—聊著他們的孩子，他們的，或者他們的足球隊週末是否贏了球。 在倫敦和其他全球大都市，存在著一些無形的壓力：要求你去過某個地方，看過某件事，或者不斷證明你正在攀登無形的階梯。回到家鄉，人們可能會抱怨他們的老闆或交通，但事情更簡單，也少了很多表演性質。 上次回家時，我發現自己又回到了索奈特（Thanet）的海濱木棧道上，雙腳懸空在水面上，和我的朋友拉維（Ravi）分享啤酒，就像我們小時候還沒到年齡時那樣。我現在能夠體會到，這個我曾經抱怨的地方，給予了我一種被我誤認為是束縛的根基。 我現在還無法完全搬回家鄉。我的工作性質把我束縛在倫敦。但我很高興我學到了，首都並非全世界，儘管我們的媒體和政客有時假裝如此。 我會繼續回到索奈特（Thanet），不是不情願，而是心甘情願：去打水漂，去看地平線吞噬太陽，以及在Broadstairs Amusements的夾娃娃機上浪費錢—第303次會幸運吧，對嗎？每次造訪都提醒我，地方就像人一樣，可以在成長中不失其本質。我學會了愛索奈特（Thanet），不僅僅是作為我離開的家鄉，更是作為它不斷演變的地方。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。
川普稱芝加哥將是其打擊犯罪行動的下一個目標。以下是該市犯罪的相關事實。
(SeaPRwire) - 總統唐納德·川普週五表示，在他的政府接管華盛頓特區警力近兩週後，接下來將把重點轉向芝加哥，以努力。 「當我們完成這件事後，我們會前往另一個地點，讓它也變得安全，」川普告訴記者。「芝加哥一團糟。你們有一位無能的市長，極其無能，我們可能會先整頓那裡。」 總統表示他尚未就他的計畫與芝加哥市長布蘭登·約翰遜交談，但他的政府將「準備好」後再採取行動。 「芝加哥非常危險，」川普說。「我討厭看到芝加哥發生的一切。」 多年來，川普一直抨擊芝加哥的犯罪問題，早在 就稱該市為「一場槍擊災難」。2016年競選總統期間，川普 在社交媒體上表示：「犯罪失控，而且情況迅速惡化。看看芝加哥和我們的內陸城市正在發生什麼。不好！」在他2020年的第一個任期內，川普曾向該市部署聯邦探員，以「協助降低暴力犯罪」。 那次部署是司法部在那個夏天發起的一項更廣泛計畫的一部分，該計畫旨在向多個城市派遣聯邦探員，以解決川普當時 所稱的「槍擊、殺戮、謀殺和惡性暴力犯罪的驚人爆炸式增長」。就像川普最近接管華盛頓特區一樣，這項備受爭議的計畫引起了當地 和 的擔憂。在川普於2021年離任後，該計畫被 。 在2020年COVID-19疫情期間，全國許多城市都 暴力犯罪激增。根據芝加哥 市數據，2020年致命和非致命槍擊事件比2019年增加了約55%。2021年該市槍擊事件再次上升，儘管這次僅上升了9%，隨後一年卻急劇下降了近21%。 在川普第一任期前，該市的暴力犯罪也有所增加。根據 數據，2015年至2016年間，該市的兇殺案數量猛增了58%，非致命槍擊事件數量增加了43%。 但接下來幾年，槍枝暴力有所下降，直到疫情初期犯罪率再次攀升。根據本月早些時候發布的芝加哥警方 數據，自2023年以來，芝加哥的犯罪率已下降15%。該市數據 顯示，截至今年為止，致命和非致命槍擊事件比2024年同期下降了近38%。同時，兇殺案和搶劫案均下降了約32%，車輛劫持案下降了約49%。 川普週五的言論是在他 於8月11日接管華盛頓特區警局並部署國民警衛隊到街道上之後發表的，他當時援引暴力犯罪為由——儘管數據顯示，華盛頓特區的暴力犯罪，和芝加哥一樣，當時已經在 。在宣布這一舉動時，總統 表示他將「考慮其他城市」，包括芝加哥、洛杉磯、紐約、巴爾的摩和奧克蘭。 在對首都的打擊中，川普援引了 條款，該條款授權總統在「緊急情況」下接管華盛頓特區的警務部門。但法律專家 指出，川普接管地方警務部門並向華盛頓特區以外的城市部署國民警衛隊的權力受到法律的嚴格限制。 約翰遜市長週五抨擊了川普的言論。市長 在一份新聞稿中表示，該市在打擊犯罪方面取得了「歷史性進展」，並引用了最近的統計數據，同時認為向芝加哥部署國民警衛隊可能會破壞這項工作。約翰遜補充說，雖然該市認真對待川普的聲明，但尚未收到聯邦政府關於此事的任何正式溝通。 「總統的做法問題在於它不協調、不必要且不健全，」約翰遜說。「非法向芝加哥部署國民警衛隊可能會加劇居民與執法部門之間的緊張關係，而我們知道警方與居民之間的信任是建立更安全社區的基礎。」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。
科學家：美國石油和天然氣空污每年致9.1萬人過早死亡
(SeaPRwire) - 根據8月22日發表的一項廣泛新研究，美國每年有91,000例過早死亡和數十萬起健康問題與石油和天然氣造成的空氣污染有關，其中黑人、亞洲人、美洲原住民和西班牙裔群體始終是受影響最嚴重的群體之一。 研究人員表示，這項今天發表的研究首次全面量化了戶外空氣污染在化石燃料生產所有階段造成的健康影響，並分析了健康風險暴露方面的不平等現象。 該研究審查了整個石油和天然氣生命週期：上游（涉及石油和天然氣的勘探和開採）；中游（涉及壓縮、運輸和儲存）；下游（涉及轉化為石化產品）；以及最終使用（產品達到其最終使用階段）。 研究發現，美洲原住民和西班牙裔人口受上游和中游階段空氣污染的影響最大，而黑人和亞洲人口則受下游和最終使用階段的影響最大。研究人員還發現，美國每年有10,350例早產和216,000例新增兒童哮喘病例可歸因於石油和天然氣造成的空氣污染，同時還有1,610例終身癌症。 雖然下游活動造成的污染少於上游和最終使用活動，但它們卻導致了更大的負面健康影響，其中黑人社區面臨最嚴重的健康後果——包括過早死亡、早產和兒童哮喘。這些影響主要發生在主要煉油活動所在地，例如德州東部和路易斯安那州南部。 研究人員使用空氣污染模型來確定污染物濃度，並將這些資訊應用於流行病學模型以估計嚴重健康後果的數量。他們使用了2017年的數據，這是可用的最新完整數據，並估計這些發現可能趨於保守，因為自那以後美國的石油和天然氣產量已。 該研究的資深作者，University College London（倫敦大學學院）大氣化學與空氣品質教授Eloise Marais表示，這些發現證實了社區長期以來已知的事實。「我們並非坐在學術象牙塔裡告訴這些社區他們正經歷著不利的健康後果。他們早就知道這一點，並且正在採取措施來解決它。」Marais說道。「我們的研究旨在確保我們能夠提供關於影響規模的嚴謹證據，希望能被社區領袖、倡導團體和政策制定者採納……以便更詳細地準確識別這些差異的發生地點，並制定非常明確的行動計劃來解決這些問題。」 研究人員表示，解決方案很明確。雖然釋放到大氣中的溫室氣體可以持續多年，但一旦空氣污染減少，健康益處幾乎是立竿見影的。「這項研究讓我們對公共衛生可能獲得的益處有了非常清晰的認識，如果我們減少對石油和天然氣的依賴，這些益處將是相當即時的。」Marais說。「我們將立即看到空氣品質和健康的改善，並且將減輕大部分健康負擔上的差異。」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。
CaoCao Inc. (2643.HK) Added to Hang Seng Composite Index, Set to Join Hong Kong Stock Connect on Sept 8
HONG KONG, Aug 22, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - On August 22, CaoCao Inc. (‘CaoCao’ or ‘Company’, stock code: 2643.HK,) was selected to be added to the Hang Seng Composite Index as a constituent stock, with the change taking effect on September 8, 2025. The adjustment, which follows the semi-annual review results as of June 30, 2025, reflects capital market’s high recognition of CaoCao Inc.’s industry standing and growth potential. It is widely anticipated that the company will become eligible for inclusion in the Hong Kong Stock Connect on the same date, thereby broadening its investor base and attracting additional capital from Mainland China.As a key screening criterion for inclusion in the Hong Kong Stock Connect, constituents of the Hang Seng Composite Index must meet stringent requirements in market capitalization, liquidity, and representativeness. Since its listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on June 25 in 2025, CaoCao Inc. has seen a continuous rise in its share price. By the end of the review period, its market capitalization far exceeded the inclusion threshold for the Hang Seng Composite Index (institution estimates place the threshold for this adjustment at approximately HKD 7.33 billion), while its trading activity also met the requirements. The company’s unique “purpose-built vehicles + asset-light expansion” model and its early strategic deployment in the Robotaxi sector have injected new economic dynamism into the index.CaoCao Inc. is a shared mobility platform incubated by Geely. The company has become China’s second-largest ride hailing platform by 2024 Gross Transaction Value (GTV) and the largest listed mobility technology company on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Leveraging Geely’s ecosystem, CaoCao Inc. has introduced all-electric vehicle models specifically designed for shared mobility scenarios. The Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of these purpose-built vehicles is 36.4% lower than that of typical electric vehicles. The company has deployed 34,000 purpose-built vehicles across 31 major cities, representing the largest fleet of its kind.In 2024, CaoCao Inc. achieved an annual GTV of approximately RMB 17 billion, with its service network covering 136 cities nationwide. By selling purpose-built vehicles to local mobility capacity partners, it successfully expanded into 85 new cities and incentivized these partners to provide services through its platform. The company’s growing economies of scale contributed to an increase in its gross profit margin to 8.1% in 2024, reflecting continued improvement in profitability.In February 2025, CaoCao Inc. launched its autonomous driving platform, “CaoCao Zhixing,” initiating pilot operations in Suzhou and Hangzhou. In collaboration with Geely, the company is developing L4-level Robotaxi purpose-built vehicles, which are expected to have a significantly lower TCO than comparable products in the industry. According to forecasts by Frost & Sullivan, China’s Robotaxi market is projected to grow to RMB 1,600 billion by 2035. CaoCao Inc. has established China’s first self-developed closed-loop ecosystem for Robotaxi, integrating purpose-built vehicles, autonomous driving technology, and a mobility platform. With this full industrial chain advantage, its Robotaxi business is poised to become a new growth engine for the company.A number of leading financial institutions—including J.P. Morgan, Huatai Securities, and Shenwan Hongyuan Securities—previously projected that CaoCao Inc. is expected to be included in the Hong Kong Stock Connect on September 8, enabling mainland investors to directly invest in the company through the Shanghai-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect mechanism. More recently, Zheshang Securities also initiated coverage with a “Buy” rating and set a target price of HK$103.17. Analysts believe that the anticipated inclusion into the Stock Connect, coupled with accelerating commercialization of Robotaxi services, is likely to unlock further medium- to long-term valuation upside. In addition, passive funds tracking the index adjustment are expected to carry out concentrated buying during the tail end of the trading session on September 5, which may contribute to noticeable volume growth and upward momentum in CaoCao Inc.’s share price.

Ta Yang Group Holdings Limited Announcing AI Transformation Blueprint
HONG KONG, Aug 21, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Ta Yang Group Holdings Limited (“Ta Yang Group” or the “Group”; Stock Code: 1991), a well-established Hong Kong-listed company with nearly two decades of market presence, plans to further advance comprehensively into the Web 4.0 field and artificial intelligence (AI) industry. The Group will leverage AI Digital Humans as its subsequent growth engine, integrating a Real World Assets (RWA) tokenization operation platform with its inherent global traffic marketing operation system to strategically deploy across three trillion-dollar sectors: education, gaming, and big health.Against the backdrop of AI fueling a new wave of global digitization, AI is evolving from a “technological tool” to the “core of transformation” for many enterprises, driving industries to change work methods, overcome efficiency boundaries, and reshape value paradigms. IDC research indicates that for every dollar invested in generative AI, enterprises can achieve a return on investment of 3.7 times; companies deeply embracing AI have realized an average value return cycle of 13 months. Over 50% of organizations are accelerating customized AI application development, converting short-term gains into long-term competitive advantages. PwC forecasts that by 2030, AI will be a global economic game-changer, contributing up to US$15.7 trillion in growth and adding approximately 26.1% to China’s GDP. It is no surprise that AI Digital Humans, as the core multi-modal interactive carriers across industries, are gradually transitioning from concept to industrial implementation.In 2023, the Group invested in Jusheng Technology Co., Ltd. (“Jusheng Technology”), a professional digital marketing services company. Jusheng Technology plans to launch its independently developed AI Digital Humans, integrating leading technologies such as machine learning, natural language processing (NLP), computer vision (CV), speech synthesis/recognition (TTS/STT), and compatible with the xAI Grok API. This AI Digital Human is at an industry-leading level and will be introduced to three major scenarios: education, gaming, and big health. This includes, but is not limited to: a “Virtual Teacher” AI Digital Human that can adjust speaking speed and learning difficulty in real time based on students’ attention; AI NPCs in games with personalized storylines that evolve based on different player choices; and a “Health Companion” AI Digital Human offering proactive suggestions based on individuals’ 24/7 health data such as heart rate and blood pressure. The Group plans a “phased iterative and gradual open” strategy, expecting to complete the core modules and underlying technology integration within six months, release AI Digital Human prototypes for the three scenarios in the following 6 to 18 months, and integrate these into Jusheng Technology’s marketing matrix. Between 18 and 36 months, the Group aims to open related APIs or SDKs and attract global developers to build an open ecosystem.Additionally, the Group intends to take advantage of this AI and digital transformation opportunity by using blockchain-based RWA to enable off-chain cash flow-generating asset projects to be captured in real time by AI Digital Humans and recorded in smart contracts. The Group will structure and issue layered packages of assets including educational copyrights and gaming IPs tailored to investors’ risk preferences. The target for this type of asset issuance is to pilot 10 high-quality projects in the first year, with plans to expand to 100 projects within three years, involving total asset values of HK$500 million. The Group aims to serve total asset values exceeding HK$5 billion within five years, establishing a multi-domain RWA asset operation platform.It is noteworthy that RWA transactions eliminate the need for traditional brokers or intermediaries, enabling a direct connection between the physical economy and virtual markets. According to Boston Consulting Group estimates, the RWA tokenization market could grow to a valuation of US$16 trillion by 2030, underscoring its vast market potential and promising outlook.Leveraging Jusheng Technology’s 20 years of cross-border marketing experience, Ta Yang will build a traffic system characterized by “comprehensive coverage + intelligent operation + scalable growth.” Jusheng Technology’s platforms cover overseas social media such as TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, as well as domestic channels like Douyin and WeChat Video Accounts, facilitating global user reach for customers. Utilizing AI technology, processes such as account nurturing, content generation, and targeted delivery will be fully automated to reduce operational costs and improve customer acquisition efficiency. Based on this, Ta Yang Group has a clear user growth target: to attract 1 million users in the first year to form an initial traffic pool, reach over 10 million users within three years, and build a native Web 4.0 traffic pool of hundreds of millions of users within five years, creating a “traffic – conversion – repurchase” cycle.Ms. Shi Qi, Chairlady of Ta Yang Group, stated, “Ta Yang is unveiling its AI transformation blueprint and formally entering the digital asset arena, marking a significant milestone for the Group and opening a new chapter for future development. We are grateful for investors’ recognition and confidence in our growth. As a well-established Hong Kong-listed company with nearly two decades of market history, this entry into the AI industry is expected to generate four types of revenue: income from AI Digital Human-driven traffic; revenue from providing AI+RWA one-stop financing consultancy services to SMEs; matchmaking fees related to RWA transactions, as well as digital advisory subscription fees; and multilingual, multicultural AI customer service and marketing outsourcing fees charged on a per-project or annual basis. Benefiting from its business model, Jusheng Technology has maintained positive cash flow in recent years, providing ample resources for this broader AI and digital transformation initiative. As the Group’s vision through Jusheng Technology in AI gradually materializes, we look forward to creating greater value and delivering promising returns for our shareholders.”About Ta Yang Group Holdings Limited (SEHK: 1991.HK)Ta Yang Group Holdings Limited (Stock Code: 1991) was established in 1991 and successfully listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited in 2007. It is a diversified enterprise combining three decades of industry experience with a forward-looking digital vision.

Centered on “embracing technological change and reshaping the value ecosystem,” the Group precisely anchors on three core drivers: artificial intelligence (AI), Real World Assets (RWA) tokenization, and Hong Kong’s policy ecosystem. It is dedicated to bridging the transformation chain of “data — assets — value,” marking its leap from a traditional manufacturing enterprise to a digital economy pioneer.Currently, Ta Yang Group regards its Web 4.0 strategic transformation as a new starting point, focusing on the three trillion-dollar sectors of education, gaming, and big health. It aims to become a leading enterprise in the Asia-Pacific region across the dual arenas of AI and RWA, providing efficient value growth ecosystems for global investors, partners, and individual users. The Group is committed to continuously advancing high-quality development of the global digital economy and writing a new chapter from being an “industry deep cultivator” to a “digital ecosystem builder.” Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.
Everbright Grand China Achieved Revenue of RMB24.5 Million in 2025 1H
HONG KONG, Aug 22, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Everbright Grand China Assets Limited ("Everbright Grand China" or the "Group"; HKEX stock code: 03699.HK), a subsidiary of China Everbright Group, principally engaged in the businesses of property leasing, property management and the sales of properties held for sale, announced its interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2025 ("Reporting Period").During the Reporting Period, revenue of the Group was approximately RMB24.5 million, representing an increase of approximately RMB0.6 million as compared with 2024. Profit attributable to equity shareholders was approximately RMB10.1 million, representing a decrease of approximately RMB1.3 million as compared with 2024, mainly attributable to the increase in the PRC income tax and deferred taxation. Gross profit was approximately RMB18.1 million, representing an increase of approximately RMB0.6 million as compared with 2024. Basic earnings per share of the Group was approximately RMB2.30 cents (2024: RMB2.59 cents). The Board declared an interim dividend of RMB0.73 cents (equivalent to HK0.80 cents) per ordinary share.Considering that the current operating environment remains relatively challenging, the Board declared an interim dividend of RMB0.73 cents (equivalent to HK0.80 cents) per ordinary share, as a token of appreciation to shareholders for their continuous support. In the second half of the year, the Company will decide on dividend distribution taking into account factors such as business development needs, financial performance and capital position, as well as performance growth, in order to bring the best return to the Company's shareholders and investors.In 2025, global economic environment continues to be characterized by uncertainties. Factors such as geopolitical risks, inflationary pressures and monetary policy adjustments in major economies around the world continue to affect market confidence and capital flows. Nevertheless, the overall stability of China’s economy, the gradual rebound of the consumer market and the continued optimization and upgrading of the industrial structure have provided a solid foundation for the development of the property management and leasing industry.For the six months ended 30 June 2025, the Group generated rental income of approximately RMB17.0 million (2024: RMB16.3 million), representing an increase of approximately RMB0.7 million as compared to the same period last year. The Company’s properties maintained an occupancy rate of approximately 81%, with the overall leasing market performing solidly, although newly signed rents declined compared to the previous period. In the face of downward pressure on rents, the Group will enhance its consolidated earning power by adding additional services to new leases to mitigate the impact of lower rents on overall revenue. This not only enriches the service offerings, but also helps to enhance customer stickiness and satisfaction, further consolidating the Group’s market competitiveness.During the period, revenue from the property management services was approximately RMB7.5 million (2024: RMB7.6 million), representing a decrease of approximately RMB0.1 million as compared to the same period last year. In terms of property portfolio strategy, the Group actively promotes tenant diversification to mitigate industry risks and adapt to the accelerated rise and fall of market environment of various industries. The Group’s existing properties are mainly concentrated in two core cities of Chengdu in Sichuan Province and Kunming in Yunnan Province, covering three commercial buildings, namely Everbright Financial Center, Everbright International Mansion and Ming Chang Building, with a total gross floor area of approximately 89,507 square meters. Benefiting from its excellent geographical location and sound property quality, it has attracted a large number of state-owned enterprises and large organizations to move in and has a solid leasing base. In the future, the Group will promote business diversification to enhance its overall risk-resistant capability.In terms of overseas investment, the Group is evaluating investment opportunities in international markets and is cautiously optimistic about overseas markets. Notwithstanding the volatility of the global economy, the Group will adhere to the principle of prudence and flexibility in its investment horizon to ensure the safety and profitability of its capital operations.As at 30 June 2025, The Group maintained cash and bank balances and bank deposits of approximately RMB236.2 million (31 December 2024: RMB231.5 million). The Group’s gearing ratio, being measured by the Group’s total liabilities over its total assets, was 18.6% (31 December 2024: 18.0%). The Group’s liquidity position was well-managed.Looking ahead to the second half of 2025, there are no new property management projects for the time being, despite favourable lease performance in the first half of the year. The Group is actively looking for suitable investment windows for its acquisition and investment plans which were delayed during the epidemic. With the active domestic economy and falling interest rates, the market’s willingness to invest has increased significantly.The Group will continue to deepen its digital transformation and actively utilize technology to promote the construction of intelligent properties and enhance operational efficiency and customer experience. Through technological empowerment, we optimize the allocation of human resources and service processes, enhance the level of intelligence and refinement of property management, and improve overall service quality and customer satisfaction.In addition, the Group will fully utilize the synergies with its parent company, China Everbright Group, and leverage on the popularity of the “Everbright” brand and its resource advantages to actively develop diversified value-added services, enrich its revenue structure and enhance its brand influence. In the face of industry restructuring and upgrading, the Group insists on stable operation, focuses on risk management and internal control, responds flexibly to changes in the macro-economy and policies, and continues to optimize its asset portfolio in order to enhance its risk-resistant capability.

宿醉預防補充劑真的有效嗎？
(SeaPRwire) - 誰不想在飲酒狂歡後避免宿醉呢？您可能在播客廣告或社交媒體上看到過它們：一種相對較新的產品聲稱能讓您享受夜晚的派對，而隔天不遭受宿醉症狀——前提是您在飲酒前或飲酒後吞服這些產品。 不同的產品含有不同的成分。這些可能包括電解質、抗氧化劑、益生菌、某些維生素、礦物質或其他營養素——以粉末、膠囊或飲料的形式——公司聲稱這些能減輕酒精對您身體的影響。 例如，ZBiotics 的飲酒前益生菌飲品聲稱能幫助您的身體分解乙醛，這是酒精代謝的副產品。Myrkl 含有益生元、益生菌、胺基酸L-半胱氨酸，據稱能幫助您的身體處理酒精並減少飲酒後的疲勞。Capsulyte Pregame 含有二氫楊梅素 (DHM)，一種在許多植物中發現的類黃酮，以及水飛薊素提取物、多酚和N-乙酰半胱氨酸 (NAC)，後者是抗氧化劑穀胱甘肽的前體，該公司聲稱這些成分有助於減少酒精對您身體的影響。而 WaterBoy 的 Weekend Recovery 和 DripDrop 的 Electrolyte Powder Packets 則含有電解質（例如鉀、鎂和鈉）。 關於其益處的證詞比比皆是，但支持其所謂優點的科學證據卻很少。Brown University 精神病學、人類行為和公共衛生教授 Dr. Robert Swift 表示：「功效的黃金標準是對照、雙盲臨床試驗——這些產品都沒有達到該標準。」Swift 博士曾對酒精和藥物濫用及依賴的藥理學治療進行臨床和實驗室研究。他補充說，其中一些產品針對脫水，但這不一定意味著它們能有效預防宿醉。 一項由 Myrkl 的母公司 DeFaire Medical AB 資助的小型研究發現，24 名受試者在連續一周每天服用兩次補充劑後，飲酒時身體吸收的酒精更少，導致血液酒精濃度降低了 70%。然而，在飲酒前是否服用補充劑的人之間，認知功能測試沒有差異——而且該研究並未明確針對宿醉症狀。 在 2022 年對 21 項安慰劑對照隨機試驗的回顧中，這些試驗測試了廣泛聲稱的宿醉預防成分，研究人員得出結論：「僅有非常低質量的功效證據可推薦任何藥理活性干預來治療或預防酒精引起的宿醉。」 是什麼導致宿醉——這些產品真的能對此有所作為嗎？ 宿醉通常由多種因素共同引起。首先，飲酒會導致脫水以及電解質失衡。「酒精是一種利尿劑，所以它會讓你排尿更多。」UTHealth Houston 成癮神經行為研究中心醫學主任 Dr. Michael Weaver 說。 此外，「酒精非常促炎症。」Swift 說。這部分是因為「酒精會導致腸道滲漏——腸道中產生炎症的細菌可能會進入血液並引起全身炎症。」這導致了疲勞和頭痛等宿醉症狀。 飲酒還會擾亂您的睡眠，這會加劇所有這些症狀。當肝臟分解酒精時，會產生一種叫做乙醛的副產品；Swift 說，高水平的乙醛會引起炎症以及噁心、嘔吐、頭痛和其他宿醉症狀。 一些飲酒前產品確實解決了這些問題中的一個或多個。但是，「它們大多數是液體和電解質——它們提供了一種更花哨的方式來做人們本來就應該做的事情，那就是保持水分。」Weaver 說。 這些產品中添加益生菌背後的想法是，理論上，攝入含有能分解胃中乙醛的酶的細菌可能有助於預防宿醉症狀。但即使這些益生菌能夠清除胃中的乙醛，「您在肝臟和大腦中也存在乙醛。」Swift 指出。 至於其他成分，B族維生素可以幫助人們代謝酒精，讓他們「更快地將其排出體外」。Swift 說。而 DHM 和黃酮類化合物具有抗炎活性，這可能對處理頭痛和其他炎症症狀有幫助。 但是，再次強調，現有的研究尚未有力地證明市售配方能有效對抗宿醉。 結論 雖然這些飲酒前產品是否真的能預防宿醉仍無定論，但人們對它們可能如何影響一個人的飲酒習慣存在其他擔憂。「對於某些人來說，宿醉可能會對大量飲酒提供一種天然的生物抑制劑。」Swift 說。即使它們真的如廣告所說的那樣有效——Swift 對此表示懷疑——「消除這種生物制約可能對你不好。」他說。 事實上，有人擔心，廣泛定期使用這些類型的產品可能會無意中促進過度飲酒：2023 年發表在 *Alcohol and Alcoholism* 期刊上的一項研究發現，使用非處方宿醉藥物（包括各種補充劑）的年輕人往往有更嚴重的飲酒模式，例如酗酒。 「避免宿醉的最佳方法是不喝酒。」Weaver 說。第二好的方法是什麼？「如果您要喝酒，不要只喝酒精飲料——還要喝其他飲料，例如水或無糖飲料，並將酒精飲料與非酒精飲料交替飲用。」 為了預防宿醉，在飲酒前吃一頓飯或一份豐盛的零食，以減緩身體對酒精的吸收，這也是明智之舉。換句話說，Weaver 說，請聽從您早在這些產品上市之前就已知道的建議：「不要空腹飲酒。」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。
聯邦調查局搜查川普前顧問、知名批評者約翰·波頓的住所和辦公室
(SeaPRwire) - 根據多方新聞報導，聯邦探員週五搜查了約翰·波頓（John Bolton）位於馬里蘭州的住所和華盛頓的辦公室，他是前總統唐納德·川普（Donald Trump）第一任政府期間公開與川普決裂的人，此舉是司法部針對機密文件處理不當進行調查的一部分。 這些經法院授權的搜查標誌著川普政府對其黨內最直言不諱的批評者之一的追捕戲劇性升級。報導稱，波頓在白宮任職17個月後被，既未被拘留也未被起訴。 此次調查使波頓成為川普自一月重返總統職位以來，司法部鎖定的越來越多政治對手中的最新一人。近幾個月來，聯邦檢察官已對以下人士展開調查：曾對川普公司提起民事欺詐訴訟的紐約州檢察長萊蒂西亞·詹姆斯（Letitia James）；川普首次彈劾案中的主要人物、加州民主黨參議員亞當·希夫（Adam Schiff）；以及前FBI局長詹姆斯·科米（James Comey）。所有人都否認有不法行為。 司法部拒絕公開評論此次搜查，但其領導人似乎在社交媒體上暗示了此次行動。FBI局長卡什·帕特爾（Kash Patel）發文稱：「沒有人可以凌駕於法律之上……@FBI探員正在執行任務。」司法部長潘·邦迪（Pam Bondi）轉發了這條消息，並寫道：「美國的安全不容協商。正義將會被伸張。永遠。」 對波頓的調查確切焦點仍不明確，但據信與潛在的國家安全資訊處理不當或保留有關。川普此前曾威脅要監禁波頓，原因是他的2020年回憶錄《事發之室》（The Room Where It Happened），該書描繪川普在外交政策上缺乏資訊，並主要受個人政治利益驅動。在威廉·P·巴爾（William P. Barr）擔任司法部長期間，司法部曾試圖阻止該書發行，聲稱其中包含機密資訊，但職業官員已清除了該手稿，該案在2021年拜登政府時期被撤銷。 川普曾多次攻擊這位前顧問，嘲諷他是可能將國家帶入「第六次世界大戰」的「戰爭販子」。一月他重返橢圓形辦公室的第一天，川普撤銷了包括波頓在內的四十多名前情報官員的安全許可。川普還取消了波頓的特勤局保護，儘管司法部曾表示，波頓是伊朗伊斯蘭革命衛隊成員涉嫌的雇兇謀殺計畫的目標。 波頓還曾擔任喬治·W·布希（George W. Bush）總統時期的聯合國大使，並在羅納德·雷根（Ronald Reagan）總統政府中擔任職務。作為國家安全顧問，他經常在阿富汗、伊朗和北韓問題上與川普發生衝突。 本月早些時候，川普抱怨媒體「不斷引用像約翰·波頓這樣被解雇的失敗者和非常愚蠢的人」。 在本月的一次，波頓將現任政府描述為「復仇總統任期」，稱川普已經通過剝奪他的安全細節「來找他的麻煩」。 2023年，拜登司法部起訴川普，指控川普在2021年1月離任後，將機密文件從白宮帶到他在海湖莊園（Mar-a-Lago）的住所，並炫耀一份五角大廈的「攻擊計畫」和機密地圖，以及阻礙政府取回文件的努力，違反了法律。去年，當時的司法部特別檢察官傑克·史密斯（Jack Smith）在川普再次當選後提出撤銷指控。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。
Google 的 AI 氣候足跡：你需要了解什麼
(SeaPRwire) - 對於那些擔憂的人來說，依賴AI的網路查詢崛起令人擔憂。許多人轉向ChatGPT和其他服務來處理簡單問題。甚至基本的Google搜尋也包含了AI衍生的結果。 根據不同的計算方式，AI查詢的能源使用量和相關氣候成本可能會得出很大的範圍。ChatGPT提供的數據顯示，每次提示（prompt）最多消耗0.34瓦時，相當於使用一個家用燈泡20秒，而一組研究人員表示，某些模型對於更長的提示，消耗的能源可能高出100倍。 週四，Google發布了自己的數據：使用Gemini（該公司無所不在的AI工具）的平均搜尋消耗0.24瓦時。這相當於觀看約九秒鐘的電視。這樣的搜尋排放0.03克二氧化碳當量。或許更有趣的是，Google表示Gemini的文字查詢隨著時間變得更清潔。該公司表示，過去一年中，每次查詢的能源消耗減少了約97%，而每次查詢的碳排放減少了98%。Google今年稍早發布的另一份報告顯示，數據中心的能源消耗與其產生的排放量脫鉤。（當然，值得注意的是，簡單的文字查詢比圖像、音訊或視覺生成等其他功能所需資源少，而且這些數字不包括模型訓練——這些數字沒有包含在Google的報告中，因為準確計算它們存在挑戰）。 這種下降趨勢是否能持續下去，對於關注美國能源和氣候未來的人來說是一個關鍵問題——其影響不僅限於美國未來的排放量，還關係到電力行業數千億美元的投資。在各種相關行業中，領導者將需要努力在兩者之間取得平衡：滿足對AI日益增長的需求，同時避免在AI模型變得更高效時過度建設基礎設施。 Google的進展歸結為兩個關鍵點：更清潔的電力和更高效的晶片及查詢處理。 清潔能源策略令人印象深刻，但相當直接。該公司購買大量再生能源來為其營運供電，僅去年就簽署了購買8GW清潔電力的合約。根據能源部的數據，這相當於2,400台公用事業規模風力渦輪機的發電能力。展望未來，該公司已投資協助將其他未來清潔技術（如核融合）投入運作。 但接著是該公司的效率措施。在能源界，效率通常是指簡單地減少能源使用，並使能源硬體運行更有效率——想想氣候控制或更好的隔熱措施。儘管Google已經做了一些這方面的工作，但最令人印象深刻的效率提升來自於AI生態系統，而非能源系統。該公司創建了自己的晶片——它稱之為TPUs，與廣泛使用的GPUs不同。根據Google的永續發展報告，這些晶片隨著時間的推移變得更高效——自2018年以來效率提升了約30倍。該公司還透過採用不同方式處理查詢的技術來提高其模型的效率，從而減少所需的計算能力。幾週前，該公司宣布了一項計畫，將數據中心的需求轉移到電網壓力較小的時段。 這個問題——不僅對Google，對任何深度投資AI的公司來說——是這些計畫和由此產生的效率提升能否持續下去。更深入的效率提升將是巨大的氣候勝利——只要使用量的增長不超過效率的提升。 更高的效率也將對整個能源部門產生重大影響。目前，電力公司正大力押注新的發電來源，前提是AI將繼續推動需求增長。但很難準確預測需求會增長多快。預期的效率提升是其中一個重要原因，Google的結果至少應該讓你停下來思考那些已知但尚未明確的潛力。 若要將此故事發送至您的收件箱，請訂閱TIME CO2 Leadership Report電子報。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。
印度與中國修補關係的真正原因
(SeaPRwire) - 印度和中國在經歷了多年緊張關係加劇後，正在修補關係。 就在過去幾天，中國外交部長王毅訪問了新德里，會見了總理納倫德拉·莫迪及其他印度高級官員，同時兩國之間的直航班機在五年來首次恢復。王毅與印度外長蘇傑生的會晤，是自2020年邊境衝突導致至少20名印度士兵和4名中國士兵死亡以來，雙方之間的第二次此類會晤。王毅「積極」的會談似乎為莫迪本月稍晚進行的七年來首次訪華鋪平了道路，屆時他將會見中國國家主席習近平。 此次和解被視為在印度與美國關係日益動盪之際發生。總統唐納德·川普已對印度進口商品徵收關稅——這是亞洲最高的關稅。白宮貿易顧問彼得·納瓦羅聲稱，印度透過精煉受禁運的原油並以高價出口，充當了「俄羅斯石油的全球結算中心」，有效地為莫斯科輸送了急需的美元。納瓦羅以帶有冷戰色彩的措辭警告：「如果印度希望被視為美國的戰略夥伴，它就需要開始像一個戰略夥伴那樣行事。」印度對此提出了異議，但實際上是前拜登政府要求德里購買俄羅斯石油，以幫助穩定全球能源市場。 然而，這些論點對川普而言毫無價值，他希望與印度早日達成貿易協議的期望，卻遭到了德里強硬的談判立場。這很可能是一位慣於採取此類手段的人，徵收關稅的真正理由。 無論如何，隨著川普公開羞辱印度及其領導層，印度民眾對川普的態度正在惡化。這進一步限制了印度官員在貿易等棘手問題上與華盛頓達成協議的能力。但也可能危及兩國精心制定的印太政策，因為關於「四方安全對話」（Quad）的未來問題浮出水面，該對話印度已與澳洲、日本和美國共同參與，以應對中國在該地區日益增長的影響力。 因此，近期美印之間的爭執是北京一直在等待的一個機會——它為中國與印度在某些問題上合作，重建雙邊關係開闢了新的可能性，同時也削弱了曾經蓬勃發展的印美夥伴關係的鋒芒。 然而，將此主要視為對川普行為的回應將是一個錯誤。雖然川普的行動可能加速了中印接觸，但這種謹慎的正常化進程自去年10月就已開始，當時印度和中國就在巡邏安排上達成了一致，試圖緩解有爭議的喜馬拉雅邊境地區的緊張局勢。 自2020年衝突以來，德里一直堅稱是北京單方面改變了現狀，在其邊境一側修建帳篷和觀察塔。當中國去年同意脫離接觸時，這就等於默認了正是北京的行動導致了這場危機。因此，德里開始恢復與中國的政治關係。 此後，雙方採取了多項措施以實現關係正常化。中國今年已允許印度朝聖者訪問西藏自治區的重要宗教場所。作為回報，印度已恢復對中國遊客的簽證服務，並同意重啟通過指定山口恢復邊境貿易的談判。在王毅最近的訪問中，雙方還決定設立新的專家和工作組，負責邊界劃定，同時中國向印度保證將解決其對化肥、稀土和隧道掘進機（TBMs）的需求——這些商品的進口因中印關係緊張而受到影響。 然而，印度鮮有人對中印關係的未來抱有任何幻想。過去有過太多次的假性開端。無論有沒有美國，印度都將繼續對中國的意圖保持警惕，因為兩國關係的基本面仍然是競爭性的，德里仍然熱衷於建立一個威懾框架，以避免2020年那樣的情況再次發生。 如果川普確實是一個因素，那他也只是一個微不足道的因素。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。
