Hubungan Kanada-India Mungkin Butuh Waktu Lama untuk Pulih Berita

Hubungan Kanada-India Mungkin Butuh Waktu Lama untuk Pulih

(SeaPRwire) - Perseteruan diplomatik yang telah menegangkan hubungan bilateral selama lebih dari setahun telah memuncak ketika kedua negara saling mengusir diplomat top masing-masing terkait pembunuhan seorang aktivis Sikh di Kanada dan tuduhan kejahatan lainnya.Para ahli mengatakan kebuntuan diplomatik ini akan mempersulit kedua negara untuk bergerak maju dengan kemitraan yang dulunya menjanjikan, dan dapat berdampak pada ambisi India saat berusaha memproyeksikan dirinya sebagai kekuatan dunia yang sedang naik daun."Hubungan bilateral India-Kanada, yang telah mengalami penurunan sejak tahun lalu, akan semakin terpuruk dan akan memakan waktu lama untuk diperbaiki," kata Praveen Donthi, analis senior di International Crisis Group.Pengusiran tit-for-tat pada hari Senin terjadi setelah Kanada memberi tahu India pada hari Minggu bahwa diplomat topnya di negara itu adalah orang yang menarik minat dalam pembunuhan pada tahun 2023, dan bahwa polisi telah menemukan bukti kampanye yang meningkat terhadap warga negara Kanada oleh agen pemerintah India.Menteri Luar Negeri Kanada, Mélanie Joly juga mengaitkan lima pejabat India lainnya yang diusir dengan pembunuhan Nijjar dan mengatakan Kanada telah mengumpulkan "bukti yang cukup, jelas dan konkret yang mengidentifikasi enam individu sebagai orang yang menarik minat dalam kasus Nijjar."Kementerian luar negeri India menolak tuduhan tersebut sebagai absurd, dan mengatakan akan mengusir pelaksana tugas tinggi komisaris Kanada dan lima diplomat lainnya sebagai tanggapan.Kekhawatiran India tentang kelompok separatis Sikh telah lama menjadi beban pada hubungannya dengan Kanada, di mana sekitar 2% penduduknya adalah Sikh. India semakin menuduh pemerintah Justin Trudeau memberi kebebasan kepada separatis Sikh dari gerakan yang dulunya kuat untuk menciptakan tanah air Sikh yang merdeka yang dikenal sebagai Khalistan.Nijjar adalah pemimpin lokal dari gerakan Khalistan, yang dilarang di India. India menunjuknya sebagai teroris pada tahun 2020, dan pada saat kematiannya sedang berusaha menangkapnya karena diduga terlibat dalam serangan terhadap seorang pendeta Hindu di India.Polisi Kanada mengatakan Nijjar ditembak saat dia meninggalkan tempat parkir kuil Sikh tempat dia menjabat sebagai presiden di British Columbia pada 18 Juni 2023. Dia menderita banyak luka tembak dan meninggal di tempat kejadian.Kementerian luar negeri India dalam pernyataannya pada hari Senin mengaitkan tuduhan Kanada dengan "agenda politik pemerintah Trudeau." Pemimpin Kanada menghadapi pemilihan umum nasional tahun depan.Michael Kugelman dari Wilson Center, sebuah lembaga pemikir Amerika, mengatakan reaksi keras India sebagian dijelaskan oleh bagaimana Kanada telah membuat tuduhannya secara publik."New Delhi sangat sensitif terhadap kritik eksternal terhadap kebijakannya. Namun Kanada tidak hanya mengkritik kebijakan India. Pemerintahnya, di tingkat tertinggi, secara terbuka menyuarakan beberapa tuduhan paling serius yang dapat dibuat pemerintah lain," katanya.Tahun lalu, menanggapi tuduhan serupa yang dibuat oleh Trudeau, India meminta Kanada untuk menarik 41 dari 62 diplomatnya di negara itu.Kugelman mengatakan hubungan itu "sedang dalam keadaan kritis saat ini" dan kekhawatiran India tentang gerakan Khalistan di Kanada "pada dasarnya menahan hubungan ini sebagai sandera."Kanada bukanlah satu-satunya negara yang menuduh pejabat India merencanakan asosiasi di tanah asing.Tahun lalu, jaksa U,S, mengatakan seorang pejabat pemerintah India mengarahkan sebuah rencana yang gagal untuk membunuh pemimpin separatis Sikh lainnya di New York. Pejabat itu tidak didakwa atau diidentifikasi namanya, tetapi digambarkan sebagai "petugas lapangan senior" dengan tanggung jawab dalam manajemen keamanan dan intelijen.New Delhi pada saat itu menyatakan keprihatinan setelah AS mengangkat masalah tersebut dan mengatakan India menanggapinya dengan serius. Pada hari Senin, Departemen Luar Negeri AS mengatakan dalam sebuah pernyataan bahwa komite penyelidikan India yang dibentuk untuk menyelidiki plot tersebut akan melakukan perjalanan ke Washington pada hari Selasa sebagai bagian dari penyelidikan yang sedang berlangsung.Menteri luar negeri Kanada pada hari Senin mencatat bahwa India sedang bekerja sama dengan pejabat AS tetapi mengatakan telah menolak untuk bekerja sama dalam penyelidikan Kanada.Donthi mengatakan postur diplomatik India melawan Kanada lebih agresif karena taruhannya relatif rendah."Hubungan AS-India juga memiliki kerangka kerja dan konteks geopolitik yang lebih besar, tidak seperti hubungan India dengan Kanada," kata Donthi, menambahkan bahwa reaksi keras India juga dimaksudkan untuk menyampaikan pesan kepada pendukung Perdana Menteri Narendra Modi di dalam negeri."Kritik publik apa pun merupakan anatema bagi pemerintah India, yang dipersonifikasikan Modi. Reaksi agresif seperti itu ditujukan kepada masyarakat internasional dan, yang lebih penting, kepada konstituen domestik Modi," katanya.Namun, para ahli mengatakan kebuntuan itu dapat berdampak pada ambisi global Modi saat dia berusaha menjadikan India sebagai kekuatan global yang sedang naik daun dan semakin dekat dengan AS, yang seperti India mengawasi pertumbuhan asertivitas China dengan kekhawatiran.Donthi mengatakan keretakan yang berkembang antara India dan Kanada juga akan "berdampak pada pemahaman strategis yang berkembang antara AS dan demokrasi Barat" yang sedang merayu New Delhi sebagai penyeimbang terhadap Beijing."Tuduhan Kanada terhadap India bertentangan dengan arus, karena New Delhi telah menikmati lingkungan eksternal yang menguntungkan," kata Donthi. "Ini akan membuat rencana ambisi kekuatan besar India menjadi terhambat."Artikel ini disediakan oleh penyedia konten pihak ketiga.

Korea Utara Meledakkan Bagian dari Jalur Jalan dan Rel Antar-Korea sebagai Tampilan Simbolis Kemarahan Berita

Korea Utara Meledakkan Bagian dari Jalur Jalan dan Rel Antar-Korea sebagai Tampilan Simbolis Kemarahan

(SeaPRwire) - Dalam sebuah demonstrasi kemarahan simbolis, pada hari Selasa meledakkan bagian utara dari jalur jalan dan kereta api yang tidak digunakan yang dulunya menghubungkannya dengan Korea Selatan, dengan kedua negara saling mengancam beberapa hari setelah Korea Utara mengklaim bahwa Korea Selatan menerbangkan drone di atas ibu kotanya, Pyongyang.Pembongkaran yang diatur ini menggarisbawahi meningkatnya kemarahan Korea Utara terhadap . Pemimpin Korea Utara Kim Jong Un telah berjanji untuk memutuskan hubungan dengan Korea Selatan dan meninggalkan tujuan untuk mencapai penyatuan Korea secara damai.Pengamat mengatakan tidak mungkin Kim akan melancarkan serangan mendadak berskala besar terhadap Korea Selatan karena takut bahwa pembalasan besar-besaran yang hampir pasti oleh pasukan Amerika Serikat dan Korea Selatan yang lebih unggul akan mengancam kelangsungan hidup Pyongyang.Menanggapi ledakan tersebut, Kepala Staf Gabungan Korea Selatan mengatakan militernya menembakkan tembakan peringatan di bagian selatan perbatasan saat mereka meningkatkan kesiapan dan postur pengawasannya. Pernyataan itu tidak memberikan rincian, tetapi langkah itu mungkin merupakan upaya untuk mencegah tembakan lintas batas oleh Korea Utara.Kementerian Unifikasi Korea Selatan, yang menangani urusan dengan Korea Utara, secara terpisah mengecam detonasi Korea Utara sebagai tindakan "sangat tidak normal" dan "regresif" yang melanggar perjanjian antar-Korea sebelumnya.Video yang disediakan oleh militer Korea Selatan menunjukkan awan asap putih dan abu-abu muncul dari ledakan di jalan dekat kota perbatasan barat Kaesong. Truk dan ekskavator Korea Utara dapat terlihat membersihkan puing-puing. Video lain menunjukkan asap muncul dari jalan pesisir dekat perbatasan timur.Selama era detente antar-Korea sebelumnya pada tahun 2000-an, kedua Korea menghubungkan kembali dua pasang jalur jalan dan kereta api melintasi perbatasan mereka yang dijaga ketat - satu pasang disebut Jalur Gyeongui di bagian barat dan yang lainnya disebut Jalur Donghae di bagian timur. Tetapi operasinya kemudian ditangguhkan karena kedua Korea berselisih tentang program nuklir Korea Utara dan masalah lainnya.Bagian dari rute jalan di Jalur Gyeongui dan bagian dari jalur jalan dan kereta api di Jalur Donghae dihancurkan pada hari Selasa. Korea Utara telah melepaskan ikatan dan rel dari sisi utara jalur kereta api Jalur Gyeongui, menurut militer Korea Selatan.Korea Utara memiliki sejarah melakukan penghancuran fasilitas di tanahnya sendiri sebagai pesan politik yang diatur.Pada tahun 2020, Korea Utara meledakkan gedung kantor penghubung yang kosong yang dibangun Korea Selatan tepat di utara perbatasan sebagai pembalasan atas kampanye selebaran warga sipil Korea Selatan. Pada tahun 2018, Korea Utara menghancurkan terowongan di lokasi uji nuklirnya pada awal diplomasi nuklir dengan Amerika Serikat. Pada tahun 2008, Korea Utara meledakkan menara pendingin di kompleks nuklir utamanya ketika negosiasi pelepasan senjata untuk bantuan sebelumnya dengan Washington dan yang lainnya sedang terjadi.Menghancurkan jalur jalan dan kereta api, yang sebagian besar dibangun dengan uang Korea Selatan, akan sesuai dengan perintah pemimpin Kim Jong Un pada bulan Januari untuk meninggalkan tujuan penyatuan Korea secara damai dan secara resmi menunjuk Korea Selatan sebagai "musuh utama yang tak terelakkan" negara itu. Perintah itu mengejutkan banyak pengamat di luar Korea Utara karena tampaknya melepaskan diri dari impian lama para pendahulunya untuk menyatukan Semenanjung Korea secara damai dengan syarat Korea Utara.Para ahli mengatakan Kim kemungkinan bertujuan untuk mengurangi suara Korea Selatan dalam kebuntuan nuklir regional dan mencari hubungan langsung dengan Amerika Serikat. Kim mungkin juga berharap untuk mengurangi pengaruh budaya Korea Selatan dan meningkatkan kekuasaan dinasti keluarganya di dalam negeri.Korea Utara telah menuduh Korea Selatan menyusupkan drone untuk menjatuhkan selebaran propaganda di atas Pyongyang tiga kali bulan ini dan mengancam untuk menanggapi dengan kekerasan jika itu terjadi lagi. Korea Selatan telah menolak untuk mengkonfirmasi apakah mereka mengirim drone tetapi memperingatkan bahwa Korea Utara akan menghadapi akhir rezimnya jika keselamatan warga Korea Selatan terancam.Kim Yo Jong, saudara perempuan Kim Jong Un yang berpengaruh, mengatakan pada hari Selasa bahwa Korea Utara telah mengamankan bukti jelas yang tidak ditentukan bahwa "gangster militer" Korea Selatan berada di balik dugaan penerbangan drone. Dia memperingatkan bahwa Korea Selatan "harus membayar mahal".Media pemerintah Korea Utara melaporkan pada hari Selasa bahwa Kim Jong Un telah menetapkan tugas yang tidak ditentukan terkait dengan "aksi militer segera" dan pengoperasian pencegah perang miliknya selama pertemuan pada hari Senin. Militer Korea Utara sebelumnya mengancam akan mengubah Korea Selatan menjadi "tumpukan abu", dengan mengatakan unit-unit pasukan garis depannya siap untuk menembak.Kementerian Unifikasi Korea Selatan mengatakan jalan lintas batas dan jalur kereta api dibangun dengan bahan dan peralatan Korea Selatan senilai $132,9 juta yang disediakan dalam bentuk pinjaman, dan Korea Utara masih berkewajiban untuk membayar kembali bantuan tersebut.Minggu lalu, Korea Utara mengatakan akan memblokir perbatasannya dengan Korea Selatan secara permanen dan membangun struktur pertahanan garis depan. Pejabat Korea Selatan mengatakan Korea Utara telah menambahkan penghalang anti-tank dan meletakkan ranjau di sepanjang perbatasan sejak awal tahun ini.Dalam beberapa tahun terakhir Korea Utara telah melakukan serangkaian uji coba rudal yang provokatif, dan Korea Selatan telah memperluas latihan militer dan kerja sama.Artikel ini disediakan oleh penyedia konten pihak ketiga.

Pria Rusia Diselamatkan Setelah 67 Hari Terombang-ambing di Laut. Anggota keluarganya tidak selamat.

(SeaPRwire) - Tim penyelamat telah menyelamatkan seorang pria yang terdampar di laut selama lebih dari dua bulan di dalam perahu karet, tetapi saudara laki-lakinya dan keponakannya telah meninggal dunia, kata para pejabat pada hari Selasa.Menurut kantor kejaksaan di ujung timur Rusia, pria itu diselamatkan pada hari Senin di Laut Okhotsk setelah kapal penangkap ikan melihatnya di lepas Semenanjung Kamchatka, menurut laporan Associated Press.Media berita Rusia mengidentifikasi pria itu sebagai Mikhail Pichugin, 46 tahun, yang pada awal Agustus telah berangkat dalam ekspedisi menonton paus bersama saudara laki-lakinya yang berusia 49 tahun dan keponakannya yang berusia 15 tahun. Jasad mereka dilaporkan ditemukan di dalam perahu saat kapal penangkap ikan Angel menyelamatkan Pichugin, menurut AP.Laporan media menyebutkan bahwa ketiga pria itu melakukan perjalanan ke Kepulauan Shantar di lepas pantai barat laut Laut Okhotsk pada awal Agustus. Mereka hilang setelah berangkat ke Pulau Sakhalin dari Tanjung Perovsky di wilayah Khabarovsk pada tanggal 9 Agustus. Upaya penyelamatan diluncurkan tetapi gagal menemukan mereka.Ketiga pria itu hanya memiliki sedikit makanan dan sekitar 5,2 galon air ketika mesin perahu mereka rusak dan mereka terdampar, menurut .Kru kapal penangkap ikan tidak segera menyadari titik kecil di radar mereka adalah perahu tetapi malah mengira itu mungkin pelampung atau potongan sampah, kata laporan berita. Mereka terkejut ketika mereka menggunakan sorot mereka dan menemukan seorang pria yang kelaparan di dalam perahu.Pichugin dilaporkan hanya memiliki berat 110 pon pada saat penyelamatannya, setelah kehilangan setengah dari berat badannya.Dia tidak segera mengatakan bagaimana dia berhasil bertahan hidup di Laut Okhotsk, laut terdingin di Asia Timur dan terkenal dengan badai kencang, atau bagaimana saudara laki-lakinya dan keponakannya meninggal. Awak kapal yang menyelamatkan Pichugin menemukan jasad mereka terikat ke perahu untuk mencegah mereka hanyut terbawa laut, menurut laporan berita.Saat perahu Pichugin ditemukan, perahu itu hanyut sekitar 11 mil laut dari pantai Kamchatka, sekitar 540 mil laut dari titik asal mereka di sisi lain .Video yang dirilis oleh kantor kejaksaan menunjukkan seorang pria yang kurus kering dengan putus asa berteriak "datanglah ke sini!" kepada penyelamatnya, menurut laporan AP."Saya tidak punya tenaga lagi," kata Pichugin kepada kru penyelamat saat mereka bekerja untuk membawanya ke tempat aman.Jaksa mengatakan mereka telah membuka penyelidikan atas insiden tersebut dan sedang menyelidiki tuduhan yang terkait dengan pelanggaran aturan keselamatan yang mengakibatkan kematian.Pichugin dibawa ke unit perawatan darurat di rumah sakit Magadan, menurut laporan AP. Kepala dokter Yuri Lednev mengatakan kepada wartawan bahwa dia menderita dehidrasi dan hipotermia, tetapi kondisinya stabil.Artikel ini disediakan oleh penyedia konten pihak ketiga.

Fujitsu implements global launch of world’s first AI application to prevent quality degradation in 5G wireless networks JCN Newswire

Fujitsu implements global launch of world’s first AI application to prevent quality degradation in 5G wireless networks

KAWASAKI, Japan, Oct 15, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Fujitsu today announced the development of an application that leverages AI technology to enhance mobile network communication quality, while achieving energy savings and optimizing network operations. This development is part of the Research and Development Project of the Enhanced Infrastructures for Post-5G Information and Communication Systems (hereafter NEDO-led project) (1) conducted by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO). Fujitsu, which has a successful track record of introducing radio unit (RU) products to the global market, will incorporate this technology into its O-RAN (2) compliant Service Management and Orchestration (SMO) (3) system, FUJITSU Network Virtuora Service Management and Orchestration. Fujitsu will implement a gradual global rollout of the technology to mobile network operators starting in November 2024 by leveraging the footprint it has already cultivated in RU.This application comprises three key technologies:An AI-powered technology that can estimate smartphone users’ quality of experience (QoE) on their networks in real time.A technology that detects early signs of increased communication traffic and proactively prevents network quality degradation.A technology that detects network quality degradation and redefines the area covered by peripheral base stations to maintain optimal quality.Fujitsu verified the effectiveness of these technologies in August 2024 using real commercial data from mobile network operators (4) under conditions closely resembling actual operating environments.This application will ensure a seamless and reliable connection for mobile network users, not only during normal operations but also during emergencies and periods of increased network traffic, ultimately enhancing user convenience, satisfaction, and safety in critical situations. For mobile network operators, the application will reduce operational costs and save power through optimized operations.BackgroundAs digital transformation (DX) accelerates globally, the adoption of 5G mobile networks is rapidly expanding as a key infrastructure component. Mobile network operators are expected to further enhance their capabilities, including ultra-low latency and simultaneous connectivity, while ensuring network quality at user and application levels. Furthermore, the RAN (Radio Access Network) domain is undergoing open and virtualized transformation based on the O-RAN concept, leading to anticipated reductions in total cost of ownership (TCO).The three technologies in this application operate on the RIC (5) deployed within the O-RAN compliant SMO, contributing to the intelligent automation and self-sufficiency of RAN.Development achievements1. Real-time QoE estimation and quality assurance using AIThis technology estimates QoE in real-time and automatically switches users to other base station network areas when QoE degradation is detected. It is a world-first, enabling the creation of AI models that can easily estimate QoE for individual applications by selecting feature values from statistical data (KPIs) calculated from high-speed packet analysis for 100 Gbps RAN traffic. This approach allows for flexible adaptation to various applications.By accurately understanding the QoE of each user and assigning the necessary resources, this technology ensures user convenience and satisfaction while simultaneously suppressing excessive resource allocation. This results in a 19% increase in the number of users that can be accommodated per base station (6).Figure 1: QoE estimation based on packet analysis2. Proactive base station activation/deactivation for quality maintenance and energy savingsFujitsu has developed a technology that utilizes AI to anticipate increased communication traffic and proactively activate previously dormant base stations to prevent degradation in user communication quality.Previously, energy savings were achieved by monitoring traffic in each area in real-time and putting unnecessary base stations into sleep mode. This world first technology goes a step further by detecting unusual increases in pedestrian traffic, such as those associated with local events, and predicting subsequent traffic increases at the grid level (7). This predictive technology has been proven to successfully activate base stations in advance without impacting user quality 99.8% of the time during the verification period.This enables pinpoint activation and deactivation of base stations based on traffic conditions, achieving a balance between maintaining QoE and saving energy when combined with the energy-saving application announced by Fujitsu in December 2023 (8).3. Detection of service quality degradation and area redesign for service quality maintenanceTraditional anomaly detection technologies for single cells (9) struggled to differentiate between simple load reductions and actual anomalies. Fujitsu's new technology addresses this by comparing traffic trends across surrounding cells using AI, achieving a fault detection accuracy rate of over 92%. This technology supports both supervised learning with limited fault data as well as unsupervised learning. By understanding the service impact including cell overlap, it is possible to make a judgement on which areas should be recovered first.When this anomaly detection technology identifies areas undergoing significant service impact, it utilizes a radio propagation prediction model that considers path loss (10) in the real field, in addition to the direction and load conditions of surrounding cells, to calculate the optimal tilt angle for surrounding cells. This minimizes the impact on service quality caused by faulty cells. As a result, recovery time from anomalies such as equipment failure, which previously took 24 hours, has been reduced to less than one hour, minimizing the impact on users.Figure 2: Service quality degradation detection and recoveryFuture PlansFujitsu will continue to contribute to the realization of a safer, more secure, and sustainable society by providing O-RAN products using AI-centric technologies for networks that support applications and services across industries.[1] NEDO-led project :Project name: Research and Development Project of the Enhanced Infrastructures for Post-5G Information and Communication Systems (JPNP20017) (Commissioned)Period: FY2021 - 2024Overview: Research and Development Project of the Enhanced Infrastructures for Post-5G Information and Communication Systems[2] O-RAN :O-RAN refers to a Radio Access Network (RAN) built based on open interface specifications developed by the O-RAN ALLIANCE.[3] Service Management and Orchestration (SMO) :In the O-RAN architecture, Service Management and Orchestration (SMO) defines a system that manages the operation, maintenance, and optimization of RAN, as well as its lifecycle.[4] Commercial data from mobile network operators :This refers to data collected by mobile network operators during their actual operations.

GA-ASI Completes Full-Scale Fatigue Test on MQ-9B for Second Lifetime ACN Newswire

GA-ASI Completes Full-Scale Fatigue Test on MQ-9B for Second Lifetime

SAN DIEGO, CA, Oct 15, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - On Sept. 30, 2024, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) completed a major milestone with the full-scale fatigue testing of an MQ-9B Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA). The team completed the "second lifetime" of fatigue testing, which is equivalent to 80,000 operating hours and represents an important step in validating the design of the airframe system. The testing is part of the aircraft certification to NATO standard STANAG 4671, where the aircraft will ultimately be tested through three lifetimes, thereby proving the 40,000-hour lifetime of the airframe.The full-scale fatigue test simulates the aircraft's design service through the application of repeated structural loading on the assembled airframe. The testing identifies any potential structural deficiencies ahead of fleet usage and assists in developing inspection and maintenance schedules for the airframe. The results of the test will be used as part of the documentation for certification and will form the basis for in-service inspections of structural components.MQ-9B is GA-ASI's most advanced RPA and includes the SkyGuardian® and SeaGuardian® models as well as the new Protector RG Mk1 that is currently being delivered to the United Kingdom Royal Air Force (RAF)."Full-scale fatigue testing is an integral part of validating the airframe design and a key input for the certification of the airframe prior to entering service," said Chris Dusseault, vice president of MQ-9B in Europe. "The completion of the fatigue test builds confidence for our MQ-9B customers that the SkyGuardian/SeaGuardian meets the stringent design rigor and is mature at Entry into Service."The testing is the validation of years of design and analysis efforts. This is the second of three lifetimes of testing for the airframe. Two of the lifetimes simulate the operation of an aircraft under normal conditions, and the third has intentional damage inflicted on the airframe's critical components to demonstrate its resistance to operational damage that may occur over the lifetime of the air vehicle.Testing was conducted from Jan. 31, 2024, through Sept. 30, 2024, at Wichita State University's National Institute for Aviation Research in Wichita, Kansas. The airframe tested is a production airframe purpose-built to support the test campaign.In addition to the RAF, contracts have been signed for MQ-9B with Belgium, Canada, Japan, Taiwan and the U.S. Air Force in support of the Special Operations Command. The Japan Coast Guard is currently operating the SeaGuardian for maritime operations, and the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) selected SeaGuardian for its Medium-Altitude, Long-Endurance (MALE) RPA System Trial Operation Project.About GA-ASIGeneral Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc.

US Rate Cut and China Stimulus Ignite Fosun’s Surge

HONG KONG, Oct 15, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - As we enter the fourth quarter, the market buzzes with optimism. The U.S. Federal Reserve’s interest rate reduction, aimed at bolstering liquidity, has drawn Chinese mainland capital inflow into the Hong Kong stock market. Just before China’s National Day holiday, the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) unveiled a series of pivotal measures: a reserve requirement ratio cut, an interest rate reduction, and a decrease in existing mortgage rates. Analysts and commentators widely regard these moves as unprecedented since 2008. Notably, the PBOC’s injection of at least RMB 800 billion into the stock market represents a historic milestone.On 10 October, the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) made a significant move by introducing a swap facility, initially valued at RMB500 billion. This facility aims to bolster capital market development and further invigorate both the Hong Kong and A-share markets. Just two days later, on 12 October, Lan Fo’an, Minister of Finance of the People’s Republic of China, announced a forthcoming series of targeted incremental fiscal policy measures. These measures are designed to support high-quality economic development, with a focus on stabilizing growth, expanding domestic demand, and mitigating risks. As the economy stabilizes and corporate earnings improve, the overall market is poised for a new phase of growth.Interest rate cuts poised to register gains in Hong Kong’s stock marketThe U.S. Federal Reserve has implemented a 50-basis-point interest rate cut, the first in four years. According to the Fed’s projections, the federal funds rate is expected to reach 4.4% by year-end, falling within a target range of 4.25% to 4.5%. Looking ahead, the rate is anticipated to decrease further to 3.4% by 2025 and 2.9% by 2026. Market sentiment suggests that another 50-basis-point rate cut may occur this year, with expectations of a full 100-basis-point reduction next year.As the Federal Reserve initiates rate cuts, it will ease the capital outflows and stabilize currency fluctuations in countries beyond the United States. This policy shift also grants greater flexibility to central banks worldwide, including China, enabling them to tailor their monetary strategies to foster economic expansion and bolster stock market performance. In this evolving landscape, bonds emerge as an attractive option. As deposit rates are projected to gradually decrease during the rate-cutting cycle, investors can secure appealing fixed returns over the long term. Additionally, both stocks and bonds—particularly those with robust growth potential and stable fundamentals—are poised to attract significant interest among investors in the short term.Despite several major supportive measures introduced by the central government, the stock market experienced a pullback after the National Day holiday. Nevertheless, institutions like Morgan Stanley, HSBC, and CITIC have expressed confidence in the government’s unwavering dedication to economic stimulation. These institutions anticipate the gradual introduction of additional measures, amounting to trillions, with an aim at bolstering the economy. Market sentiment suggests that these economic stimulus measures will be moderate and sustained, recognizing that a steady rise in stock market plays a crucial role in driving economic growth and encouraging consumer spending.Given the government’s steadfast commitment to boosting consumption, Fosun International (00656), a leading global innovation-driven consumer group, remains undervalued for an extended period. It is poised to emerge as a frontrunner. Notably, the significant increase in Fosun International’s share price subsequent to earlier stimulus measures underscores its considerable growth potential. Successfully building industry leaders to strengthen core industrial advantagesSince 10 September, Fosun International’s stock price has steadily risen, resulting in an impressive cumulative increase of 58.46%. Notably, this increase surpasses the Hang Seng Index’s 34.26% increase during the same period. The recent surge in Fosun International’s share price is underpinned by the company’s solid fundamentals. Guo Guangchang, Chairman of Fosun International, emphasized during the interim results presentation that despite the challenging macro environment, Fosun International remains committed to its core business-focused strategy and continued to cultivate industry-leading companies and develop excellent products in advantageous sectors. So far, this strategy has yielded positive results.Recently, Fosun International strengthened its advantages in core industries such as pharmaceuticals, tourism, consumption, and insurance by focusing on its core businesses, garnering market optimism. During the National Day holiday, the tourism sector experienced a strong start, with the tourism-related stocks seeing significant growth. During the first week of October, Fosun Tourism Group’s (FTG) share price surged nearly 40%, reflecting the market’s high recognition of the company’s asset-light strategy and investors’ confidence in FTG’s growth potential. Currently, 85% of FTG’s resorts operate under an asset-light model, making it one of the few leading tourism companies in the domestic market with both an asset-light approach and global operational capabilities.Guo Guangchang mentioned on Weibo that the stock market’s rally before the holiday gave everyone a sense of financial comfort. The wealth effect of rising stocks has truly stimulated consumer demand and driven an increase in spending. Sales of the company’s Atlantis Sanya and Shede’s baijiu saw a rapid rise during the holiday. Taking Shede as an example, as a renowned Chinese liquor company, it carried out promotions across its entire product line during the National Day holiday. Several products showed significant year-on-year increases compared to last year’s sales. Among them, the high-end strategic product in the RMB1,000 price range, Collection Shede 10-Year Edition, saw a remarkable year-on-year sales growth of 384%. Crystal Shede experienced a 224% increase in sales, while the sales of T68 Tuopai Exceptional grew 80%, and the sales of Tuopai Qiujiu rose 69%.In addition to the improving tourism and consumer businesses, Fosun’s pharmaceutical and insurance businesses have also attracted positive market attention. As a leader in pharmaceutical innovation in China, Fosun Pharma has been optimizing its asset structure and accelerating cash inflow this year. It recently announced its plans to privatize its innovative drug platform, Shanghai Henlius, and to fully acquire the core cell therapy platform, Fosun Kite, with a view to focusing on its core innovative assets. Supported by favorable national measures and strong R&D and commercialization capabilities, Fosun Pharma has established itself as a leader in China’s innovative drug market. In the first half of the year, it generated over RMB3.7 billion in revenue from innovative drugs, with steady growth expected in the second half. During the National Day holiday, Fosun Pharma’s share price performed well and continued to increase. Since September, its share price has risen nearly 25%.Recently, Fitch, one of the leading international credit rating agencies, upgraded Fidelidade’s Insurer Financial Strength (IFS) Rating to “A+” from “A” and its Long-Term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) to “A” from “A-”, maintaining stable outlooks. This represents the highest ratings Fitch has granted to a Portuguese financial company. The upgrade confirms that strategies implemented by Fidelidade have consistently strengthened its financial stability and reflects the improvement in Fosun’s global operational capabilities. Fitch highlighted Fidelidade’s sound business profile, strong capitalization, robust financial performance and profitability, and low investment portfolio risk.USD888 million syndicated loan issuance demonstrates continued recognition of Fosun’s credit quality by domestic and international banksOn 30 September, Fosun International announced the closure of a sustainability-linked syndicated loan totaling USD888 million through greenshoe, one of the largest of its kind issued by Chinese private enterprises this year. It is worth mentioning that the loan is a three-year senior unsecured working capital loan and the participating banks include several leading banks from Greater China, the Asia-Pacific region, and Europe and the Americas. This reflects the continued recognition of the Group’s credit quality by both domestic and international banks. Fosun’s sound financing channels can lay a solid foundation for the company’s steady development.Recently,several securities firms have highlighted the effectiveness of Fosun International’s core business-focused strategy, with innovation and globalization driving healthy growth, while maintaining a declining leverage ratio and sound financials. Fosun has actively optimized its asset portfolio, consistently reduced leverage and strengthened cash reserves. As of 30 June 2024, the Group’s adjusted total debt-to-capital ratio was 50.2%, maintaining a downward trend since 2020. In June 2024, international rating agency S&P fully recognized the effectiveness of Fosun’s financial strategy and affirmed its rating outlook as “stable”.According to various research reports, as Fosun’s business becomes more focused and its financial indicators improve, its future business development and profitability are becoming more predictable. Notably, globalization, innovation, and its sound asset-light operational capabilities are poised to drive a new round of growth for Fosun.It is evident that benefiting from national measures, Fosun International and its subsidiaries have entered a new phase for potential valuation enhancement. The recent pullback in share prices could be an attractive buying opportunity for investors. Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

NEC C&C Foundation Awards 2024 C&C Prize

TOKYO, Oct 15, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The NEC C&C Foundation today announced that the 2024 C&C Prize will be awarded to two groups for their contributions to the development and implementation of large-capacity, wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical submarine cable systems, and to pioneering research of the Transformer deep learning model serving as the foundation of generative AI, which is used in various fields such as global internet, web applications, data science, and artificial intelligence, that support modern society. Dr. Shigeyuki Akiba, Dr. Masatoshi Suzuki and Dr. Itsuro Morita will represent Group A and Transformer team will represent Group B. Each recipient will be recognized with a certificate of merit and a plaque. Each group will also receive a cash award of ten million yen.The C&C Prize was established in 1985 and is awarded to distinguished persons in recognition of outstanding contributions to R&D activities and pioneering work related to the integration of computers and communications technologies and the social impact of developments in these fields. This year’s two recipient groups are outlined below.The prize ceremony and acceptance speeches will be held on Wednesday, November 27 from 15:00 at the ANA InterContinental Tokyo and will be streamed live to those who apply at the Foundation’s website.2024 C&C Prize RecipientsGroup ADr. Shigeyuki AkibaFormerly KDDI R&D Laboratories Inc., President and Chief Executive OfficerDr. Masatoshi SuzukiChitose Institute of Science and Technology, Vice-President, ProfessorWaseda University Graduate School, Faculty of Science and Engineering, Visiting ProfessorDr. Itsuro MoritaWaseda University, Faculty of Science and Engineering, ProfessorCitationFor contributions to the development and implementation of large-capacity, wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical submarine cable systemsAchievementInternational communications began in the latter half of the 19th century with the laying of a submarine cable providing one telegraph line. This was followed by the appearance of coaxial cables that expanded circuit capacity and that could also be used for making telephone calls. In the 1970s and 1980s, however, satellite communications having even larger circuit capacity became mainstream. Nevertheless, on entering the 1980s, optical fiber and semiconductor lasers came into practical use, and by exploiting the low-loss and broadband properties of optical fiber, large-capacity transmission became possible while decreasing the number of submarine repeaters and decreasing the cost of communications, all of which drove the adoption of optical submarine cables. As for transpacific cables, operation of the 3rd transpacific cable (TPC-3) using optical fiber (capacity per fiber: 280 Mbps) began operation in 1989, TPC-4 (capacity per fiber: 560 Mbps) began operation in 1992, and TPC-5 (capacity per fiber: 5 Gbps), which significantly increased transmission capacity with the introduction of an optical-amplifier-repeater transmission system, began operation in 1995. However, due to a phenomenon whereby the velocity of light waves propagating through optical fiber differs according to wavelength (called wavelength dispersion) and due to the nonlinearity of optical fiber, WDM signal waveforms become distorted, which greatly hindered the implementation of large-capacity optical submarine cable systems spanning a distance of 10,000 km. Against this background, it was KDDI engineers including Dr. Shigeyuki Akiba, Dr. Masatoshi Suzuki, and Dr. Itsuro Morita that were instrumental in increasing the capacity of optical submarine cable systems and upgrading WDM-based optical submarine cable systems in particular, thereby supporting the rapidly expanding demand for Internet communications.The technologies developed by Dr. Akiba, Dr. Suzuki, and Dr. Morita became essential to WDM optical submarine cables and came to be applied to many optical submarine cables from 1999 to 2016 covering a total system length of 206,000 km. These included transpacific (PC-1: 1999, Japan-US: 2001), transatlantic (TAT-14: 2001), and Asia-region (C2C: 2001, EAC: 2002) optical submarine cables as well as 1-Tbps-class transpacific optical submarine cables (TGN-Pacific: 2003, UNITY: 2010). These technologies made a major contribution to the deployment of a global broadband infrastructure supporting communication traffic that increased rapidly due to the spread of the Internet and expanded use of smartphones.Dr. Akiba, Dr. Suzuki, and Dr. Morita pioneered the research and development of technology for expanding the capacity of long-haul optical submarine cables particularly through optical-nonlinearity control. They played a major role in applying this technology to transpacific/transatlantic large-capacity optical submarine cables, which constitute major arteries handling approximately 99% of all international communications. These achievements have had huge ripple effects in academia and industry. They are remarkable on a global basis and have made great social contributions in the C&C (Computers and Communication) field. For these outstanding achievements, it is more than fitting that Dr. Akiba, Dr. Suzuki, and Dr. Morita receive the C&C Prize.Group BTransformer TeamMember:Eight authors of the paper "Attention Is All You Need"Ashish Vaswani - CEO, Essential AINoam Shazeer - VP, Gemini Technical Co-Lead, Google DeepmindNiki Parmar - Research scientist, essential AI, GoogleJakob Uszkoreit- InceptiveLlion Owen Jones - CTO, Sakana AIAidan Gomez - CEO, CohereLukasz Kaiser - Member of Technical Staff, OpenAIIllia Polosukhin - NEAR ProtocolCitationFor pioneering research of the Transformer deep learning model serving as the foundation of generative AIAchievementArtificial intelligence (AI) technology has been evolving remarkably in recent years and has come to deeply penetrate not only industrial fields but society as well. The appearance of generative AI, in particular, has sent shock waves throughout the world as AI possessing creativity. The third-generation AI boom arrived in the 2000s. Machine learning came into practical use, deep learning made its appearance, and the performance of AI improved in many fields including image recognition, natural language processing, and speech recognition using convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), and other models. In 2017, the innovative Transformer model that revamped conventional neural networks appeared achieving a level of performance greatly exceeding existing models. It is said that the present progress in AI could not have occurred without Transformer.Following the presentation of the paper, AI studies using Transformer architecture were announced one after another. In addition to high speed and high performance, Transformer features a significant improvement in accuracy as the scale of training data increases, which has also brought about scale-related competition in AI models. In 2018, OpenAI announced the initial version of its generative pre-trained transformer (GPT), a large language model, and has been releasing updated versions ever since. As AI that can carry on conversations like a human, the number of users of ChatGPT appearing in 2022 topped 100 million in less than three months after its release. In addition to being talked about as AI that can foster innovation in a variety of fields including business, work, education, medical care, and everyday life, it also gave rise to discussions on ethical matters. Open AI also announced DALL-E, an image generation system, and Whisper, a speech recognition model. In 2018, Google announced a natural language processing model called BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers), which was followed up by ViT (Vision Transformer) specializing in image recognition. Then, in 2023, it announced Gemini (formerly known as Bard), a generative artificial intelligence chatbot. These eight individuals who presented Transformer that changed the history of AI have since left Google. Seven of them have founded their own start-ups and all but one of these companies conduct business based on Transformer technology.Transformer not only broke through the limitations of what were advanced technologies at that time like RNN and LSTM but also enabled the seamless integration of diverse types of data in multimodal AI while greatly improving the capabilities of AI systems. Although deep learning gave rise to AI-based innovation from around 2010, Transformer can be called the second great innovation in the sense of revamping existing neural networks. The present spread of generative AI using Transformer as base technology and its impact on society has been huge, and in view of these achievements, these eight members of the Transformer team are deserving recipients of the C&C Prize.For additional information, please visit The NEC C&C Foundation website at: www.candc.or.jp/en/index.html About The NEC C&C FoundationThe NEC C&C Foundation is a non-profit organization established in March 1985 to foster further growth in the electronics industry by encouraging and supporting research and development activities and pioneering work related to the integration of computers and communications technologies, that is, C&C, and ultimately to contribute to the world economy and the enrichment of human life.

To further promote the value of CTF Life in providing customers with personalised planning solutions, lifelong protection and diverse lifestyle experiences over the years, CTF Life also announced the launch of its MyWealth Savings Insurance Plan 2, which empowers customers with faster and higher projected returns, greater autonomy and greater flexibility in inheritance planning, helping customers embrace a fulfilling life.The celebration dinner was inaugurated by Brian Cheng, Executive Director and Group Co-Chief Executive Officer of NWS Holdings and Non-executive Director of CTF Life; Gilbert Ho, Executive Director and Group Co-Chief Executive Officer of NWS Holdings and Non-executive Director of CTF Life; and Man Kit Ip, Chief Executive Officer of CTF Life, along with the company’s management team. The highlight of the event was a performance by singer-songwriters Phil Lam and Cath Wong, while renowned artist Kelly Chen appeared as a guest performer.To further promote its brand awareness, CTF Life displayed its new company name on the rooftop LED billboard of COFCO Tower on Hong Kong Island and the large outdoor advertisement at the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club in Causeway Bay. To celebrate its 40th anniversary, the company also advertised on billboards on five major commercial buildings, including Far East Finance Centre, Harcourt House, Sing Ho Finance Building, Chinachem Century Tower and V Point.Man Kit Ip, Chief Executive Officer of CTF Life, said: “CTF Life is embarking on a new journey in 2024, proudly stepping into its 40th year. Over the years, we have overcome challenges and seized opportunities together with Hong Kong, achieving remarkable growth. Looking ahead, we will further strengthen our collaboration with the diverse conglomerate of the Chow Tai Fook Group, leveraging its robust financial strength and strategic investments across the globe to continue to expand our service network and optimise our products and services. Drawing on our roots in Hong Kong, we will extend our reach across China and other Asian markets, continually creating value beyond insurance for our target customers.”MyWealth Savings Insurance Plan 2 for Flexible Wealth ManagementTo celebrate its 40th anniversary and meet the financial needs of customers at different stages of life, CTF Life has launched MyWealth Savings Insurance Plan 2 (MyWealth 2), building on the success of its MyWealth Savings Insurance Plan (MyWealth 1). The new plan features the first-in-market1 “Wealth Booster Option” 2, which allows customers to change the amount components under the policy to help enhance the projected returns. The plan’s special-in-market1 “Wealth Accumulation Switching Options” 3 give customers greater autonomy to cater their investment preferences at different life stages. MyWealth 2 features “Dual Succession”, which allows unlimited changes of Insured4 and entitles the policy owner to assign up to two beneficiaries for legacy planning, ensuring the continuation of the policy and maximising the efficacy of wealth inheritance.Jarita Kwan, Chief Product Officer of CTF Life, said, “Based on the thoughtful features of MyWealth 1, CTF Life has launched MyWealth 2 to meet the financial needs of customers at different stages of life. Taking USD policy as an example, MyWealth 2 offers a shorter breakeven period, higher projected returns, and greater flexibility. It enhances withdrawal advantages, allowing customers to seize market opportunities in a timely manner, helping wealth accumulation and inheritance.”The three main advantages of MyWealth 21.Shorter breakeven periods, higher projected returns and more flexible withdrawal arrangements- With a five-year premium payment period5, customers can achieve total breakeven and guaranteed breakeven on the 7th and 13th policy anniversaries, respectively. Furthermore, the total policy value is projected to exceed 200% of the total premiums paid by the end of the 17th policy anniversary. Moreover, MyWealth 2 offers potentially higher projected returns than MyWealth 1.- Building on the strengths of MyWealth 1, MyWealth 2 offers more flexible withdrawal arrangements to meet the needs of customers at various stages of life.2.Greater autonomy- First-in-market1 “Wealth Booster Option” 2: On the 10th policy anniversary or any policy anniversary thereafter, customers can apply once to exercise the first-in-market1 “Wealth Booster Option”2 . This allows customers to change the amount components# under the policy according to the long-term target asset allocation under this option in order to enhance the projected return of their policy.- “Wealth Accumulation Switching Option” 3: The 3 special-in-market1 Switching Options, including “Advance”, “Balanced” and “Conservative”, allow customers the flexibility to choose the value ratio of their “Stable Asset Account” 6 from three preset Switching Options, starting from the 10th policy anniversary, fulfilling their financial needs at different stages of life. MyWealth 2 allows customers to apply for this option five years earlier than with MyWealth 1.- Free conversion of the policy currency: On the 3rd policy anniversary and any policy anniversary thereafter, customers can apply to exercise the “Currency Switching Option”, changing the policy currency of the basic plan to a different currency (US dollar, Hong Kong dollar, Chinese yuan, British pound sterling, Euro, Singapore dollar, Australian dollar or Canadian dollar), accommodating their global wealth management goals.- “Policy Split Option” 7: After the end of the 5th policy year or the end of the premium payment period (whichever is later), customers can split the existing policy into two by allocating a portion of the Units of the basic plan under the existing policy to a sperate “Split Policy”. The process involves splitting a policy into two, then two becomes four, and so on, allowing customers to maximise the power of asset allocation.- Premium Holiday8 of up to four years: Customers can apply for a Premium Holiday of up to four years, on or after the 2nd policy anniversary. The premium payment of their next policy anniversary will be suspended, and customers do not need to worry about the immediate termination of their policy and the loss of protection.3.Greater flexibility on inheritance- Dual Succession: After the 6th policy monthly anniversary, customers may change the Insured for unlimited times4. The coverage period will be adjusted to age 128 of the new Insured (“Changed New Insured”), allowing sufficient time for wealth accumulation of the policy. In addition, MyWealth 2 provides a “Policy Continuation Option”9, enabling the Policy Owner to assign up to two beneficiaries and specify the proportion of the Death Proceeds to be paid for each beneficiary. Upon the death of the Insured, the designated beneficiaries will become the new Insured(s), offering flexibility on inheritance.- Customised Death Benefit Settlement Option: The Policy Owner can designate a specified year or a specified age of the beneficiary to start paying the death benefit. This flexible payment allows each beneficiary to have the most appropriate arrangement, leaving a lasting legacy of love.- Premium Waiver10: Accidents or diseases are unforeseeable. MyWealth 2 offers “Waiver of Premium Benefit” and “Payor Benefit” to ensure that the accumulated wealth remains unaffected and to safeguard the financial future of the customer’s children.To help customers realise their financial plans more easily, they can enjoy a First-Year Premium Refund11 of up to 26% when they successfully apply for MyWealth 2. If all premiums payable are settled through a lump sum prepayment, the remaining balance from the prepayment will enjoy a guaranteed interest rate of up to 5% p.a. throughout the whole premium payment period12. This allows customers to start their financial plans at a lower cost.#The amount components refer to Guaranteed Cash Value, face value and cash value of accumulated Reversionary Bonuses and Terminal Bonus (if any) and accumulated value of Stable Asset Account (if any) of the basic plan.Remarks:1.“Special-in-market” and “First-in-market” are the results of comparing similar major life insurance savings products of major life insurance companies in Hong Kong as of 26 September 2024.2.Within 30 days before or after the 10th policy anniversary or every policy anniversary thereafter, customer may, subject to the prevailing rules of the Company, exercise the Wealth Booster Option to adjust the Guaranteed Cash Value, face value and cash value of accumulated Reversionary Bonuses (if any), face value and cash value of Terminal Bonus (if any), and the accumulated value of Stable Asset Account (if any) of the basic plan to other pre-set level(s) (to be determined by the Company and elaborated in an endorsement and new policy specifications) according to the new long-term target asset allocation, without providing any evidence of insurability while subject to the following conditions: (i) all premiums due and payable under the policy must be settled and any Indebtedness must be fully repaid; (ii) no Premium Holiday is in effect, no application for exercising Policy Split Option, Currency Switch Option, Wealth Accumulation Switching Option or Change of Insured Option is in progress, and no claim is in progress under the basic plan of the policy upon request exercising this Option; (iii) the request cannot be changed or withdrawn once it is submitted; and (iv) this Option can only be exercised once under the policy. After the Wealth Booster Option becomes effective, (i) the Guaranteed Cash Value, face value and cash value of Reversionary Bonus (if any), face value and cash value of Terminal Bonus (if any) and accumulated value of Stable Asset Account (if any) of the basic plan of the policy will be adjusted at the sole discretion of the Company while the Unit will remain unchanged. The future amounts of Guaranteed Cash Value, face value and cash value of Reversionary Bonus (if any), face value and cash value of Terminal Bonus (if any) will also be determined accordingly; (ii) the Wealth Accumulation Switching Option will be reset as “Advance” (i.e. the allocation and value in Stable Asset Account are both zero); (iii) all Complementary Policies (if any) and riders (if any) under the policy will remain in force after the change, subject to the then prevailing rules of the Company; (iv) the beneficiary(ies), policy owner, contingent policy owner (if designated), Initial Insured, Insured, policy currency, Policy Date, policy effective date and Policy Years of the basic plan of the policy will remain unchanged; and (v) previous instruction(s) made under the basic plan of the policy including but not limited to Death Benefit Settlement Option and Policy Continuation Option will remain unchanged unless otherwise specified. In the event that both Wealth Booster Option and Wealth Accumulation Switching Option are elected on the same policy anniversary, the Wealth Booster Option will be exercised while the elected Wealth Accumulation Switching Option will be automatically withdrawn immediately. Policy owner may elect the Wealth Accumulation Switching Option again in the next policy anniversary. As the equity-like assets in the new long-term target asset allocation are relatively higher, the Guaranteed Cash Value may be subject to reduction and the risk may increase accordingly after the Wealth Booster Option has been exercised. If customer has any questions, customer can contact financial consultant for more details or seek independent professional advice. Please refer to the Policy Provisions for more details of the Wealth Booster Option.3.Wealth Accumulation Switching Options and its portfolio ratioSwitching option(s)“Stable Asset Account” allocationAllocation of the cash value of Reversionary Bonus (if any)and cash value of Terminal Bonus (if any)Advance0%100%Balanced40%60%Conservative80%20%“Stable Asset Account Allocation” = the value of “Stable Asset Account” ÷ (cash value of Reversionary Bonus (if any) + cash value of Terminal Bonus (if any) + value of Stable Asset Account) x 100%Within 30 days before or after the 10th policy anniversary or every policy anniversary thereafter, customer may, subject to the prevailing rules of the Company, exercise the Wealth Accumulation Switching Option to adjust the Switching Option of the basic plan of the policy to achieve Stable Asset Account Allocation at desire of customer, subject to the following conditions: (i) the Switching Option applied for must be different from the default Switching Option of the Basic Plan of the policy (for the first exercise of this option) or the latest Switching Option as shown in our record (if customer has already exercised this option before); (ii) except the first time of exercise of this option, the switch date of each subsequent request must be separated by a period of not less than 1 year from the switch date of the preceding exercise of this option; and (iii) all indebtedness must be fully settled before exercising this option. Once the Wealth Accumulation Switching Option is exercised, we will correspondingly adjust the amount of any future cash values and face values of Reversionary Bonus and Terminal Bonus at a rate to be determined by us based on the change(s) of the cash values of Reversionary Bonus and Terminal Bonus. Once the Company approves the request of Wealth Accumulation Switching Option, we will determine the value of Stable Asset Account immediately following such exercise of Wealth Accumulation Switching Option (“Target Value”). The Target Value equals the product of Stable Asset Account Allocation of the elected Switching Option and the aggregate of (i) the accumulated value of Stable Asset Account (if any) immediately before such exercise (“Existing Value”); and (ii) the cash values of Reversionary Bonus and Terminal Bonus immediately before such exercise. We will then adjust the balance of Stable Asset Account from the Existing Value to the Target Value at the switch date, which in the case that the Existing Value is lower than the Target Value, the deficit will be resolved by transferring the latest cash value of Reversionary Bonus (if any) and cash value of Terminal Bonus (if any) to the Stable Asset Account; or in the case that the Existing Value is higher than the Target Value, the surplus from the Stable Asset Account will become the cash value of Reversionary Bonus and cash value of Terminal Bonus. In the event that both Wealth Booster Option and Wealth Accumulation Switching Option are elected on the same policy anniversary, the Wealth Booster Option will be exercised while the elected Wealth Accumulation Switching Option will be automatically withdrawn immediately. Policy Owner may elect the Wealth Accumulation Switching Option again in the next policy anniversary. Please refer to the Policy Provisions for more details of the Wealth Accumulation Switching Option.4.Changing the Insured is subject to the prevailing administrative rules and designated requirements. The Unit, Guaranteed Cash Value, the face value of accumulated Reversionary Bonuses (if any) and the face value of Terminal Bonus (if any), any accumulated value of Stable Asset Account, Policy Date and Policy Years will remain the same on the Insured-Change Effective Date while the Plan End Date will be adjusted to the date of policy anniversary on the 128th birthday of the Changed New Insured or following the 128th birthday of the Changed New Insured (whichever is applicable). The Changed New Insured must be aged 64 (last birthday) or below. The change of Insured must be endorsed by the Policy Owner, proposed new Insured and Assignee (if any). Both the new Insured and the current Insured must be alive and the policy is in force at the time the Insured is changed and provided with satisfactory proof of evidence of insurability for the proposed new Insured. We shall cease to provide any coverage for the initial Insured or the prior Insured on our record (when applicable and as the case may be) as from the Insured-Change Effective Date. All riders (if any) will be terminated on the Insured-Change Effective Date. Please refer to the Policy Provisions for details of Changing of Insured Option.5.This is an example of a policy denominated in USD with a 5-year premium payment period. The annual premium payment is US$100,000, resulting in a total premiums paid of US$500,000, without exercising any policy options.6.Account determined in accordance with the Wealth Accumulation Switching Option provision in which its long-term target asset allocation is 100% in fixed income type securities. The value in the Stable Asset Account will be accumulated at such interest rate as may be declared by us from time to time. Interest rates on the Stable Asset Account are not guaranteed and may even be 0% in any year.7.While the policy is in force and the Insured is still alive, after the end of the 5th Policy Year (Applicable to MyWealth Savings Insurance Plan 2 (Premier))/while the policy is in force and the Insured is still alive, after the end of the 5th Policy Year or the end of the premium payment period (whichever is later) (Applicable to MyWealth Savings Insurance Plan 2 (Prestige)), and subject to the prevailing rules of the Company, customer may exercise Policy Split Option to create a separate policy (the “Split Policy”), allocating a portion of Unit from the basic plan of the policy to the Split Policy but subject to the following conditions without providing any evidence of insurability: (i) after the policy Split Option has been exercised (the “Split”), the respective Unit of the basic plan of the policy and Split Policy must not be less than the minimum Unit amount we permit at the time of the request of customer; (ii) the insured of the Split Policy must be the same as the Insured of the basic plan of the policy; (iii) no claim is in progress under the basic plan of the policy upon request exercising this option; (iv) customer’s request for the policy Split Option cannot be changed or withdrawn once it is submitted; (v) any indebtedness under the basic plan of the policy must be fully repaid before we approve customer’s request ; and (vi) Policy Split Option can only be exercised once during a Policy Year. After the Split is approved, (i) the provisions of the Split Policy will be the same as the basic plan of the policy unless otherwise specified; (ii) the Unit, face value and cash value of Reversionary Bonus and Terminal Bonus (if any), accumulated value of Stable Asset Account (if any) will be reduced and transferred to the Split Policy according to the ratio of the Unit allocated to the basic plan of the policy and the Split Policy. We will determine the existing and future amounts of Guaranteed Cash Value, the face value and cash value of Reversionary Bonus and Terminal Bonus (if any); and future premium respectively for both the basic plan of the policy and the Split Policy according to customer’s allocation of the Units; (iii) the total premiums paid for both the basic plan of the policy and the Split Policy will be adjusted according to customer’s allocation of Units and will be used to calculate death benefit; (iv) subject to the rules of the Company, all riders (if any) under the policy will continue to be effective after the Split; (v) the beneficiary(ies), Policy Owner, Contingent Policy Owner (if designated), Initial Insured, Insured, Policy Currency, Policy Date, Policy Effective Date and Policy Years of the basic plan of this Policy will remain unchanged and the Split Policy will have the same beneficiary(ies), Policy Owner, Contingent Policy Owner (if designated), Initial Insured, Insured, Policy Currency, Policy Date, Policy Effective Date and Policy Years of the basic plan of this Policy; and (vi) previous instruction(s) made under the basic plan of the policy including but not limited to Wealth Accumulation Switching Option, Wealth Booster Option, Death Benefit Settlement Option and Policy Continuation Option will also apply to the Split Policy unless otherwise specified. The Split Policy will be effective only after its policy provisions and policy specifications are issued. Please refers to the Policy Provisions for more details of Policy Split Option.8.Premium Holiday is not applicable to the policy with a 2-year premium payment period. The length of a Premium Holiday for each application should be a multiple of 1 year until it reaches the maximum limit. Premium Holiday is only applicable to the basic plan and will be effective on the next policy anniversary, but all riders attached to the policy will be terminated at the same time. We will defer the premium end date and premium due date according to the Premium Holiday Period approved. Riders attached to the policy can be re-attached after Premium Holiday, however, the premium and approval should be subject to rider application at that time. During the Premium Holiday, customer does not need to pay premiums for the basic plan, the Units, Guaranteed Cash Value, the face value of accumulated Reversionary Bonuses (if any), accumulated value of Stable Asset Account and protection under the basic plan will remain unchanged during the period, provided that customer has not partially surrendered during the Premium Holiday. The cash value of Reversionary Bonus and Terminal Bonus (if any) are non-guaranteed. During the Premium Holiday, we will not declare any face value of non-guaranteed Reversionary Bonus. Please refer to the Policy Provisions for details of Premium Holiday.9.Prior to the death of the Insured, the Policy Owner can assign one or two beneficiary(ies) for the Policy Continuation Option and specify the proportion of the Death Proceeds to be paid to each beneficiary for the Policy Continuation Option. Upon the death of the Insured, if the Policy Owner (still alive) and the Insured are different persons, the beneficiary will become the Continued New Insured; if the Policy Owner died at the same time or the Policy Owner and the Insured is the same person, subject to the prevailing administrative rules of the Company, the beneficiary will become the new Policy Owner and Continued New Insured of the policy in order to keep the policy in force after the Insured dies. If Policy Continuation Option has been exercised, and (i) only one beneficiary is designated under the policy and such beneficiary has been elected for the Policy Continuation Option prior to the death of the Insured, after this option has been exercised, all Units, Total Premiums Paid, Guaranteed Cash Value, the face value of accumulated Reversionary Bonuses (if any), the face value of Terminal Bonus (if any) and any accumulated value of Stable Asset Account (if any), Policy Date and Policy Years will remain unchanged on the Policy Continuation Effective Date, while the respective plan end date of the basic plan of the policy will be adjusted to the date of policy anniversary on the 128th birthday of the Continued New Insured or the immediately following policy anniversary (whenever is applicable); (ii) if there is more than one beneficiary designated under the policy and one or two beneficiary(ies) has/have been elected for the Policy Continuation Option prior to the death of the Insured, one or two basic plan(s) of the policy will be created upon the death of the Insured, and regarding each newly created basic plan, the respective unit, Total Premiums Paid, Guaranteed Cash Value, the respective face value of accumulated Reversionary Bonuses (if any) and the respective face value of Terminal Bonus (if any) and any respective accumulated values of the Stable Asset Account will be adjusted according to the proportion of the Death Proceeds specified by the Policy Owner for each beneficiary selected for the Policy Continuation Option. The respective Policy Date and Policy Years will remain unchanged on the Policy Continuation Effective Date, while the respective plan end date of the basic plan of the policy will be adjusted to the date of policy anniversary on the 128th birthday of the Continued New Insured or the immediately following policy anniversary (whenever is applicable). The surrender payment may be equal to or lower than death benefit before this option has been exercised.

Penunjukan sebagai penggugat utama tidak diperlukan untuk berpartisipasi dalam pemulihan apa pun. HUBUNGI KAMI DI SINI: PERIODE KELAS: 29 Maret 2023 hingga 5 Juni 2024 TUDINGAN: Menurut pengaduan, pada 6 Desember 2023, Sprinklr mengumumkan hasil 3Q 2024 yang kuat dan kemudian mengurangi perkiraan pertumbuhannya untuk 4Q dan tahun penuh 2025. Perusahaan menyalahkannya pada “tekanan pembaruan langganan” yang disebabkan oleh tantangan makro dan “perputaran berlebihan” penjualan ke pasar Contact Center as a Service (“CCaaS”). Dalam panggilan pendapatan pada September 2023, CEO Ragy Thomas menyatakan bahwa investasi Perusahaan dalam AI dan peluang CCaaS adalah kontributor utama untuk pertumbuhan pelanggannya. Selanjutnya, pada bulan Maret beberapa perubahan dilakukan pada posisi tingkat C Perusahaan. Analis yang berkomentar tentang perkiraan yang direvisi menyebutkan kejutan pada waktu dan pergeseran dalam strategi penjualan Perusahaan. Menyusul berita ini, harga saham Sprinklr turun sebesar $5,59 per saham, atau sekitar 34% untuk ditutup pada $11,11 per saham. Pada 5 Juni 2024, Sprinklr kembali mengumumkan ekspektasi pertumbuhan yang jauh lebih rendah, kali ini memangkas proyeksi tahun fiskal 2025 sebesar tiga persen lagi, turun menjadi hanya pertumbuhan tahunan 7%, sekali lagi mengaitkan kerugian tersebut dengan penurunan retensi pelanggan dalam bisnis inti Sprinklr dan tantangan makro. Harga saham biasa Sprinklr turun drastis. Dari harga pasar penutupan $10,84 per saham pada 5 Juni 2024 harga saham Sprinklr turun menjadi $9,20 per saham pada 6 Juni 2024, penurunan lebih dari 15% dalam jangka waktu satu hari.

Insights tentang Kamala Harris dan Tren Pasar Bisnis

Insights tentang Kamala Harris dan Tren Pasar

(SeaPRwire) - Sebagai Wakil Presiden Amerika Serikat, Kamala Harris memainkan peran penting dalam membentuk lanskap ekonomi. Kebijakan dan inisiatifnya memiliki implikasi signifikan bagi berbagai industri, mulai dari teknologi hingga energi bersih. Investor dan analis pasar memantau dengan cermat pergerakannya, memahami bahwa pengaruhnya dapat menggoyahkan dinamika pasar dan sentimen investor. Salah satu area fokus utama di bawah kepemimpinan Harris adalah dorongan menuju energi terbarukan dan keberlanjutan. Ini selaras dengan tujuan yang lebih luas dari pemerintahan Biden untuk mengurangi emisi karbon dan mempromosikan alternatif energi bersih. Bagi perusahaan di sektor teknologi bersih, inisiatif semacam itu dapat berarti peningkatan dukungan pemerintah dan potensi peluang ekspansi pasar. Di sektor keuangan, sikap Harris terhadap kebijakan regulasi dan reformasi ekonomi sangat menarik. Pendekatannya terhadap peraturan keuangan dapat memengaruhi industri perbankan dan sektor terkait. Investor di perusahaan seperti JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) mengamati dengan saksama bagaimana perubahan peraturan mungkin memengaruhi profitabilitas dan strategi operasional. Pengaruh Harris juga meluas ke industri makanan dan minuman. Advokasinya untuk kesehatan dan nutrisi dapat menyebabkan perubahan yang memengaruhi perusahaan seperti Chipotle (NYSE:CMG), yang telah mulai fokus pada pilihan menu yang lebih sehat. Tren semacam itu dapat mendorong pergeseran preferensi konsumen dan memengaruhi strategi pasar untuk penyedia layanan makanan. Sektor teknologi, yang merupakan landasan ekonomi modern, mungkin melihat pergeseran yang dipengaruhi oleh kebijakan Harris tentang privasi data dan keamanan siber. Perusahaan seperti Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) berada di garis depan dalam beradaptasi dengan perubahan ini, memastikan bahwa mereka selaras dengan standar peraturan sambil mempertahankan inovasi dan daya saing. Secara keseluruhan, dampak Kamala Harris pada ekonomi bersifat multifaset, memengaruhi berbagai sektor secara berbeda. Gaya kepemimpinannya, yang ditandai dengan fokus pada kesetaraan dan keberlanjutan, beresonansi dengan spektrum industri yang luas, masing-masing beradaptasi dengan lanskap kebijakan yang berubah dengan cara mereka sendiri. Seiring dengan terus berkembangnya pasar, para pemangku kepentingan tetap waspada, mengantisipasi bagaimana keputusannya akan membentuk lingkungan ekonomi di masa depan.Artikel ini disediakan oleh penyedia konten pihak ketiga.

Duta Besar Israel untuk PBB: UNIFIL Abaikan Pembangunan Teror Hezbollah Selama 18 Tahun

(SeaPRwire) - YERUSALEM – Duta Besar Israel untuk PBB, Danny Danon, pada hari Minggu menuduh Pasukan Interim Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa di Lebanon (UNIFIL) gagal menegakkan misinya untuk mencegah gerakan teroris yang ditetapkan AS, Hizbullah, mendirikan pos militer di perbatasan dengan Israel. telah mengungkapkan sebuah pos militer sekitar 300 yard di utara perbatasan dengan negara Yahudi yang dipenuhi dengan bahan peledak dan ranjau, menurut Angkatan Pertahanan Israel (IDF)."Teroris Hizbullah menggunakan pos-pos UNIFIL sebagai tempat persembunyian dan sebagai tempat penyergapan. Keberatan PBB untuk menjaga tentara UNIFIL dalam garis api tidak dapat dipahami," kata Danon.Ia menambahkan, "Selama 18 tahun, personel UNIFIL mengabaikan basis Hizbullah di sepanjang perbatasan dan tidak melaporkan pelanggaran Resolusi 1701, yang menyatakan bahwa hanya tentara Lebanon yang diizinkan beroperasi di daerah tersebut."Danon melanjutkan bahwa "Sementara IDF bekerja melawan organisasi teroris Hizbullah, kami meminta pasukan UNIFIL untuk bergerak lima kilometer (sekitar 3,1 mil) di utara perbatasan agar tetap berada di luar garis api. Sayangnya, saat ini, permintaan ini belum diterima."AS dan kekuatan dunia lainnya meloloskan Resolusi 1701 di Dewan Keamanan Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa pada tahun 2006 untuk membantu Angkatan Bersenjata Lebanon dalam mengambil kendali militer atas wilayah tersebut, menggantikan Hizbullah, antara Sungai Litani dan perbatasan selatan di Lebanon. Tujuan dari mandat UNIFIL 2006 adalah untuk mencegah perang ketiga antara Israel dan organisasi teroris yang ditetapkan AS, Hizbullah. Israel berperang melawan Hizbullah pada tahun 1982 dan pada musim panas tahun 2006.Keputusan Hizbullah untuk bergabung dengan perang Hamas melawan Israel sehari setelah gerakan teroris Sunni Hamas menyerang Israel pada 7 Oktober terungkap kepada perencana perang Israel dan ahli kontraterorisme.Hamas membantai hampir 1.200 orang di Israel selatan pada tanggal 7 Oktober, termasuk lebih dari 30 warga Amerika. serangan pada hari Minggu membunuh empat tentara IDF dan melukai hampir 60 warga Israel.Peningkatan kekuatan militer Hizbullah yang besar di perbatasan utara Israel sejak perang 2006 telah menyebabkan pemerintah Israel meninjau kembali bahaya nyata dan sekarang dari gerakan teroris Syiah yang didukung Iran setelah invasi Hamas ke.IDF mengatakan dalam sebuah pernyataan bahwa "Selama bulan terakhir, sekitar 25 roket dan rudal telah diluncurkan ke komunitas Israel dan pasukan IDF dari kompleks teroris Hizbullah yang tertanam di dekat pos UNIFIL di Lebanon selatan, mengeksploitasi kedekatan mereka dengan pasukan PBB. Salah satu serangan mengakibatkan kematian dua tentara IDF. Hizbullah menggunakan kompleks yang terletak di atas dan di bawah tanah untuk melakukan serangan teroris terhadap Negara Israel."UNIFIL mengeluarkan pernyataan pada hari Minggu, mengumumkan, "Pagi-pagi buta, penjaga perdamaian di sebuah pos PBB di Ramyah mengamati tiga peleton tentara IDF menyeberangi Garis Biru ke Lebanon. Sekitar pukul 4:30 pagi, saat penjaga perdamaian berada di tempat penampungan, dua tank Merkava IDF menghancurkan gerbang utama posisi tersebut dan memasuki posisi tersebut secara paksa. Mereka meminta beberapa kali agar pangkalan tersebut mematikan lampu. Tank-tank tersebut meninggalkan sekitar 45 menit kemudian setelah UNIFIL memprotes melalui mekanisme penghubung kami, dengan mengatakan bahwa kehadiran IDF membahayakan penjaga perdamaian."UNIFIL menambahkan "penjaga perdamaian di posisi yang sama melaporkan penembakan beberapa kali tembakan 100 meter di utara, yang mengeluarkan asap. Meskipun mengenakan masker pelindung, lima belas penjaga perdamaian menderita efek, termasuk iritasi kulit dan reaksi gastrointestinal, setelah asap memasuki kamp. Para penjaga perdamaian menerima perawatan."Danon mengatakan "Rincian insiden yang melibatkan tentara UNIFIL di Lebanon selatan saat ini sedang diselidiki. Dalam beberapa hari mendatang, kami akan terus mempromosikan dialog tentang masalah ini dengan pihak-pihak terkait di PBB."Saat Digital mendekati juru bicara UNIFIL Andrea Tenenti untuk memberikan komentar tentang kritik Danon, Tenenti tidak segera menanggapi.Selama akhir pekan, Israel menyerukan UNIFIL untuk menarik pasukannya dari Lebanon selatan karena mereka digunakan sebagai "perisai manusia" untuk memajukan mesin perang Hizbullah yang didukung rezim Iran.Berbicara dalam bahasa Ibrani, Netanyahu mengatakan kepada Sekretaris Jenderal PBB António Guterres, "Sudah saatnya bagi Anda untuk menarik UNIFIL dari kubu Hizbullah dan dari daerah pertempuran."Stéphane Dujarric, juru bicara sekretaris jenderal, mengatakan "Dengan latar belakang permusuhan yang sedang berlangsung di Lebanon selatan dan terlepas dari serangan yang telah terjadi di posisi Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa, yang melukai sejumlah penjaga perdamaian dalam beberapa hari terakhir, penjaga perdamaian UNIFIL tetap berada di semua posisi dan bendera PBB terus berkibar."Dujarric menambahkan bahwa "Sekretaris Jenderal menegaskan kembali bahwa keselamatan dan keamanan personel dan properti PBB harus dijamin dan bahwa kekebalan tempat PBB harus dihormati setiap saat tanpa kualifikasi. Dalam sebuah insiden yang sangat mengkhawatirkan yang terjadi hari ini, pintu masuk sebuah pos PBB sengaja dilanggar oleh kendaraan lapis baja IDF."Ketua PBB menyerukan "semua pihak, termasuk IDF, untuk menahan diri dari segala tindakan yang membahayakan penjaga perdamaian kami. Sekretaris Jenderal mengambil kesempatan ini untuk menegaskan kembali seruan untuk penghentian permusuhan dan pelaksanaan penuh Resolusi Dewan Keamanan PBB 1701."Guterres tidak membahas bahwa poros terowongan Hizbullah yang ditemukan oleh IDF terletak hanya 300 kaki dari pos pengamatan penjaga perdamaian UNIFIL, serta keberadaan instalasi militer Hizbullah lainnya di zona yang diwajibkan oleh UNSC 1701 untuk bebas dari bahan peledak dan persenjataan Hizbullah. Terowongan Hizbullah yang rumit ditemukan di sebelah barat desa Lebanon Labbouneh.Dewan Keamanan Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa sekali lagi akan membahas situasi di Lebanon pada hari Senin.Artikel ini disediakan oleh penyedia konten pihak ketiga.

China mengepung Taiwan dalam latihan militer melawan kemerdekaan Berita

China mengepung Taiwan dalam latihan militer melawan kemerdekaan

(SeaPRwire) - meluncurkan jumlah pesawat militer yang memecahkan rekor pada hari Senin dalam latihan di sekitar Taiwan yang bertujuan untuk memperingatkan negara itu agar tidak merdeka, kata para pejabat. Kementerian Pertahanan Nasional Taiwan mengatakan 125 pesawat militer China adalah jumlah terbanyak yang mereka hitung dalam satu hari. Kementerian menambahkan bahwa 90 pesawat, termasuk pesawat tempur, helikopter, dan drone, terlihat di zona identifikasi pertahanan udara Taiwan. Kementerian Pertahanan China mengatakan latihan tersebut merupakan tanggapan terhadap penolakan untuk menerima tuntutan Beijing agar Taiwan yang diperintah sendiri mengakui dirinya sebagai bagian dari Republik Rakyat China di bawah pemerintahan Partai Komunis. Operasi militer itu terjadi empat hari setelah Taiwan merayakan pendirian pemerintahannya pada Hari Nasional, dengan Presiden Taiwan Lai Ching-te mengatakan dalam sebuah pidato bahwa China tidak berhak untuk mewakili Taiwan dan menyatakan komitmennya untuk "menentang aneksasi atau pelanggaran." "Amerika Serikat sangat prihatin dengan latihan militer gabungan Tentara Pembebasan Rakyat di Selat Taiwan dan di sekitar Taiwan," kata Juru Bicara Matthew Miller dalam sebuah pernyataan. "Tanggapan RRC dengan provokasi militer terhadap pidato rutin tahunan tidak beralasan dan berisiko meningkat. "Kami menyerukan kepada RRC untuk bertindak dengan menahan diri dan untuk menghindari tindakan lebih lanjut yang dapat merusak perdamaian dan stabilitas di seluruh Selat Taiwan dan di wilayah yang lebih luas, yang sangat penting bagi perdamaian dan kemakmuran regional dan merupakan masalah keprihatinan internasional," tambahnya. "Kami terus memantau aktivitas RRC dan berkoordinasi dengan sekutu dan mitra terkait kekhawatiran bersama kami." Juru bicara Kementerian Luar Negeri China Mao Ning mengecam kemerdekaan Taiwan selama pengarahan pada hari Jumat lalu, dengan mengatakan, "Saya ingin menekankan bahwa 'kemerdekaan Taiwan' tidak kompatibel dengan perdamaian Selat Taiwan seperti api dengan air." "Upaya otoritas Lai Ching-te untuk menolak reunifikasi melalui penggunaan kekuatan adalah sia-sia. Tidak peduli berapa banyak senjata yang mereka beli, mereka tidak dapat menghentikan tren historis menuju reunifikasi China," katanya juga. Sebuah peta yang ditayangkan di siaran negara China CCTV menunjukkan enam blok besar yang mengelilingi Taiwan yang menunjukkan di mana latihan militer sedang berlangsung, bersama dengan lingkaran yang ditarik di sekitar pulau-pulau terpencil Taiwan. Kementerian Pertahanan China belum mengatakan berapa lama latihan itu akan berlangsung. China mengerahkan kapal induk Liaoning untuk latihan tersebut, dan CCTV menunjukkan jet tempur J-15 lepas landas dari dek kapal induk, meskipun lokasi pasti kapal tersebut tidak jelas. Juru bicara Komando Teater Timur Tentara Pembebasan Rakyat China, Kapten Senior Li Xi mengatakan angkatan laut, angkatan udara dan korps rudal semuanya dimobilisasi untuk latihan tersebut, yang merupakan operasi terintegrasi, menurut Associated Press. Kementerian Pertahanan Taiwan mengatakan telah mengerahkan kapal perang ke tempat-tempat tertentu di lautan untuk melakukan pengawasan dan bersiap. Ia juga mengerahkan kelompok rudal dan radar mobile di darat untuk melacak kapal-kapal di laut. "Militer kita pasti akan menangani ancaman dari China dengan tepat," kata Joseph Wu, sekretaris jenderal dewan keamanan Taiwan, pada hari Senin di sebuah forum di Taipei, menurut AP. "Mengancam negara lain dengan kekerasan melanggar semangat dasar Piagam Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa untuk menyelesaikan sengketa melalui cara-cara damai."

Interpol Meluncurkan Kampanye untuk Membantu Memecahkan 46 Kasus Dingin Perempuan yang Jasadnya Ditemukan di Eropa Berita

Interpol Meluncurkan Kampanye untuk Membantu Memecahkan 46 Kasus Dingin Perempuan yang Jasadnya Ditemukan di Eropa

(SeaPRwire) - Organisasi Polisi Kriminal Internasional (Interpol) meluncurkan kampanye baru minggu lalu untuk meminta bantuan publik dalam memecahkan 46 kasus dingin perempuan yang jenazahnya ditemukan antara tahun 1982 dan 2021.Tujuan Interpol melalui kampanye "Identifikasi saya" adalah untuk menyelesaikan 46 kasus dingin di mana para korban, semuanya perempuan, ditemukan tewas di enam negara Eropa, termasuk Prancis, Spanyol, Italia, Belgia, Belanda, dan Jerman."Meskipun penyelidikan polisi yang ekstensif, identitas perempuan-perempuan ini tidak dapat dipastikan, dan bukti menunjukkan bahwa beberapa dari mereka mungkin berasal dari negara lain," kata Interpol dalam siaran pers. "Siapa mereka, dari mana mereka berasal, dan mengapa mereka berada di negara-negara ini tidak diketahui."Interpol mengeluarkan Black Notice untuk setiap korban, dan meskipun peringatan tersebut hanya untuk polisi, Interpol merilis ekstrak dari pemberitahuan tersebut untuk ditinjau publik.Bersama dengan ekstrak tersebut, terdapat detail tentang setiap kasus, termasuk gambar rekonstruksi wajah, dengan harapan bahwa seseorang mungkin dapat mengenalinya dan membantu menentukan keadaan yang menyebabkan kematian mereka.Salah satu kasus, misalnya, disebut "Perempuan di dalam Sumur," yang berakar pada 6 Agustus 1991.Pada hari itu, seorang perempuan yang diperkirakan berusia antara 30 dan 55 tahun ditemukan di sumur air hujan di Holsbeek, Belgia.Dia mengenakan kardigan rajutan cokelat keemasan, kaos bergaris vertikal hitam, gambar dua peselancar dan tiga pohon palem dengan teks bertuliskan, "sun-surf-sea," dan celana pendek kotak-kotak gelap.Polisi juga mengatakan bahwa tubuh perempuan itu mungkin telah berada di dalam sumur selama dua tahun sebelum ditemukan.Kasus lain yang disebut, "Jenazah di Rawa," dibuka pada 14 Oktober 2001, ketika jenazah seorang perempuan berusia antara 20 dan 30 tahun ditemukan di rawa di daerah Worringen, Cologne, Jerman.Polisi mengatakan bahwa perempuan itu diperkirakan memiliki kulit gelap dan memiliki rambut hitam dengan rambut palsu yang terjalin.Jenazahnya ditemukan oleh seorang pemungut jamur, dan diduga telah berada di sana selama setidaknya empat bulan sebelum penemuannya, meskipun polisi menambahkan bahwa jenazah itu mungkin telah berada di sana selama empat tahun.Para ahli merekonstruksi wajah perempuan itu pada April 2002, untuk mendapatkan gambaran tentang bagaimana perempuan itu mungkin terlihat pada saat kematiannya.Untuk setiap kasus, polisi memiliki tautan yang dapat diklik oleh orang-orang untuk menghubungi Interpol dan agen polisi dari negara tertentu tempat jenazah ditemukan."Kami membutuhkan bantuan Anda untuk menyelesaikan kasus-kasus dingin ini," kata Sekretaris Jenderal Interpol Jürgen Stock dalam sebuah posting di X. "Tujuan kami adalah untuk mengidentifikasi perempuan yang meninggal ini dan memberikan jawaban kepada keluarga."Artikel ini disediakan oleh penyedia konten pihak ketiga.

Standard Chartered GBA Business Confidence Survey shows softer business performance in Q3 ACN Newswire

Standard Chartered GBA Business Confidence Survey shows softer business performance in Q3

HONG KONG, Oct 14, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Standard Chartered and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) today released the Standard Chartered GBA Business Confidence Index (GBAI) for the third quarter of 2024. The “expectations” index rose for a second straight quarter to 55.2 from 54.8 in Q2, reflecting sentiment continued to improve modestly among firms. The “current performance” index for business activity fell to 50.6 from 54.1 in Q2, indicating a further weakening of economic momentum after a challenging first half of 2024.Hong Kong leads bullsAt city level, Hong Kong and Dongguan registered improvements in both current performance and expectations sub-indices. Hong Kong posted the highest “expectations” index, rising to 58.8 from 49.7 in Q2, the steepest rise among the 11 Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area cities, while “current performance” slightly increased by 0.2 points to 47.3. The “expectations” index of the other five cities in the survey were all above the 50 neutral mark.In line with the soft set of China macro data in July and August, the sub-indices for industry categories trended down in general, with the manufacturing sector suffering the most. In terms of “expectations”, while GBA manufacturers’ confidence may have been affected by a potential surge in US tariffs against China-origin products in the event of a Trump win in the November US presidential election, the score remained stable at 54.1, well above the neutral mark.Kelvin Lau, Senior Economist, Greater China, Standard Chartered, said: “The survey findings are in line with the economic data released in August, pointing to a slower industrial production, retail sales and fixed asset investment growth on subdued domestic demand and adverse weather. Nevertheless, it is noteworthy that the optimism associated with China’s stronger-than-expected stimulus package introduced in late-September, together with the new phase of Fed’s rate cut cycle, has yet to reflect in the third quarter survey findings. We believe the business sentiment among GBA companies can be boosted in the near term, driven by the positive sentiment and jump in equity market turnover following the announcement of the stimulus measures.”60% GBA companies express concerns over risk factors – rates, economic growth and trade barriers topped the listWhile the rate-cutting cycle can serve as a tailwind to business, the market outlook remains challenging. 60% of respondents saw external and internal risks posing a substantial risk to their overall business in the next 12 months. “Higher global inflation and interest rates” (47%), “renewed China growth slowdown” (46%) and “trade tariffs, sanctions against China-origin products” (42%) were the top three concerns. The Fed’s recent jumbo rate cut in September, signalling potential relief to GBA companies, likely offset lingering trade and geopolitical risks in the run-up to the US presidential election.During the survey period, the discussion on tariff hikes against products of Chinese origin arose again. In terms of trade barriers, 47.2% of respondents said they were negatively impacted by tariff hikes versus 44.2% by sanctions and 34.6% by non-tariff barriers.In the event of further rise in trade disputes between China and the US/EU, of the 37% survey respondents involved in external trade and anticipating a change to their external trade in the next few months, 88% said they would front-load their second-half export orders, while 81% said they would front-load their imports to minimise the potential impacts to their businesses. Irina Fan, HKTDC Director of Research, said: “GBA manufacturers may have concerns about a potential surge in US tariffs against China-origin products after the November US election. However, some 50-60% of the respondents do not anticipate any potential negative impacts on their business.”About the GBAIThe GBAI is the first forward-looking quarterly survey in the market that looks at the business sentiment and synergistic effects in cities and industries across the GBA. It is compiled based on a survey of more than 1,000 companies in the GBA covering the manufacturing and trading, retail and wholesale, financial services, professional services and innovation and technology sectors. The index enables investors and businesses to better understand the current business climate, gauge future performance prospects and formulate their market strategies for the GBA.Related materialsStandard Chartered GBA Business Confidence Index Report: https://www.sc.com/hk/gba/gba-index-report/HKTDC Research: https://research.hktdc.com/en/article/MTgyMTM1MTk5NwPhotos download: https://bit.ly/3NrhLXcKelvin Lau, Senior Economist, Greater China, Standard Chartered, and Irina Fan, Director of Research, HKTDC, announced the latest GBA Business Confidence Index (GBAI) today (14 October).

Korea Utara mengirimkan peringatan kepada Korea Selatan, mengatakan pasukan siap menyerang jika lebih banyak drone muncul Berita

Korea Utara mengirimkan peringatan kepada Korea Selatan, mengatakan pasukan siap menyerang jika lebih banyak drone muncul

(SeaPRwire) - mengumumkan pada hari Minggu bahwa unit-unit militer siap untuk melancarkan serangan terhadap Korea Selatan, setelah tetangganya di selatan menerbangkan drone di atas Pyongyang dan menjatuhkan selebaran.The Associated Press melaporkan bahwa Korea Selatan telah menolak untuk mengkonfirmasi apakah mereka mengirim drone ke Korea Utara tetapi memperingatkan akan menghukum Korea Utara jika rakyat Korea Selatan terancam.Menurut Korea Utara, Korea Selatan menerbangkan drone ke negaranya tiga kali dan menjatuhkan selebaran propaganda di atas ibu kota Pyongyang. Pejabat Korea Utara memperingatkan jika itu terjadi lagi, mereka akan menanggapi dengan kekuatan.Media pemerintah melaporkan pada hari Minggu bahwa Kementerian Pertahanan Korea Utara mengatakan militernya mengeluarkan perintah operasi awal kepada artileri dan unit lainnya di dekat perbatasan Korea Selatan untuk bersiap "menembak."Seorang juru bicara kementerian yang tidak disebutkan namanya mengatakan militer Korea Utara memerintahkan unit-unit untuk sepenuhnya bersiap untuk situasi di mana mereka mungkin perlu melancarkan serangan langsung pada target musuh yang tidak ditentukan, jika Korea Selatan mengirim drone melintasi perbatasan lagi, menurut pernyataan tersebut.Juru bicara itu juga mengatakan "ketegangan militer yang menegangkan dan sulit terjadi di Semenanjung Korea" karena penerbangan drone selatan.Dalam pernyataan lain pada hari Minggu, juru bicara itu mengatakan Korea Selatan "mungkin berubah menjadi abu" setelah serangan kuat Korea Utara.Korea Utara tidak asing dengan mengeluarkan retorika yang berapi-api dan pedas seperti itu ketika ketegangan antara Korea Utara dan Amerika Serikat meningkat.Hubungan antara Korea Utara dan Korea Selatan tegang sejak diplomasi yang dipimpin Amerika Serikat untuk mengakhiri program nuklir Korea Utara hancur pada tahun 2019.Sejak itu, Korea Utara telah mendorong untuk memperluas persenjataan nuklirnya dan telah berulang kali mengancam untuk menyerang Korea Selatan dan Amerika Serikat dengan senjata nuklir.Namun, para ahli mengatakan tidak mungkin Korea Utara akan melancarkan serangan penuh karena pasukan Amerika Serikat dan Korea Selatan melampaui militer utara.Minggu lalu, Korea Utara mengatakan akan memblokir permanen perbatasannya dengan Korea Selatan dan membangun struktur pertahanan garis depan untuk mengatasi "histeria konfrontasi" oleh pasukan Korea Selatan dan Amerika Serikat.Bulan lalu, Korea Utara meluncurkan lebih dari 160 balon yang membawa sampah melintasi perbatasan selatan.Di dalam balon tersebut terdapat kertas, botol plastik, dan sampah rumah tangga lainnya, yang ditemukan di beberapa bagian Provinsi Gyeonggi, yang mengelilingi ibu kota Seoul.Awal September, Kepala Staf Gabungan (JCS) Korea Selatan mengatakan telah mendeteksi sekitar 420 balon yang diduga diluncurkan oleh Korea Utara ke Korea Selatan.Bundel sampah adalah taktik balasan terbaru antara kedua Korea, yang telah terlibat dalam taktik ala Perang Dingin sejak awal tahun ini, dengan Korea Utara mengirimkan balon berisi sampah kertas, sisa kain, puntung rokok, dan bahkan pupuk kandang ke Selatan. Korea Utara mengatakan balon tersebut merupakan pembalasan atas para aktivis sipil Korea Selatan yang menerbangkan selebaran propaganda anti-Korea Utara melintasi perbatasan.Sampah yang dibawa oleh setidaknya satu balon Korea Utara jatuh di kompleks kepresidenan Korea Selatan pada bulan Juli, menimbulkan kekhawatiran tentang kerentanan fasilitas penting Korea Selatan. Para pejabat mengatakan balon tersebut tidak mengandung bahan berbahaya dan tidak ada yang terluka.Korea Selatan telah membalas dengan pengeras suara garis depan untuk menyiarkan pesan propaganda dan lagu K-pop ke Utara.
