HOHHOT,CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 12 December 2025 – On November 25, the calibration aircraft landed smoothly, marking the successful completion of the on-site verification test flight at Hohhot Shengle International Airport. This important milestone indicates that Inner Mongolia’s first 4F-class airport has moved from the construction phase to the final stages of preparation for its official opening. Shengle International Airport As Inner Mongolia’s first 4F-class airport—the highest standard in civil aviation airfields—this airport is fully equipped to accommodate the world’s most advanced commercial aircraft. Moreover, it functions as a regional aviation hub, a primary alternate landing site within the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei airport cluster, a Class I international aviation port, and a key transportation node in China’s national “Belt and Road Initiative”. Its essential role is to connect domestic and international destinations while linking eastern and western regions. “Where heaven and earth meet, all things communicate.” Thanks to its unique geographic location, Hohhot has long served as a vital transportation center. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, Shengle, the capital city, controlled the critical passage between the Central Plains, the grasslands, and the desert, fostering thriving commerce and travel. In the Tang Dynasty, Shengle also served as a major commercial route extending north from Baidouchuan to present-day Erenhot, Manzhouli, and further into Russia and Mongolia. During the Qing Dynasty, Guisui City was a key node on the Grassland Silk Road. From the late 17th to early 20th century, the 13,000-kilometer Tea Road began at Wuyi Mountain in Fujian Province in the south, passed through Hohhot in Inner Mongolia, continued north to Mongolia, and ultimately reached Russia. In modern times, Hohhot has emerged as a crucial transportation hub under the “Belt and Road Initiative,” linking the mainland of China with Russia, Mongolia, and the heart of Europe. For centuries, merchants from home and abroad have gathered here, fostering vibrant trade and rich cultural exchanges. The echoes of history continue to resonate. This ancient route, once bustling with camel caravans and travelers, is now being revitalized with new significance for the modern era. Shengle International Airport is dedicated to becoming a key hub on the new “Air Silk Road,” serving as a vital gateway across North China and connecting Eurasia. It aims to make a unique and meaningful contribution to this important legacy. From above, the airport’s terminal is designed to resemble a finely crafted saddle, reflecting the dynamic heritage of the horse-riding cultures in the region. The main facade of the terminal features a 600-meter-long eave inspired by the flowing khata scarf, offering a warm and inviting welcome to visitors from around the globe. The terminal’s skylights are thoughtfully crafted using spindle columns, cables, and inflatable membranes, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of a traditional Mongolian yurt. Looking upward, travelers can enjoy views of the expansive grassland sky and clouds, celebrating Inner Mongolia’s rich cultural heritage and sharing the distinctive beauty of grassland culture with the world. Shengle Airport’s appeal extends beyond its striking design to its thoughtfully planned interior layout. More than just a transportation hub, it serves as a vital platform connecting the world. As a key node on the “Belt and Road” land corridor and the northern gateway of the China-Mongolia-Russia economic corridor, Hohhot is utilizing this state-of-the-art airport to accelerate its integration into the global network. In the near term, Shengle International Airport aims to achieve an annual passenger capacity of 28 million, handle 320,000 tons of cargo and mail, and manage 244,000 aircraft movements by 2030. Looking further ahead to 2050, these figures are expected to grow to 65 million passengers, 800,000 tons of cargo and mail, and 511,000 aircraft movements. To enhance the travel experience for international passengers, Shengle International Airport has proactively upgraded its communication infrastructure. Previously, the construction of civil communication facilities at Hohhot Shengle International Airport was successfully completed. To meet the demands of international travelers and business passengers, the regional communication system has implemented a “seamless access” plan in advance. All three major telecom operators share a jointly built network, ensuring passengers enjoy “uninterrupted” connectivity from arrival through boarding and departure. Looking forward, Shengle Airport will continue to expand its international routes with exceptional performance. By 2025, Hohhot Airport will establish strong partnerships with Xi’an and Qingdao airports. Leveraging Qingdao Airport’s connections to Japan and South Korea, and Xi’an Airport’s access to Northwest China, Central Asia, and Southeast Asia, new transfer services will be launched connecting Hohhot via Xi’an or Qingdao to other domestic and international destinations. Additionally, capitalizing on Hohhot’s strategic location facing Russia and Mongolia and linking Northeast and Northwest China, transfer services will be introduced from Xi’an or Qingdao through Hohhot to various regional cities as well as Russia and Mongolia. These initiatives will create aerial bridges fostering economic exchange and cultural communication across regions. As the morning sun brightens the northern frontier, Shengle International Airport stands out like a shining gem above the grasslands. This young and dynamic airport is not only Hohhot’s new gateway but also a crucial hub connecting China to the world. From here, Inner Mongolia’s high-quality development will gain fresh momentum, and China’s northern frontier will embrace broader opportunities for global engagement.

SHENZHEN, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 12 December 2025 – SF International is aligning its strategy with the evolution of global supply chains, steadily building a cross-border service portfolio that links China with the rest of Asia and extends to markets worldwide. The company is responding to industrial-chain relocation and to growing demand for both product exports and the offshoring of production capacity, while developing logistics infrastructure built for certainty, resilience and rapid response. After rolling out services such as “SF Smartlink Vietnam”, “SF India Sky Prime” and “Ylink” in November, SF International has now broadened its offering with a new bulky-goods logistics service portfolio, advancing an integrated large-item supply-chain network overseas and strengthening its global logistics footprint. Looking ahead to 2026, the company plans to place a sharper focus on China – Asia corridors and on building a more modular, matrix-style product portfolio to better support customers as they expand globally. On 9 December, SF International, together with four of its Asia-Pacific branches — SF Thailand, SF Singapore, SF Malaysia and SF Indonesia — unveiled its Asia-Pacific bulky-goods logistics service portfolio at a launch event in Bangkok, Thailand. Attendees at the event included leading Chinese companies such as Midea, TCL, Hisense and Changan, alongside representatives from major local firms, including King Power Group. At the event, SF Thailand signed memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Midea and TCL. SF launches Asia-Pacific bulky-goods logistics service to bolster Southeast Asia cross-border logistics The company unveiled a new “one-stop solution” for bulky-goods shipments, offering end-to-end coverage across four Southeast Asian markets — Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. Leveraging its proprietary and mature regional network, the new service portfolio is designed to support Chinese brands and manufacturers expanding overseas. The rollout marks a further step in SF’s push to strengthen its Asia-Pacific logistics capabilities and is expected to provide fresh momentum for both Chinese companies going abroad and local Southeast Asian businesses. Tackling bottlenecks in bulky-goods logistics As Chinese producers of everything from home appliances and furniture to industrial equipment expand abroad, they encounter persistent bottlenecks in moving bulky goods across borders. Challenges range from transport and last-mile delivery to customs clearance. SF’s new offerings respond to these pressures with two core services: bulky-goods express delivery and full-truckload logistics. These are complemented by ten value-added services, including delivery and installation, extended home delivery, bulky-goods warehouse delivery, warehousing for bulky goods, and product exchange. Together, they form an end-to-end service framework covering the key nodes of the large-item supply chain. The launch marks SF’s establishment of an integrated bulky-goods supply chain overseas, aimed at helping clients across sectors improve the efficiency and quality of their offshore operations. Integrated solution for home appliances and furniture SF has introduced a fully integrated Asia-Pacific supply-chain solution for bulky home appliances and furniture logistics. Designed to meet the needs of this segment, the solution replaces fragmented logistics links with an end-to-end system spanning air, sea, and land transport, warehousing, bulky-goods distribution, delivery and installation, and reverse logistics. The integration sharply reduces supply-chain complexity. Tasks that once required coordination with five or six providers can now be routed entirely through SF. Standardization underpins reliability; customization widens use cases SF’s one-stop bulky-goods solution combines standardization and operational stability with flexibility. Clear delivery commitments, a unified pricing structure, controlled service boundaries, and flexible product configurations provide clients with predictable and transparent service. Leveraging SF’s proprietary delivery network, the solution secures stable last-mile performance, supported by end-to-end shipment visibility and door-to-door service. On safety, SF uses specialized packaging materials and handling equipment, with an integrated process covering protective packing, careful loading and unloading, home delivery, standardized installation, and after-sales support to safeguard large items in transit. On capability, the bulky-goods logistics service portfolio spans six supply-chain links: warehousing for bulky goods, heavy-parcel express, freight transport, warehouse delivery for oversized goods, integrated delivery and installation, and returns management. On scenario coverage, the suite supports e-commerce, traditional retail, store delivery, and factory-to-warehouse flows. It also provides sector-specific solutions for furniture, home appliances, industrial machinery, and fitness equipment, meeting diverse bulky-goods logistics needs across verticals. Covering core Southeast Asian markets with localized capabilities SF’s Asia-Pacific bulky-goods logistics service portfolio spans four key Southeast Asian markets: Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia. Leveraging its proprietary delivery network, SF has built a stable, controllable integrated service system linking local and cross-border operations. Its innovative product, YLink, further integrates logistics, capital flow, and information flow to create a unified, end-to-end supply chain capability. YLink addresses cross-border challenges by extending services into trade execution. For upstream operations, SF can handle sourcing of raw materials and, leveraging its cross-border supply-chain capabilities, deliver them directly to overseas VMI warehouses. The company also provides JIT delivery of materials to factories, ensuring stable supply and reliable fulfillment. For downstream operations, it offers consignment sales and consolidated warehouse-and-distribution support, delivering both B2B store fulfillment and B2C delivery-and-installation services. This minimizes inventory and capital tied up while ensuring reliable delivery, helping companies accelerate cash flow. Localized operations in Thailand and Singapore In Thailand, SF leverages abundant vehicle resources and agile delivery network to provide nationwide bulky-goods pickup and delivery coverage. Services include large-item warehousing (forwarding warehouses) and integrated delivery-and-installation. Installation capabilities cover standard furniture and home appliances, as well as specialized items such as electric vehicles and charging stations. In Singapore, bulky-goods logistics have been fully upgraded. Nearly ten proprietary outlets, over 300 in-house vehicles, and a professional customs team underpin a high-timeliness fulfillment system. This includes warehouse-to-store night delivery for next-morning availability, scheduled time-slot deliveries, and air freight capacity for timely cross-border shipments. SF has also introduced “white-glove service” in Singapore. A dedicated two-person team provides exclusive personnel and vehicles, careful in-home placement, on-site installation, and post-service cleanup, setting a new standard for premium bulky-goods logistics. Scaling capabilities across Asia-Pacific SF has deployed nearly 40 overseas warehouses across the Asia-Pacific region, totaling around 300,000 square meters. The network includes general, e-commerce, VMI, bonded, and temperature-controlled warehouses. In Southeast Asia, SF’s localized service network has

Mrs. Regina Leung Tong Ching-yi, Chairman of the Fringe Club Board of Directors, expressed deep gratitude to all participants and artists, and stated: ” ‘Breaking Boundaries‘ is not just a slogan: audiences will witness innovative fusions of classical and electronic music, interactive performances blending dance with Nanyin (Southern Chinese traditional music), cross-disciplinary shows combining sand art with live music, and much more. This is the very essence of this year’s theme — liberating art from the constraints of form, allowing creativity to grow freely, and enabling every audience to discover their own emotional resonance through entirely new experiences. We aspire for Hong Kong to be not only an international financial centre, but also a vital hub for artistic and cultural exchange in Asia, providing a radiant stage where the next generation of artists can truly shine.” Fringe Festival 2026 programmes are now open for booking.

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 12 December 2025 – Watchskins Singapore has announced the launch of Watchskins Ultra, a premium watch protection film designed specifically for luxury timepieces including Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Richard Mille, Tudor, and 10+ other prestigious brands. Crafted with premium 3M TPU film featuring advanced self-healing properties, Watchskins Ultra provides virtually invisible protection against everyday wear and minor scratches while preserving the original appearance of luxury watches. Many luxury watch owners have long avoided protective films due to concerns about glue residue, imperfect fitting, or sharp edges that affect wearing comfort. These long-standing hesitations have discouraged collectors from using traditional protection solutions. Watchskins Ultra was created precisely to overcome these issues, offering a virtually invisible, unobtrusive film with smooth edges that preserves the watch’s original appearance and comfort. A New Standard for Collectors Watchskins Ultra protection film offers ultra-clear transparency and leaves no glue residue upon removal. Each piece is custom measured and laser-cut in Singapore using precision U.S.-engineered laser technology, delivering micron-level accuracy with smooth, edge-safe cuts. This ensures a seamless fit across different watch models, offering 99% edge-to-edge protection on covered components while maintaining full access to bezels and bracelet links without altering the watch’s finish. The film’s self-healing properties allow minor surface marks to fade with heat over time, helping owners maintain a pristine appearance whether the watch is worn daily or kept for long-term collection value. Every installation is performed by trained specialists in a controlled environment, ensuring precise application that follows the exact contours of each watch model. Customers also receive complimentary watch care services (valued at $100) with each installation. These include professional steam cleaning, precision timekeeping checks, and water resistance testing, reflecting Watchskins Singapore’s commitment to craftsmanship and attention to detail. Each installation is backed by a comprehensive 1-year warranty, providing complete peace of mind for watch owners. A representative from Watchskins Singapore stated: “With the Watchskins Ultra watch protection film, we aim to provide a practical solution for watch owners looking to protect their timepieces without compromising on design. Our goal is to offer an unobtrusive protective film that preserves both the appearance and integrity of every timepiece. The response from collectors has validated our approach—protection doesn’t have to mean compromise.” Availability Watchskins Ultra is available exclusively at the Watchskins Singapore service centre located at Far East Plaza. Installation appointments can be booked through the official website at watchskins.sg or via WhatsApp at 9675 5333. Same-day installation and collection services are available with multiple trained installers.
