“Eternal City” Pompeii Exhibition Opens in Hunan, Marking New Sino-Italian Cultural Exchange

CHANGSHA, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 11 July 2025 – On July 8, the exhibition “Encountering Pompeii: The Eternal City” opened at the Hunan Museum’s Special Exhibition Hall 1. It is jointly organized by the Hunan Museum, Naples National Archaeological Museum, Archaeological Museum of the Campi Flegrei in the Castle of Baia, and the Collections Department of Naples University “Federico II,” with Beijing Shengxuan Cultural Group Co., Ltd. as co-organizer. Duan Xiaoming, Director of the Hunan Museum, noted in his opening speech that this year marks the 55th anniversary of China-Italy diplomatic ties. This exhibition continues the museum’s collaboration with Italian cultural institutions, following the “The Trans-Cultural Exchanges and Interactions Between Italy and China From the 13th Century to 16th Century” (2017), “Ancient Egyptian Finds Exhibition” (2018), and “She Walks in Beauty: Women of the Han Dynasty and Roman Empire” (2024), showcasing close cooperation in heritage preservation and exchange. The exhibition highlights the ancient Roman city of Pompeii, buried and preserved by Mount Vesuvius’ eruption in 79 CE. Once a thriving Mediterranean trade hub, Pompeii was first settled by the Oscans in the 8th century BCE, later allied with Greek city-states, and became a flourishing Roman metropolis. UNESCO calls it “the only archaeological site offering a complete picture of an ancient Roman city.” More than 130 original Italian artifacts—many debuting in Hunan or even China—are on display, including frescoes, sculptures, bronzes, and gold. Paired with recreated scenes, they vividly portray Pompeii’s grandeur, daily life, and artistic culture. The exhibition comprises four sections: “Lost Civilization: A City Frozen in Time”; “The Best Place on Earth: Pompeii and Its Surroundings”; “Stories of the Ancient City: Lives of Pompeiians”; and “The Tragedy of the Volcano: Eternal Awe and Love.” A concluding immersive space with multi-channel projections and 3D effects lets visitors experience Pompeii and reflect on life’s fragility amid disaster. On opening day, the museum also hosted a live dubbing performance and an academic lecture by Italian experts. The exhibition runs through November 2.

SIBUR develops new polyethylene grade for blown films

MOSCOW, RUSSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 11 July 2025 – SIBUR, the largest producer of polymers and synthetic rubbers in Russia, has developed a new grade of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) designed specifically to produce blown films, which are in high demand in the Turkish market. In the blown film manufacturing process, melted polyethylene is inflated with air into a bubble, then cooled and rolled into a reel. This technology allows the production of films with excellent durability and elasticity as well as films of varying thicknesses. Blown film is widely used in food packaging and agriculture. The new grade of LLDPE marks another step in strengthening SIBUR’s position in the global flexible packaging market. The product has successfully passed approval tests with key film producers in Turkey and is ready for large-scale supply. Russian processing partners will also be able to supply finished films made from SIBUR’s feedstock to the Turkish market. The LLDPE grade developed by SIBUR contains slip and antiblock additives, which reduce friction and prevent the blocking of film layers in rolls. This enables high-speed packaging operations and ensures the stability of film rolls during storage and transportation. The new grade with additives eliminates the need for customers to purchase extra modifiers and masterbatches, making the technological process for polymer processors and film manufacturers much simpler and reducing their overall costs.

HKCSS Fosters Cross-Sector Collaboration and Adoption of Gerontechnology to Formulate Hong Kong Dementia Care Action Plan

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 11 July 2025 – The Hong Kong Council of Social Service (HKCSS) is actively promoting support services for dementia and is leveraging gerontechnology to provide comprehensive support for patients and their caregivers. Through cross-sector collaboration, continuous innovation and extensive consultation, HKCSS is taking forwards the formulation of the “Hong Kong Dementia Care Action Plan” (Action Plan) and launches a series of exchange and consultation programmes in the field of social service, health and innovative technologies to encourage society to rethink the direction of dementia service development in response to the challenges posed by an ageing population. The Action Plan is expected to be officially published in 2026. HKCSS organised an international symposium titled “Charting the Future: A Strategic Action Plan for Dementia Care”, facilitating close exchanges and discussions on various aspects related to dementia in March this year. HKCSS rolls out the formulation of the Action Plan in two phases. The formulation of the Action Plan by HKCSS comprises two stages. In the first stage, the focus is on developing a framework and gathering stakeholder opinion through various channels. In July, a “Dementia and Care Planning Seminar” is held to discuss the current care plan arrangements and limitations for people with dementia, as well as the future development of carer support services. Between September and November in 2025, several events focusing on agenda discussion will take place in conjunction with “World Alzheimer’s Day” in September and the “Gerontech and Innovation Expo cum Summit” in November. Public consultation will be conducted in the second stage to finalise the Action Plan. According to the World Health Organization, there were 57 million people worldwide living with dementia in 2021. To address the challenges dementia poses to public health and society, countries worldwide are formulating or updating dementia strategies. Ms Grace Chan, Chief Executive of HKCSS, states that “There are approximately over 100,000 dementia patients in Hong Kong. HKCSS hopes to connect international and local stakeholders through various programmes to share experiences and strengthen cross-regional and cross-sector collaboration in promoting the development of dementia care and social services, effectively supporting patients and their caregivers in an ageing society.” This year, in March, HKCSS organised an international symposium titled “Charting the Future: A Strategic Action Plan for Dementia Care”, facilitating close exchanges and discussions with local and overseas stakeholders on various aspects related to dementia. A number of international and local experts shared insights covering research, prevention, living support, policy and social service practices. Mr Greg Shaw, Former Director of International and Corporate Relations at the International Federation on Ageing (IFA), highlighted the importance of “people-oriented” integrated care model through technology, to develop a dementia-inclusive society in the long run. Promoting the idea that “prevention is better than cure” is equally important. Research from the Chinese University of Hong Kong’s Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery found a positive relationship between maintaining hearing and preventing dementia, advising the elderly to wear appropriate hearing aids to timely improve and slow cognitive decline. Additionally, local organisations, in collaboration with the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, are implementing the “Caring Communities for Dementia Campaign”, using IoT technology to quickly locate missing persons. This initiative allows individuals with dementia to participate actively and safely in the community, alleviating caregivers’ concerns about the risk of wandering. Another focus of the symposium was the discussion of the Action Plan. Ms Katie Wong, Chief Officer (Elderly Service) of HKCSS, and Ms Karrie Chan, Deputy Director (Elderly, Rehabilitation & Community) of Hong Kong Christian Service, along with the members of Specialized Committee on Elderly Service, shared the current status of dementia development in Hong Kong. They proposed that prevention, early diagnosis, and early intervention are key strategies for the future development of dementia services, and engaged with participants from social services, academia and institutions to discuss local conditions and suggested directions. Several technology companies demonstrated gerontechnology solutions applicable to dementia care on-site. In addition, during the “S+ Summit cum Expo” in May, a thematic discussion on “Co-Creating Dementia-Friendly Communities: A Journey of Inclusion and Collaboration” explored multi-faceted cooperation through social service, business, and urban planning to enhance facilities and services for the elderly in preventing dementia and making life more convenient for dementia patients and their caregivers. HKCSS aims to harness the social power through cross-sector collaboration and innovation to promote the formulation of dementia care strategies, jointly building a dementia-friendly environment and sustainable community.

Here, creativity knows no limits. This collaboration is more than just the opening of an academy; it is the laying of long-term foundations for building the ‘human capital’ of the future.” Mr. Michael Young, President and CEO of New York Film Academy, said about his institute’s partnership with Cloud 11, which will host his institute’s first training and workshop in Southeast Asia, “The New York Film Academy is committed to making film education accessible to students around the world.

Local MSMEs Achieved 30X Growth in Sales During the Shopee 7.7 Mid Year Sale

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 11 July 2025 – During the 7.7 Mid Year Sale, local MSMEs on Shopee experienced 30X growth in sales compared to a normal day, driven by the platform’s robust content ecosystem and its commitment towards Lagi Murah deals and Lagi Cepat shipment. Shopee 7.7 Mid Year Sale This campaign underscores Shopee’s dedication to empowering local MSMEs by providing them with the tools and programmes necessary to thrive in the digital marketplace. MSME Reach Expanded Through Affiliate-Backed Recommendations By leveraging Shopee’s 650,000-strong affiliate network, sellers experienced the power of community-driven marketing, through affiliates actively recommending their favourite local finds to their followers. During 7.7, sellers saw up to 160% increase in affiliate-generated sales showcasing how the local affiliate community helps MSMEs expand their reach and drive sustained sales growth. MSMEs Utilised Shopee Live and Shopee Video to Boost Sales Local MSMEs that used Shopee Live and Shopee Video during 7.7 saw their sales skyrocket by 200%, showing how real-time interactions with prospective buyers are influential in driving purchase decisions. “Our orders more than doubled on 7.7 compared to a normal day. What really made the difference was going on Shopee Live for almost 8 hours where we were able to connect with more buyers and close sales faster,” said KM Fashion, a women’s fashion brand based in Perak. Russell Taylors, a local home appliance brand, also saw how affiliates recommending their products on Shopee Video helped their sales grow during 7.7. “Shopee’s Affiliate Programme and Shopee Video were a game changer for us. The affiliates helped to push our product bundles and our Shopee Videos were quick conversion drivers, it’s like having a salesperson that works 24/7! Together, these channels contributed nearly 40% of the store’s sales during the 7.7 campaign. The Lagi Murah tag drew so many eyes to my store as well! My product views doubled in one day and our checkouts performed 50% better than the previous campaign,” said the brand representative. As buyers seek more interactive formats to make purchase decisions, these tools demonstrate its effectiveness in converting intent into revenue for local MSMEs. Lagi Murah, Lagi Cepat Make Buyers and Sellers Happy Shopee’s ongoing commitment to buyer satisfaction, from guaranteed lowest prices to fast delivery, translated into higher purchase intent for all local MSMEs. Malaysians who shopped during 7.7 saved more than RM60 million across all product categories, especially on daily essentials such as personal care products, groceries, and childcare-related items. “The sales growth we observed during Shopee’s 7.7 campaign has convinced us to be even more serious in growing with Shopee. Together with strategic vouchers and livestream sessions, we were able to drive sales conversion. The Lagi Murah tag helped us to reduce customer decision making time since they don’t need to compare prices across other platforms. We truly felt that this was a key driver in our sales growth during the 7.7 campaign,” said Bath Garden, a local body care brand. Carsolution, a local automotive seller echoes this sentiment, “Thanks to the Lagi Murah tag, the 7.7 campaign was not just massive for us, it was meaningful because it helped us to attract the more serious buyers instead of clicks. We achieved our highest daily checkout rate ever and sold out both our bestsellers and lesser-known gems!” With 80% of those orders being shipped out within 1 day of check-out, Shopee is ensuring long-term buyer trust in order to drive local seller success. “Our mission has always been to build a platform that supports seller growth. Campaigns like the 7.7 Mid Year Sale show that when we strengthen our ecosystem, from marketing tools, creator content, to buyer satisfaction, our sellers thrive. At the same time, buyers benefit from more personalised affiliate recommendations, better deals, and a more engaging shopping experience,” said Tan Ming Kit, Head of Marketing at Shopee Malaysia.

XTransfer: Pioneering AI-Driven Transformation in B2B Foreign Trade Payment

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 11 July 2025 – In the era of global economic integration, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) face both unprecedented challenges and exciting new opportunities. XTransfer, the World’s Leading & China’s No.1 B2B Cross-Border Trade Payment Platform, is empowering over 700,000 SMEs across more than 200 countries with innovative financial solutions. The company’s relentless pursuit of technological advancement, especially in artificial intelligence (AI), is redefining the standards of risk control and digital transformation in the foreign trade finance industry. XTransfer supports global SMEs with secure and seamless cross-border payments. TradePilot: The First Large Language Model in Foreign Trade Finance At the core of XTransfer’s innovation is TradePilot, the first large language model (LLM) tailored for the global foreign trade financial sector. Starting development in 2023, TradePilot was designed to leverage cutting-edge AI technologies, such as multimodal information extraction, long-context processing, and AI agents, to address the unique complexities of B2B international trade. TradePilot’s journey has been marked by rapid iteration and real-world validation. In June 2024, two versions of TradePilot outperformed both domestic and international LLMs, including GPT-4, in a professional knowledge assessment, winning first place. This achievement highlights not only XTransfer’s technical prowess but also the rising maturity of China’s AI ecosystem in mission-critical financial applications. Enhancing Risk Control and Anti-Money Laundering One of the most significant applications of AI at XTransfer is in risk management, particularly anti-money laundering (AML) controls. B2B cross-border trade introduces data challenges, transactions are often fragmented, unstandardized, and partially offline, making it hard to monitor and assess risks. Traditional banks, reliant on manual AML checks, have struggled to efficiently serve SMEs due to high costs and operational inefficiencies. XTransfer’s solution is a data-driven, automated AML risk control infrastructure, powered by TradePilot. By transforming unstructured business and transaction data into structured, analyzable formats, TradePilot enables precise risk prediction and real-time anomaly detection. For example, the system can flag suspicious export patterns that deviate from a country’s industrial profile or automatically match buyer and seller information across various documents, such as proforma invoices and logistics papers, enhancing both compliance and operational efficiency. The results speak for themselves: what once required laborious manual intervention can now be handled at scale, allowing banks and financial institutions to serve SMEs with the same rigour and security as multinational corporations. This boosts financial inclusion and levels the playing field for smaller businesses in global trade. Intelligent Customer Service and Digital Empowerment Beyond risk control, AI infuses every side of XTransfer’s product ecosystem. The company’s intelligent customer relationship management (CRM) system leverages TradePilot for enhanced semantic understanding, emotion recognition, and effective response generation. Since integrating TradePilot, XTransfer’s AI-driven customer service resolution rate has soared from 13% to over 84%, dramatically improving user satisfaction and operational scale. XTransfer’s CRM also features AI-powered tools such as multilingual letter writing, instant website building, and the pioneering “AI Employee” service. These innovations help SMEs with limited technical or language resources to efficiently reach global buyers, manage operations, and establish an online presence, in as little as 30 seconds. Over 10,000 foreign trade businesses have already benefited from these services, lowering the barriers to digital adoption and accelerating their international growth. Commitment to Data Security and Future Outlook XTransfer’s technological architecture is built on robust, distributed computing principles, ensuring high performance and reliability. The company adheres strictly to international and regional laws regarding data privacy, employing encryption, access controls, and audit mechanisms to safeguard user data. Looking forward, XTransfer aims further to promote the adoption of its AI-powered TradePilot model, thereby accelerating the digital transformation of the B2B foreign trade finance sector. Weitong Li, Senior Technology Director of XTransfer, emphasises that the successful deployment of TradePilot is both a testament to XTransfer’s innovation and a catalyst for smarter, safer, and more accessible global trade. As foreign trade becomes increasingly intelligent and data-driven, XTransfer stands at the forefront, empowering SMEs to explore broader markets and seize new opportunities in the evolving global economy.

Positioning Vietnam – Promoting the National Image in the New Era

HANOI, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 11 July 2025 – A seminar titled “Positioning Vietnam – Promoting the National Image in the New Era” was co-hosted in Hanoi on July 9 by Vietnam News and Law newspaper under the Vietnam News Agency and the Department of Grassroots Information and External Information under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. Mrs. Vu Viet Trang, General Director of the Vietnam News Agency, delivered the keynote speech at the seminar.

The strategy’s overall goal is to enhance positive information about Vietnam both domestically and internationally, improving global awareness of a stable, developing, innovative and culturally rich country. It seeks to elevate the country’s standing on the international stage. According to the draft strategy, which is expected to be submitted to the Prime Minister later this month, by 2030 all provinces and centrally governed cities will implement international communication campaigns aligned with a unified national direction. The plan also targets the organisation of at least 10 major international media campaigns and aims to increase the volume of positive international media coverage and digital content about Vietnam to at least 80 per cent. The strategy further aspires for Vietnam to rank among the top 40 countries with the most favourable media presence globally, attract 35 million international visitors by 2030, and have the cultural industry contribute 7 per cent of GDP by 2030 and 8 per cent by 2035. To achieve these goals, the strategy proposes a diversified communication approach, combining traditional and digital platforms. It also recommends integrating media campaigns into diplomatic, cultural and sports events; partnering with international media outlets, film crews and foreign correspondents. Supporting measures include enhancing local capacity, building unique local brands, conducting international surveys and strengthening the role of external communication platforms. Developing a modern, cohesive and competitive communication strategy is considered a critical step in amplifying Vietnam’s values in a rapidly changing world. As Vietnam’s global credibility and governance capacity continue to grow, there is a rising need to inspire national development aspirations and promote the image of a strong and resilient nation. Vu Viet Trang, Vietnam News Agency General Director said: “Positioning the national image is not only the task of the media but an essential part of overall development strategy. To successfully implement the strategy, we need a strong communication ecosystem where mainstream journalism plays a leading role, offering credible data as a foundation for other stakeholders — from KOLs and digital creators to businesses and overseas Vietnamese — to tell a consistent and inspiring story of Vietnam.” Mr. Pham Anh Tuan, Director of the Department of Grassroots Information and External Information, delivered a presentation on the draft strategy. Photo: VNSL Pham Anh Tuan, director of the Department of Grassroots Information and External Information, said “The competition to shape national image is growing increasingly fierce, yet Vietnam’s image still falls short of reflecting our achievements. That’s why the Government has assigned the task of developing a long-term, strategic plan to secure our rightful position on the global map.” Nguyen Minh, Viet Nam News and Law’s editor-in-chief, said “We are fully aware of our role in promoting the image of a modern, dynamic and deeply integrated Vietnam that remains rooted in its cultural identity. We continue to innovate our content, expand our digital and multimedia platforms and strengthen cooperation with domestic and international partners to bring authentic and compelling Vietnamese stories to the world.” The seminar gathered representatives from ministries, news agencies, communication experts, businesses and international organisations. Participants exchanged insights and contributed valuable input on the strategy’s content. Key discussion topics included national image positioning, storytelling methods to promote Vietnam globally, international best practices in nation branding and the role of digital communication and independent storytellers in a multi-platform era.
