Huawei Unveils Upgraded Stellar AI Campus Network to Usher in the New Era of AI Campuses

SHANGHAI, Sept. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — During HUAWEI CONNECT 2026, Huawei unveiled its upgraded Stellar AI Campus Network Solution that stands out with innovations in superfast wireless, full-scope security, and network autonomy, helping enterprises build a superfast, secure AI campus.

“Driven by AI, today’s campuses are evolving into a super agent that can perceive, think, self-heal, and dynamically adapt,” said Leon Wang. “Leveraging our ICT prowess, we, together with global customers and partners, are building ubiquitous AI campuses to bring ‘technology for people’ to life and accelerate digital and intelligent transformation across all industries.”

“The AI era has placed higher demands for campus networks, especially bandwidth capacity, security defense, and O&M efficiency,” said Shawn Zhao. “To address this, Huawei’s upgraded Stellar AI Campus Network Solution offers innovations across superfast wireless, full-scope security, and network autonomy, helping maximize productivity.”

Huawei’s solution delivers enhanced capabilities across three pillars.

• Superfast wireless: As multi-agent collaboration gains momentum at enterprise workspaces, Huawei Wi-Fi 7 Advanced introduced intelligent Coordinated Scheduling and Spatial Reuse (iCSSR) technology that delivers twice the networking performance of industry peers. To grow the Wi-Fi+X ecosystem, Huawei also debuted the eCampusLink platform and HiSpaceX appliance, supporting full-element digital campus operations with unified access, spatial modeling, and rapid orchestration.
• Full-scope security: Huawei’s solution offers asset, connectivity, spatial, and privacy security to enable full-scope security across the digital and physical worlds. Particularly, Huawei’s upgraded Asset Security Solution achieves second-level blocking of terminal behavior anomalies and precise network-security collaborative tracing, ensuring that all assets are fully visible, trustworthy, and controllable.
• Network autonomy: With the rise of AI, enterprises urgently need to boost their network O&M efficiency. Huawei meets this with its iFlow and distributed real-time simulation technologies to enable pre-event proactive detection, in-event rapid localization, and post-event service verification, thereby delivering real-time visibility into agent experience. Furthermore, Huawei has made upgrades across data, models, and tools to deliver 24/7 AI-powered operations, achieving a 95% troubleshooting accuracy rate and a 90% reduction in MTTR.

Looking ahead, Huawei will continue to innovate and work closely with customers and partners worldwide to build a superfast, secure AI campus for the agentic world.

Olight Unveils ArkTac Series and New ArkPro Ultra Colorway at O-Fan Day 2026

HOUSTON, Sept. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Olight, a global innovator in portable lighting, unveiled the ArkTac Series at O-Fan Day 2026, bringing ArkPro’s signature flat-body, multi-source design to tactical lighting for the first time. The company also introduced Amber Orange for ArkPro Ultra, alongside several new portable-lighting products. Launching during National Preparedness Month, the new releases reflect Olight’s focus on helping users stay prepared, from fast response to everyday readiness.

“The best products start with understanding how people really live, and our O-Fans have always been an important part of that journey,” said Mavis Xiao, general manager at Olight. “As we come together for our fifth in-person O-Fan Day, we’re grateful for a community that continues to share its ideas and feedback with us. That connection keeps us focused on real-world needs, from the new ArkTac Series to Amber Orange ArkPro Ultra.”

ArkTac Series: All-In-One Tactical Versatility

Inspired by ArkPro’s flat-body, multi-function design, the new ArkTac Series brings that approach to handheld tactical lighting. Available in two models, ArkTac and ArkTac Ultra, the series combines an easy-to-carry flat profile with immediate tactical controls and multiple light sources.

Designed for fast, intuitive control, a two-stage tail switch provides immediate access to Turbo Spotlight and Pure Flood without cycling through modes. The new CommandPoint shortcut activates Strobe with one touch by default and can be customized for other frequently used functions. Both models also feature UV and Red Light, while ArkTac Ultra adds a Green Laser. The series delivers up to 1,800 lumens and reaches up to 215 meters.

ArkTac Ultra also debuts OAL², the next generation of Olight’s proprietary aluminum alloy. It delivers 7.3% greater hardness and 11.5% higher yield strength than first-generation OAL.

ArkPro Ultra Amber Orange: Crafted to Stand Out

As the premium model in the ArkPro Series, ArkPro Ultra debuts in Amber Orange, its most vibrant color yet. Warm and energetic, the new colorway is designed to stand out, bringing the high visibility associated with outdoor and emergency equipment to everyday carry.

Rich metallic orange contrasts with sleek black accents, while polished edges catch the light to reveal shifting highlights and a refined sense of depth. This layered finish is achieved through a dual-anodizing process — a first for Olight — that also offers up to twice the scratch resistance of Olight’s standard anodized finishes.

Beyond its new look, ArkPro Ultra combines premium design with everyday-carry versatility, keeping preparedness close at hand. Its signature flat design brings together four light sources — Pure Flood, Spotlight, UV and Green Laser — with seven lighting configurations. Featuring Olight’s self-developed EIP 1 LED, ArkPro Ultra delivers up to 1,700 lumens in a compact EDC flashlight.

Also unveiled at O-Fan Day were the PL X GL, Oclip 2 Series and Marauder 3.

Pricing and Availability

ArkPro Ultra Amber Orange, PL X GL and Marauder 3 will be available September 21 for $129.99, $149.99 and $369.99, respectively. The Oclip 2 Series will also be available September 21, starting at $49.99. The ArkTac Series, starting at $119.99, is expected later this year. Pricing and availability may vary by market.

TPB wraps up PHITEX 2026 with over PHP 500 million in sales leads, up more than 20% from 2025

PASAY CITY, Philippines, Sept. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Philippine Travel Exchange (PHITEX) 2026, the country’s premier government-organized travel trade event, concluded on September 9 at Conrad Manila, with PHP 594,712,138.50 in sales leads. The figure, while still partial, is 20.12 percent higher than the PHP 495.09 million recorded in 2025.

Organized by the Tourism Promotions Board (TPB) Philippines, PHITEX 2026 gathered 102 Philippine sellers, including destination management companies, tour operators, and travel agencies, and 76 foreign buyers from 24 countries.

Eleven (11) countries represented the emerging markets, including Denmark, France, Indonesia, Italy, Macao SAR, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Thailand, Türkiye, the United Arab Emirates, and Vietnam.

The remaining buyers represented TPB’s 13 key markets: Australia, Canada, Mainland China, Germany, United Kingdom, Hong Kong SAR, India, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, and the United States of America.

TPB Chief Operating Officer Maria Margarita Montemayor Nograles expressed optimism over the sales leads generated and the business connections forged during the event.

“We are delighted with the PHP 506.15 million in sales leads generated through PHITEX 2026,” said Nograles. “While the tourism industry continues to navigate a challenging environment, shaped by global uncertainties and evolving market demands, PHITEX underscores the importance of strengthening industry partnerships and responding to the needs of travelers. We hope these connections will continue to grow into collaborations that bring more visitors to our communities and create sustainable opportunities for our local tourism stakeholders.”

Meanwhile, foreign buyers experienced the country’s rich heritage, scenic coastlines, and diverse culinary offerings through the post-event familiarization tours of PHITEX 2026. The tours included visits to the heritage sites of Ilocos Norte and Ilocos Sur, the natural attractions of Palawan, the culinary and cultural offerings of Cebu and Bohol, and the lush landscapes and nature-based experiences of Davao.

“We just don’t promote the product or the destination, but the experience,” said one of the buyers, Jenny Rose Ryall, director of Global Guides Australia. “We tell them stories, our personal stories, our personal experiences, and with that, it’s a lot more convincing because they can see the emotion, and the excitement. It’s always–what they [our clients] say to us–it’s always the people that they love about the Philippines.”

PHITEX 2026 was made possible through its silver sponsors: Cebu Pacific, Destileria Limtuaco & Co., Inc., Philippine Airlines; bronze sponsors: Duty Free Philippines, Kaulayaw, The Travel Club, and 2GO Travel; and community partners: Mactan Cebu International Airport, and Palaweño Brewery.

GAC Cambodia KD Plant Starts Production, Setting a New Benchmark for Localized Manufacturing

Cambodia, Sept. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On September 17, the inauguration ceremony of GAC Cambodia KD Plant was grandly held in Kampong Chhnang Province. Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet and Chinese Ambassador to Cambodia Wang Wenbin attended the ceremony, while Jiang Xiuyun, Deputy General Manager of GAC Group, and Wang Shunsheng, Deputy General Manager of GAC International and President of the Southeast Asia Regional Center, together with the leadership of TH Group, GAC’s strategic partner in Cambodia, witnessed the official launch of the THAM assembly plant for GAC vehicles. This marks a new stage in GAC’s development in Cambodia, transitioning from complete vehicle exports to local manufacturing, and stands as yet another achievement of China-Cambodia economic and trade cooperation.

Prime Minister Hun Manet was present in person to witness this important moment. He noted that the official commencement of the GAC KD Plant is a significant achievement of the Royal Government of Cambodia’s industrial transformation, helping Cambodia upgrade from labor-intensive industries to capital-, advanced-technology- and high-skill-driven sectors, spurring local industrial development, raising the added value of the national economy, and cultivating new sources of economic growth.

From complete vehicle imports to local assembly, GAC has steadily built its presence in Cambodia. The project was fully launched in 2024, and through close collaboration among all parties, the plant completed all preparatory and construction work and officially entered production. Under this local assembly project, TH Group is responsible for plant investment, construction and vehicle assembly, while GAC supplies complete knocked-down (CKD) kits, technical standards and full-chain technical support. With a designed annual capacity of around 10,000 units.

Strong market performance further validates the results of GAC’s deep cultivation. TRUMPCHI has enjoyed explosive growth in Cambodia since 2024, with an average annual compound growth rate of over 300% over the past three years, and ranked first among Chinese automotive brands in Cambodia in 2025, with continuously expanding brand influence.

The production launch of GAC Cambodia KD Plant marks a brand-new starting point for GAC’s deep cultivation in Cambodia. Over the past seven years, from channel development to product rollout, from brand establishment to manufacturing upgrading, GAC has been sharing development opportunities with the Cambodian people through tangible capacity, employment and technology.

Qatar Foundation – Wilton Park Dialogue Calls for Global Action to Drive Social Development Through Sport

Three-day UK dialogue emphasizes female empowerment, inclusion, and systemic reform across the Global South.

WEST SUSSEX, England, Sept. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — International leaders spanning government, policy, development, and sport convened at Wilton Park for a three-day dialogue hosted with Qatar Foundation (QF), calling for a global coalition to turn sport’s potential to support social development into practical action.

Held under the theme ‘Sport for Development in the Global South: Advancing Female Empowerment, Inclusion, and Accessibility’, the event focused on removing structural barriers to sporting opportunity for women and girls, building on UN Resolution 59/17, initiated by Qatar with Indonesia and Morocco and co-sponsored by 71 nations. Wilton Park and QF will now jointly develop an actionable roadmap for action in policy, coaching, and infrastructure.

Speaking at the dialogue, Her Excellency Sheikha Hind bint Hamad Al Thani, Vice Chairperson of Qatar Foundation, urged action that goes beyond basic parity, saying: “The barriers girls face are fundamentally different. “Our approach is to close that gap in practice, not just in principle: involving women in the design of facilities, providing coaching tailored to women’s needs, and building the scientific research base that, too often, doesn’t exist for women’s and girls’ sport.”

His Excellency Dr. Khalilur Rahman, President-Elect of the 81st Session of the UN General Assembly, told the dialogue that sport “changes how a girl is seen by her family and community, and how she sees herself”, saying: “A girl who plays on a team learns to lead, to fail and try again in public — and that confidence follows her into the classroom, workplace, and civic life.”

Participants in the dialogue included Olympism365, Special Olympics, Laureus Sport for Good, NBA Africa, FIVB, and Olympic athletes Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and Ibtihaj Muhammad.

QF continues to advance inclusive sport, with over 70,000 female participants participating in tailored sporting activities at the Education City Stadium in the past two years, and its Circle In initiative supporting sport-for-development projects in 10 countries.

About Qatar Foundation

Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development (QF) is a non-profit organization driving education, research, and community development. Founded in 1995, QF operates an interconnected ecosystem at Education City in Doha, Qatar, empowering individuals and driving positive social change. Visit www.qf.org.qa.

ARTPRICE NEWS: A WORLD-BOOK BECOMES A MIRROR FOR ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

OpenAI/Astra, Perplexity, DeepSeek, Google Gemini and xAI/Grok are confronted with the same work: a meta-reading experiment turns literary criticism into a comparative laboratory for artificial intelligence.

PARIS, Sept. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — What if, in order to understand artificial intelligences, we gave them exactly the same book to read?

That is the experiment now accompanying “Dialogue Between a Thinker and AI”.

After hundreds of hours of dialogue, human thought, archives, questions, and contradictions gave rise to a book whose pen was entrusted to artificial intelligence.

https://www.dialoguebetweenathinkerandai.com/en/

Today, the book also exists materially: its French and English editions are in print. But the experiment does not end with the book. It now turns back toward the artificial intelligences themselves.

We didn’t ask AI to judge the book. We asked AIs to read it — and then to read each other.

The complete corpus is submitted to several major systems:

OpenAI / Astra, Perplexity, DeepSeek, Google Gemini, and xAI / Grok.

They all receive the same object. But do they produce the same reading?

https://www.dialoguebetweenathinkerandai.com/en/meta-reading/

The objective is not to organize a competition between models.

It is precisely the opposite.

The purpose is to observe their convergences, divergences, and blind spots.

Which concepts do they spontaneously identify? Which theses do they consider central? Which passages do they connect? Where do their interpretations diverge?

And above all: what happens when each is subsequently given access to the analyses produced by the others? At that moment, a meta-reading emerges.

AI no longer merely reads the book.

It reads another AI reading the book.

A third system can then analyze that confrontation. Commentary becomes corpus. The corpus becomes new material for analysis.

For centuries, we have used critics to better understand books.

This experiment also proposes the reverse movement:

using a book to better understand those who read it.

The same work thus becomes a kind of cognitive mirror placed before several artificial-intelligence architectures. This mirror does not ask: “Which AI is right?”

What Gemini thought of the analysis produced by Grok.

DeepSeek’s response to the critique by OpenAI Astra.

It asks: “Why don’t they see exactly the same thing?”

The distinction is essential. Because their divergences themselves become information.

This experiment does not delegate human judgment.

It demands more of it. The human remains the one who compares, doubts, contextualizes, and decides.

The machine produces readings. The human also observes the gaps between those readings.

Dialogue Between a Thinker and AI thus becomes simultaneously a book, a corpus, and an open experiment into the plurality of artificial intelligences.

The book was meant to be read by humans.

It now also becomes an object through which humans can watch AIs read.

NOTES TO EDITORS

The meta-reading experiment makes it possible to examine, among other things:

• what Google Gemini observes in the analysis produced by xAI/Grok;
• DeepSeek’s response to the critique produced by OpenAI/Astra;
• the convergences, divergences and blind spots revealed by confronting the different readings.

“We didn’t ask AI to judge the book. We asked AIs to read it — and then to read one another.“

Jiahui Health Highlights China’s Growing Role in Global Medical Tourism at WTO Public Forum 2026

GENEVA, Sept. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — China is seeing growing momentum in inbound medical tourism, driven by expanding access to innovative therapies, visa facilitation and the development of internationally oriented healthcare services, Dr. John K. Hsiang, Chairman of Jiahui Health Executive Committee, said at the World Trade Organization (WTO) Public Forum 2026.

At the “Health Without Borders” session on “Medical Tourism — Opportunities and Challenges in Services Trade”, Dr. Hsiang was the sole Chinese healthcare representative invited to share China’s experience in international medical services.

China’s leading hospitals serving international patients recorded 1.28 million international patient visits in 2025, up 73.6% from three years earlier, according to data cited by Dr. Hsiang. Of these, 413,000 visits were made by patients who travelled to China specifically for medical care. At Jiahui Health, overseas patient inquiries nearly doubled year on year in the first half of 2026.

The growth is being supported by policy reforms and China’s accelerating medical innovation. Citizens of 57 countries are currently eligible for China’s 240-hour visa-free transit policy through 65 ports, while China now accounts for 33.7% of drugs in global development. In June 2026, China approved the world’s first CAR-T therapy for a solid tumor, attracting international patients seeking access to this new treatment.

Recent Jiahui cases illustrate this trend. A New Zealand patient with advanced gastric cancer travelled to Shanghai shortly after the therapy’s approval and became its first international recipient. In another case, a U.S. patient with non-small cell lung cancer came to Jiahui to receive ivonescimab, an innovative bispecific antibody currently available only in China, following discussions with his physician at MD Anderson Cancer Center.

Dr. Hsiang said Shanghai is positioned as a gateway connecting Chinese medical innovation with global patients. Jiahui recorded more than 100,000 international outpatient visits in 2025 and has developed cross-border capabilities spanning international insurance direct billing, remote consultation and multilingual patient coordination.

Looking ahead, Dr. Hsiang called for greater international cooperation on medical travel and visa facilitation, access to information on medical innovation, and regulatory dialogue around cross-border health data and telemedicine.

“Medical tourism sits at the intersection of healthcare, trade and economic development,” Dr. Hsiang said. “Over the next three to five years, China has the potential to become a leading global destination for international medical care.”
