SINGAPORE, Jan 5, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The Asia Video Industry Association’s Coalition Against Piracy (CAP) today announced that a new site-blocking order has been granted by the Singapore High Court, targeting 22 major piracy website brands (covering 53 domains in total) facilitating illegal streaming and downloads of video content in Singapore.This latest order – obtained by BBC Studios, the Premier League and DFL Deutsche Fußball Liga – represents another significant step in Singapore’s ongoing efforts to disrupt large-scale digital piracy. The blocked sites were among the most widely accessed by Singapore-based users.CAP noted that while Singapore remains a regional leader in the fight against digital piracy, the sophistication of piracy services is growing both in terms of their resilience to traditional domain blocking techniques, such as what is envisaged in Singapore’s current legislation, and in their scope for creating wider harms that extend well beyond copyright infringement. Illicit streaming sites and devices increasingly expose consumers to malware, data theft, financial scams, and identity-fraud risks, while also contributing to broader threats such as botnet activity and risks to networks and infrastructure. In light of these escalating risks, CAP encourages the Government to review its legislation and ensure enforcement frameworks remain cutting-edge, robust, adaptive, and capable of addressing evolving and dynamic pirate services that pose cybersecurity and consumer-protection challenges.“Site-blocking continues to be one of the most proven and impactful anti-piracy mechanisms globally,” said Matt Cheetham, General Manager of CAP. “This latest order underscores the Singapore courts’ recognition of the harm caused by these illegal services. As piracy networks become more agile, ensuring that legislative procedures and implementation processes remain current and efficient is essential for maintaining the effectiveness of Singapore’s site blocking framework.”CAP will continue to work closely with rights holders, platforms, enforcement agencies, and policymakers across the Asia-Pacific region to safeguard the creative sector and support legitimate services that invest in high-quality content for consumers.About the Asia Video Industry AssociationThe Asia Video Industry Association (AVIA) is the trade association for the video industry and ecosystem in Asia Pacific. It serves to make the video industry stronger and healthier through promoting the common interests of its members.

HONG KONG, January 2, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Ev Dynamics (Holdings) Limited (the “Company”, stock code: 476.HK, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”) is pleased to announce that Zhongtong Kinetic Energy (Hangzhou) Technology Co., Ltd. (“Zhongtong Kinetic Energy” or the “Company”), the Group’s China operating headquarters platform, has entered into a Strategic Cooperation Framework Agreement with Xinjiang Huiyi New Energy Co., Ltd.(“Xinjiang Huiyi New Energy”), a subsidiary of SANY Group recently. Leveraging their respective complementary strengths and resources in their respective fields, both parties will establish a long-term strategic partnership to jointly develop and build an efficient, green and intelligent new energy bulk logistics transportation system. Following consultations, the cooperation will be carried out on a deep and long-term basis across multiple dimensions, including business resource sharing, new energy vehicle procurement, joint operations management, construction and investment in charging and battery swapping infrastructure, and intelligent vehicle management and operations systems.According to the framework agreement, the two parties will, within their respective business domains—such as demand for new energy transport vehicles, operation of new energy transportation equipment, and investment and construction of battery swapping infrastructure—achieve information exchange and resource sharing, jointly explore market opportunities, share tendering information, and give priority to selecting each other as joint investors or subcontractors. The specific allocation of rights, responsibilities and benefits shall be agreed separately.The two parties will also cooperate in new energy vehicle procurement and joint operations management. For example, Xinjiang Huiyi New Energy will ensure the provision of market-competitive pricing structures and technical assurance solutions, while Zhongtong Kinetic Energy, under the same conditions, will give priority to procuring new energy transportation vehicles (such as electric heavy trucks and construction machinery) from SANY Group, the parent company of Xinjiang Huiyi New Energy. Xinjiang Huiyi New Energy will provide Zhongtong Kinetic Energy with end-to-end technical support for the relevant vehicle equipment, covering the entire process from model selection and configuration, delivery and acceptance, to maintenance and upgrades, and will share SANY Group’s after-sales service network resources in Northwest China. Zhongtong Kinetic Energy commits to giving priority to Xinjiang Huiyi New Energy as a joint operations partner, under which Xinjiang Huiyi New Energy will carry out professionalised operational management of the vehicle equipment. In addition, the two parties will jointly assess the charging and battery swapping station construction requirements in Hami, Xinjiang and surrounding areas, and Xinjiang Huiyi New Energy will open its existing charging and battery swapping resources to provide energy replenishment services for the Company’s project equipment.Mr. Zeng Yan, Chief Executive Officer of the Group, said: “We are very pleased to establish this strategic partnership with Xinjiang Huiyi New Energy, a subsidiary of SANY Group. This cooperation represents strong recognition of our business upgrade and of the Group’s ongoing efforts to build and deliver a comprehensive green mobility ecosystem that integrates vehicle procurement, operations management, charging and battery swapping services, and route-based carbon emission management. As we precisely position ourselves within the national strategic logistics corridor of ‘Xinjiang Coal Outbound Transport’, the Group’s electric heavy truck solutions, as a disruptive innovation tailored to this specific scenario, are transforming our previous one-off vehicle sales model into a recurring revenue structure centred on ‘vehicle operations and energy services’. We believe that this cooperation will further support the Group’s future expansion in Xinjiang-related regions by deepening the deployment of the ‘Transport as a Service’ (TaaS) model—a green transportation service model charged by mileage or ton-kilometer, under which customers can enjoy zero-emission transportation without bearing high upfront vehicle purchase costs or technological risks—thereby unlocking sustainable logistics solution opportunities.”He added: “In addition, the Group has previously entered into three legally binding long-term operational agreements with subsidiaries of a state-owned enterprise for the supply and operation of electric vehicles for coal transportation. We believe that this strategic cooperation with Xinjiang Huiyi New Energy will further strengthen the foundation for us to provide greener and more efficient bulk logistics transportation systems to existing customers and other potential customers going forward.”About Sany Group and Xinjiang Huiyi New Energy Co., LtdSany Group is a global leading manufacturer of construction machinery, with business segments covering concrete machinery, excavation machinery, hoisting machinery, road construction machinery, piling machinery, wind power equipment, port machinery, petroleum equipment, coal mining equipment and others.

MIAMI, FL, Jan 1, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - EB5 United is pleased to announce that it has surpassed 700 I-526E approvals under Rural Priority Processing, marking one of the strongest post-RIA performance records in the EB-5 industry. This milestone comes less than three months after the company announced surpassing 600 approvals on August 27, 2025, further underscoring both its leadership in Rural EB-5 Projects and the effectiveness of USCIS Priority Processing introduced under the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act (RIA) of 2022.Since 2022, EB5 United has sponsored three Rural TEA EB-5 Projects and one post-RIA Urban High Unemployment Area (HUA) Project. USCIS adjudication results clearly demonstrate the processing advantages available to investors in the Rural category. From 2022-2025, the company recorded 72 approvals in Rural Project 1 with an average processing time of 9.7 months (shortest approval: 2.8 months); 409 approvals in Rural Project 2 averaging 8 months (shortest approval: 2.7 months); and 224 approvals in Rural Project 3 averaging 11.9 months (shortest approval: 1 month). In contrast, the Urban HUA Project has received only six approvals to date, averaging 28.6 months.USCIS petition approval speed has accelerated significantly in 2025. Most of EB5 United's approvals this year have been issued in under five months, and several investors who filed in August 2025 received their approvals in under 90 days! Of all Rural I-526E petitions adjudicated across EB5 United's platform since the RIA of 2022, 76.88% have been approved within 12 months."The current processing times that we are seeing in rural projects with priority processing are incredible and unprecedented. Over 13 years in the industry, I have never seen adjudication times for I-526 or I-526E Petitions average less than 2 years, let alone 5 months. It is great to see the EB-5 program as a clear priority to USCIS today," said Brennan Sim, Global Sales, EB5 United.About EB-5 ProgramThe EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program was created in 1990 to attract foreign investment to stimulate economic growth through job creation in the United States. The program allows foreign nationals to make a qualifying investment into a new or existing U.S. commercial enterprise that creates 10 U.S. jobs to obtain a Green Card.

Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec, Dec 30, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Radisson Mining Resources Inc. (TSXV: RDS) (OTCQX: RMRDF) ("Radisson" or the "Company") achieved significant progress during 2025 in the exploration and development of its 100%-owned O'Brien Gold Project ("O'Brien" or the "Project") located in the Abitibi region of Québec. The 2026 work program will build upon this success, with the largest ever drill program at O'Brien funded from the Company's largest ever treasury.2025 Milestones957 days of continuous site operations without a lost time incident;Completion of approximately 35,000 metres of drilling with deep step-out holes and directional wedges delineating significant high-grade gold mineralization over a broad area beneath the historic O'Brien gold mine and existing mineral resources (Figure 1);Of the 68 step-out holes and wedges completed, assayed and reported, 56 intersected new gold mineralization with grades and thicknesses consistent with the Project's Mineral Resource Estimate (Table 1), an impressive 82% success rate;A comprehensive metallurgical study demonstrating recoveries of between 86% and 96% based on flow sheet options developed in a milling assessment completed on the nearby Doyon mill under the auspices of a Memorandum of Understanding with IAMGOLD Inc1;A "snap-shot" Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") demonstrating a high-value, low-cost project based on the current mineral resources and use of off-site facilities for processing and tailings management, maximising value and minimising environmental impact;Completion of C$37 million in equity financings to long-term investors. Radisson expects to end 2025 with a treasury (cash and cash equivalents) of approximately C$32 million (unaudited), fully funding of the Company's 2026 work programs.Matt Manson, President and CEO: "Starting in late 2024, we elected to pursue a more aggressive exploration strategy at O'Brien based on the thesis that a significantly larger mineral resource might exist at the Project should its mineralizing system, previously delineated only at shallower levels, continue to depth. Over the last twelve months we have seen consistent success with large step-out drill holes beneath both the existing mineral resources and the historic mine. At the start of this program we drilled OB-24-337, the first ever hole below the final stope of the old mine since mining ended in 1957. This returned 31.24 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au") over 8.0 metres (including 242.0 g/t Au over 1.0 metre) at 1,500 metres vertical depth. From this single pilot hole, operating continuously for more than 12 months, we have now completed 15 wedges and published results for 11, delineating a system of high-grade mineralization in multiple veins over a broad area. This achievement has delivered outstanding value to the Company and owes much to the skill of the Radisson exploration team and our drill contractor Akakodjici / RJLL, a joint venture between RJLL Drilling of Rouyn-Noranda, Québec and Longpoint First Nation. Overall, the 82% success rate of intersecting mineralization with grades and thicknesses consistent with the Project's mineral resources is a significant achievement for a step-out drill program designed to target open areas with no previous drilling. Currently, an additional 18 drill holes from the 2025 program are "in-progress" of logging, sample preparation or assaying, and awaiting publication."Matt Manson continued: "The PEA released in 2025 demonstrated the attributes of a high value project with a low capex and modest footprint based on the use of existing offsite facilities for processing, of which there are several in the Abitibi region. In 2026, we will continue to refine the Project's development path, with on-going engineering studies, environmental baseline work, community dialog, and engagement with potential processing partners; however, the 2025 PEA was only a "snap-shot" of a project that is continuing to grow. The focus of our work in 2026 and into 2027 will be the ongoing step-out drill program, which has now been expanded to 140,000 metres with eight rigs, fully funded from our strong treasury."Figure 1: Deep step-out drill holes completed and/or published by the Company since December 2024. Drill holes "in-progress" and awaiting final assay results and publication are shown as red traces.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/279191_c88cea96641e4b8a_001full.jpg2026 Work ProgramThe following 2026 work program has been approved by the Company's Board of Directors:72,500 metres of drilling focussed on new areas of potential gold mineralization. The objective of the program will be step-outs to increase the quantity of mineral resources rather than in-filling to upgrade the classification of an existing mineral resource. With a forecast of 35,000 metres of step-out drilling completed in 2025, a further 32,500 metres will be scheduled for 2027 to complete the 140,000-metre program. All-in drill costs are budgeted at C21 million, or approximately C$290 per metre depending on the average depth of drilling;Up to eight rigs will be deployed with pilot holes and directional wedges. Targets will include the extension of mineralization up to 2 kilometres vertical depth at O'Brien Mine East and beneath resource Trend #s 1 and 2 (see Figure 1). The apparent "gap" area between Trends 1 and 2, attributed primarily to lack of drill density versus lack of mineralization, will be tested, as well as the Thompson-Cadillac area west of the O'Brien mine, which will be drilled for the first time since 2021. Drilling is also planned in the gap area between O'Brien Mine West and East, and below Trends #3 and #4. Program objectives will be reassessed progressively based on results obtained;Progressive updates to the Project's Mineral Resource Estimate as the step-out drill program proceeds;Commencement of assaying by PhotonAssay method with 50-gram fire assay verification replacing Radisson's current two-stage fire assay/screen metallic procedure, designed to better capture whole-rock, coarse gold content and improve assay turnaround time;A program of mine plan optimization and design sensitivity analysis to be undertaken in conjunction with the ongoing drilling and development of the Project's geological and mineral resource models. This work will be conducted by Evomine and will include an assessment of the viability of incorporating existing O'Brien mine infrastructure, such as its 1,000-metre shaft, into a future mine development plan;Ongoing grassroots exploration on Radisson's New Alger property with prospecting and surface geochemistry, and an assessment of the prospectivity of gold mineralization in the Cadillac Sediments located north of the Larder Lake-Cadillac Break and the O'Brien Mine;A comprehensive environmental baseline study focussed on the Project site's biophysical attributes such as water, flora and fauna, to complement existing baseline data on air quality, vibration and noise;Ongoing engagement and dialog focussed on deepening the Company's relationships with communities located within the area of expected economic and social influence of the Project, including the township of Cadillac and the First Nations communities of Pikogan FN (Abitibiwinni) and Long Point FN (Anishinabeg).12-Month Record of Drill Results at the O'Brien Gold ProjectSince the end of 2024, Radisson has published results from 68 drill holes completed as part of the ongoing step-out drill program (Table 1). These are drill holes targeting new areas of mineralization, and as such are distinguished from "in-fill" type drill holes which seek to upgrade areas of known mineralization. Most of these step-out drill holes have intersected gold mineralization in O'Brien's characteristic quartz-sulphide-gold veins within alteration zones, and 56 have intercepts averaging greater than 3 g/t Au (expressed as core length, with minimum sample widths of typically 1.0 to 1.5 metres). Such intercepts are consistent in grade and thickness with the Project's current Mineral Resource Estimate, and Radisson considers them to have the potential to contribute meaningfully to future mineral resources. This is an 82% success rate, which reflects the scope of the O'Brien mineralizing system. At time of writing, an additional 18 drill holes from the 2025 program are "in-progress" of logging, sample preparation or assaying, and awaiting publication.Table 1: Drill Results Published for the O'Brien Gold Project since December 2024Date of PublicationTotal Number of Drill HolesDrill Holes with Intercepts >+3g/tSuccess Rate (%)28th October 2025151387%8th September, 2025151387%16th July 2025141179%2nd April 202533100%26th February 2025201575%16th December 202411100%Total685682% Grant of Equity IncentivesPursuant to the Company's annual short term incentive compensation plan, the Board of Directors has authorized the grant of an aggregate 246,875 Restricted Stock Units to certain officers of the Company vesting on the first anniversary of the date of grant, in accordance with the Company's Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan.QP DisclosureDisclosure of a scientific or technical nature in this news release was prepared under the supervision of Mr. Richard Nieminen, P.Geo, (QC), a geological consultant for Radisson and a Qualified Person for purposes of NI 43-101.

HONG KONG, December 29, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – With manufacturing investment gradually recovering and the pace of industrial project construction continuing to advance, industrial buildings are accelerating toward standardised and prefabricated development. Against this backdrop, the application of industrial prefabricated steel structure buildings in manufacturing plants and large-scale industrial projects has continued to expand. As the listing process enters its final stage, USAS Building System (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (the “Company” or “USAS”) is set to be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on 30 December, and the industrial prefabricated steel structure sub-sector in which it operates is coming into the capital market's view.Industrial prefabricated steel structure buildings are a typical sub-sector of industrial construction. Demand is mainly derived from manufacturing plants and industrial projects, where higher requirements are placed on construction efficiency and delivery capability. Compared with residential and commercial buildings, industrial buildings place greater emphasis on construction efficiency, structural stability and compatibility with production systems. Continued capacity expansion across manufacturing sectors such as automotive, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, machinery and electronics, and logistics has strengthened the industrial nature of prefabricated steel structure buildings in industrial projects.In response to such demand, USAS has formed a relatively clear business positioning. The prospectus shows that the Company is not a single steel structure fabricator, but rather an integrated prefabricated steel structure building solution provider focused on the industrial sector, providing full-process subcontracting services for industrial plants and manufacturing projects, covering design optimisation, procurement, manufacturing and on-site installation. According to the Frost & Sullivan Report, by revenue in 2024, USAS ranked third in China's industrial prefabricated steel structure building market. Against the backdrop of an overall fragmented industry, USAS has established a relatively clear industry position.From an operating perspective, the Company has established a stable business foundation. The prospectus discloses that from 2022 to 2024, USAS recorded revenue of approximately RMB1.903 billion, RMB1.453 billion and RMB1.523 billion, respectively, maintaining an overall scale at the level of over RMB1 billion. Among these, prefabricated steel structure building subcontracting services are the core source of revenue. In 2024, revenue from this business was approximately RMB1.241 billion, accounting for 81.5% of total revenue, reflecting the Company's high degree of focus on its industrial prefabricated steel structure core business.In terms of profitability structure, the Company presents typical characteristics of an industrial project-based model. From 2022 to 2024, the Company's overall gross profit margin was 12.7%, 14.8% and 12.5%, respectively, while the gross profit margin of the core subcontracting business remained in the range of 13%–15% over the long term. In 2025, as certain large-scale industrial projects progressed in a concentrated manner, the Company achieved revenue of approximately RMB1.424 billion in the first half of the year, reflecting the impact of project execution cycles on the release of interim performance.From a medium- to long-term industry perspective, the penetration rate of prefabricated steel structures in China's industrial building sector remains at a relatively low level. Manufacturing investment upgrades, demand for compressed construction timelines and the continued advancement of green building policies provide a practical demand foundation for the industry. At the same time, emerging manufacturing bases such as Southeast Asia are accelerating the undertaking of global capacity relocation, which also brings new sources of projects for enterprises with cross-regional delivery capabilities.Against this backdrop, USAS's overseas business footprint has gradually become more evident. The prospectus discloses that revenue from the Company's industrial environmental equipment business is mainly derived from overseas markets. Revenue from this segment increased from approximately RMB31.82 million in 2022 to approximately RMB100 million in 2024, while its gross profit margin increased to 18.9% over the same period. This business has covered multiple overseas markets and has obtained certifications in China, the United States, Europe and Canada, providing conditions and support for cross-regional project execution.Following its listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, USAS is expected to leverage the capital market platform to further consolidate its industry position in the industrial prefabricated steel structure segment. With its established industrial customer base, stable project delivery capabilities and a gradually expanding overseas business footprint, the Company has a practical foundation to continue advancing in undertaking industrial projects, optimising its business structure and enhancing scalable operational capabilities.

NEW YORK, Dec 26, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Taxinexo, a U.S.-based autonomous vehicle operator, has entered a new phase of large-scale commercial deployment after nearly five years of continuous operation in the United States. Leveraging its mature Level 4 autonomous driving technology and proven operational capabilities, the company has expanded multi-scenario services across several U.S. states, positioning itself as a representative case of how federal and state policy coordination is accelerating the commercialization of autonomous driving in the U.S. smart mobility sector.Since its inception, Taxinexo's growth trajectory has been deeply intertwined with the US autonomous driving industry's policy support system. The US federal government, through national strategic documents such as the Comprehensive Autonomous Vehicle Initiative, has established a development orientation of "safety first, encouraging innovation," providing companies with a flexible regulatory environment—including simplified administrative exemption procedures for autonomous vehicles, allowing steering wheel-less and pedal-less vehicles that meet technical standards to be tested and operated on public roads, significantly lowering the policy threshold for companies to iterate their technology. Meanwhile, the Inflation Reduction Act's tax credit of up to $7,500 per vehicle for Level 3 and above autonomous driving vehicles further assisted Taxinexo in completing its R&D investment and fleet expansion, enabling it to achieve large-scale commercial operation in multiple states across the US. This has allowed it to accumulate millions of kilometers of real-world road operation data and build an operational network covering diverse scenarios such as urban main roads, business parks, and commuter shuttles.In an interview with this newspaper, Taxinexo's Global Marketing Head stated, "The policy support in the US over the past five years has provided us with an excellent development platform. From technology R&D to commercialization, the flexible regulatory environment and precise policy support have allowed us to accumulate core capabilities to handle complex scenarios. In the future, we will continue to leverage local policy advantages, deepen our diversified scenario operation layout, and help promote the US autonomous driving industry towards a more efficient and safer stage."Data shows that the US autonomous driving industry is rapidly expanding, with leading companies continuously increasing their fleet sizes and weekly order volume exceeding hundreds of thousands, indicating a broad commercial prospect for the industry.Taxinexo reportedly plans to further expand its service coverage in the United States based on its existing operations, focusing on high-frequency travel scenarios such as airport shuttles and intercity commuting, and will continue to increase investment in technology research and development to promote the iterative upgrade of its autonomous driving system. In the future, its large-scale operational experience may provide a replicable practice model for the intelligent transportation upgrades of more cities in the United States.Social LinksTelegram: https://t.me/taxinexoX: https://x.com/taxinexoFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61585301312596Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/taxinexoLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/taxinexo/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@taxinexoMedia contactBrand: TaxinexoContact: Media teamWebsite: https://www.taxinexo.com Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.
