<title>Icomera Expands its Rail Connectivity Portfolio with the Launch of the XS1 Router</title>
<link>https://antaranusa.com/antaranusa-business/Icomera-Expands-its-Rail-Connectivity-Portfolio-with-the-Launch-of-the-XS1-Router</link>
<description><![CDATA[<img src=https://antaranusa.com/ border=0 hspace=5 align=left width=350 /><div><span style="font-size: 14px;">Icomera, a wholly owned subsidiary of Equans, today announced the launch of the XS1, a compact, connectivity-focused rail router designed for deployments where reliable onboard connectivity is the primary requirement.</span></div><div><br></div><div>Gothenburg, Sweden, May 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rail operators face increasingly diverse onboard Internet connectivity requirements, driven by differences in fleet types, vehicle architecture, space constraints, and operational priorities. To meet those needs, Icomera, a wholly owned subsidiary of Equans, today announced the launch of the XS1, a compact, connectivity&#8209;focused rail router designed for deployments where reliable onboard connectivity is the primary requirement.</div><div><br></div><div>Connectivity-first 5G rail router, ready for LEO satellite</div><div><br></div><div>The Icomera XS1 is built on Icomera&#039;s established X-series software architecture, already deployed at scale across live rail fleets worldwide, supporting large numbers of onboard systems and serving millions of passenger journeys every day. The XS1 brings together aggregated connectivity across 5G cellular, private trackside, and low-Earth&#8209;orbit (LEO) satellite networks into a single onboard service layer. This includes support for Starlink, where Icomera is an authorised reseller, alongside other satellite connectivity options.</div><div><br></div><div>Designed for simpler deployments and fleet modernisation</div><div><br></div><div>While high-performance onboard computing platforms play a vital role in many fleets, there are also deployments where simplicity, ease of installation, and right&#8209;sized capability matter most. The XS1 has been designed for these scenarios, offering operators a smaller and lighter rail&#8209;grade router that delivers secure, high&#8209;quality connectivity without unnecessary hardware complexity.</div><div><br></div><div>It is well suited to fleet modernisation projects and space&#8209;constrained vehicles such as metros, light rail, and regional trains, with a compact form factor that supports more modular and distributed onboard connectivity designs, enabling easier installation and retrofit, and dedicated migration designs to help simplify transitions from earlier-generation routers.</div><div><br></div><div>A complementary addition to Icomera&#039;s router portfolio</div><div><br></div><div>"The XS1 expands our portfolio of rail-specific connectivity products, complementing the flagship Icomera X7 router" explains Damien Convert, Chief Business Officer. "While the X7 combines high&#8209;performance connectivity with substantial built-in computer processing power and storage to support multiple, resource&#8209;intensive applications, the XS1 is optimised for deployments where reliable connectivity is the priority, and onboard computing plays a less central role".</div><div>Together, the two routers give operators greater flexibility to select the right technology for different vehicles, operating models, and needs, rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all approach across a fleet.</div><div><br></div><div>Proven operations at fleet scale</div><div>Like other Icomera products, the XS1 operates within the company&#039;s established People, Processes, and Tools model for managed rail connectivity. Dedicated service delivery teams, clearly defined operational processes, and purpose-built cloud tools combine engineering ingenuity with operational intelligence and long-term partnership. Together, they enable Icomera to deliver connectivity at scale - not only in trials, but across live passenger fleets - with predictable performance, structured lifecycle management from deployment through long-term support, and clearly defined service levels.</div><div><br></div><div>The XS1 is entering customer trials ahead of broader availability later in 2026.***</div><div><br></div>   ]]></description>

<title>CGTN: Mengapa dunia menyoroti KTT Tiongkok-AS yang akan datang?</title>
<link>https://antaranusa.com/antaranusa-business/CGTN--Mengapa-dunia-menyoroti-KTT-Tiongkok-AS-yang-akan-datang-</link>
<description><![CDATA[<img src=https://antaranusa.com/ border=0 hspace=5 align=left width=350 /><div><span style="font-size: 14px;">CGTN menerbitkan artikel yang membahas alasan KTT Tiongkok-AS yang akan datang menjadi sorotan dunia. Di tengah ketegangan geopolitik yang berkepanjangan dan pemulihan global yang rapuh, artikel tersebut menjelaskan bagaimana diplomasi antarkepala negara menjadi "jangkar" hubungan Tiongkok-AS. Artikel tersebut juga membahas bagaimana KTT tersebut dapat menghadirkan kepastian yang lebih besar bagi dunia yang kian bergejolak.</span></div><div><br></div><div>BEIJING, May 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Presiden AS Donald Trump akan melakukan kunjungan kenegaraan ke Tiongkok pada tanggal 13-15 Mei atas undangan Presiden Tiongkok Xi Jinping, seperti diumumkan Kementerian Luar Negeri Tiongkok pada hari Senin.</div><div><br></div><div>Di tengah ketegangan geopolitik yang berkepanjangan dan pemulihan global yang rapuh, dunia sangat menyoroti apakah kedua pemimpin tersebut dapat semakin menstabilkan hubungan Tiongkok-AS serta menghadirkan kepastian yang sangat dibutuhkan bagi situasi internasional.</div><div><br></div><div>Menjaga hubungan Tiongkok-AS tetap berada di jalur yang tepat</div><div><br></div><div>Bagi banyak pengamat, KTT tersebut mencerminkan satu harapan utama: stabilitas dalam hubungan bilateral.</div><div><br></div><div>Wawancara yang dilakukan CGTN menunjukkan kesamaan pandangan di kalangan ahli bahwa diplomasi antarkepala negara telah lama menjadi "jangkar" stabilitas tersebut.</div><div><br></div><div>Seperti yang disampaikan Wu Xinbo, dekan Institut Studi Internasional di Universitas Fudan, diplomasi antarkepala negara semacam itu "menentukan arah dan nuansa" hubungan bilateral.</div><div><br></div><div>Sun Taiyi, Lektor Kepala di Christopher Newport University, juga menyebutkan bahwa komunikasi langsung antarpemimpin dapat membantu mengurangi ketidakpastian, mencegah kesalahan perhitungan, serta menunjukkan bahwa stabilitas tetap menjadi prioritas utama.</div><div><br></div><div>Selama setahun terakhir, kedua pemimpin tersebut terus menjalin komunikasi melalui panggilan telepon dan pertemuan tatap muka di Busan, Korea Selatan, yang membantu mencegah kesalahan perhitungan besar dan menjaga stabilitas hubungan secara keseluruhan.</div><div><br></div><div>Seperti yang disebutkan presiden Xi kepada Trump di Busan, "Di tengah berbagai tantangan dan gejolak, kita harus tetap berada di jalur yang tepat, menghadapi situasi yang kompleks, serta memastikan kapal besar hubungan Tiongkok-AS terus berlayar dengan stabil."</div><div><br></div><div>Metafora tentang "mengemudikan kapal" tersebut tercermin dalam kemajuan yang nyata.</div><div><br></div><div>Sejak tahun 2025, berdasarkan konsensus strategis yang dicapai kedua kepala negara, tim ekonomi dari kedua pihak telah mengadakan beberapa putaran pembicaraan. Sementara itu, eskalasi tarif berskala besar untuk sementara waktu telah dihentikan. Putaran baru konsultasi dijadwalkan berlangsung di Korea Selatan pada tanggal 12-13 Mei, tepat menjelang KTT Beijing.</div><div><br></div><div><div>Pertukaran antarmasyarakat juga kembali mengalami peningkatan. Pada bulan April, Beijing menyelenggarakan serangkaian acara dalam rangka peringatan 55 tahun "Diplomasi Pingpong" Tiongkok-AS, dengan ratusan pemuda Tiongkok dan Amerika mengikuti pertukaran olahraga dan budaya. Kelompok pemuda AS juga semakin banyak yang datang ke Tiongkok untuk mengikuti program pertukaran dan studi.</div><div><br></div><div>Menghadirkan kepastian bagi dunia yang terus berubah</div><div><br></div><div>Sebagai dua ekonomi terbesar dunia, dan dengan hubungan Tiongkok-AS yang menjadi salah satu hubungan bilateral terpenting di dunia, hasil diplomasi antarkepala negara kedua negara tidak hanya membantu menstabilkan hubungan bilateral, tetapi juga berdampak lebih luas terhadap pembangunan dan tata kelola global.</div><div><br></div><div>Seperti yang disampaikan Senior Fellow di Peterson Institute Chad Bown, "hampir semua pihak memiliki kepentingan terhadap hasilnya." Ekonom di Cornell University Eswar Prasad bahkan mengatakan bahwa pertemuan tersebut dapat membawa dampak pada perdagangan global, geopolitik, hingga "tatanan berbasis aturan."</div><div><br></div><div>Wawancara CGTN dengan para ahli menunjukkan pandangan yang senada.</div><div><br></div><div>Zhang Tengjun, peneliti rekanan di China Institute of International Studies, mengatakan bahwa kerja sama yang lebih mendalam dapat memberikan dorongan bagi pemulihan global serta menstabilkan rantai industri dan pasokan. Beliau menegaskan bahwa arah hubungan bilateral sangat berkaitan erat dengan masa depan dunia.</div><div><br></div><div>Terkait hal ini, Sun mengatakan bahwa hubungan yang stabil dapat mengurangi risiko gangguan rantai pasokan, volatilitas keuangan, dan fragmentasi geopolitik.</div><div><br></div><div>Dean Wu mengatakan bahwa sebagai dua kekuatan teknologi utama dunia, Tiongkok dan Amerika Serikat memiliki kapasitas untuk memberikan "hasil yang saling menguntungkan" melalui kerja sama praktis, yang mendukung pertumbuhan global dan kemajuan pengetahuan ilmiah yang lebih luas.</div><div><br></div><div>Demikian pula, Cui Fan, wakil dekan University of International Business and Economics, menegaskan bahwa kedua negara sama-sama memikul tanggung jawab untuk menjaga stabilitas tata kelola global.</div><div><br></div><div>Presiden Xi juga menegaskan tanggung jawab ini di Busan: "Dunia saat ini menghadapi banyak masalah berat. Tiongkok dan Amerika Serikat dapat bersama-sama memikul tanggung jawab sebagai negara besar, serta bekerja sama untuk mencapai lebih banyak hal besar dan nyata demi kepentingan kedua negara dan dunia secara keseluruhan."</div><div><br></div><div>Tahun ini menghadirkan kesempatan untuk menguji tanggung jawab tersebut, dengan Tiongkok menjadi tuan rumah APEC dan Amerika Serikat menjadi tuan rumah KTT Pemimpin G20. Kedua platform tersebut dapat membuka ruang bagi koordinasi dalam pemulihan global, ketahanan pangan dan energi, risiko utang, serta reformasi tata kelola global.</div><div><br></div><div>Dalam percakapan telepon dengan Trump pada bulan Februari, Xi mengemukakan pendekatan pragmatis untuk mengatasi berbagai kendala ke depannya: "Jika kedua pihak bergerak sejalan dengan semangat kesetaraan, saling menghormati, dan saling menguntungkan, kita tentu dapat menemukan cara untuk mengatasi kekhawatiran masing-masing."</div><div><br></div><div>Dunia akan menyoroti KTT mendatang untuk melihat bagaimana Beijing dan Washington dapat menerjemahkan seruan Xi ke dalam tindakan, yakni untuk "mencapai kemajuan secara bertahap untuk membangun rasa saling percaya, menemukan cara yang tepat untuk menjalin hubungan, serta menjadikan 2026 sebagai tahun ketika kedua negara besar melangkah menuju saling menghormati, hidup berdampingan secara damai, dan kerja sama yang saling menguntungkan." ***</div><div>&nbsp;&nbsp;</div></div><div><br></div>   ]]></description>

<title>Hong Kong and New Zealand among the 10 easiest jurisdictions to do business in, says the GBCI 2026</title>

<description><![CDATA[<img src=https://antaranusa.com/ border=0 hspace=5 align=left width=350 /><div><span style="font-size: 14px;">APAC ranks as a medium-complexity region, although India and China are among the 20 most complex</span></div><div><br></div><div>LONDON, May 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TMF Group, a leading provider of compliance and administrative services, today launches the 13th edition of the Global Business Complexity Index (GBCI), which shows that operating across borders is becoming more demanding as regulations diverge and reporting obligations expand.</div><div><br></div><div>The GBCI analyses 81 jurisdictions representing over 90% of the world&#039;s economy, ranking them from most (1) to least complex (81) to do business in. Based on 292 indicators per jurisdiction, the report focuses on the challenges businesses face across accounting and tax, legal entity management and employment requirements.</div><div><br></div><div>Hong Kong, SAR and New Zealand are among the top 10 least complex jurisdictions for doing business globally. These jurisdictions have consistently ranked as low complexity, given a stable, simple regulatory environment and robust digital infrastructure supporting it.</div><div><br></div><div>India ranks as the 13th most complex jurisdiction, with a federal structure in which central and state regulations intersect. While new reforms add layers of complexity in the short term, these changes, alongside a more business-oriented policy direction, have the potential to open new opportunities for foreign firms in the long term.</div><div><br></div><div>Japan, Taiwan and Singapore rank among the medium-to-low complexity jurisdictions. Japan&#039;s (54th) efforts to attract inward investment include simplified processes for international financial firms, initiatives to attract highly skilled foreign talent and preferential tax treatment for asset managers. Taiwan, ROC (50th), combines ongoing digital transformation with investment-friendly programmes, despite regulatory and geopolitical challenges. Singapore (47th) continues to benefit from strong digitalisation, alignment with international accounting standards, a low corporate tax rate, a competitive corporate tax regime, and an extensive network of double tax treaties.</div><div><br></div><div>The top 10 most complex jurisdictions worldwide are led by Latin American and EU jurisdictions.</div><div><br></div><div>Greece ranks for the third consecutive year as the most complex jurisdiction in the world, mainly due to frequent legislative changes and ongoing regulatory reforms. Mexico is the second most complex, driven by frequent regulatory changes, unpredictable administrative requirements, evolving digital requirements and unclear expectations by the tax authorities. Brazil ranks as the third most complex, with a multi-layered tax system and frequent regulatory changes and heavy compliance demands, alongside inconsistent rules at federal, state, and municipal levels.</div><div><br></div><div>Top and bottom 10 jurisdictions (1= most complex, 81= least complex)</div><div>1.

<title>Hong Kong dan Selandia Baru masuk daftar 10 yurisdiksi termudah untuk berbisnis, menurut GBCI 2026</title>

<description><![CDATA[<img src=https://antaranusa.com/ border=0 hspace=5 align=left width=350 /><div><span style="font-size: 14px;">APAC menempati peringkat sebagai kawasan dengan tingkat kompleksitas menengah, meskipun India dan Tiongkok termasuk di antara 20 negara paling kompleks</span></div><div><br></div><div>LONDON, May 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TMF Group, penyedia terkemuka layanan kepatuhan dan administrasi, hari ini meluncurkan edisi ke-13 Global Business Complexity Index (GBCI), yang menunjukkan bahwa operasional lintas negara menjadi semakin menantang karena perbedaan regulasi dan meluasnya kewajiban pelaporan.</div><div><br></div><div>GBCI menganalisis 81 yurisdiksi yang mewakili lebih dari 90% perekonomian dunia, lalu memberi peringkat dari yang paling kompleks (1)hingga paling tidak kompleks(81) untuk berbisnis. Berdasarkan 292 indikator per yurisdiksi, laporan ini berfokus pada tantangan yang dihadapi pelaku usaha dalam bidang akuntansi dan perpajakan, pengelolaan entitas hukum, serta persyaratan ketenagakerjaan.</div><div><br></div><div>Hong Kong, Daerah Administratif Khusus dan Selandia Baru termasuk dalam 10 yurisdiksi paling tidak kompleks untuk berbisnis secara global. Yurisdiksi ini secara konsisten menempati peringkat dengan kompleksitas rendah karena memiliki lingkungan regulasi yang stabil dan sederhana, serta didukung infrastruktur digital yang kuat.</div><div><br></div><div>India berada di peringkat ke-13 sebagai yurisdiksi paling kompleks, karena adanya struktur federal yang menyebabkan regulasi pusat dan negara bagian bersinggungan. Meski reformasi baru membuat regulasi bertambah kompleks dalam jangka pendek, perubahan ini dan kebijakan yang semakin mendukung dunia usaha dapat membuka peluang baru bagi perusahaan asing untuk jangka panjang.</div><div><br></div><div>Jepang, Taiwan, dan Singapura termasuk dalam kelompok yurisdiksi dengan tingkat kompleksitas menengah hingga rendah. Jepang (peringkat ke-54) terus berupaya menarik investasi masuk melalui penyederhanaan proses bagi perusahaan keuangan internasional, inisiatif untuk menarik talenta asing yang sangat terampil, serta perlakuan pajak khusus bagi pengelola aset.</div><div><br></div><div>Taiwan, Republik Tiongkok (peringkat ke-50), memadukan transformasi digital yang terus berjalan dengan program yang ramah investasi, meski menghadapi tantangan regulasi dan geopolitik. Singapura (peringkat ke-47) tetap mendapat manfaat dari digitalisasi yang kuat, penyelarasan dengan standar akuntansi internasional, tarif pajak perusahaan yang rendah, pajak perusahaan yang berlaku kompetitif, serta jaringan perjanjian penghindaran pajak berganda yang luas.</div><div><br></div><div>Daftar 10 yurisdiksi paling kompleks di dunia dipimpin oleh yurisdiksi di Amerika Latin dan Uni Eropa.</div><div><br></div><div>Yunani kembali menjadi yurisdiksi paling kompleks di dunia untuk tahun ketiga berturut-turut, terutama akibat seringnya perubahan undang-undang dan reformasi regulasi yang masih terus berjalan. Meksiko menempati posisi kedua sebagai yurisdiksi paling kompleks karena perubahan regulasi yang kerap terjadi, persyaratan administrasi yang sulit diprediksi, persyaratan digital yang terus berkembang, serta ekspektasi yang belum jelas dari otoritas pajak. Brasil berada di posisi ketiga sebagai yurisdiksi paling kompleks, dengan sistem perpajakan yang berlapis, regulasi yang sering berubah, serta tuntutan kepatuhan yang tinggi, ditambah aturan yang berbeda-beda di tingkat federal, negara bagian, dan kota.</div><div><br></div><div>Daftar 10 yurisdiksi teratas dan terbawah (1 = paling kompleks, 81 = paling tidak kompleks)</div><div>1. Yunani&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 72. Curacao</div><div>2. Meksiko&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;73. Malta</div><div>3.

Situasi ini juga membuat perusahaan harus menghadapi tingkat ketidakpastian yang lebih besar terhadap regulasi," ujar Mark Weil, CEO TMF Group.***</span></div>   ]]></description>

Together, they redefine retail as a platform shaped by shared purpose, creativity, and participation. This extends to redefining customer relationships through trust, inspiring customers to visit more often, spend more time, and deepen engagement within our ecosystem.</div><div><br></div><div>"Sustainability is no longer optional," Chutrakul said. "We must accelerate and make a bold move. Real, lasting impact is never created alone. It requires co-creation across industries, united by purpose, in a place that captures the world&#039;s attention and inspires change for the greater good."</div><div><br></div><div>Launched in November 2025, the 15,000-square-meter attraction at Siam Paragon, a global landmark that draws more than 200,000 visitors daily, including a significant share of international tourists aims to move sustainability "beyond awareness into joyful and engaging experiences in everyday life," she added.</div><div><br></div><div>Developed with more than 50 partners, NEXTOPIA operates under the theme "Co-creating Communities for a Better World." It features infrastructure contributions from companies including B.Grimm, SCG, Indorama and Kasikornbank, incorporating solar energy, sustainable materials, advanced water systems, and cooling and clean air technologies.</div><div><br></div><div>The project has achieved zero waste to landfill, cut energy consumption by 47%, reduced water use by 34% and lowered carbon emissions from construction materials by 59%. Within a year, water savings are projected to be equivalent to the volume of an Olympic-sized swimming pool. Over two years, decarbonization efforts will deliver the environmental benefit of creating a vast urban park.</div><div><br></div><div>NEXTOPIA is Thailand&#039;s first multi-tenant retail building to earn EDGE Advanced certification for resource efficiency and a two-star Fitwel rating. It also received the Best in Building Health Award 2026 from Fitwel, achieving top scores for its design and quality-of-life features.</div><div><br></div><div>Tenants must adhere to some 50 sustainability criteria covering waste management and value chain practices, with many exceeding standard industry benchmarks. Siam Piwat developed the framework over three years to help partners adopt sustainable practices quickly while cutting costs and unlocking new value.</div><div><br></div><div>Interactive elements at NEXTOPIA invite visitors to participate directly, with kinetic floors and bicycles that generate electricity for redeemable rewards, alongside exhibits featuring Thailand&#039;s largest collection of recycled art, created by artists from waste collected nationwide. ECOTOPIA, the country&#039;s biggest eco-store, stocks more than 110,000 sustainable products, many recycled or upcycled, sourced from around 300 Thai communities and small businesses.</div><div><br></div><div>The project has also brought together more than 30 local communities and global organizations, including the United Nations, World Food Programme, UNDP Biofin and WWF, to exchange knowledge and ideas.</div><div><br></div><div>More than a shopping destination, NEXTOPIA functions as a living laboratory for experimenting and exchanging ideas that retail and real estate developers worldwide could adapt. It marks a strategic evolution for Siam Piwat, transforming the company from a premier retail developer into what it describes as "a global sustainability platform" that links businesses, people and innovation.</div><div><br></div><div>This shift aligns with intensifying global pressure on companies to meet their sustainability commitments under the Paris Agreement, as brands and consumers increasingly demand verifiable environmental action.</div><div><br></div><div>With NEXTOPIA, Siam Piwat is betting that the future of retail lies not just in selling goods, but in creating spaces where sustainability feels tangible, measurable and above all inspiring.</div><div><br></div><div>Setting a new benchmark for co-created, revolutionary retail, NEXTOPIA offers a scalable model that delivers both business value and meaningful impact ? one that can be adopted globally.</div><div><br></div><div>Hashtag: #SiamParagon&nbsp; #NEXTOPIA&nbsp; #Sustainability&nbsp; #PrototypeCity&nbsp; #NetZero&nbsp; #TheEconomist&nbsp; #SustainabilityWeekAsia&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.</div></div> ]]></description>

Regional institutions including the Asian Development Bank have identified digital transformation of financial services and credit infrastructure as a strategic priority across Asia, while rising consumer delinquencies are increasing pressure on banks to modernise servicing and collections operations.</div><div><br></div><div>However, debt collection remains one of banking&#039;s most complex challenges, as lenders struggle to improve recovery rates without damaging customer relationships. AI-driven, human-supported debt collection models are emerging as a potential way forward to help lenders tackle rising credit risk and changing borrower behaviour. TP.ai FAB Collect is designed by training AI on decades of human collections expertise and deploying it where volume demands scale, so human advisors can focus on preserving customer relationships.</div><div><br></div><div>From Recovery to Relationship Management</div><div><br></div><div>TP.ai FAB Collect empowers lenders to operationalise more predictive, customer-centric engagement at scale, moving beyond traditional recovery models without adding friction to the customer experience. Built on TP&#039;s proprietary TP.ai FAB (Foundational AI Backbone) framework, the solution integrates advanced analytics, AI-driven decisioning, and omnichannel engagement to improve recovery outcomes while maintaining compliance and customer trust.</div><div><br></div><div>"We trained our AI on 40 years of human collections expertise. Now it handles the first wave, so our human advisors can focus on the conversations that truly matter. TP.ai FAB Collect has produced results across debt recovery, promise-to-pay and overall customer satisfaction." explains Assaf Tarnopolsky, TP&#039;s Chief Business Development & Customer Officer, APAC.</div><div><br></div><div>When deployed by a leading financial institution, TP.ai FAB Collect&#039;s AI agents achieved a customer satisfaction (CSAT) score that was slightly higher than human agents while also achieving a 40% debt recovery rate. At a leading telecommunications company, AI agents adapted outreach to customers based on local payment behaviour, achieving a 7%-point improvement in the pay-to-contact ratio compared to the human-only model. The solution also improved recovery performance over time while reducing collections costs by 40% compared to a human-only model.</div><div><br></div><div>TP.ai FAB Collect was recognised with a 2026 Artificial Intelligence Excellence Award by the Business Intelligence Group and was named Technology of the Year by the Excellence in Customer Service awards.</div><div><br></div><div>https://www.tp.com/</div><div>https://www.linkedin.com/company/wearetpgroup/</div><div>https://x.com/wearetpgroup</div><div>https://www.facebook.com/wearetpgroup</div><div>https://www.instagram.com/wearetpgroup/</div><div><br></div><div>Hashtag: #TPAPAC&nbsp; #TPaiFAB&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.</div><div><br></div>   ]]></description>

<title>XTransfer Joins in Chile Fintech Forum 2026</title>

<description><![CDATA[<img src=https://antaranusa.com/photo/berita/dir052026/7045_XTransfer-Joins-in-Chile-Fintech-Forum-2026.jpg border=0 hspace=5 align=left width=350 /><div><br></div><div>Brings X-Net to Latin America to Support SME Foreign Trade Payments</div><div><br></div><div>SANTIAGO, CHILE - Media OutReach Newswire - 12 May 2026 - XTransfer, the world&#039;s leading B2B cross-border trade payment platform, participated in the Chile Fintech Forum 2026 as Platinum sponsor and introduced X-Net in Latin America for the first time. X-Net is a globally unified B2B cross-border settlement network and risk management platform designed to connect banks and financial institutions with SMEs, supporting more efficient, secure, and inclusive cross-border payment solutions as China?Latin America trade continues to expand.</div><div><br></div><div>Despite rising trade volumes, SMEs still faced "last-mile" friction in cross-border payments. Fragmented domestic rails and local banking practices often required payments to pass through multiple intermediaries and currencies, increasing cost, processing time, and operational failure points. Reliance on USD settlement further added double-conversion fees and FX constraints that could trap working capital and reduce margin predictability. Meanwhile, tighter fraud controls and stricter Anti-Money Laundering (AML) requirements made compliance checks more complex and harder to scale, which could leave legitimate businesses facing friction with onboarding difficulties, account restrictions, or frozen funds.</div><div><br></div><div>Introducing X-Net</div><div>XTransfer developed X-Net as an infrastructure purpose-built for B2B cross-border trade. The hybrid network works with regulators, banks, and payment institutions to advance standards for fund-flow design, product integration, and risk control. As a settlement and risk-control layer linking financial institutions to import-export enterprises, X-Net aims to standardise collections, payouts, and compliance workflows across participants, helping SMEs access secure, compliant, and seamless payment infrastructure once reserved for multinationals.</div><div><br></div><div>The LatAm market potential</div><div>Latin America is growing and upgrading fast. XTransfer data shows collections from the region rose 94% year-on-year in 2025, outpacing China&#039;s 8% export growth there and signalling a shift toward secure, compliant collections. The XTransfer Export PMI, a sample survey of XTransfer&#039;s 800,000 SME users, selecting over 3,000 companies nationwide, also points to strong fundamentals, with Latin America&#039;s export order index at 56.47 and price index at 57.81 in March 2026, above global readings of 53.85 and 56.15.</div><div><br></div><div>Violas Xiao, Singapore and LatAm CEO of XTransfer, said, "Emerging markets are central to XTransfer&#039;s expansion, and in Latin America. Next, we&#039;ll deepen coverage in Brazil and Mexico while expanding into growth markets like Chile, Colombia, Peru, and Argentina, improving minor-currency liquidity and risk automation so SMEs can pay and collect more predictably and compliantly."</div><div><br></div><div>https://www.xtransfer.com</div><div>https://www.linkedin.com/company/xtransfer.cn</div><div>https://x.com/xtransferglobal</div><div>https://www.facebook.com/XTransferGlobal/</div><div>https://www.instagram.com/xtransfer.global</div><div><br></div><div>Hashtag: #XTransfer&nbsp; #Chile&nbsp; #FintechForum&nbsp; #Crossborder&nbsp; #Payment&nbsp; #SMEs&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.</div>   ]]></description>

Pembukaan UUD 1945 menyatakan bahwa salah satu tujuan bernegara ialah mencerdaskan kehidupan bangsa. Bahkan, Pasal 31 UUD 1945 menjamin hak setiap warga negara untuk memperoleh pendidikan serta mewajibkan negara membiayai pendidikan dasar. Negara juga diperintahkan mengalokasikan sedikitnya 20 persen anggaran untuk sektor pendidikan.</div><div><br></div><div>Besarnya amanat konstitusi tersebut menunjukkan bahwa pendidikan bukan sekadar program pelengkap pembangunan, melainkan fondasi utama masa depan bangsa. Pendidikan yang kuat akan melahirkan sumber daya manusia yang berkualitas, berkarakter, dan mampu membawa negeri ini keluar dari berbagai persoalan sosial maupun ekonomi. Sebaliknya, pendidikan yang lemah akan melahirkan generasi yang rapuh, mudah tertinggal, dan sulit bersaing di tengah perkembangan dunia yang semakin kompleks.</div><div><br></div><div>Namun realitas di lapangan menunjukkan bahwa pendidikan kita masih bergulat dengan berbagai persoalan mendasar. Ketimpangan akses pendidikan masih nyata. Di sejumlah daerah, anak anak harus belajar di ruang kelas yang rusak, kekurangan guru, bahkan menghadapi keterbatasan sarana dasar pembelajaran. Pendidikan yang seharusnya menjadi hak seluruh rakyat, dalam banyak keadaan justru masih terasa seperti privilese bagi mereka yang memiliki akses ekonomi lebih baik.</div><div><br></div><div>Persoalan lain yang tidak kalah mengkhawatirkan adalah tingginya angka putus sekolah. Menteri Pendidikan Dasar dan Menengah Abdul Mu&#039;ti menyoroti tingginya angka anak usia SMA dan SMK yang tidak melanjutkan pendidikan. Banyak di antara mereka terpaksa bekerja lebih awal akibat tekanan ekonomi keluarga. Ketika anak kehilangan kesempatan belajar, yang hilang bukan hanya masa depan individu, tetapi juga potensi besar bangsa di masa mendatang.</div><div><br></div><div>Fenomena ini menunjukkan bahwa persoalan pendidikan di Indonesia tidak bisa dilepaskan dari persoalan ekonomi masyarakat. Masih banyak keluarga yang harus memilih antara memenuhi kebutuhan hidup sehari hari atau mempertahankan pendidikan anak mereka. Dalam situasi seperti ini, pendidikan akhirnya dipandang sebagai beban biaya, bukan sebagai investasi jangka panjang untuk masa depan.</div><div><br></div><div><div>Di tengah persoalan tersebut, arah kebijakan pendidikan tinggi juga memunculkan kegelisahan baru. Wacana penutupan program studi yang dianggap tidak sesuai kebutuhan industri memperlihatkan adanya pergeseran orientasi pendidikan yang semakin pragmatis. Pendidikan perlahan dipandang terutama sebagai alat penyedia tenaga kerja bagi pasar.</div><div><br></div><div>Padahal pendidikan memiliki fungsi yang jauh lebih besar daripada sekadar memenuhi kebutuhan industri. Pendidikan adalah ruang pembentukan karakter, penguatan moral, dan pembangunan peradaban. Ketika pendidikan terlalu diarahkan pada logika pasar, maka ada risiko besar manusia hanya diposisikan sebagai instrumen ekonomi, bukan sebagai pribadi utuh yang memiliki akhlak, tanggung jawab sosial, dan visi kemanusiaan.</div><div><br></div><div>Jika orientasi pendidikan hanya berfokus pada kebutuhan industri, maka ilmu pengetahuan akan diukur semata dari nilai ekonominya. Program studi yang dianggap tidak menghasilkan keuntungan pasar akan dipandang tidak penting. Padahal suatu bangsa tidak hanya membutuhkan tenaga kerja, tetapi juga membutuhkan pemikir, pendidik, peneliti, budayawan, dan tokoh masyarakat yang mampu menjaga arah moral serta identitas peradaban bangsa.</div><div><br></div><div>Karena itu, cita cita Indonesia Emas 2045 tidak cukup hanya dibangun dengan jargon generasi unggul. Generasi emas tidak lahir semata dari kemampuan teknis dan kecerdasan akademik, melainkan juga dari kekuatan karakter dan moralitas. Sayangnya, berbagai kasus kekerasan, perundungan, hingga pelecehan seksual di lingkungan pendidikan justru menunjukkan bahwa dunia pendidikan kita sedang menghadapi krisis nilai yang cukup serius.</div><div><br></div><div>Kasus kasus tersebut menjadi alarm bahwa pendidikan belum sepenuhnya berhasil membangun lingkungan belajar yang aman dan beradab. Sekolah dan kampus seharusnya menjadi tempat tumbuhnya ilmu dan akhlak, bukan ruang yang justru melahirkan ketakutan maupun trauma bagi peserta didik. Karena itu, pendidikan karakter tidak boleh hanya menjadi slogan dalam kurikulum, tetapi harus benar benar diwujudkan dalam budaya pendidikan sehari hari.</div><div><br></div><div>Masalah pendidikan juga tidak bisa dilepaskan dari lemahnya budaya literasi. Pengurangan anggaran perpustakaan di sejumlah daerah berpotensi memperlemah kebiasaan membaca di kalangan pelajar. Padahal literasi merupakan fondasi penting untuk melahirkan generasi yang kritis, kreatif, dan inovatif. Sulit membayangkan lahirnya generasi unggul jika akses terhadap bahan bacaan dan lingkungan belajar yang sehat justru semakin terbatas.</div><div><br></div><div>Di sisi lain, persoalan kesejahteraan tenaga pendidik juga belum sepenuhnya terselesaikan. Masih banyak guru honorer yang menerima penghasilan jauh dari layak, padahal mereka memegang peran penting dalam membentuk masa depan bangsa. Ketimpangan kesejahteraan ini bukan hanya menyangkut keadilan bagi guru, tetapi juga berdampak langsung terhadap kualitas pendidikan secara keseluruhan.</div><div><br></div><div>Kita tentu harus memahami bahwa pendidikan sejatinya bukan sekadar proses transfer ilmu pengetahuan. Pendidikan adalah proses membentuk manusia. Karena itu, ukuran keberhasilan pendidikan tidak cukup hanya dilihat dari angka kelulusan atau serapan kerja, tetapi juga dari lahirnya manusia yang beradab, bertanggung jawab, dan memiliki integritas moral.</div><div><br></div><div>Dalam konteks inilah Islam menawarkan paradigma pendidikan yang lebih menyeluruh. Islam menempatkan ilmu sebagai jalan kemuliaan sekaligus sarana membangun peradaban. Tujuan pendidikan dalam Islam bukan hanya mencetak manusia yang cerdas secara intelektual, tetapi juga membentuk kepribadian yang utuh dan bertakwa.</div><div><br></div><div>Pendidikan Islam mengajarkan bahwa ilmu harus melahirkan tanggung jawab kepada Allah SWT dan kepada sesama manusia. Dengan landasan itu, pendidikan tidak hanya menghasilkan tenaga profesional, tetapi juga manusia yang memiliki akhlak mulia, kejujuran, kepedulian sosial, dan keberanian menjaga kebenaran.</div><div><br></div><div>Sejarah membuktikan bahwa peradaban Islam pernah melahirkan ilmuwan besar di berbagai bidang tanpa kehilangan dimensi moral dan spiritualnya. Pendidikan tidak diarahkan sekadar untuk kepentingan ekonomi, tetapi juga untuk membangun kekuatan umat dan kemaslahatan manusia secara luas.</div><div><br></div><div>Karena itu, momentum Hardiknas seharusnya menjadi pengingat bahwa pendidikan tidak boleh kehilangan ruhnya. Negara harus hadir bukan hanya melalui angka anggaran, tetapi juga melalui keseriusan membangun sistem pendidikan yang adil, berkualitas, dan bermartabat. Sebab bangsa yang besar tidak hanya dibangun oleh generasi yang terampil bekerja, tetapi oleh generasi yang berilmu, berakhlak, dan memiliki arah hidup yang benar.***(<b>Penulis adalah Praktisi Pendidikan di Kota Dumai</b>)</div></div>   ]]></description>

<title>CGTN: Hari Ibu: Bagaimana para ibu heroik menginspirasi Xi Jinping</title>
<link>https://antaranusa.com/antaranusa-business/CGTN--Hari-Ibu--Bagaimana-para-ibu-heroik-menginspirasi-Xi-Jinping</link>
<description><![CDATA[<img src=https://antaranusa.com/photo/berita/dir052026/8924_CGTN--Hari-Ibu--Bagaimana-para-ibu-heroik-menginspirasi-Xi-Jinping.jpg border=0 hspace=5 align=left width=350 /><div>BEIJING, May 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hari ini diperingati sebagai Hari Ibu. CGTN menerbitkan sebuah artikel khusus yang menyoroti kisah inspiratif para ibu di Tiongkok yang mengabdikan diri tanpa pamrih bagi anak-anak mereka dan negara. Kisah ini menegaskan besarnya peran seorang ibu dalam membentuk generasi masa depan. Secara khusus, artikel tersebut mengulas ikatan mendalam antara Presiden Tiongkok Xi Jinping dan ibundanya, Qi Xin, yang menunjukkan bagaimana sikap patriotisme, ketangguhan, dan gaya hidup sederhana Qi Xin, yang tercermin melalui tutur kata maupun keteladanan pribadinya, turut membentuk nilai-nilai, pendekatan tata kelola, serta filosofi kepemimpinan presiden Xi yang berorientasi pada rakyat.</div><div><br></div><div>"Di dunia yang besar ini, saya mungkin ibarat sehelai bulu kecil. Meski demikian, saya ingin bulu kecil ini membawa harapan akan perdamaian," tulis He Zhihong, seorang tentara penjaga perdamaian asal Tiongkok yang gugur saat bertugas pada usia 35 tahun, dalam buku hariannya. Ia gugur dalam gempa bumi saat menjalankan misi pemeliharaan perdamaian PBB di Haiti, meninggalkan seorang putra berusia 4 tahun, suami tercinta, serta kedua orang tuanya yang telah lanjut usia.</div><div><br></div><div>Selama penugasannya, ia memimpin satu regu pasukan pemeliharaan perdamaian perempuan serta menjadi penerjemah bagi delegasi Tiongkok yang berkunjung. Ia juga berinisiatif menggelar kegiatan pertukaran budaya dan kemah terbuka untuk mempererat kerja sama dengan unit-unit pemeliharaan perdamaian lainnya. Di samping itu, ia mengajarkan bahasa Mandarin kepada para pelajar setempat, yang menumbuhkan sikap saling pengertian antarbudaya.</div><div><br></div><div>Sebagai sosok ibu yang heroik, pengorbanannya meninggalkan kesan mendalam di hati hadirin ketika Presiden Tiongkok Xi Jinping menyampaikan kisahnya dalam pidato pada Sesi Debat Umum Sidang Majelis Umum PBB ke-70 di New York pada bulan September 2015.</div><div><br></div><div>Kisahnya menjadi salah satu dari banyak cerita mengharukan tentang para ibu di Tiongkok yang kerap disampaikan presiden Xi selama bertahun-tahun. Tokoh lainnya antara lain Zhao Yiman (1905?1936), seorang martir nasional yang dihormati dan dieksekusi oleh pasukan Jepang pada usia 31 tahun setelah mengalami penyiksaan keji, serta Deng Yufen (1891?1970), seorang ibu yang memberangkatkan suami dan kelima anaknya ke garis depan pertempuran untuk melawan pasukan militer Jepang.</div><div><br></div><div>Perempuan-perempuan ini tidak hanya menjadi teladan pengabdian dan pengorbanan bagi negara, tetapi juga memperlihatkan betapa besar pengaruh seorang ibu dalam membentuk karakter dan semangat anak-anaknya.</div><div><br></div><div>Xi dan sang ibunda</div><div><br></div><div>Ibunda presiden Xi sendiri, Qi Xin, juga meninggalkan pengaruh yang mendalam bagi anak-anaknya. Ia bergabung dengan Partai Komunis Tiongkok (PKT) pada tahun 1939, melewati berbagai penderitaan dalam perjuangan melawan penjajah Jepang, serta mengabdikan diri selama bertahun-tahun di tingkat akar rumput pada basis-basis revolusioner di pedesaan.</div><div><br></div><div>Dedikasi Qi terhadap kedaulatan dan perdamaian Tiongkok, serta kedekatannya dengan masyarakat kelas pekerja, menjadi sumber inspirasi yang mendalam bagi Presiden Xi.</div><div><br></div><div>Sejak kecil, ibunda Xi telah menanamkan pada diri putranya nilai-nilai patriotisme dan ketangguhan. Suatu ketika, ia pernah menggendong Xi ke sebuah toko untuk membelikan buku tentang Yue Fei, seorang panglima militer abad ke-12 yang dikenal karena kesetiaannya. Qi menceritakan kepada Xi bagaimana ibunda Yue Fei menato punggung putranya dengan kalimat yang bermakna "mengabdi kepada negara dengan kesetiaan sepenuh hati" untuk mendorongnya melawan penjajah asing. Saat Xi bertanya seberapa sakitnya proses tersebut, Qi menjelaskan bahwa meskipun penuh rasa sakit, Yue Fei sangat menghayati maknanya. Sejak saat itu, Xi menjadikan kata-kata tersebut sebagai prinsip panduan dalam kehidupannya.</div><div><br></div><div>Pada 1969, ketika Xi memasuki masa remaja, Qi memberikannya sebuah peralatan jahit sederhana. Ia menyulam tulisan "niang de xin" (hati seorang ibu) dengan benang merah pada alat jahit tersebut. Hadiah tersebut bertujuan untuk memberikan semangat kepada Xi yang bersiap meninggalkan Beijing menuju Desa Liangjiahe di Provinsi Shaanxi, Tiongkok barat laut untuk merasakan langsung kehidupan di desa. Setelah hidup dan bekerja bersama warga desa?makan dan tidur bersama mereka, menggembala domba, memotong rumput, mengangkut pupuk kandang, dan memikul batu bara?Xi mengenang pengalaman tersebut sebagai salah satu pelajaran paling berharga dalam hidupnya, yakni tentang pentingnya mencari kebenaran berdasarkan fakta serta memahami rakyat secara sungguh-sungguh.</div><div><br></div><div>Gaya hidup ibunya yang sederhana dan hemat juga meninggalkan pengaruh yang mendalam bagi Xi. Saat Xi bekerja di Zhengding, Provinsi Hebei di Tiongkok utara, pada awal 1980-an, ia masih menggunakan selimut tambal sulam yang dijahit ibunya lebih dari satu dekade sebelumnya dari lebih dari seratus potongan kain tua. Saat seorang pejabat menawarkan untuk membelikannya selimut baru, Xi menolak dan berkata, "Selimut ini masih bagus."</div><div><br></div><div>Pada Festival Musim Semi 2001, Qi menelepon Xi, yang kala itu menjabat sebagai wakil sekretaris Komite Provinsi Fujian Partai Komunis Tiongkok (PKT) sekaligus Gubernur Fujian. Sang ibu mengatakan memaklumi bahwa putranya tidak dapat pulang ke Beijing untuk berkumpul bersama keluarga, seraya menegaskan bahwa menjalankan pekerjaan dengan baik merupakan wujud bakti terbesar kepada orang tua.</div><div><br></div><div>Dibesarkan dalam lingkungan keluarga seperti itu membuat presiden Xi selalu mengutamakan rakyat. Selama puluhan tahun, ia berpegang teguh pada prinsip bahwa "membawa manfaat bagi rakyat adalah pencapaian terbesar," dengan memperlakukan masyarakat dengan penuh kepedulian layaknya kepada orang tua sendiri serta bekerja tanpa kenal lelah untuk meningkatkan taraf hidup seluruh keluarga di Tiongkok.</div><div><br></div><div>Untuk mengetahui informasi selengkapnya, klik</div><div>https://news.cgtn.com/news/2026-05-10/Mother-s-Day-How-heroic-mothers-inspire-Xi-Jinping-1N1ERJsy5fW/p.html</div><div>Youtube: https://youtu.be/DoDxYgrAX2w</div><div><br></div><div>Kontak: CGTN Digital cgtn@cgtn.com</div><div>Copyright 2026 GlobeNewswire, Inc.</div>   ]]></description>

Some 79% are self-made, compared to 16% who attribute their wealth to a combination of entrepreneurship and inheritance, and just 5% whose wealth is fully inherited.</div><div><br></div><div>The findings point to a structural shift in how global wealth is created and managed. Personal wealth is becoming less tied to any single nation-state, with the world&#039;s richest structuring their lives, assets, and businesses across multiple jurisdictions. This is reflected in how today&#039;s UHNW individuals operate globally: 17% own or partially-own businesses headquartered outside their country of residence, while 34% have pursued higher education outside their birth country - underlining that cross-border mobility is not incidental, but embedded in how modern wealth is built.</div><div><br></div><div>Taken together, the data reveals a clear relationship between mobility and entrepreneurialism. Internationally mobile individuals are more likely to build businesses, pursue opportunities across borders, and generate their own wealth - reflecting a cohort defined by ambition, risk appetite, and access to global markets. Mobility, in this context, is a key enabler of modern wealth creation.</div><div><br></div><div>Cross-Border Lives Become the Norm for the Ultra Wealthy</div><div><br></div><div>While wealth is increasingly cross-border, key global cities continue to dominate as primary hubs for UHNW individuals.</div><div><br></div><div>London remains a prominent hub for UHNW individuals, particularly those in banking and finance, despite mounting headwinds including tighter tax regimes and trade constraints.</div><div><br></div><div>At the same time, the US continues to dominate as the world&#039;s leading wealth center, accounting for around 40% of the global UHNW population (205,000), underlining its enduring appeal even amid shifting political dynamics. However, evolving policy conditions may begin to influence future flows, with previous research by Arton Capital indicating that a third of American millionaires*** have considered leaving the USA due to the impact of Trump&#039;s presidency.</div><div><br></div><div>In the Gulf, Dubai cements its reputation as a "young wealth hub" for global elites, with nearly a fifth (19%) of foreign-born UHNW individuals in the city under 50 years old. Its status, despite ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, highlights a broader trend: UHNW individuals are not retreating from global movement, but becoming more strategic in how and where they deploy it.</div><div><br></div><div>Armand Arton, CEO of Arton Capital, commented: "Global mobility is no longer a byproduct of wealth creation ? it is a strategic asset that underpins it. Today&#039;s most successful individuals are not just building businesses ? they are building access: to markets, talent, education, and long-term security across multiple jurisdictions."</div><div><br></div><div>"What we are seeing is a decoupling of wealth from geography. The most successful individuals are structuring their lives and assets across multiple jurisdictions, reducing reliance on any single country. The next generation of UHNW individuals is thinking beyond single-country solutions, prioritizing flexibility, resilience, and optionality in how and where they live, invest, and grow their wealth. In an increasingly complex world, the ability to move seamlessly across borders is becoming one of the most powerful tools for preserving and creating wealth."</div><div><br></div><div>Moira Boyle, Senior Director, Global Head of Luxury at Altrata, said: "What stands out in this research is the continued rise of entrepreneurial wealth creation at a global level. Nearly 80% of foreign-born ultra wealthy individuals are self-made, reinforcing that today&#039;s wealth is increasingly driven by innovation, ambition, and business building.</div><div><br></div><div>"At the same time, the UHNW population is expanding rapidly, with total wealth and influence set to grow significantly through the end of the decade. For organizations, understanding who these individuals are and how their wealth is created is essential to identifying opportunity, building relationships, and staying competitive in a fast-evolving market."</div><div><br></div><div>Notes to the Editor</div><div><br></div><div>*Ultra High Net Worth defined as individuals with more than $30m in net worth.</div><div><br></div><div>**Foreign-born wealthy are defined as individuals with more than $30m in net worth who were born outside the country in which they now reside and where their primary business (if they have one) is based.</div><div><br></div><div>***Between 9th January 2026 and 14th January 2026, Arton Capital surveyed 1,000 US residents aged 18-70 with a net worth of at least $1 million. 33% of those surveyed said they were more likely to leave the US than they were before the 2024 Presidential election.</div><div><br></div><div>****Global citizens is a title term used interchangeably in the report with foreign-born wealthy</div><div><br></div><div>A photo accompanying this announcement is available at https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/85811040-92fb-42c9-bb5d-92088ad73e53</div><div><br></div><div>Contact: artoncapital@theagencypartnership.com</div><div>Copyright 2026 GlobeNewswire, Inc.</div></div> ]]></description>
