Shoucheng-Backed Data Center REITs Surge on Market Debut

HONG KONG, Aug 11, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - On August 8, the first batch of data center REITs—Nanfang Range Technology Data Center REIT and Nanfang Wanguo Data Center REIT—officially debuted on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges, both hitting the daily price limit on their first day of trading, closing at RMB 5.850 and RMB 3.9, respectively. Their strong performance marked the official entry of the REITs market into the "tech new infrastructure" arena and underscored the important role of industrial capital in driving the securitization of computing power infrastructure.As a key investor in both projects, Shoucheng Holdings Limited (0697.HK) has once again found itself in the spotlight. Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Beijing Shouyuan Xinrong Investment Co., Ltd., and the Beijing Pingzhun Infrastructure Real Estate Investment Fund under its management, Shoucheng Holdings invested in both Nanfang Wanguo Data Center REIT and Nanfang Range Technology Data Center REIT. This represents not only another precise move in the data center sector but also the latest step in Shoucheng’s broader REITs market strategy.Tapping into the “Computing Power Base” to Capture Digital Economy GrowthAccording to public information, the Nanfang Wanguo Data Center REIT is backed by the Guojin Data Cloud Computing Center in Huaqiao, Kunshan, with 4,192 racks; the Nanfang Range Technology Data Center REIT is backed by the A-18 Data Center at Runze (Langfang) International Information Port, located in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei National Computing Hub, with 5,897 racks and an occupancy rate exceeding 99%. Both assets are core regional computing power resources, playing a vital role in supporting 5G, artificial intelligence, and big data applications.Industry experts note that the launch of data center REITs marks the first time that public REITs in China have covered the technology innovation infrastructure segment, facilitating more efficient allocation of computing resources and enhancing the capital market’s ability to serve the digital economy.Full-Chain Deployment: Building a Closed-Loop REITs EcosystemShoucheng’s involvement in the REITs market has long gone beyond single investments. Since becoming one of the largest strategic investors in China’s inaugural public REITs in 2021, the company has built a complete ecosystem covering “Pre-REITs industrial fund incubation — platform operations — public REITs exit — strategic placement investment.”Currently, Shoucheng’s REITs fund management scale exceeds RMB 30 billion, with investments spanning transportation hubs, urban renewal, green energy, and data centers. In 2025 alone, the company has invested in the Sunlon REIT and the Huadian REIT, and through the Beijing Pingzhun Infrastructure Real Estate Investment Fund, partnered with China Life Investment and Caixin Life Insurance to launch a RMB 10 billion Pingzhun Infrastructure Fund, further strengthening its position as a leading industrial capital player in the REITs market.Industrial Capital Advantage: Driving Sustainable Market DevelopmentAs an industrial capital investor, Shoucheng Holdings not only provides funding but also leverages its expertise in asset management, operations, and integration of intelligent infrastructure to enhance both the operational efficiency and long-term value of underlying assets. This “capital + operations” dual empowerment model differentiates the company from pure financial investors in the REITs market.Analysts believe that with the ongoing expansion of China’s public REITs market and the acceleration of securitization in emerging infrastructure such as data centers, Shoucheng Holdings is well-positioned to benefit from the convergence of “new tech infrastructure + REITs” and to consolidate its leadership in the sector.Posted by All Way Success Company Limited for Shoucheng Holdings www.shouchengholdings.com [HKSE:0697, FRA:SHVA, OTCPK:SHNHF] Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

This recognition underscores its end-to-end innovation capability, from core technology development to industrial implementation.Riding the Global Inference Wave: Securing Long-Term Value in AI ChipsAs the proportion of inference computing in the total lifecycle cost of large models continues to rise, surging application demand will dramatically expand the scale of inference computing needs, creating a historic opportunity for the AI industry. According to the CIC Report, the market size of AI inference chip-related products and services industry in China is expected to reach RMB1,383.0 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 53.4% from 2024 to 2029. In particular, the NPU-powered market size is projected to climb to RMB395.4 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 72.3% from 2024 to 2029, significantly outpacing the overall market.Under the guideline of the advanced algorithm-to-silicon chip design methodology, Intellifusion, a pioneer in the high-potential market, has established an integrated software-hardware technical capability that creates a self-reinforcing virtuous cycle. Its products and services have been validated across multiple critical application scenarios, positioning Intellifusion as an industry frontrunner. According to the CIC Report, Intellifusion is a global top-three leader in full-scenario AI inference chip-related products and services in China, based on the relevant revenue in 2024. Intellifusion is also a top-two provider of NPU-powered AI inference chip-related products and services in China, based on the relevant revenue in 2024.Leveraging its IFIC Infrastructure, R&D capabilities in AI inference chips, and deep market insight, Intellifusion can respond quickly to changes in industrial demands and grasp the opportunity in the upcoming boom in AI inference chip-related products and services industry. Supported by policy tailwinds, growing application maturity, and semiconductor supply chain localization trends, Intellifusion is strategically positioned to capitalize on China’s golden window for domestic AI chips, emerging as both a key beneficiary and driver in the global recomposition of AI compute power.In summary, Intellifusion has not only achieved full autonomy from self-developed architectures to ecosystem development but also made breakthroughs across market expansion, technological innovation, and product commercialization, establishing a difficult-to-replicate end-to-end advantage. Should its Hong Kong IPO proceed smoothly, at the time of listing, Intellifusion could potentially become China’s first and only artificial intelligence company with a dual A+H listing (Shanghai + Hong Kong). This milestone would fully unlock cross-border M&A opportunities, allowing Intellifusion to aggregate global resources, attract top-tier AI talent worldwide, and further solidify its leadership in China’s AI industry, particularly in the inference chip segment.

Everest Medicines Announces Full Approval of NEFECON(R) in Taiwan

HONG KONG, Aug 8, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Everest Medicines (HKEX 1952.HK) recently announced the Taiwan Food and Drug Administration (TFDA) has approved the supplementary application for NEFECON(R). NEFECON(R) is indicated to reduce the loss of kidney function in adults with primary immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) who are at risk for disease progression, irrespective of proteinuria levels.With this label update, the previous requirement in accelerated approval stage to submit full confirmatory trial analysis to demonstrate clinical benefit has been formally removed. Additionally, data demonstrating NEFECON(R)’s efficacy in delaying kidney function decline has been included in the approved product label. IgAN is highly prevalent among Asian populations, with a 56% higher risk of progression to end-stage renal disease compared to other groups and often progresses more rapidly.Taiwan region became the last region across all Everest’s territories to grant full approval for NEFECON(R), together with Mainland China, Singapore, Macao SAR, Hong Kong SAR and South Korea. This further demonstrates NEFECON(R)’s foundational first-line cornerstone treatment for IgAN patients."NEFECON(R) has received full approval in Taiwan, further validating its outstanding clinical value and offering physicians a more solid clinical foundation for treatment decisions.” Rogers Yongqing Luo, Chief Executive Officer of Everest Medicines, said. “As the first and only fully approved etiological treatment for IgAN, NEFECON(R) has now achieved full approval across Asia. This milestone will benefit a broader patient population by enabling more individuals with IgAN to access this etiological treatment earlier, helping to slow disease progression and improve quality of life. We will continue to expand the accessibility and affordability of NEFECON(R) across Asia, aiming to benefit more IgAN patients and improve their quality of life."The approval is based on the global Phase 3 NefIgArd clinical trial, which showed that compared to placebo, it not only brought about a durable reduction in proteinuria and reduced the frequency of microscopic hematuria but also demonstrated clinically relevant and statistically significant treatment benefits in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), reducing the decline in kidney function by 50% over a period of 2 years, comprising 9 months of treatment and 15 months of observation, and potentially delaying the progression to dialysis or kidney transplantation by 12.8 years.Additionally, the complete 2-year data of the NefIgArd study further analyzed the potential differences in the response to NEFECON(R) treatment between Asians (n=83) and Caucasians (n=275). The results showed that compared to placebo, treatment with NEFECON(R) for 9 months in both Asians and Caucasians can significantly delay the decline of eGFR, protect kidney function, and bring about a sustained reduction in proteinuria and reduce the risk of microscopic hematuria.NEFECON(R) has been recommended by several authoritative treatment guidelines, including the “KDIGO 2024 Clinical Practice Guideline for the Management of Immunoglobulin A Nephropathy (IgAN) and Immunoglobulin A Vasculitis (IgAV) (Public Review Draft)”, and the "Clinical Practice Guideline for IgA Nephropathy and IgA Vasculitis in Chinese Adults (For Public Review)". NEFECON(R) was included in China’s National Reimbursement Drug List (NRDL) in November 2024, and the supplemental application for the production expansion of NEFECON(R) has been officially approved by NMPA in August 2025.NEFECON(R) is currently the world’s first IgAN treatment to have received full approval from the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) in China, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the European Medicines Agency (EMA), the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency(MHRA)in the United Kingdom , as well as in other Asian territories where Everest Medicines holds the rights, including Hong Kong SAR, Macao SAR, Taiwan region (China), Singapore, and South Korea.

Saudi Electricity Company Reports 22% Net Profit Growth in Q2 2025

RIYADH, KSA, Aug 11, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) continued to deliver robust financial and operational performance in the second quarter and first half of 2025.Revenue for Q2 grew by 24% to reach SAR 27.7 billion, while gross profit rose by 42% to SAR 7.4 billion. Operating profit increased by 21% to SAR 6.8 billion, and net profit reached SAR 5.3 billion-marking a 22% year-on-year increase.For the first half of 2025, SEC reported a revenue growth of 23%, totalling SAR 47.2 billion. Gross profit rose by 40% to SAR 10.2 billion, operating profit increased by 20% to SAR 9.1 billion, and net profit grew by 19% to SAR 6.3 billion compared to the same period in 2024.This strong financial performance was primarily driven by higher allowed revenue due to the growth of the regulated asset base of the electricity network and increased electricity production revenues in response to rising energy demand. These gains were partially offset by higher operating and maintenance expenses due to network expansion, asset growth, and increased loads, as well as a rise in provisions for accounts receivable and a decrease in other income.SEC noted that the expansion of its regulated asset base reflects the continued growth in its transmission and distribution networks to meet increasing electricity demand, support renewable energy integration, and advance energy storage projects. The company is also maintaining strategic investments in digital transformation and operational excellence initiatives.Commenting on the results, Engineer Khalid bin Salim Al-Ghamdi, Acting CEO of SEC, stated:"Our positive performance in the first half of 2025 reflects the company's continued growth across its business portfolio and asset base. It aligns with our strategy to provide reliable and secure electricity across the Kingdom, improve service quality for our customers, and advance sustainability and operational excellence.We are committed to further strengthening our position and leveraging the significant opportunities emerging from the energy transition in Saudi Arabia, in line with the ambitions of Vision 2030-enabled by the dedication of our talented national workforce and our unwavering commitment to serving the nation."As of the end of H1 2025, the renewable energy capacity connected to the grid exceeded 9.2 GW, and the company successfully commissioned 8.0 GWh of battery energy storage systems across four sites: Bisha, Jazan, Khamis Mushait, and Najran.SEC is currently developing an additional 14 GWh of storage capacity, expected to be operational and grid-connected next year, further strengthening grid reliability and renewable energy integration.Reaffirming its commitment to embedding sustainability throughout its operations and enhancing its ESG practices, SEC achieved a significant leap in its Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) rating from S&P Global, earning 65 out of 100 in 2025. This marks a 30% increase over2024 and an 85% improvement over 2023.This accomplishment places SEC at the top of all companies in Saudi Arabia and as the regional leader in the energy sector across the Middle East and North Africa, surpassing the global utilities sector average by 66%, reinforcing its global leadership in sustainability performance.Electricity demand continued to rise in H1 2025, with peak load growing by 3% to 75.1 GW, and total electricity consumption increasing by 10% to reach 160.5 terawatt-hours.SEC successfully met record-breaking peak loads in Makkah, Madinah, and the Holy Sites during the 1446H Hajj season without a single service interruption-thanks to the company's full mobilization of resources to serve pilgrims and ensure their comfort.The company also made strong progress in service expansion and infrastructure development. SEC connected around 110,000 new customers, bringing the total customer base to 11.4 million.The length of the distribution network grew by 6% to exceed 827,000 circuit kilometers, while transmission and fiber optic networks grew by 6% and 9%, respectively, reaching 103.8 thousand and 101 thousand circuit kilometers.As part of its efforts to enhance service reliability and customer experience, SEC continued digital infrastructure upgrades and automated distribution substations, connecting them to control centers via fiber optic networks.The automation rate of distribution substations reached 38.4%, and customer satisfaction rose to 85.8%, underscoring improvements in service quality and communication effectiveness.Contact InformationSaudi Electricity Company (SEC) Saudi Electricity Company (SEC)Media Relations Departmentalkahrabacare@se.com.saUnified Call Center: 920000222SOURCE: Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Chinese Culinary Culture Training Programme: 30 Hong Kong Students Embarked on a Study Tour in Chaoshan

HONG KONG, Aug 8, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - ‘A Thousand Years of Chaozhou Flavour, A Legacy Passed Down Through Generations.’ As one of the three major branches of Cantonese cuisine, Chaozhou cuisine is distinguished by its refined techniques and delicate seafood dishes, with an emphasis on the purity of flavour and meticulous preparation, all reflecting a deep-rooted cultural heritage. In this spirit, and to encourage the exchange of culinary skills, the Greater Bay Area Homeland Youth Community Foundation once again partnered with the Chinese Culinary Institute to launch the ‘Chinese Culinary Culture Training Programme — Chaoshan Edition’. From 26 July to 2 August, a group of about 30 students and faculty members travelled to Shantou to immerse themselves in the essence of Chaoshan cuisine and directly engage with its rich intangible heritage.Building on the success of last year’s ‘Lingnan Culture: Fengcheng Dim Sum Training Programme’, this year's initiative took students to another culinary heartland — Shantou. The programme was conducted in collaboration with Guangdong Yuedong Technician College, a prestigious institution known for cultivating master chefs in Cantonese cuisine, and was supported by the Teochew Cuisine Research Institutes. The classes, led by nationally and provincially accredited chefs, including the renowned Teochew culinary master ZHONG Chengquan, covered traditional techniques such as braising, boiling, stir-frying, steaming, stewing, baking, and deep-frying. Students also gained firsthand experience with the intangible cultural heritage, specifically Chaoshan Gongfu Tea.A Curriculum that Blended Culinary Training with Cultural ImmersionDuring the eight-day programme, students learned to prepare a wide range of classic Teochew dishes, from appetisers and main courses to snacks and desserts. Culinary highlights included crab in fermented soybean sauce, Teochew marinated meats, braised duck with herbs, stir-fried beef with rice noodles, crispy oyster pancake, roast goose with yam paste, flash-fried squid rolls, traditional steamed fish, braised eel, sesame dumplings, and deep-fried spring rolls. This hands-on training strengthened the students' knowledge of authentic Chaoshan culinary techniques and flavours.The programme also offered cultural excursions that deepened students’ understanding of local heritage, including visits to the Chaoshan History and Culture Exhibition Centre and the Teochew Cuisine Research Institute, along with a live Yingge Dance performance — another of China’s intangible cultural heritage traditions.Ms Dionne KUNG, Deputy CEO of the Greater Bay Area Homeland Youth Community Foundation, and Mr James YAP Han-phong, Principal of the Chinese Culinary Institute, visited the training site to offer encouragement to the students. Ms Kung expressed that the GBA Youth Foundation has a longstanding commitment to supporting experiential learning and cross-regional exchange for youth. She noted that this invaluable opportunity to learn from master chefs not only enabled students to appreciate the essence of Chaoshan cuisine but also enhanced their comprehension of Chinese culture and strengthened their sense of national identity through meaningful engagement.Mr James YAP Han-phong, Principal of the Chinese Culinary Institute, shared, ‘Chaoshan cuisine emphasises precision in knife skills, heat control, and balanced ingredient pairing. Through hands-on learning and exchanges with experienced chefs, students not only refined their culinary techniques but also deepened their appreciation of Chinese food culture. This experience broadened their horizons and laid a solid foundation for their future professional growth.’Mr CHEN Shaojun, Founder of the National-level Chaoshan Cuisine Culinary Master Studio at Guangdong Yuedong Technician College, remarked, ‘Chaoshan cuisine embodies a craftsmanship spirit passed down through generations. The enthusiasm and dedication displayed by the Hong Kong students during the programme are inspiring. We look forward to future collaborations that will further promote Chaoshan culture and introduce it to a broader stage.’XU Kin Cheung, a year 2 student from the Chinese Culinary Institute's Diploma in Chinese Cuisine (QF Level 3) programme who participated in this training, shared, ‘This experience enhanced my knowledge of Chaoshan cuisine, from its precise cooking techniques to its refined approach to flavour. I hope to incorporate these insights into my own creations back in Hong Kong and help more people discover the unique charm of Chaoshan culinary culture.’Through the Chinese Culinary Culture Training Programme, the GBA Youth Community Foundation aims not only to enhance the skills of young people pursuing careers in the culinary arts, but also to foster their appreciation for and commitment to preserving and promoting the richness of Chinese culinary heritage.Ms Dionne Kung, Deputy CEO of the Greater Bay Area Homeland Youth Community Foundation visited the training site to offer encouragement to the students.Students from the Chinese Culinary Institute demonstrated dedication and enthusiasm during the training programme.This programme is in collaboration with Guangdong Yuedong Technician College, Mr James Yap Han-phong, Principal of the Chinese Culinary Institute, also visited the training site to engage with college representatives and culinary instructors.Students also took part in cultural learning activities, including a live performance of the Yingge Dance, one of China’s intangible cultural heritage traditions.
