BEIJING, Jan. 4, 2021 — WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc. (Nasdaq: WIMI) ("WiMi" or the "Company"), a leading Hologram AR Technology provider in China, today announced that it obtained the China Compulsory Certification (the "CCC") for its hologram soft light cinema headset. According to the certification documents, which include the electromagnetic compatibility test report, safety test report, and CCC product test report, the Company’s model WMH0D3 portable media player has passed all tests and successfully obtained CCC.

Due to the increasing emphasis on product quality and safety among consumers in the Chinese market, manufacturers continue to improve their product quality. Meanwhile, as the Chinese government continues to refine its policies and certification requirements to strengthen the supervision of product safety and quality, companies have also increased their demands for testing services.

Among these certifications, the CCC is a product evaluation system implemented by the Chinese government as a protection for consumers’ personal health and safety, the environment, and national security. To obtain the CCC, products must comply with Chinese national standards and related technical specifications. Before they can be produced, imported, and sold for public use, products listed in the CCC product catalog must undergo mandatory tests and audits in accordance with compulsory product certification procedures, obtain relevant certifications, and display these certifications on the product package.

In order to better address customer demands, the Company released the hologram soft light cinema headset. The headset has been greatly enhanced in regards to image color management, device connection, and wearing experience. In terms of image color management, the headset offers customers more transparent colors with more delicate picture quality by leveraging its powerful image processing engine in cooperation with SONY. In addition, customers can also connect headsets with drones and professional cameras. The headset’s use of far-focus imaging technology also significantly optimizes customers’ wearing experience by relieving any eye fatigue caused by long-term, short-distance image viewing.

Dada Group Leads in One-Hour Delivery as Chinese E-Commerce Grows Amid the Pandemic and Beyond

January 4, 2021 TechENT Syndication Leave a comment

Service Benefits Brands, Retailers and Consumers in First through Fourth Tier Cities

SHANGHAI, Jan. 4, 2021 — Dada Group (Nasdaq: DADA) ("Dada" or the "Company"), China’s leading local on-demand delivery and retail platform, is offering one-hour delivery to customers across China. Since the onset of COVID-19, the e-commerce industry in China has grown significantly and an increasing number of consumers prefer to have goods delivered directly to their home. Today, as COVID-19 restrictions are eased and consumers begin to return to normal shopping habits, this preference for on-demand consumption remains unchanged.

Dada Group developed its on-demand retail services over the past 6 years, empowering and creating value for its partners. Dada Group’s 2020 third quarter financial report shows its geographical and category expansion, as well as the Company’s growing number of partnerships. Philip Kuai, Dada Group’s Founder, Chairman and CEO, noted in an interview with Bloomberg TV in October last year that the home delivery services provided by Dada Group have been expanding in recent years, with COVID-19 as a catalyst.

Dada Group has a presence in first through fourth-tier cities and consumption patterns in lower-tier cities are different from those in first-tier cities. Consumers in lower-tier cities tend to have lower incomes, but face minimal pressures from housing loans and living expenses. Price-sensitive consumers also seek quality products and young people in lower-tier cities have spending power like those in first and second-tier cities.

JDDJ, Dada’s on-demand retail platform, partners with more than 100,000 merchants nationwide to provide high-quality products, ensuring consumer demand across a variety of categories. Dada Now, Dada’s local on-demand delivery platform, offers one-hour delivery services for high-quality goods to consumers in lower-tier cities.

According to Bain & Company and Tencent Smart Retail’s report "Turning COVID-19 into Opportunity and Acquiring Customers: Construction of Self-Controlled Traffic Platform of Brands," consumer behavior in the wake of COVID-19 shows a trend toward "going online." China Securities pointed out in its research report that as the on-demand delivery industry grows, we usher in an era of everything being delivered to the home. Consumers have developed a habit of shopping online, and many consumers choose "home delivery business" for fresh food and daily necessities, helping retailers and brand owners attract customers and ensure repeated orders.

About Dada Group

Dada Group is a leading platform of local on-demand retail and delivery in China. It operates JDDJ, one of China’s largest local on-demand retail platforms for retailers and brand owners, and Dada Now, a leading local on-demand delivery platform open to merchants and individual senders across various industries and product categories. The Company’s two platforms are inter-connected and mutually beneficial. The Dada Now platform enables improved delivery experience for participants on the JDDJ platform through its readily accessible fulfillment solutions and strong on-demand delivery infrastructure. Meanwhile, the vast volume of on-demand delivery orders from the JDDJ platform increases order volume and density for the Dada Now platform. In June 2020, Dada Group began trading on the Nasdaq Global Market, under the ticker symbol "DADA."

CGTN: After ‘extraordinary’ 2020, what are Xi Jinping’s expectations for 2021?

January 4, 2021 TechENT Syndication Leave a comment

BEIJING, Jan. 4, 2021 — 2021, a year that marks the beginning of China’s new five-year plan period and the 100th founding anniversary of the Communist Party of China (CPC), is knocking at the door.

jwplayer.key=”3Fznr2BGJZtpwZmA+81lm048ks6+0NjLXyDdsO2YkfE=”

jwplayer(‘myplayer1’).setup({file: ‘https://mma.prnasia.com/media2/1393641/Chinese_President_Xi_Jinping_gives_2021_New_Year_address.mp4?p=medium600’, image: ‘http://www.prnasia.com/video_capture/3235634_AE35634_1.jpg’, autostart:’false’, aspectratio: ’16:9′, stretching : ‘fill’, width: ‘600’, height: ‘338’});

What are Chinese President Xi Jinping’s expectations for 2021, especially after the country’s hard-won achievements in 2020?

Clues can be found in his New Year address.

2021: ‘Striving is the only way forward’

China will enter a new stage of development to build a modern socialist country in an all-round way in 2021, as the CPC leadership has adopted proposals for formulating the 14th Five-Year Plan and long-range goals.

"The road ahead is long; striving is the only way forward," Xi said in his address, calling for efforts to set up a new pattern for development to be accelerated, deeply implementing high-quality development and further deepening reform and expanding opening-up.

Rising above virus test, China’s top leaders set the economic priorities for 2021 in the key Central Economic Work Conference held in December, stressing that China will keep its macro policies consistent, stable and sustainable in 2021, with continued implementation of a proactive fiscal policy and prudent monetary policy.

In 2021, the country will take a solid first step in building the new development paradigm in which domestic and foreign markets reinforce each other, with the domestic market as the mainstay.

A comparison of China’s key tasks for 2020 and 2021

Meanwhile, the president stressed the need to keep working hard to promote rural vitalization as the country has achieved decisive success in eradicating extreme poverty in 2020.

In the next five years, efforts will be made to consolidate achievements in the fight against poverty and fully promote the strategy of rural vitalization, according to the CPC Central Committee’s proposed major social and economic development targets for the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-2025).

To realize all these goals, upholding the Party leadership is the most fundamental guarantee, Xi has said on many occasions.

In his New Year address, Xi described the Party as a gigantic vessel that leads China forward steadily with people’s expectations and the hope of the nation and stressed the importance of "original aspiration."

The CPC was founded with an original aspiration: the mission to seek happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation, and has remained committed to the people-centered philosophy of development.

The CPC’s original aspiration is even firmer 100 years later, Xi said.

2020: ‘Extraordinary’ in various areas

Looking back at 2020, the president described the year as an "anti-epidemic epic" and devoted much of his address to highlighting China’s all-out people’s war against COVID-19.

"Greatness is forged in the ordinary. Heroes come from the people. Every person is remarkable!" Xi said, before sending his sympathies to all those infected with the coronavirus.

In September, three outstanding medical professionals were conferred the national honorary title "the People’s Hero," while a total of 1,499 individuals, 500 groups, 186 CPC members and 150 primary-level Party organizations were commended for their roles in fighting the epidemic, and another 14 Party members were posthumously awarded.

Remembering the medical professionals we’ve lost to coronavirus

Meanwhile, China has participated actively in several global meetings to provide the international community with solutions and experiences, such as the G20 virtual summit on COVID-19, the summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), China, Japan and South Korea (ASEAN Plus Three or APT) on COVID-19, and a special ASEAN-China Foreign Ministers’ meeting on the outbreak.

President Xi also reviewed China’s achievements in various areas.

China is the first major economy worldwide to achieve positive growth in 2020, and its GDP is expected to step up to a new level of 100 trillion yuan. China has seen a good harvest in grain production for 17 years in a row, according to the president.

China’s GDP growth in 2020 expected to be 1.9% by IMF

Within eight years, under the current standard, China has eradicated extreme poverty for the nearly 100 million rural people affected, and all the 832 impoverished counties have shaken off poverty, he added.

China has seen breakthroughs in scientific explorations like the Tianwen-1 (Mars mission), Chang’e-5 (lunar probe), and Fendouzhe (deep-sea manned submersible). Construction of the Hainan Free Trade Port is proceeding with vigor, Xi said.

The president also recalled the unforgettable memories in 2020, including his inspections of 13 provincial-level regions, the 40th anniversary of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone and his phone calls with friends from the international community to combat the pandemic.

Xi’s ‘cloud diplomacy’ in the first half of 2020 instills global confidence

As the pandemic is still ravaging the world, President Xi highlighted the significance of a community with a shared future for mankind, especially for the post-pandemic world.

MiniTool Releases Partition Wizard 12.3: Add Portuguese & Enhance Data Recovery

January 1, 2021 TechENT Syndication Leave a comment

VANCOUVER, BC, Jan. 1, 2021 — MiniTool just released Partition Wizard 12.3 on December 28, 2020, which is the third cumulative update this year. This update has Portuguese language package added and the Data Recovery feature upgraded to its latest build.

Portuguese Added

As a cutting-edge disk partitioning utility for Windows computers, MiniTool Partition Wizard is always making efforts to expand its user groups worldwide and improve its user experience.

Before this update, Partition Wizard has already supported English, Japanese, German, French, Italian, Korean and Spanish. This time, MiniTool Partition Wizard 12.3 adds Portuguese option, which helps the program gain popularity worldwide further.

Updated Data Recovery

This update upgrades the Data Recovery feature to the latest build, which adds the following two main features: the ability of scanning specific locations, and the ability of recognizing and recovering data from exFAT partitions.

1. Recover Data from Specific Locations

Before this update, the Data Recovery feature allows users to scan a specific partition, unallocated space, and the entire hard disk drive. This time, the update adds the Specific Location feature, allowing users to scan computer Desktop, Recycle Bin, and a particular folder, computer SD card. This helps recover data more accurately and faster.

2. Fully Support exFAT Partitions

The Data Recovery feature allows users to recover data from various file systems, even though the file system is not recognized. For those recognizable file systems, the Data Recovery module will label them in the scanning result. But for those unrecognizable file systems, MiniTool Partition Wizard will list them under the RAW file group.

Partition Wizard 12.3 adds the ability of recognizing exFAT partitions to the Data Recovery feature, allowing users to find and save data more easily from the scanning results, especially if the data that users want to retrieve is in exFAT partitions. Currently, MiniTool Partition Wizard Data Recovery feature can recognize NTFS, FAT, and exFAT file systems.

More Improvements

MiniTool Partition Wizard also brings some small improvements and bug fixes.
