Addentax Group Corp. Initiates Task Force to Investigate Suspected Illegal Trading Activities

Leave a comment

SHENZHEN, China, April 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Addentax Group Corp. (“Addentax” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: ATXG), an integrated service provider focusing on garment manufacturing, logistics service, property management and subleasing, and epidemic prevention supplies, today announced that it plans to assemble a specialized task force to investigate the alleged illegal trading targeting its stock. The Company believes that certain individuals or entities have participated in unauthorized sales of a substantial volume of its shares without securing proper delivery, in violation of the law. This illicit activity seems to be part of a market manipulation scheme designed to artificially depress the value of Addentax’s securities.

In response to these concerns, Addentax is proactively evaluating potential actions, which may include engaging experts with a proven track record in detecting potential fraud, insider trading, and market manipulation related to short-selling activities.

Short selling, a legitimate investment practice, entails an investor borrowing shares from another party and selling them with the intention of repurchasing them at a lower price to make a profit. Conversely, naked short selling, the act of selling shares without first borrowing them, is strictly prohibited under the Securities and Exchange Commission rules.

By engaging in repeated instances of naked short selling, malicious actors can accumulate significant profits and manipulate a stock’s price downward, potentially driving a company towards insolvency. In this situation, all equity is eliminated, and the naked shorts are no longer required to cover their positions.

Addentax remains steadfast in its commitment to conducting a thorough investigation of this matter and will take decisive action to pursue all available legal remedies.

About Addentax Group Corp.

Addentax Group Corp. is an integrated service provider focusing on garment manufacturing, logistics service, property management and subleasing, and epidemic prevention supplies.

Hainan: From a southern island to a Free Trade Port

Leave a comment

BEIJING , April 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — A news report from China.org.cn on Hainan Free Trade Port:

“The spring breeze brushes through Hainan Island.” “Flowers and fruits blossom everywhere”… These refreshing lyrics from the iconic song Please Come to the Ends of the Earth were sung at the 1984 Spring Festival Gala which put Hainan on the radar for the Chinese people. Back then, “spring all year round” and “fragrant flowers and sweet fruits” were the greatest merits of this island. Four years later, Hainan Province was founded and designated as a special economic zone. That’s when the change really started to happen.

2023 marks the 35th year since the establishment of the Hainan Special Economic Zone. What was previously considered “the ends of the earth” to the Chinese people is now a holiday resort destination and home to the world’s largest single duty-free complex and the only circular high-speed railway. In addition, “globalization” has also become a hallmark of Hainan: the Boao Forum for Asia is a consensus building institution permanently based in Hainan that drives cooperation and development for Asia and the world. The China International Consumer Products Expo, which has been held for three years consecutively, provides a platform for countries to share business opportunities in the Chinese market.

2023 also marks five years since the building of a free trade port with Chinese characteristics in Hainan. Since the Law of the People’s Republic of China on the Hainan Free Trade Port came into effect, the combined effect of China’s free trade port policy and the RCEP saw the piloting of CPTPP, DEPA and other international high standard economic and trade rules, culminating in a series of legal, policy and institutional measures to facilitate the port’s full opening up to the international market. At present, three “zero tariff” lists, and the 15% income tax incentives for corporations and individuals are among the over 180 policy instruments that have been rolled out in Hainan. The special administrative measures, or “negative list” for foreign investment has also been slimmed down to 27 items, the shortest in the country.

Hainan sent delegations to visit Japan, Germany, Southeast Asia and other regions to promote investment and held foreign investment symposiums for enterprises — these are some of Hainan’s practical and earnest efforts towards seeking openness and win-win cooperation.

That’s why well-known jewelry brand De Beers Forevermark only took one month to settle in Hainan. Top-tier destination for auctions and private sales Sothetby’s, United States’ General Electric, France’s Kering Group, Singapore’s leading medical group Raffles, Japan’s Lawson and other companies have also poured investment into Hainan. Furthermore, entrepreneurs from Italy, Ghana and other countries have also selected Hainan as their market-entry destination into China.

Currently, Hainan free trade port is preparing for official independent customs operations in 2025, meaning Hainan will turn into a region inside the national border but outside the customs territory of China, which will further highlight connectivity with the world and implement more liberal trade and investment policies.

For 35 years, China has been exploring and innovating in Hainan, becoming more and more open in the process. Welcome to Hainan, where the ocean is pristine and the sand is white, to take advantage of free trade and to pursue a win-win-win future for all.

Malaysia’s First SSD, NEUBE, Enters the High-Performance SSD Market with Server On & PHISON Backing

Leave a comment

Malaysia has always had a complicated history with science and technology. While the country itself has never been seen at the forefront of the industries, its citizens are deeply entrenched in milestone achievements in the industries. One such milestone is the creation and mass production of USB flash drives. Dato’ Pua Khein-Seng, a Malaysian and one of the pioneers of solid state drives (SSDs) used in USBs is looking to change that in the near future.

Dato’ Pua Khein Seng is looking to bring back some of the success he’s had overseas, particularly in Taiwan, to Malaysia. How? He’s embarking on creating Malaysia’s first enterprise SSD and we’re not talking just the fabrication and assembly. He envisions an SSD that is designed, engineered and fabricated in Malaysia. To achieve this, Dato’ Pua is partnering with ServerOn Sdn Bhd, a Malaysian distributor of enterprise and data center-grade hardware.

The partnership will see ServerOn partner with PHISON Electronics Corporation, a Taiwan-based company specialising in storage technologies. As CEO of PHISON, Dato’ Pua is looking to train Malaysian talent to eventually design and create SSDs. The new startup which will be incorporated as part of this partnership will recruit and create job opportunities for Malaysians to be involved in the design and creation of cutting-edge storage technologies.

WhatsApp Image 2023 04 13 at 12.29.28 PM
[Source: Server On & PHISON] Neube SSDs will be available in Q2 2023.

As a first step, ServerOn and PHISON are introducing the first-ever truly Malaysian SSD with NEUBE. Designed and engineered in Malaysia, NEUBE SSDs cater to high-demand workloads and data centres. NEUBE SSDs will be available in popular form factors including 2.5-inch, U.2, M.2 and E1.S. ServerOn will be using these SSDs as an option in their offerings when they come to market later in Q2 2023. Other retailers can also be part of this developing story by getting in touch with Server On.

“NEUBE’s SSDs are built with high-quality materials and advanced error correction technology, which can help prevent data loss and system crashes. This can lead to improved system stability and reduce downtime for the client’s business,” said Dato’ Pua Khein-Seng, CEO of Phison.

That said, Dato’ Pua sees this as only the first step in creating a truly Malaysian product. While Server On and PHISON will collaborate further, he sees government policies and market demand as the biggest hurdles for NEUBE to be successful globally. He stressed, “The only way forward for Malaysia to become a leader in the technology space is for the government to empower the local startups and industry with the right policies. They should also be the pioneers in implementing these policies and adopting Malaysian products such as the newly launched NEUBE SSDs.”

Seal Storage Technology and the University of Utah Announce NASA Climate Data Democratization Partnership

Leave a comment

Over 200TB of NASA climate data is now accessible through the collaboration between Seal Storage Technology and the University of Utah’s Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute (SCI), enabling researchers around the world to access and visualize the data with zero egress fees.

TORONTO and SALT LAKE CITY, April 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — In an effort to democratize data access, decentralized cloud storage provider Seal Storage Technology and the University of Utah’s Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute (SCI) announced today that over 200 terabytes  (TB) of OpenViSUS IDX NASA  atmospheric wind velocity and ocean current datasets are now openly available to researchers globally. The data will be accessible via a Jupyter notebook, which is a digital document that makes it easy to access and visualize data by combining text, code, and visualizations in a single medium. This project is part of SCI’s participation in The National Science Data Fabric  (NSDF), a trans-disciplinary approach to integrated data delivery and access, democratizing data-driven scientific discovery through shared storage, networking, computing, and educational resources.

“The democratization of data is essential to scientific progress, and we are thrilled to partner with the University of Utah to make this possible,” said Seal Storage Technology COO Alex Altman. “Seal’s decentralized cloud storage platform ensures that this valuable data is accessible to researchers around the world, without barriers. We are excited to see the future discoveries and insights that will be made possible by making this important data available and by supporting the mission of NSDF.”

Researchers around the globe will now be able to access the NASA OpenVisus data with zero egress fees as the data is stored on Seal’s decentralized cloud storage platform, which is powered by the Filecoin network. Egress fees are typically charged by centralized cloud storage providers when users want to move or access their data. In contrast, decentralized cloud storage leverages distributed ledger technology to store data at centers across the globe, offering a novel way to store data and remove egress fees. This global distribution ensures that the NASA data is immutable, verifiable, and has a chain of custody.

The data democratization partnership will provide researchers with new ways to access and utilize NASA’s climate data, including navigation via timestamps, fields, and other dimensions. This is made possible by transferring the data from NASA supercomputers to Seal’s platform, which then enables the data to be accessed via a Jupyter notebook. 

“The NSDF project is making significant progress towards more open access to critical cyberinfrastructure,” said Manish Parashar, Director of the Scientific Computing and Imaging (SCI) Institute. “Having shared data cyberinfrastructure at scale, such as what NSDF envisions, can accelerate scientific discovery across a broad range of disciplines. It can also broaden access to the data by new groups of researchers.” 

This dataset is an output of a simulation that combines two models to provide high-resolution data on atmospheric and oceanic variables. The first model is a C1440 configuration of Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS) atmospheric model, whereas the second model is a LLC2160 configuration of the MITgcm model. There are over 10000 timesteps in each output, and each of them has multiple scalar fields such as temperature, snow thickness, east-west velocity, etc. With the help of Jupyter notebooks, researchers are now able to navigate across all timesteps and dimensions of certain fields (e.g. East-west velocity ‘U’) of both the atmospheric dataset and LLC2160 ocean dataset.

“This is a major milestone of the National Science Data Fabric (NSDF) that gives all scientists, engineers, and regular citizens direct access to massive data of major societal importance without needing expensive hardware resources,” said Valerio Pascucci, NSDF Principal Investigator, Professor at Kahlert School of Computing, and Director of the Center for Extreme Data Management and Visualization (CEDMAV) at the University of Utah. “This partnership between academia and industry shows how anyone with a laptop and an internet connection can now visualize and analyze data that until now has been the sole monopoly of a selected few with the special access and training needed to use some of the largest supercomputers in the world.”

Researchers can access the NASA data on the following web dashboard http://chpc1.nationalsciencedatafabric.org:10888/nasa or visualize the data locally by downloading the Jupyter notebook here: http://bit.ly/3MkpVBa. The current 200TB of data constitutes the first installation of this ambitious multi-petabyte project demonstrating the feasibility of the NSDF-SEAL data democratization initiative.
