Peran Turki dalam NATO berada di bawah sorotan di tengah laporan baru mengenai hubungan Hamas dan Ikhwanul Muslimin

April 1, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - FIRST ON FOX: Sebuah laporan baru menimbulkan kekhawatiran tentang peran Turki di Timur Tengah, yang menyatakan bahwa di bawah Presiden Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, negara ini telah menjauh dari alignmen Barat tradisionalnya dan menuju keterlibatan yang lebih dalam dengan gerakan Islamis, termasuk Muslim Brotherhood.Laporan Foundation for Defense of Democracies, yang dipimpin oleh senior fellow Sinan Ciddi dan berjudul "Islamist Domination of Turkey: A Forward Base for Muslim Brotherhood-Aligned Jihadism," menyatakan bahwa Turki memiliki hubungan dengan Hamas — kelompok teroris yang ditunjuk oleh AS yang bertanggung jawab atas pembantaian 7 Oktober — serta dengan Muslim Brotherhood — gerakan Islamis yang afiliasinya baru-baru ini ditunjuk sebagai organisasi teroris oleh Amerika Serikat — membuat kebijakan Turki menjadi sorotan kembali saat ia bersiap untuk menjadi tuan rumah KTT NATO.Ciddi memberitahu Digital bahwa pergeseran ini mencerminkan transformasi yang lebih luas dalam cara Turki mendefinisikan ancaman."Apa yang kita miliki adalah Turki telah sepenuhnya menulis ulang aturan tentang bagaimana Anda menafsirkan apa yang bisa menjadi entitas teroris jihadis," kata Ciddi. "Erdoğan telah menciptakan kembali apa yang dianggap sebagai entitas teroris … kelompok seperti Hamas atau al-Nusra sesuai dengan pandangan pan-Islamisnya tentang dunia."Fokus utama laporan ini adalah hubungan Turki dengan Hamas, yang Amerika Serikat tunjuk sebagai organisasi teroris, namun Hamas memperluas kehadirannya di Turki setelah 2011, mendirikan kantor dan jaringan di dalam negeri."Sejak tahun 2011 ke depan … Hamas menggunakan kesempatan ini di dalam Turki dengan pemerintah yang ramah untuk mendirikan kantor, melakukan rekrutmen (dan) penggalangan dana," kata Ciddi.Otoritas AS telah mengambil tindakan terhadap beberapa jaringan tersebut. Departemen Keuangan (Treasury Department) telah menunjuk individu dan entitas yang terkait Hamas yang beroperasi di Turki, sebuah poin yang menurut Ciddi menekankan kekhawatiran yang telah ada sejak lama."Departemen Keuangan Amerika Serikat telah melacak dan menunjuk LSM dan individu yang afiliasi dengan Hamas di dalam Turki," katanya.Laporan ini juga menuduh bahwa beberapa operasi Hamas telah dapat bepergian menggunakan dokumen yang dikeluarkan oleh Turki dan bahwa tokoh-tokoh senior telah diterima secara publik oleh Erdoğan.Di luar Hamas, laporan ini menggambarkan Turki sebagai pusat bagi tokoh Muslim Brotherhood dari seluruh wilayah, termasuk Mesir dan Yaman, banyak di antaranya yang pindah ke sana setelah penindakan di negara asal mereka.Di berbagai bagian dunia Arab, Muslim Brotherhood telah dilarang atau dibatasi selama bertahun-tahun.Mesir melarang gerakan ini pada tahun 2013, menuduhnya mengincar kerusuhan dan merusak institusi negara. Arab Saudi dan Uni Emirat Arab kemudian menunjuknya sebagai organisasi teroris, menggambarkannya sebagai ancaman terhadap stabilitas nasional, sementara Bahrain mengadopsi sikap serupa.Yordania melarangkan cabang lokalnya tahun ini setelah penangkapan yang menurut otoritas terkait dengan aktivitas senjata ilegal.Beberapa negara Eropa juga telah mengambil langkah-langkah menargetkan jaringan yang terkait dengan gerakan ini.Österreich, misalnya, telah melakukan tindakan hukum terhadap individu dan organisasi yang menurutnya terhubung dengan aktivitas terkait Brotherhood sebagai bagian dari kebijakan anti-ekstremisme.Pejabat di negara-negara ini telah berargumen bahwa Brotherhood beroperasi melalui campuran outreach keagamaan, aktivisme politik, organisasi amal, dan platform media untuk mempengaruhi opini publik dan menantang otoritas negara.Laporan ini juga mengkaji peran Turki di Suriah, di mana negara ini mendukung pasukan oposisi selama perang sipil, mendukung berbagai fraksi bersenjata, termasuk kelompok yang kemudian membentuk Tentara Nasional Suriah (Syrian National Army)."Tentara Nasional Suriah … adalah kumpulan militias yang beragam yang secara langsung dipersenjatai, dibayar, dan diorganisir oleh Turki," katanya.Laporan ini menghubungkan dukungan Turki dengan kelompok seperti al-Nusra dan Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, menimbulkan pertanyaan di antara analis tentang apakah hubungan semacam itu bisa mengekspos pejabat Turki ke sanksi potensial menurut hukum AS.Meskipun ada kekhawatiran ini, analis lain mengatakan hubungan Turki dengan Amerika Serikat terus berperan sebagai pembatas perilakunya, sementara hubungan antara Donald Trump dan Presiden Turki Recep Tayyip Erdoğan telah dicirikan oleh kepercayaan baru, dengan Trump memuji peran Erdoğan dalam diplomasi Gaza.Saat Trump merayakan perjanjian gencatan senjata Gaza di Sharm el-Sheikh, Mesir pada Oktober 2025, ia menyoroti satu pemimpin untuk pujian luar biasa — Erdoğan, yang kepemimpinannya ia k kreditkan membantu menyampaikan gencatan senjata Gaza."Seorang pria yang telah menjadi teman saya selama lama. Saya tidak tahu mengapa saya lebih suka orang yang tangguh daripada yang lembut dan mudah," kata Trump tentang Erdoğan di KTT Sharm el-Sheikh pada Oktober 2025. "Tuan ini dari tempat bernama Turki adalah salah satu orang paling kuat di dunia … Dia orang yang tangguh — tapi dia teman saya."Hişyar Özsoy, politisi dan akademisi Turki, menggambarkan hubungan antara Erdoğan dan Trump sebagai "transaksional", mencatat bahwa Washington sering bergantung pada Turki untuk koordinasi regional.Di webinar kebijakan yang diselenggarakan oleh Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security, akademisi Turki Hüseyin Bağcı menekankan bahwa Ankara tetap terkait erat dengan Washington."Negara Turki tidak tertarik berperang dengan Israel karena pemerintah Turki memiliki hubungan yang sangat baik dengan Amerika Serikat," katanya. "Anda tidak bisa baik dengan Amerika dan kemudian berselisih dengan Israel."Bağcı juga menyarankan bahwa Turki terkadang membatasi aktor Islamis secara domestik."Hari ini apakah Anda mendengar apa-apa tentang Muslim Brotherhood?" katanya. "Tidak … karena presiden berkata berhenti."Turki, anggota NATO sejak 1952, tetap menjadi mitra kunci untuk Amerika Serikat, menyediakan akses logistik, kapabilitas militer, dan jangkauan diplomatik.Tetapi Ciddi berargumen bahwa lintasan saat ini Turki semakin menyimpang dari prioritas aliansi."Ada catatan jejak yang sudah terbukti … di mana Turki secara signifikan merusak keprihatinan keamanan inti aliansi transatlantik," katanya.Ia menunjuk pada sanksi AS terhadap entitas Turki yang dituduh memasok barang ganda penggunaan (dual-use goods) ke Rusia, serta strategi lebih luas Ankara untuk mempertahankan hubungan dengan kekuatan yang bersaing.Sejauh positioning Turki di tengah ketegangan dengan Iran, Ciddi mengatakan Turki kemungkinan akan lebih menyukai rezim Iran yang lemah daripada keruntuhan total yang bisa menghasilkan pemerintah yang lebih pro-Barat."Rezim Iran yang lemah adalah pilihan paling aman Erdoğan," katanya.Bağcı memberikan penilaian serupa tentang persaingan tersebut."Iran bukan musuh Turki, tetapi tidak necessarily sahabat terbaiknya. Turki dan Iran adalah dua pesaing regional," katanya.Laporan ini merekomendasikan respons kebijakan AS potensial, termasuk sanksi dan peningkatan pengawasan terhadap sistem keuangan Turki, langkah-langkah yang bisa mengubah hubungan antara Washington dan Ankara.

Tantangan Pemulihan Nike Berita

Tantangan Pemulihan Nike

April 1, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - Ramalan keuangan terbaru Nike telah menimbulkan kekhawatiran di kalangan investor, menunjukkan bahwa perputaran yang dinantikan perusahaan mungkin masih jauh dari kenyataan. Raksana pakaian olahraga yang dikenal global dengan logo swoosh ikoniknya, diharapkan menunjukkan tanda-tanda pemulihan setelah menghadapi beberapa tantangan operasional dalam beberapa tahun terakhir. Namun, panduan terkininya justru menggambarkan situasi yang berbeda. Manajemen perusahaan sebelumnya berharap bahwa perubahan strategis, termasuk perbaikan rantai pasokan dan fokus pada saluran penjualan langsung ke konsumen, akan diterjemahkan menjadi kinerja keuangan yang lebih kuat. Namun, realitas yang tercermin dalam prospek pendapatan mereka menunjukkan bahwa inisiatif-inisiatif ini belum menghasilkan hasil yang diharapkan. Salah satu masalah kritis yang mempengaruhi pemulihan Nike adalah gangguan yang berkelanjutan dalam rantai pasokan global. Meskipun telah berupaya menyederhanakan operasi, perusahaan terus menghadapi penundaan dan peningkatan biaya, yang diperburuk oleh ketegangan geopolitik dan pembatasan terkait pandemi. Hal ini telah menyebabkan ketidaksesuaian antara ketersediaan produk dan permintaan konsumen, yang berdampak negatif pada penjualan. Selain itu, kinerja Nike di pasar utama seperti China kurang memuaskan. Perusahaan telah menghadapi persaingan ketat dari merek lokal yang berhasil mendapatkan pangsa pasar signifikan dengan menarik sentimen nasionalisme dan menawarkan produk yang disesuaikan dengan harga kompetitif. Hal ini memberi tekanan pada Nike untuk berinovasi dengan cepat dan mempertahankan daya tarik mereknya di lingkungan yang sangat dinamis. Investor juga mengawasi secara ketat upaya transformasi digital Nike. Meskipun perusahaan telah membuat kemajuan dalam meningkatkan kehadiran online-nya, laju adopsi digital tidak merata. Beberapa wilayah telah mengadopsi platform e-commerce dengan kuat, sementara yang lain tertinggal, menciptakan ketidakkonsistenan dalam aliran pendapatan di berbagai pasar. Analis keuangan telah menyatakan kekhawatiran tentang kemampuan Nike untuk mengelola pengeluaran secara efektif dalam lanskap yang menantang ini. Komitmen perusahaan terhadap keberlanjutan dan sumber etis, meskipun patut dipuji, telah memperkenalkan biaya tambahan yang perlu diseimbangkan dengan tujuan profitabilitas. Kinerja saham Nike telah mencerminkan tantangan-tantangan ini, dengan fluktuasi yang menggambarkan sentimen investor dan kondisi pasar. Saham perusahaan, yang diperdagangkan dengan simbol NKE di Bursa Efek New York, telah mengalami volatilitas sebagai respons terhadap pengumuman pendapatan dan tren ekonomi yang lebih luas. Ke depan, kepemimpinan Nike tetap optimis tentang potensi jangka panjang dari inisiatif strategis mereka. Mereka telah menegaskan kembali komitmen mereka terhadap inovasi, keberlanjutan, dan transformasi digital sebagai pilar inti untuk pertumbuhan di masa depan. Namun, mencapai tujuan-tujuan ini akan membutuhkan pengatasi hambatan yang signifikan dan mempertahankan kelincahan dalam lanskap pasar yang terus berkembang. Kesimpulannya, meskipun Nike terus menjadi pemain dominan di industri pakaian olahraga global, panduan terkininya menunjukkan bahwa jalan menuju pemulihan mungkin lebih sulit daripada yang awalnya diantisipasi. Investor dan pemangku kepentingan akan memantau secara ketat upaya perusahaan untuk menavigasi tantangan ini dan memenuhi janjinya akan pertumbuhan dan inovasi.

Saham Tesla (TSLA) Menguat, Namun Prospek Pengiriman Menjadi Ujian Utama Kekuatan Permintaan EV

April 1, 2026
Ringkasan; Saham Tesla naik sejalan dengan penguatan pasar yang lebih luas, namun fokus investor beralih ke kinerja pengiriman Q1 sebagai indikator permintaan. Analis memperkirakan pertumbuhan pengiriman yang moderat, namun perkiraan tetap lemah di tengah persaingan EV yang semakin ketat dan tren perlambatan permintaan global. Taruhan jangka panjang Tesla pada AI, robotaxi, dan ekspansi energi kontras dengan tekanan jangka pendek dari penurunan dominasi kendaraan. Sentimen pasar bergantung pada apakah Tesla dapat menstabilkan pengiriman dan mempertahankan margin di tengah meningkatnya diskon dan persaingan. (SeaPRwire) - Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) mengakhiri sesi perdagangan Selasa dengan kenaikan sekitar 4–5%, mengikuti reli yang lebih luas di seluruh ekuitas AS. Lonjakan ini menyusul pemulihan kuat pada S&P 500 dan Nasdaq, seiring reaksi positif investor terhadap meredanya ketegangan geopolitik dan membaiknya sentimen risiko di seluruh saham teknologi. Namun, terlepas dari dorongan jangka pendek tersebut, pergerakan saham ini tidak banyak mengubah narasi dominan seputar Tesla. Investor dengan cepat mengalihkan perhatian mereka dari momentum pasar yang lebih luas dan kembali ke angka pengiriman kuartalan perusahaan mendatang, yang tetap menjadi indikator yang paling diawasi ketat untuk permintaan mendasar bagi raksasa kendaraan listrik tersebut. Meskipun saham Tesla cenderung bereaksi tajam terhadap reli yang didorong oleh faktor makro, para analis mencatat bahwa fundamental spesifik perusahaan, terutama pengiriman kendaraan, terus memainkan peran yang jauh lebih menentukan dalam membentuk tren valuasi jangka menengah. Angka Pengiriman Menjadi Pusat Perhatian Laporan pengiriman Q1 Tesla mendatang kini dipandang sebagai peristiwa utama yang membentuk ekspektasi investor. Estimasi pasar menunjukkan pengiriman bisa mendarat di kisaran pertengahan 360.000, mencerminkan pertumbuhan tahun-ke-tahun yang moderat namun masih di bawah puncak kuartalan sebelumnya. Tesla, Inc., TSLA Posisi ini menyoroti kekhawatiran yang lebih luas: meskipun Tesla tetap menjadi merek EV paling dikenal di dunia, lintasan pertumbuhannya menjadi kurang dapat diprediksi. Pengiriman kendaraan menurun tahun lalu, dan bahkan proyeksi saat ini menunjukkan momentum pemulihan yang terbatas. Pentingnya data pengiriman diperkuat oleh identitas Tesla yang terus berkembang. Meskipun Elon Musk terus mendorong perusahaan lebih dalam ke kecerdasan buatan (AI), robotika, dan mengemudi otonom, basis pendapatan utamanya tetap sangat bergantung pada penjualan kendaraan. Akibatnya, setiap penyimpangan dalam kinerja pengiriman cenderung segera membentuk kembali sentimen investor. Persaingan yang Meningkat Menekan Prospek Pertumbuhan Tesla menghadapi persaingan yang semakin ketat di semua wilayah utama, terutama di Eropa dan China, di mana produsen lokal dengan cepat memperluas jejak mereka. Data pasar terbaru menunjukkan registrasi Tesla di Eropa sedikit meningkat dari tahun ke tahun, namun produsen mobil saingan, terutama BYD, tumbuh dengan kecepatan yang jauh lebih tinggi. Di China, penetapan harga yang kompetitif dan penskalaan produksi yang agresif dari pembuat EV domestik terus menantang pangsa pasar Tesla. Sementara itu, produsen mobil tradisional seperti Volkswagen dan Stellantis terus meningkatkan penawaran listrik mereka, yang semakin memperketat lanskap kompetitif. Analis berpendapat bahwa pembaruan inkremental pada model inti Tesla, termasuk Model 3 dan Model Y, mungkin tidak cukup untuk mempertahankan pertumbuhan permintaan yang kuat. Hal ini berkontribusi pada revisi turun dalam prakiraan pengiriman untuk tahun 2026, dengan beberapa proyeksi sekarang menunjukkan stagnasi yang berkelanjutan atau bahkan kontraksi satu tahun lagi. Pergeseran Strategis Menuju Teknologi Masa Depan Di luar penjualan kendaraan, Tesla semakin memposisikan dirinya sebagai perusahaan teknologi yang lebih luas. Investasi dalam mengemudi otonom, sistem AI, penyimpanan energi, dan robotika terus berkembang, dengan miliaran dolar dialokasikan untuk proyek-proyek seperti pengembangan Cybercab dan robotika humanoid. Pembangkitan dan penyimpanan energi juga muncul sebagai segmen pertumbuhan yang berarti, mencatatkan rekor pendapatan dalam beberapa kuartal terakhir. Namun, bisnis-bisnis ini masih belum cukup besar untuk mengimbangi volatilitas dalam kinerja otomotif. Pada saat yang sama, pertanyaan tetap ada mengenai risiko eksekusi. Kemajuan Tesla dalam mengemudi sepenuhnya otonom terus diawasi secara ketat, terutama karena pesaing seperti Waymo memperluas pengujian dunia nyata dan penyebaran komersial dengan kecepatan yang lebih cepat.Artikel ini disediakan oleh penyedia konten pihak ketiga.

Israel Setuju Undang-Undang Hukuman Mati yang Mengejutkan untuk Terorisme, Uni Eropa Mengutuk Langkah Ini Informasi

Israel Setuju Undang-Undang Hukuman Mati yang Mengejutkan untuk Terorisme, Uni Eropa Mengutuk Langkah Ini

April 1, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - JERUSALEM: Parlemen Israel, Knesset, pada hari Senin meloloskan undang-undang yang mewajibkan hukuman mati bagi teroris Palestina yang dihukum karena tindakan terorisme mematikan, menimbulkan kemarahan dari negara-negara Eropa dan seorang pemimpin oposisi Israel.Anggota parlemen memberikan suara 62-47 mendukung undang-undang Menteri Keamanan Nasional sayap kanan ekstrem Itamar Ben Gvir yang menetapkan hukuman mati dengan gantung. Ben Gvir dan partainya, Otzma Yehudit, mengusulkan langkah ini.Anggota parlemen Otzma Yehudit Tzvika Foghel, yang memimpin Komite Keamanan Nasional dan memajukan rancangan undang-undang melalui komite di bawah kepemimpinannya, mengatakan kepada Digital bahwa warga Israel sudah muak dengan kebijakan penahanan dan kompromi."Selama terlalu banyak tahun, kami telah mencoba memuaskan seluruh dunia, bahkan ketika kami dibunuh di jalan-jalan kami. Sejak 7 Oktober, kami telah beralih ke pendekatan ofensif agar kami bisa menentukan realitas di masa depan," katanya.Foghel mengatakan hukuman mati bagi teroris adalah bagian dari pergeseran yang lebih luas di Israel, didorong oleh pengakuan bahwa tidak ada negara lain yang menghadapi realitas dalam menghadapi terorisme Islam radikal di Gaza, Lebanon, Yudea dan Samaria (Tepi Barat), serta di Yaman dan Iran."Hukuman mati bagi teroris yang membakar, memperkosa, melukai, dan menyiksa anak-anak dan orang tua adalah hukuman yang sama seperti yang kami tetapkan untuk Nazi," katanya.Kaja Kallas, Wakil Tinggi Uni Eropa untuk Urusan Luar Negeri dan Kebijakan Keamanan, mengatakan, "EU memiliki posisi prinsip menentang hukuman mati dalam semua kasus dan dalam semua keadaan. Israel telah lama menegakkan moratorium de facto baik untuk eksekusi maupun sentensi hukuman mati, sehingga menjadi contoh di wilayah tersebut meskipun lingkungan keamanan yang kompleks."Dia menambahkan, "Persetujuan Rancangan Undang-Undang Hukuman Mati oleh Parlemen Israel menandakan regresi serius dari praktik itu dan dari komitmen Israel sendiri. Kami sangat khawatir tentang karakter diskriminatif de facto dari Rancangan Undang-Undang ini."Israel hanya pernah menerapkan hukuman mati satu kali dalam sejarah negaranya untuk pembunuh massal Nazi Adolf Eichmann pada tahun 1962. Hukuman mati ada di undang-undang Israel, tetapi pengadilan Israel memiliki batasan kebebasan untuk menerapkan eksekusi pada kasus di luar hukuman bagi penjahat perang Nazi.Mantan Perdana Menteri dan pemimpin partai sentris Yesh Atid saat ini, Yair Lapid mengatakan undang-undang ini secara fundamental cacat karena tidak berlaku untuk teroris Hamas yang terlibat dalam pembantaian 7 Oktober 2023 yang membunuh 1.200 orang."Undang-undang ini bukanlah penampilan kekuatan; ini adalah tanda panik. Undang-undang ini lebih ekstrem daripada apa pun di Amerika Serikat, dan mereka tahu ini akan dibatalkan oleh hukum. Ini bukan undang-undang untuk keadilan atau pencegahan, ini adalah undang-undang untuk hubungan masyarakat," tambahnya.Anggota parlemen Likud Dan Illouz, seorang pendukung undang-undang ini, mengatakan kepada Digital bahwa peristiwa 7 Oktober menekankan, menurut pandangannya, perlunya mencegah teroris melihat penculikan warga sipil sebagai cara yang layak untuk mendapatkan pembebasan militan yang dipenjarakan."Hukuman mati menghancurkan persamaan itu. Ini berfungsi sebagai pencegahan utama, memastikan bahwa teroris tahu bahwa tindakan mereka hanya mengarah pada kematian mereka sendiri, bukan pembebasan yang dinegosiasikan. Kami adalah bangsa yang mencintai kehidupan, tetapi untuk melindungi kehidupan, kami harus berhadapan secara tegas dengan mereka yang berusaha menghancurkannya," katanya."Suara mendukung Perdana Menteri Netanyahu sangat penting. Ini menyampaikan pesan kekuatan dan kejelasan moral yang tidak dapat disalahartikan dari puncak kepemimpinan Israel. Dengan secara pribadi memberikan suaranya, Perdana Menteri menunjukkan kepada musuh kami, dan seluruh dunia, bahwa pemerintah kami sepenuhnya bersatu dan tidak menyerah dalam tekad kami untuk memberantas terorisme dan melindungi warga kami," tambahnya.Komentator politik Channel 12 Israel, Amit Segal, menulis bahwa dia mendukung "mengeksekusi teroris yang mencoba membunuh warga sipil — terutama monster-monster 7 Oktober," tetapi mengkritik undang-undang Ben Gvir.Dia menulis dalam buletinnya, "Undang-undang mendefinisikan terorisme sebagai tindakan 'untuk meniadakan keberadaan negara,' definisi yang bisa berlaku untuk kelompok seperti fraksi Haredi ekstrem dan anggota kekerasan 'Hilltop Youth' (yang didukung Ben-Gvir.)Segal mengatakan bahwa "meskipun undang-undang Ben-Gvir pada dasarnya adalah aksi kampanye, undang-undang yang lebih bertanggung jawab sedang melalui sistem. Diusulkan oleh MK Simcha Rotman dan Yulia Malinovsky, undang-undang ini menetapkan mekanisme praktis — prosedural dan bukti — untuk memastikan hukuman bagi teroris Nukhba, setelah itu hukuman mati bisa diterapkan."Anggota parlemen Likud lainnya, Amit Halevi, mengatakan kepada Digital bahwa elemen utama undang-undang ini adalah perbedaan antara pelanggaran kriminal dan kejahatan terhadap negara atau terhadap kemanusiaan."Seorang teroris melakukan kejahatannya sebagai bagian dari ideologi yang bertujuan membunuh, menindas, dan mengendalikan semua orang Yahudi. Teroris ini, jika bisa, akan membunuh setiap satu dari kami. Mereka adalah pembunuh ideologis, dalam kategori yang berbeda dari kriminal biasa, dan itu adalah poin kritis dari rancangan undang-undang ini," katanya.Halevi menambahkan bahwa upaya lebih lanjut diperlukan untuk secara jelas membedakan kejahatan terhadap negara, termasuk apa yang termasuk dalam kategori itu dan apa yang tidak."Secara umum, undang-undang ini adalah langkah ke arah yang benar. Sebagian besar kritik yang saya dengar berkaitan dengan kriminal biasa. Orang-orang tidak memahami musuh — siapa dia dan apa tujuan perang ini," katanya.Artikel ini disediakan oleh penyedia konten pihak ketiga.

WinSpirit Partners With The Digital Wellness Center to Support Player Well-Being iGame

WinSpirit Partners With The Digital Wellness Center to Support Player Well-Being

April 1, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - For a long time, responsible gaming has largely involved advising players to quit, but the sector is gradually realizing this approach is insufficient. WinSpirit's new collaboration with The Digital Wellness Center adopts a different perspective. Rather than issuing warnings, players are offered brief mental pauses integrated into their gameplay. These small interruptions aim to assist users in maintaining control without diminishing their enjoyment. The Digital Wellness Center operates at the intersection of technology and psychological well-being. They develop tools to alleviate cognitive strain and promote mindful engagement with digital products. Their method is distinctly devoid of judgment, preaching, or limitations, offering only practical assistance that aligns with real-world online behavior. How It Works WinSpirit implements gentle wellness nudges instead of imposing restrictions on players. After a user has been engaged for an extended duration, they get a concise, amicable email. This message serves not as an alert, but as a simple prompt, inviting them to a specially crafted page developed by The Digital Wellness Center. This page showcases a droodle—an odd, abstract drawing without a correct or incorrect interpretation. A droodle poses a single question: what do you see? It has no time limit, no points, and no definitive answer, but it prompts a quick mental switch, taking the brain off autopilot and engaging a different thought process. Its simplicity is key to its effectiveness. The objective is not to draw players away from the game, but to enable them to return to it with a clearer, less impulsive mindset. Conventional responsible gaming tools often operate on a principle of reduction: play less, spend less, exit sooner. WinSpirit bases its strategy on a different concept: the player's mental condition is what influences their choices. Brief, deliberate pauses are intended to help them resume play feeling more composed, in command, and less impulsive. The focus is not on restricting the player, but on managing the immediate context. Initiative Highlights The partnership is being launched over a two-month period through structured waves of communication, targeting players during critical moments: extended playing streaks and periods of high-frequency activity, when the potential for hasty choices peaks. Players are then directed to co-branded wellness landing pages designed for deceleration without disconnection. The tools provided are deliberately lightweight. Activities like doodling encourage slower cognitive processing, alongside quick self-assessment surveys and simple mental refresh games. These are the sorts of breaks a person might naturally choose to take. Early Results Initial findings from the first communication wave indicate genuine user engagement. Players opened the emails, clicked through to the wellness materials, and finished the self-check exercises. A number of users even came back for a subsequent interaction on their own. This reaction suggests not so much astonishment, but rather that a previously unmet need is finally being fulfilled. This receptiveness ties into a larger evolution in WinSpirit's operational philosophy. The platform's AI-driven support system already handles over half of its 50,000+ monthly player inquiries, with part of its role being to identify behavioral trends before they escalate. The wellness alliance pushes this rationale a step further—transitioning from responsive assistance to a model more akin to proactive prevention. Industry Recognition This methodology is beginning to attract attention outside the platform. Casino Guru's nomination of WinSpirit for the Rising Star in Responsible Gambling award signifies more than just a single company's project. It represents an early indicator that the industry is starting to acknowledge a move away from compliance-focused communication toward well-being features embedded within the product experience. This is not a specialized trial but a trend the wider market is following. For WinSpirit, this collaboration is not an isolated event. It is a component of a broader statement that responsible gaming and entertainment are compatible. Authentically considering a player's mental state constitutes sound product design. Fostering player well-being, in the end, strengthens trust and sustains long-term involvement. The aim was never to reduce playtime. It was always to enhance the quality of play. A player who feels valued places their trust in the platform, and that has been a largely absent element in the industry. This article is provided by a third-party.

Kate Chambers for Slotegrator: How to cut through clutter in the iGaming industry iGame

Kate Chambers for Slotegrator: How to cut through clutter in the iGaming industry

April 1, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - Modern iGaming leaders must contend with enormous volumes of data, industry analysis, and sector news while making fast, well-informed strategic decisions. Kate Chambers, Founder of The Gaming Boardroom and former Director at Clarion Gaming, has supported industry leaders in navigating this complexity for years. Slotegrator spoke with her about closing the gap between analysis and decision-making, harnessing AI’s power, and why building the right professional relationships is just as important as having access to the right tools. Kate Chambers’ decades of leadership experience, including growing ICE into one of the iGaming industry’s most influential events, reflects her consistent focus on practical value. “The biggest lesson I’ve learned is that people don’t come for content alone; they come for confidence. Whether it’s a conference or a professional platform, what people are really searching for is the certainty that they understand what’s going on, they know what to do next, and they won’t be caught off guard,” she explains. Kate highlights that AI is quietly transforming the iGaming sector — not through flashy customer-facing features, but by making core operations more efficient. She says, “The operators gaining the most benefit right now are those that use AI to lower the cognitive load on their teams.” AI tools that filter, summarise, and flag high-priority information are reshaping how decisions are made, across everything from compliance monitoring to collecting market intelligence. Kate also emphasizes that technology alone is not enough. In her view, business relationships and professional networks remain critical to success: “The most powerful combination we have right now is consistent digital presence, being visible where operators turn when they need answers, paired with selective, high-quality in-person interactions. Neither works well on its own,” she notes. Looking ahead, Kate outlines key trends currently shaping iGaming: growing regulatory complexity, more proactive approaches to responsible gambling, and a rising need for leaders who can help their teams navigate change without losing focus on their core strategy. Read the full interview to learn from Kate Chambers’ experience and insights on cutting through industry noise, leading with confidence, and executing strategy in the rapidly changing iGaming sector.

Honda Makes Gachaco a Consolidated Subsidiary by Subscribing to New Shares of Gachaco Issued Through Third-party Allotment JCN Newswire

Honda Makes Gachaco a Consolidated Subsidiary by Subscribing to New Shares of Gachaco Issued Through Third-party Allotment

April 1, 2026
TOKYO, Japan, Apr 1, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (Honda) today announced that it has subscribed to new shares of Gachaco, Inc. (Gachaco) issued through a third-party allotment (“this transaction”), thereby making Gachaco a consolidated subsidiary of Honda.Gachaco was established in April 2022 as a joint venture of five companies in Japan — Honda, ENEOS Holdings, Kawasaki Motors, Ltd., Suzuki Motor Corporation and Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. — to provide a sharing service of standardized swappable batteries for electric motorcycles and to establish and maintain infrastructure for such sharing services.Since October 2022, Gachaco has been installing Gachaco battery swapping stations primarily in Tokyo, where electric motorcycle users with a Gachaco membership can efficiently swap a depleted battery for a fully charged one whenever needed, without any waiting time for charging. The company has rolled out the service in urban areas of Tokyo, starting with corporate customers and, in January 2024, the service was expanded to individual customers as well. Gachaco has been building out its infrastructure to create an environment where anyone can use electric motorcycles without worrying about charging time and riding range. Currently, the company is expanding its network of Gachaco stations, primarily in Tokyo and Osaka, while also pursuing the establishment of a next-generation energy infrastructure that contributes to a decarbonized and circular society.Honda is striving to achieve carbon neutrality for all products and corporate activities Honda is involved in by 2050, and one of the key initiatives toward this goal is the popularization of electric mobility products. In addition to expanding the lineup of electric models, Honda believes that it is important to build battery charging and supply networks so that people can use their electric motorcycles with peace of mind; therefore, Honda has been considering Gachaco as an important partner for realizing such a future. Going forward, in order to continue to enhance the usage environment for electric motorcycle products, Honda realized that a motorcycle manufacturer needs to take the lead in this initiative. Based on this reasoning, Honda has decided to acquire additional shares in Gachaco.As a subsidiary of Honda, Gachaco will further accelerate its ongoing initiatives to build battery charging and supply networks and work to expand its battery sharing service for users of electric construction machinery and equipment powered by swappable batteries. In addition, Gachaco will work to offer rental and maintenance services for battery swapping stations to be installed on the premises of business facilities of corporate customers with large fleets of electric motorcycles. Through these initiatives, Honda will lead the growth of Gachaco business and establish an environment where more customers can use electric mobility products safely with complete peace of mind.Overview of the transactionClass of subscribed sharesCommon shares of Gachaco Inc.Number of subscribed shares340,000 sharesAmount to be paid340,000,000 yenHonda shareholding ratio after the transaction47%About GachacoCompany nameGachaco Inc.Location4F, THE CORNER Shibakoen,2-8-2 Shibakoen, Minato-ku, Tokyo 1050011, JapanEstablishedApril 1, 2022RepresentativeMasahide Hirose, PresidentShareholdersHonda Motor Co., Ltd.,ENEOS Innovation Partners Godo Kaisha*,Suzuki Motor Corporation,Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd.,Kawasaki Motors, Ltd.,BusinessOperation of battery charging/swapping stations to achieve widespread useand broader applications of standardized swappable batteries*ENEOS Holdings, Inc. has invested in Gachaco through its investment company, ENEOS Innovation Partners Godo KaishaGachaco station Copyright 2026 JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Evoke Plans to Shut 200 William Hill Stores After UK Gambling Tax Hike iGame

Evoke Plans to Shut 200 William Hill Stores After UK Gambling Tax Hike

April 1, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - Evoke Plc informed its employees on Tuesday that it intends to permanently shut down around 200 of its retail locations in the UK. These closures account for approximately 15% of Evoke’s retail portfolio. In a subsequent statement, the company noted that the store shutdowns will begin in May and are part of its broader strategic review, which may include potential asset sales. This move was hinted at prior to the autumn budget, when Chancellor Rachel Reeves announced a substantial increase in the UK’s Remote Gaming Duty and Remote Betting Duty. Evoke’s then-CEO Per Widerström confirmed the decision in January as part of a company trading update. The latter duty entered into force today, while the RBD will be implemented in April 2027. Evoke, which operates roughly 1,300 betting outlets across the country, has been conducting a strategic review since December. The operator is considering options including a partial or full sale, as well as a “range of potential alternatives.” Criticism and tax rises In a statement sent to iGB, an Evoke spokesperson said: “Following a comprehensive review and in light of mounting cost pressures on the regulated sector—including significant tax increases announced by the government in last year’s autumn budget—we will be closing several shops starting in May that are no longer economically sustainable. “We are providing full support to our retail team members impacted by these closures. “These decisions are never made lightly, but amid rising cost pressures, we must take action to ensure we can continue investing in our core retail estate, with the right shops in the right locations.” Several retail operators, including Betfred and Entain, warned that the tax hike could lead to closures across their portfolios. Flutter shut down 57 of its own shops in 2025 due to ongoing retail sector declines. ‘Highly damaging’ for the UK economy In a January analyst note, Deutsche Bank cut Evoke’s FY26 and FY27 EBITDA forecasts by 12% and 18% respectively. Due to high financial leverage, earnings per share are expected to drop by 40% and 52%. The bank projects UK online growth of just 2.5% in FY26 and FY27, with margins falling from 23% in FY26 to 13% by FY27. Stakeholders have speculated about potential buyers for Evoke or some of its assets in the short term. Ben Robinson, managing partner at Corfai, recently told iGB that private equity is the most credible buyer for the group as a whole. However, Robin Chhabra, CEO and president of Tekkorp Capital, believes the best strategic move for Evoke would be to split its international business. “The crown jewel here is the International division; markets like Italy, Spain, Romania and Denmark offer double-digit growth. They are untouched by the chancellor’s new duties. Selling these assets is the only quick route to reduce debt,” he said.

Star Entertainment Secures A$590 Million Refinancing Deal iGame

Star Entertainment Secures A$590 Million Refinancing Deal

April 1, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - The Star Entertainment Group has secured a binding agreement for a A$590 million (roughly US$390 million) refinancing package provided by WhiteHawk Capital. As announced in a filing with the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) on Monday, the deal is designed to fully settle the company's current debt while bolstering its operational liquidity. Liquidity and financial terms This three-year financing arrangement is subject to several conditions, such as the completion of formal finance documentation, the receipt of necessary regulatory clearances, and the finalization of the divestment of the company's stake in the Destination Brisbane Consortium (DBC). Regarding liquidity, the company is required to maintain A$50 million during the first year post-closing. This threshold will rise to A$75 million for the following six months, eventually reaching A$100 million after the 18-month mark. The facility features an interest margin aligned with the group’s prior debt structures. The Star characterized these terms as standard, including typical reporting requirements and default provisions. Not the first rodeo The Star is currently working to stabilize its financial position following a ruling in early March that former executives violated the Corporations Act. Furthermore, the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC) has initiated civil penalty proceedings against the firm, citing alleged systemic failures to comply with anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CTF) regulations, which could result in fines as high as A$400 million. In 2025, Bally’s Corporation and Investment Holdings injected A$300 million into the company, gaining a combined equity stake of approximately 61%. This capital infusion triggered a restructuring of the board and executive leadership. Since that time, the organization has pursued various cost-cutting measures, including the shuttering of a corporate office and the transfer of more operational authority to property-level management teams. Additionally, The Star is moving forward with its plan to withdraw from the Queen’s Wharf Brisbane joint venture, a process that remains contingent upon being released from a parent company guarantee valued at approximately A$700 million.

Gibraltar issues licence to its first prediction markets operator iGame

Gibraltar issues licence to its first prediction markets operator

April 1, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - Gibraltar has issued its first license to a prediction markets operator, as announced by Minister for Justice, Trade and Industry Nigel Feetham in parliament on Tuesday. The minister expressed optimism about the prediction markets sector, stating, “We expect this to be a substantial area of growth for Gibraltar.” He further noted that the new license was granted under existing legislation, as the new Gambling Act had not yet been enacted. “This represents record timing for the issuing of a regulatory licence in Gibraltar,” he added. According to Gibraltar’s gambling license register, Predict Street Ltd was licensed as a betting intermediary on March 26th, operating under the 2005 Gambling Act. The website Predictstreet.io identifies itself as the official prediction market partner for the upcoming Fifa World Cup 2026 and displays a countdown to its launch on April 9th. The company is supported by ADI Chain, a blockchain provider based in Abu Dhabi. Shows Gibraltar’s ability to adapt During his parliamentary address, Feetham highlighted this development as evidence of Gibraltar's capacity for rapid adaptation, particularly in light of recent UK gambling tax increases that have posed a threat to the territory's significant gaming industry, which largely caters to the UK market. “Since the introduction of the recent UK gambling duty increases, I have taken a more direct responsibility for promoting Gibraltar’s regulatory offering,” he stated. The increases in Remote Gaming Duty and Remote Betting Duty, with the former taking effect today, are anticipated to have a considerable impact on Gibraltar, potentially raising the tax rate for operators based there to between 80% and 100%. Gibraltar's gambling sector directly employs approximately 3,500 individuals, according to figures presented in a recent UK parliamentary debate, and contributes roughly one-third of the territory's tax revenue. Feetham previously stated on December 1st, “This is an issue of vital importance to Gibraltar and one that may directly and indirectly affect our public revenues.” Will prediction markets pick up in Europe? Gibraltar is the first European market to directly license a prediction markets operator. Malta, however, announced last week that it is also developing a regulatory framework for this sector. On March 26th, Malta's Economy Minister Silvio Schembri commented that the country was “actively exploring the emerging field of prediction markets, an area experiencing rapid global momentum which presents significant opportunities for innovation.” He emphasized that any legislative changes would require “a clear, forward-looking legislative framework that enables it to develop responsibly and at scale.” In contrast, other markets have adopted a more stringent approach to prediction markets, which are currently under scrutiny from gambling regulators in the United States. Germany and the Netherlands have implemented strict regulations concerning novelty markets in sports betting. Prediction markets are largely considered illegal gambling or unlicensed financial instruments in countries like the Netherlands and France, both of which have blocked the prominent operator Polymarket. Ismail Vali, president of RegTech firm Gaming Compliance International (GCI), recently informed iGB that data on traffic and engagement suggests that prediction markets continue to attract European users despite official prohibitions.

Eksklusif: Sara Netanyahu memperingatkan tentang meningkatnya antisemitism dan pentingnya aliansi Yahudi-Kristen Informasi

Eksklusif: Sara Netanyahu memperingatkan tentang meningkatnya antisemitism dan pentingnya aliansi Yahudi-Kristen

April 1, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - EKSKLUSIF: Sara Netanyahu, istri Perdana Menteri Israel Benjamin Netanyahu, telah memperingatkan tentang meningkatnya bahaya antisemitisme dan upaya untuk merusak hubungan antara komunitas Kristen dan Yahudi.Pernyataan tersebut menyusul kunjungan empat harinya ke AS untuk "Be Best" First Ladies’ Summit, yang dihadiri atas undangan Ibu Negara Melania Trump.Dalam komentar eksklusif kepada Digital, ia mengatakan elemen ekstremis baik dari sayap kiri maupun kanan terus mempromosikan antisemitisme terlepas dari catatan sejarah tentang ke mana arahnya dan berusaha untuk merusak Israel serta memecah belah dukungan di dalam komunitas Kristen."Israel tidak pernah memiliki perdana menteri seperti suami saya, yang selama setiap kunjungan ke Amerika Serikat selalu berusaha bertemu dengan para pemimpin komunitas Kristen, merangkul mereka, mendengarkan mereka, dan menjaga hubungan yang erat dan tulus sebagai mitra dan teman sejati," katanya kepada Digital."Keberanian mereka dalam berdiri teguh melawan musuh-musuh Israel patut dihargai. Mereka adalah duta besar [tidak resmi] kita, dan saya berharap kemitraan kita akan terus tumbuh dan menguat," tambahnya.Netanyahu mengatakan bahwa pada bulan Juli, Israel menjadi tuan rumah penasihat dekat presiden dan kepala Kantor Iman Gedung Putih, Paula White-Cain, untuk acara khusus yang dihadiri olehnya dan perdana menteri, yang disiarkan ke jutaan pemirsa Kristen di seluruh dunia.Setelah pembunuhan 1.200 orang di Israel oleh Hamas pada 7 Oktober 2023, antisemitisme melonjak secara global, termasuk di AS.Sara Netanyahu dibesarkan di Israel oleh orang tuanya, Shmuel dan Hava Ben-Artzi. Ayahnya, seorang sarjana Alkitab dan pendidik, menanamkan dalam dirinya apresiasi terhadap hubungan historis orang Yahudi dengan tanah Israel."Holocaust adalah momen dalam sejarah yang tidak bisa dan tidak akan terulang," kata Netanyahu kepada Digital, dengan latar belakang operasi militer AS-Israel yang sedang berlangsung terhadap Republik Islam Iran, yang para pemimpinnya berulang kali mengancam akan melakukan genosida terhadap negara Yahudi.Serangan pasca-7 Oktober termasuk pembunuhan dua staf Kedutaan Israel di Washington pada Mei 2025 oleh Elias Rodriguez, yang diduga meneriakkan "Bebaskan Palestina!" saat ditangkap, dan serangan Juni oleh Mohamed Sabry Soliman yang melukai 12 orang di unjuk rasa pro-Israel, yang kemudian menewaskan satu korban.Insiden juga meningkat setelah Operasi Epic Fury dimulai pada 28 Februari, yang digambarkan Netanyahu sebagai langkah preemptif terhadap Iran dan proksi terorisnya.Penyelidik mengatakan Ayman Mohamad Ghazali, yang dituduh melakukan upaya serangan pada 12 Maret terhadap sebuah sinagoge di Michigan, telah teradikalisasi oleh Hezbollah.Sementara itu, penyelidikan federal bulan lalu menemukan beberapa anggota fakultas "melegitimasi dan memperkuat antisemitisme" selama protes terhadap perang Israel di Gaza. Perkemahan menyebar di kampus-kampus, seringkali menuntut divestasi dari institusi yang terkait dengan Israel dan organisasi Yahudi.Pada 20 Maret, pemerintahan Trump menggugat Harvard, menuduh universitas tersebut gagal melindungi mahasiswa Yahudi dan Israel serta membiarkan antisemitisme."Kita berada dalam perang eksistensial — perang antara kebaikan dan kejahatan — melawan kekuatan yang berusaha menghancurkan Israel dan dunia," katanya."Para pemimpin rezim Iran secara publik membakar bendera Israel dan Amerika Serikat. Mereka menyebut Israel sebagai 'Setan Kecil' dan Amerika sebagai 'Setan Besar'."Dia melanjutkan, "Israel tidak pernah memiliki teman yang lebih baik daripada Donald Trump. Bersama dengan perdana menteri [Israel], mereka sedang membentuk kembali Timur Tengah dan menciptakan peluang untuk masa depan baru bagi seluruh dunia bebas," tambahnya.Selama kunjungannya ke AS, Netanyahu bertemu dengan beberapa ibu negara, menyampaikan pidato di Departemen Luar Negeri AS, mengadakan pembicaraan dengan Senator Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., terlibat dengan perusahaan teknologi dan AI, serta menjadi tuan rumah pertemuan besar dengan orang tua anak-anak yang bertugas di Pasukan Pertahanan Israel.Netanyahu menghadiri "Be Best" First Ladies’ Summit, sebuah konferensi teknologi global para ibu negara yang diselenggarakan oleh Melania Trump, yang berfokus pada perluasan akses ke teknologi pembelajaran jarak jauh untuk anak-anak dan remaja.Netanyahu, seorang psikolog anak yang bekerja tiga kali seminggu di kotamadya Yerusalem, telah mendalami masalah ini.Kunjungan tersebut juga membawa implikasi ekonomi, yang mengarah pada perluasan dialog dengan Microsoft dan Meta di tingkat global.Netanyahu mengatakan kepada Digital bahwa perusahaan-perusahaan menyatakan minat untuk memajukan investasi senilai puluhan juta dolar untuk mengimplementasikan model AI canggih untuk pembelajaran jarak jauh di kalangan anak-anak dan pemuda — terutama di Israel, di mana kelangsungan pendidikan terganggu oleh situasi keamanan."Israel adalah negara terkemuka di antara negara-negara Barat maju — dalam moralitas, nilai, dan tentu saja teknologi. Inovasi Israel berdampak pada orang-orang di seluruh dunia setiap hari di bidang-bidang seperti keamanan siber, fintech, dan pertanian. Kami berkontribusi pengetahuan kami dan membangun kemitraan strategis yang membawa Israel lebih dekat kepada sekutunya," katanya."Ada apresiasi yang kuat untuk Israel di seluruh dunia, dan ketika negara-negara mengenali kontribusi kami, mereka memilih kemitraan daripada ekstremisme dan kebencian," pungkas Netanyahu.Artikel ini disediakan oleh penyedia konten pihak ketiga.

China Risun (01907.HK) Reports Strong 37.7% Net Profit Surge in 2025 Amid Industry Challenges

April 1, 2026
HONG KONG, Apr 1, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - China Risun Group Limited ("China Risun" or the "Company", together with its subsidiaries, the "Group"; Stock Code: 1907.HK), a leading global integrated coke, coking chemicals, and refined chemicals producer and supplier, as well as a relevant operation management services provider, recently announced its audited consolidated results for the year ended December 31, 2025. The financial report reveals that, despite a market environment characterized by cyclical downturns in the prices of major products, the Group achieved a significant increase in net profit through effective cost control, operational optimization, and business structure adjustment, while continuing to make breakthroughs in the fields of hydrogen energy and high-end refined chemicals.Financial Performance: Profit Growth and Improved Operational EfficiencyFor the 2025 financial year, the Group recorded a revenue of approximately RMB 39.286 billion, representing a year-on-year decrease of about 17.4% from RMB 47.543 billion in the Last Year. The decline in revenue was primarily due to an across-the-board drop in the prices of coke and major chemical products, as both the ferrous and chemical industry chains faced a market landscape of "strong supply and weak demand." Despite the top-line pressure, the Group demonstrated strong operational resilience through strict cost control. During the Year, the cost of sales and services decreased by 17.8% year-on-year, outpacing the decline in revenue. Consequently, the Group's gross profit reached RMB 3.064 billion, with the gross profit margin expanding by 0.5 percentage points year-on-year to 7.8%. More notably, the profit for the Year achieved a counter-cyclical growth, reaching approximately RMB 135 million, representing a significant increase of about 37.7% from RMB 97.80 million in the Last Year. Net cash generated from operating activities amounted to RMB 3.46 billion, a year-on-year surge of 140%, far exceeding the net profit, which indicates further enhanced risk-resistance capabilities and significantly improved earnings quality.Basic earnings per share of the Company for the Year stood at RMB 1.3 cents, a substantial year-on-year increase of 160%, reflecting the growth in profit attributable to the owners of the Company and the positive impact of share repurchases. The Board proposed a final dividend of RMB 0.19 cents per share, amounting to a total of approximately RMB 8.13 million, continuing its solid policy of rewarding shareholders.Business Highlights: Consolidating Coke Leadership, Expanding Operation Management, and Advancing High-End Chemicals & Hydrogen EnergyAs the cornerstone of its business, the Group's coke and coking chemicals manufacturing segment demonstrated distinct cost advantages during the price downtrend cycle. By optimizing coal blending and implementing cost reduction and efficiency improvement strategies, the segment's gross profit margin increased from 8.6% in the Last Year to 12.4%. During the Year, the first coke oven of a new coke project with an annual capacity of 1.8 million tons in Pingxiang, Jiangxi Province commenced operation, further consolidating the Group's economies of scale in production capacity.The operation management and trading businesses have become vital portfolio components for smoothing out cyclical fluctuations. Although revenue from operation management services decreased due to the completion of certain management agreements, the Group secured two new operation management projects in Jilin and Shanxi provinces during the Year, continuing to expand its industry influence. To date, the Group operates 9 management service projects, mainly distributed across Henan, Jilin, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Sichuan, and other provinces, managing a total scale of 8.282 million tons and achieving a 6-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.8%. Meanwhile, revenue from the trading business grew by 25.6% year-on-year, effectively supplementing the cash flow.Innovation and high-end transition remain the core driving forces for the Group's development. In the refined chemicals sector, the Group successfully developed and commenced production of the first domestic 5,000 tons/year amino alcohol (2-Amino-2-methyl-1-propanol) project at its Dingzhou Production Base, thereby becoming the world's second-largest producer of amino alcohol. The product has successfully passed the EU REACH registration, paving the way into high-value-added markets such as high-end coatings and pharmaceuticals. Caprolactam, another core product, maintained its solid market position while continuously optimizing costs through technological innovation.The accelerated rollout of the hydrogen energy business is one of the most promising growth drivers in the financial report. The Group's high-purified hydrogen production volume increased by 25.7% year-on-year, capturing an approximate 21.8% market share in North China. Crucially, the Group initiated the construction of the nation's first 5 tons/day liquid hydrogen demonstration project at the Dingzhou Production Base in Hebei Province. This project has been selected for the national-level list of the first major technological equipment in the energy sector, marking a significant technological breakthrough in the hydrogen storage and transportation segment and laying a solid foundation for future commercial applications.Financial Strategy: Robust Cash Flows and Shareholder ReturnsDuring the Year, net cash generated from operating activities improved significantly to approximately RMB 3.465 billion, primarily benefiting from the strengthened management of trade receivables. Despite actively managing capital expenditures for future development, the Group maintained ample liquidity. As of the end of the reporting period, the Group's unutilized banking facilities amounted to approximately RMB 8.036 billion, providing strong support for ongoing business expansion.The Group also actively utilized capital market tools to optimize its capital structure and reward shareholders. During the Year, the Company spent approximately RMB 180 million to repurchase shares and granted share awards to nearly 800 employees under the Share Award Plan, aiming to incentivize the team and share the fruits of corporate development.Future Outlook: Launching the New Five-Year Plan, Focusing on Green Transition and Industrial UpgradeIn its latest financial report, the Group announced that it has formulated its Seventh Five-Year Development Plan for the period from 2026 to 2030. Looking ahead, China Risun will continue to increase its market share in the coke, refined chemicals, and hydrogen-energy products markets through capacity expansion, mergers and acquisitions, and joint ventures. Particularly in the hydrogen energy sector, the Group will actively seize policy opportunities under China's "15th Five-Year Plan," aiming to become a clean and low-carbon hydrogen energy supplier, while exploring the industrialization of liquid hydrogen and the construction of integrated hydrogen-energy stations.Faced with a complex market environment in 2025, the Group achieved counter-cyclical profitability improvements relying on its integrated and industrial-park-based operational model, exceptional cost-control capabilities, and forward-looking R&D innovation. Entering the new Five-Year Plan cycle, China Risun will resolutely drive the green transition and high-end upgrade of the coking industry, cultivate refined chemicals into a crucial "second growth curve", continuously expand its global footprint, and deepen technological innovation. The Group is committed to achieving a higher level of sustainable development and accelerating its green and low-carbon transformation, while continuing to deliver long-term value and superior returns to shareholders.

Belgium’s Gambling Market Sees First Decline Since Pandemic in 2024 iGame

Belgium’s Gambling Market Sees First Decline Since Pandemic in 2024

April 1, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - In 2024, the regulated gambling sector in Belgium shrank, representing the first annual drop since the Covid-19 pandemic began in 2020. Data published by the Belgian gambling authority on Tuesday showed that the combined gross gaming revenue (GGR) for licensed operators decreased by 4.86% compared to the previous year, totaling €1.61 billion. The decrease was largely caused by a substantial fall in land-based gambling, even though the online sector—which remains the biggest—recorded only a minor dip. The overall GGR for 2024 stood at €1.61 billion. The online portion reached €919.10 million, representing 57.1% of the total and falling 2.7% annually. Conversely, land-based GGR was €690.41 million (42.9% of the total), a decline of 7.59%. The regulated industry is divided into four categories: casinos, arcade licenses, low-stakes gaming, and betting operators. GGR for casinos increased by 7.32% to €638.45 million, with online platforms contributing three-quarters of that income. Arcade licenses, however, dropped by 11.95% to €384.75 million. Specifically, online activity plummeted by 23.8%, whereas offline earnings grew by 4.24%. In the low-stakes gaming sector, GGR fell significantly by 21.71% to €222 million, and café bingo also saw a 24.7% reduction. Sports betting GGR decreased by 6.59% to €364.3 million. Offline betting dropped by 13.58%, while online betting saw a small decline of 2.11%. Industry turns focus inward Online gambling continued to dominate, generating more than half (57%) of the total GGR. This is a pattern that gained speed during the Covid pandemic. The casino category experienced growth in both offline (+3.7%) and online (+8.7%) revenue streams. Offline betting was hit hard, with betting shops and outlets seeing a 17.9% annual GGR drop, partly due to the number of licenses falling from 535 to 408 over two years. Retail outlets noted slight sales drops, although online betting stayed relatively stable. Sports betting GGR went up by 4%, whereas horse racing and other wagers suffered sharp falls of 32.8% and 44.7%, respectively. Regulatory shifts affect market results The Belgian gambling authority ascribed the drop to various regulatory rules implemented since 2023 that have impacted the legal market's results. These included a ban on cumulative sites. Operators cannot host products from different license types on one platform. This heavily affected arcade license holders. Some operators merged offerings onto casino or betting sites, causing revenue to move between license categories. Other measures included raising the minimum gambling age from 18 to 21, prohibiting bonuses, enforcing stricter advertising regulations, and mandating ID/Epis checks. Belgian regulators have focused heavily on advertising limits, as seen in recent probes into high-profile promotions featuring football star Eden Hazard. While intended to bolster responsible gambling, these regulatory changes have dampened growth. The regulator also warned that it is unclear if these rules have effectively enhanced player safeguards. First total drop since 2020 Between 2020 and 2023, Belgium's online GGR enjoyed strong growth, rising by roughly 60% in total and by 18% in 2023 specifically. The regulator emphasized the necessity for immediate research to determine if players have moved to unregulated markets. It also pointed out delays and summarized data in the 2024 report, caused by modifications in financial reporting procedures and a lack of staff in the financial control unit. The 2025 market statistics are anticipated to be published without delay. Kathryn EvansKathryn reports on concise breaking news, mainly concentrating on EMEA and US legislation.

We are pleased to collaborate with CTF Life to introduce the PRMP and the RMP to more clients, and to jointly support the Government’s initiative to address the ageing society and promote silver economy.”CTF Life’s @MyLove Insurance Plan II3 is an eligible life insurance product under the PRMP, allowing customers to use their insurance policies as collateral to apply for monthly or lump-sum payouts to meet their retirement financial needs. The plan provides life protection up to 100 years of age, together with extra accidental death benefit during the first 10 policy years, flexible premium payment options, premium prepayment options, a guaranteed cash value, plus annual dividend and terminal dividend to help customers further grow their wealth. At the same time, through the RMP, customers can convert property value into a stable cash flow.

MHI President Eisaku Ito Offers Words of Encouragement to New Employees at the Company’s 2026 Welcoming Ceremony

Maret 31, 2026
President Eisaku Ito welcomes new employees at the ceremonyTOKYO, Apr 1, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) held an entrance ceremony for the fiscal year 2026 at the Grand Prince Hotel New Takanawa in Minato-ku, Tokyo. This year, as a new initiative, some of the new employees' families also participated in the ceremony online. President & CEO Eisaku Ito addressed over 1,100 new employees, offering words of encouragement and expressing his expectations that "each individual's diverse values and experiences will bring innovation to our Group."Summary of President Ito's MessageMaking the stable supply of energy and electricity and the establishment of strategic supply chains increasingly important, alongside heightened awareness of security. Labor shortages in developed countries and the aging of urban infrastructure also pose major challenges. Furthermore, the remarkable advances in AI technology are transforming industries. Against this backdrop, President & CEO Ito emphasized that "in times like these, it is essential to cherish the fundamentals of our company." He explained the origins of our Group and the three corporate principles that form our management philosophy, including "putting customers first and contributing to social progress through our business." He then spoke about the Group's vision and offered encouragement to the new employees. The key points are as follows:MHI Group VisionOur Group's mission is to "combine the technologies accumulated with cutting-edge knowledge, tackle evolving social challenges, and realize a prosperous life for people." We provide diverse products and services to a wide range of customers, supported by a common foundation of technologies, experts, and IT systems. Our Group owns over 700 technologies. Companies that possess both such diversity and a common foundation are rare worldwide. Therefore, our Group still has significant room for growth.To maximize our growth potential, we are promoting "Innovative Total Optimization (ITO)" throughout the company. ITO is based on two core concepts. The first is "Group-Wide Optimization," which means optimizing the value chain from sales to manufacturing and enabling lean business operations through the common foundation mentioned earlier. Additionally, by strengthening collaboration between businesses, sharing lessons learned from failures and early signs of changes in the business environment, we aim to enhance productivity and profitability. The second concept is "Scope Expansion," which anticipates latent needs and creates new value by "smartly connecting" different fields. By leveraging partnering and IT, we swiftly approach new customers and regions. Combining these approaches, we will provide new value to vastly more customers.This fiscal year marks the final year of the "2024 Business Plan," launched in fiscal 2024. Through achieving this plan and advancing ITO, we aim to realize a "virtuous cycle of high profitability and growth investment."Encouragement to New EmployeesOur Group fosters a culture where young employees can take on significant challenges early in their careers. When I was a student, I researched gas turbines and aspired to become an engineer in this field. I joined Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, the only company in Japan independently developing gas turbines. I was entrusted with a project to develop a turbine for a new concept jet engine. I was involved in all manufacturing processes from planning to development, design, prototyping, and evaluation, which later became the foundation of our business. Since then, as an engineer, I have participated in various projects both domestically and internationally, and with each experience, including failures, I saw personal growth.The greatest appeal of our Group is its deep connection with society. There are countless opportunities to realize the desire to "contribute to society through manufacturing." Our business fields extend from the depths of the ocean to the far reaches of space.People are the core of our Group. To enhance individual capabilities, we provide various opportunities for challenges and growth. However, these opportunities are not only given but must also be actively pursued. We want you to identify social issues you are passionate about in your own life, align them with organizational goals, and continue to challenge yourself and grow.In your daily work, please especially keep in mind to "work cheerfully and enjoyably," "focus on the small tasks in front of you," and "be yourself." Mental and physical health are the foundation of life. When things are tough, there is actually an opportunity to rapidly develop your abilities. Also, small tasks support our Group's large businesses. The day will come when you will be entrusted with major work, so prepare thoroughly with humility and courage, and expand the areas where you can contribute. Be aware of how your work benefits society, set your own goals, and put them into practice.Our Group has many jobs that contribute to social progress, global-scale work, and work that only we can do. With the ambition and responsibility to proactively create and support society, let us maximize our Group's potential and continue to take on challenges on the global stage.About MHI GroupMitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group is one of the world’s leading industrial groups, spanning energy, smart infrastructure, industrial machinery, aerospace and defense.

MercadoLibre (MELI) Hentikan Mercado Coin Setelah Empat Tahun

Maret 31, 2026
TLDR Mercado Libre akan menghentikan mata uang kriptonya, Mercado Coin, pada 17 April 2026 Setelah tanggal tersebut, pengguna tidak lagi dapat membeli, menjual, atau mendapatkan cashback dalam bentuk token tersebut Mercado Coin diluncurkan pada Agustus 2022 di Brasil sebagai token hadiah pembelian Pengguna dapat menjual token, menggunakannya sebagai kredit, atau mengonversinya secara otomatis ke mata uang lokal Mercado Libre masih memegang lebih dari $38 juta dalam bentuk bitcoin dan terus mendukung fitur kripto lainnya (SeaPRwire) - Saham Mercado Libre (MELI) diperdagangkan di sekitar $2.200 pada saat penulisan. MercadoLibre, Inc., MELI Mercado Libre menghentikan mata uang kripto miliknya sendiri, Mercado Coin, hampir empat tahun setelah peluncurannya. Perusahaan mengumumkan langkah tersebut melalui notifikasi dan email melalui dompet digital Mercado Pago miliknya. Mulai 17 April, pengguna tidak lagi dapat membeli, menjual, atau mendapatkan cashback dalam Mercado Coin. Peran token tersebut di dalam ekosistem Mercado Libre akan berakhir. Mercado Coin diluncurkan pada Agustus 2022 di Brasil sebelum merambah ke pasar lain. Token ini dibangun di atas standar ERC-20 Ethereum dan dapat diakses melalui aplikasi Mercado Pago. Token ini dirancang untuk memberi hadiah kepada pengguna atas pembelian di platform tersebut. Produk-produk menawarkan insentif token yang dapat digunakan untuk pembelian di masa mendatang atau dicairkan. Token ini beroperasi dalam kemitraan dengan bursa kripto Ripio, yang menangani sisi perdagangan token tersebut. Pengguna yang masih memegang Mercado Coin memiliki tiga opsi ke depannya. Mereka dapat menjual melalui aplikasi, menggunakannya sebagai kredit pembelian di MercadoLibre, atau cukup menunggu konversi otomatis ke mata uang fiat lokal. Saldo tersisa yang tidak ditangani secara manual akan disetorkan ke akun pengguna secara otomatis setelah batas waktu 17 April. Mercado Libre tidak menjelaskan keputusan tersebut secara publik dalam pemberitahuan pelanggannya. Perusahaan tidak memberikan pernyataan resmi tentang mengapa mereka memilih untuk mengakhiri program tersebut saat ini. Mengapa Ini Penting bagi Strategi Kripto MELI Meskipun menarik Mercado Coin, MercadoLibre tidak mundur sepenuhnya dari dunia kripto. Perusahaan masih mendukung transfer stablecoin dan perdagangan token melalui Mercado Pago. Perusahaan juga memegang bitcoin senilai lebih dari $38 juta di neraca keuangannya. Mercado Libre juga memiliki stablecoin yang didukung dolar miliknya sendiri, yang tetap aktif. Fokusnya tampaknya beralih dari token hadiah milik sendiri ke aset digital yang lebih mapan. Langkah ini sesuai dengan pola yang lebih luas di antara perusahaan teknologi besar yang mempertimbangkan kembali token digital bermerek. Beberapa perusahaan yang meluncurkan aset kripto mereka sendiri pada awal 2020-an sejak saat itu telah menghentikannya secara diam-diam. Apa yang Terjadi Setelah 17 April Antara sekarang dan 17 April, pengguna masih dapat berinteraksi dengan kepemilikan Mercado Coin mereka seperti biasa. Setelah batas waktu tersebut, fitur beli, jual, dan cashback akan dinonaktifkan secara permanen. Konversi otomatis ke mata uang lokal memberikan "pendaratan yang mulus" bagi pengguna daripada penghapusan total. Tidak ada token yang akan hilang begitu saja — masing-masing akan diperhitungkan pada saat konversi. Mercado Pago menangani seluruh proses penghentian ini dari awal hingga akhir. Perjalanan empat tahun token ini berakhir dengan Mercado Libre yang memegang posisi bitcoin senilai lebih dari $38 juta, menunjukkan bahwa minat kripto perusahaan tersebut belum mendingin — hanya bergeser.Artikel ini disediakan oleh penyedia konten pihak ketiga.
