MINISO Secures Three Wins at the Asia Design Prize for Its Original Designs

SEOUL, South Korea, April 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The 2026 Asia Design Prize ceremony took place recently in Seoul, South Korea. MINISO took home three awards for its original designs, standing out among more than 1,500 submissions from 31 countries and regions. Flip Mirror earned a Gold Winner award, while Lumion Brush and Light Forest received Winner recognition, pointing to MINISO's growing in-house design and R&D capabilities. MINISO Seoul Design Center team at the Asia Design Prize 2026 ceremony Asia Design Prize is one of Asia's most influential international design awards. Renowned for its rigorous, impartial jury process and global perspective, the competition spotlights work that reflects where design is heading and helps bring those ideas and practice to a wider audience. It has become a visible platform connecting Asian design talent with the international stage. These three winning products each address distinct everyday scenarios, combining sharp user-centric insight with structural innovation to make daily routines more intuitive. Flip Mirror, the Gold Winner, is a hidden-storage compact mirror. With a flip mechanism, it tucks small items behind the mirror, blending storage and use in a way that feels seamless—even on a crowded desk. MINISO Seoul Design Center noted, "We wanted to turn everyday desktop organization into something simple, intuitive, and meaningful. Flip Mirror doesn't just keep your space tidy—it turns the act of flipping into a small, satisfying ritual." Flip Mirror Light Forest, an ambient mood light, draws inspiration from the silhouette of a forest. Its soft silicone shade conceals a squeeze sensor—users turn the light on and off with a gentle pinch, replacing traditional controls with a more tactile and playful interaction. Light Forest Lumion Brush, a portable scalp massager, focuses on personal care. It combines gentle vibration with ionic care, while its ergonomic, lightweight design makes it easy to use anywhere—at home or on the go—turning daily scalp care into something more efficient and effortless. Lumion Brush In recent years, MINISO has stepped up its focus on creative design as it expands globally. The company was an early advocate of "interest-driven consumption," and continues to push product innovation through a dual-engine approach— top-tier licensed IP collaborations and proprietary IP development—empowered by its design and technology capabilities. MINISO is advancing the development of four design centers in China, South Korea, Japan, and the United States, helping to build a global design network that continues to strengthen its original R&D capabilities. Winning multiple honor at Asia Design Prize further validates MINISO's sustained investment in its original design system. Looking ahead, MINISO will keep design at its core, bringing consumers products that are both inventive and genuinely useful.

Xinhua Silk Road: Savor a cup of Fenjiu to cheer for reunion

BEIJING, April 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- In China, traditional festivals such as the Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival are days to celebrate reunion. While Chinese people return home for family gatherings during such holidays, some overseas Chinese and foreigners in China find it captivating to savor a cup of baijiu to experience the oriental essence. Among their diverse choices, Fenjiu, a light-flavor Chinese baijiu, was one of the optimal choices that conquered the taste buds of many and gained more popularity abroad this February. In Canada, a spring temple fair for overseas Chinese from north China's Shanxi Province where Fenjiu Group, the producer of Fenjiu, is situated, was thronged by visitors eager to taste Qinghua Fenjiu, Rose Fenjiu and other Fenjiu products with refreshing aroma, refined flavors and smooth texture. In Australia, a celebration of the Year of the Horse in Chinatown of Melbourne presented the Fenjiu special Panama edition and 30-year-old Qinghua Fenjiu with upscale black and gold packaging to overseas Chinese there and captured their hearts. Elsewhere in the Chinese food restaurants in Paris of France and streets of Madrid in Spain, Fenjiu products are always spotted on tables of overseas Chinese during the holidays. In Greece and the UAE, similar venues or events akin to the above-mentioned ones welcomed more foreigners to experience the traditional Chinese holiday while enjoying a cup of the distinguished Chinese baijiu. In Chinese cities, an increasing number of foreigners had opted in February for a China travel to feel the warmth and charm of the Spring Festival when celebrating the festival in China is evolving into a new global fashion. Already collected in Kremlin Museum in Moscow, Qinghua Fenjiu, a premium Fenjiu product, is showing how foreign friends have understood the oriental brewing wisdom and cultural inclusiveness.

Xinhua Silk Road: Shanghai Fashion Week ranks 4th in latest vitality index report

BEIJING, April 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Shanghai Fashion Week has risen to the fourth place globally, overtaking New York, according to a report released Thursday in Shanghai. The Global Fashion Industry Index-Fashion Week Vitality Index Report (2025), issued by China Economic Information Service, describes Shanghai as the fastest-growing node city in the global fashion landscape. Paris and Milan fashion weeks retained the top two positions globally. London and Shanghai ranked third and fourth, with commercial vibrancy and digital transformation cited as their core competitiveness. For the first time, the report added a "commercial trade activity" indicator to quantify each fashion week's ability to integrate commercial resources and convert them into market transactions. Shanghai Fashion Week recorded 1,217 trade brands, second only to Paris, and operated seven digital trade platforms which is the highest figure among all eight fashion weeks surveyed. The report noted persistent gaps. Shanghai Fashion Week's 23 product categories and average transaction price of 420 U.S. dollars represent only 64 percent and 54 percent of Paris Fashion Week's figures respectively, reflecting a market still dominated by mid-range and emerging brands but with significant growth potential. In the elements aggregation dimension, Paris and Milan led with 429 and 387 participating brands and 544 and 529 events respectively, while Shanghai hosted around 200 events and distinguished itself through new brand participation. In industry influence, Shanghai ranked first globally in the number of designers, and its innovation trend score also placed near the top. China's apparel and fashion retail market reached nearly 460 billion U.S. dollars in 2025, maintaining its position as the world's largest single market. Global fashion e-commerce penetration rate rose from 18 percent in 2020 to approximately 36 percent in 2025, surpassing 45 percent in emerging markets. On sustainability, approximately 72 percent of global consumers said they were willing to pay a premium for sustainable products, with most accepting a markup of 5 to 10 percent. The report devoted a dedicated chapter to artificial intelligence, noting that 58 to 60 percent of global fashion retailers have integrated AI into operations and marketing. The report concluded that Shanghai Fashion Week is at a critical transition from scale expansion to capability upgrading, and should deepen integration of local culture, contemporary design and haute couture to strengthen its role as a commercial hub connecting design with consumption.

AIRSEEKERS Tron and Tron SE Series Now Available: Redefining "Real Mowing" with FlowCut™ Technology

SHENZHEN, China, April 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- AIRSEEKERS, the Master-Crafted Oasis Creator, today unveiled the Tron & Tron SE series. As the definitive "All-Round Flagship," the AIRSEEKERS series mark a paradigm shift from simple lawn care to professional-grade estate stewardship. AIRSEEKERS Tron and Tron SE Series All-Round Flagship Mower: Elevating Lawn Vitality through Intelligent Performance The Tron & Tron SE series sets a new industry benchmark with its pioneering FlowCut™ technology, a system that transcends traditional mowing to foster a self-sustaining lawn ecosystem. Engineered with dual-layer blades rotating at 3,000 RPM, the mower generates a powerful X-shaped vortex that aligns grass blades for a surgical cut before pulverizing them into micro-particles 30% smaller than the industry standard. This ultra-fine mulch is reinjected into the turf as a potent natural fertilizer, enhancing soil moisture retention by 25% and demonstrably increasing lawn density. By integrating precision cutting with automated nutrient recycling, the Tron and Tron SE series delivers a visibly lusher, healthier lawn, cementing its status as a flagship solution for professional-grade garden management. Precision Navigation and AI Vision for Enhanced Lawn CareThe Tron & Tron SE series redefines autonomous mowing by anchoring its intelligence in the ultimate lawn care experience. Beyond mere navigation, it executes a streamlined, all-in-one workflow—integrating vacuuming, dividing, cutting, and mulching into a single mission. This operational excellence is anchored by the 300° Universe View for Tron & 140° Universe View for Tron SE, part of a sophisticated AI Vision navigation system that ensures Smart & Precise Safety. By leveraging AI-powered perception, the Tron & Tron SE series can rapidly identify over 150 types of objects, providing proactive obstacle detection around pets, people, and garden structures. This visual mastery is bolstered by NRTK technology and auto-mapping, eliminating external antennas and enabling a full system setup in under five minutes. By merging rapid-deployment AI with aerodynamic precision, the Tron & Tron SE Series transforms complex robotic navigation into a seamless, high-performance solution for professional-grade lawn health. Model Selection and Use Scenarios The Tron and SE Series are tailored to diverse user scenarios and yard scales. AIRSEEKERS TRON SE: Positioned as an entry-level professional mulching robot, the Tron SE is designed for standard-sized yards. It focuses on automating core lawn maintenance tasks, such as manual mowing and grass clippings disposal, by utilizing the "Mulch-to-Nutrient" system. AIRSEEKERS TRON: The flagship Tron model is engineered for complex landscapes and premium estate maintenance. Compared to the SE, it features higher-precision positioning and enhanced processing power. This series is designed for users requiring more advanced autonomous navigation and professional-grade soil nurturing across diverse terrain conditions.

Xinhua Silk Road: Global South financiers visit E. China's Ningbo to explore industrial and cultural innovation

BEIJING, April 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- A delegation of government officials, financial executives and business leaders attending the 2026 Global South Financiers Forum recently visited Ningbo, east China's Zhejiang Province, touring the city's advanced technology facilities and intangible cultural heritage sites. Photo shows the delegation of 2026 Global South Financiers Forum visiting the National Graphene Innovation Center in Ningbo, east China's Zhejiang Province. The group's first stop was the National Graphene Innovation Center, a key research hub for China's strategic new materials sector. Staff members there introduced the latest applications of graphene technology across energy efficiency, healthcare and industrial equipment. A graphene-enhanced cooling vest designed to reduce heat stress for outdoor and factory workers drew particular attention, with delegates stopping to examine it closely. "This is what technology should look like, not just data in a laboratory, but something that genuinely improves the working conditions of ordinary people," said Luis René Fernández Tabío, a professor at the University of Havana. Carlos Huerta, director of the Nogales Industrial Park in Mexico, said the visit gave him a new understanding of Ningbo's capabilities. "I had not expected Ningbo to have advanced this far in new materials. This opens up real possibilities for deeper cooperation between our two countries in this sector," he said. The delegation also visited the Red Peony International Home. Participants painted peony motifs using traditional brush techniques, a process many found meditative. "A flower has many layers, just like a culture," said Luz María García, executive director of the Chilean Technology Information Association. "The process slowed me down. I think that is what you call 'craftsman spirit.'" At a local artisan village in Zhenhai District, delegates made Ningbo's traditional glutinous rice dumplings and tried bamboo weaving alongside local craftspeople. They then visited the Ningbobang Museum, which chronicles the city's history as a major port since ancient times and the rise of the globally influential "Ningbo merchant" community. "The way they went out into the world back then shares much in common with what we discuss today about Global South cooperation, building connections on the basis of trust," Tabío said.
