    India’s seafood industry is poised for significant growth following the signing of the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with the United Kingdom on July 24. The landmark agreement, formalized in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, was signed by India’s Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal and UK Secretary of State for Business and Trade Jonathan Reynolds. CETA is expected to boost India’s seafood exports to the UK by an estimated 70%, driven by the elimination of tariffs on a wide range of marine products.

    The agreement grants zero-duty access on 99% of tariff lines, significantly enhancing the competitiveness of Indian seafood in the UK market. Key exports such as Vannamei shrimp, frozen squid, lobsters, frozen pomfret, and black tiger shrimp will benefit from duty-free access, previously subject to tariffs ranging from 0% to 21.5%. Products covered include fish, crustaceans, molluscs, fish oils, marine fats, prepared or preserved seafood, fish meal, and fishing gear. However, items like sausages under HS Code 1601 remain excluded from preferential treatment.

    In 2024–25, India’s seafood exports reached $7.38 billion (₹60,523 crore), with frozen shrimp accounting for $4.88 billion or 66% of earnings. The UK, a major destination, imported $104 million worth of Indian seafood, including $80 million in frozen shrimp. Despite this, India holds only a 2.25% share of the UK’s $5.4 billion seafood import market. With CETA’s tariff eliminations, Indian exporters are well-positioned to capture a larger market share, competing on equal footing with countries like Vietnam and Singapore, which benefit from existing UK free trade agreements.

    The fisheries sector, supporting 28 million livelihoods and contributing 8% to global fish production, has seen robust growth. Between 2014–15 and 2024–25, India’s seafood exports grew by 60% in volume to 16.85 lakh metric tonnes and 88% in value to ₹62,408 crore. Export destinations expanded from 100 to 130 countries, with value-added products tripling to ₹7,666.38 crore. Coastal states like Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, and Gujarat are expected to lead the charge in leveraging CETA, provided they meet the UK’s stringent sanitary and phytosanitary standards.

    India and the Maldives in Friday signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to bolster bilateral ties in fisheries and aquaculture, marking a significant step toward sustainable marine resource development. The agreement, formalized on July 25 during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s state visit to the Maldives, was announced by the Press Information Bureau (PIB). It is one of six MoUs exchanged between the two nations during the visit.

    Signed between India’s Department of Fisheries, under the Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying, and the Maldives’ Ministry of Fisheries and Ocean Resources, the MoU aims to foster collaboration in sustainable tuna and deep-sea fisheries, aquaculture, and eco-tourism. It also emphasizes innovation, scientific research, and capacity building to drive long-term growth in the sector.

    The agreement outlines key initiatives, including enhancing the fisheries value chain, advancing mariculture, facilitating trade, and promoting sustainable resource management. The Maldives plans to strengthen its fish processing capabilities by investing in cold storage infrastructure and expanding its aquaculture sector through hatchery development, improved production efficiency, and diversification of cultured species.

    Additionally, the MoU will support training and knowledge exchange programs, focusing on aquatic animal health, biosecurity screening, aquaculture farm management, and technical skills in refrigeration, mechanical engineering, and marine engineering. These efforts aim to build a skilled workforce and ensure sustainable growth in the fisheries industry.

    Joint Statement on the Australia-UK Nuclear-Powered Submarine Partnership and Collaboration Treaty

    On 26 July 2025 in Geelong, Australia, the Honourable Richard Marles MP, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Defence, Australia and the Right Honourable John Healey MP, Secretary of State for Defence, United Kingdom (UK) signed the bilateral Nuclear-Powered Submarine Partnership and Collaboration Treaty (the Geelong Treaty) at the UK-Australia Defence Ministers’ Meeting in Geelong, Victoria.

    On 26 July 2025 in Geelong, Australia, the Honourable Richard Marles MP, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Defence, Australia and the Right Honourable John Healey MP, Secretary of State for Defence, United Kingdom (UK) signed the bilateral Nuclear-Powered Submarine Partnership and Collaboration Treaty (the Geelong Treaty) at the UK-Australia Defence Ministers’ Meeting in Geelong, Victoria. The Geelong Treaty is a historic agreement, the commitment for the next 50 years of UK-Australian bilateral defence cooperation under AUKUS Pillar I. 

    The Geelong Treaty will enable comprehensive cooperation on the design, build, operation, sustainment, and disposal of our SSN-AUKUS submarines. It will support the development of the personnel, workforce, infrastructure and regulatory systems required for Australia’s SSN-AUKUS programme, as well as support port visits and the rotational presence of a UK Astute-class submarine at HMAS Stirling under Submarine Rotational Force – West.

    The Treaty builds on the strong foundation of trilateral cooperation between Australia, the UK and the United States, advancing the shared objectives of the AUKUS partnership. It will enable the development of SSN-AUKUS and resilient trilateral supply chains.

    Importantly, the Geelong Treaty is consistent with Australia’s and the UK’s respective international nuclear non-proliferation obligations, including under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, the South Pacific Nuclear Free Zone Treaty and its Protocols, and Australia’s safeguards agreements with the International Atomic Energy Agency, and the trilateral AUKUS Naval Nuclear Propulsion Agreement (ANNPA).

    Together with the ANNPA, the Treaty will enable Australia and the UK to deliver a cutting-edge undersea capability through the SSN-AUKUS programme, and in doing so, support stability and security in the Euro Atlantic and the Indo-Pacific for decades to come, drive defence as an engine for growth across our two nations, create thousands of jobs, build our respective submarine industrial bases and supply chains, and provide new opportunities for industry partners.

  • MIL-OSI Asia-Pac: Govt rejects UK officials’ remarks

    Source: Hong Kong Information Services

    The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government today said it strongly disapproved of untrue and biased remarks by UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy and UK Home Secretary Yvette Cooper regarding lawful acts by Hong Kong to pursue wanted individuals who have absconded from Hong Kong.

     

    In a statement, the Hong Kong SAR Government demanded that the UK Government stop interfering in Hong Kong matters, stressing that these are purely China’s internal affairs.

     

    Nineteen people suspected of involvement in a subversive organisation named the “Hong Kong Parliament” have been put on the city’s wanted list.

     

    The Hong Kong SAR Government said the “Hong Kong Parliament” aims to subvert state power through objectives that include promoting “self-determination”, promulgating a “Hong Kong Constitution”, and overthrowing or undermining by unlawful means the basic system and power of the People’s Republic of China or of the Hong Kong SAR.

     

    The 19 individuals are suspected of committing the offence of subversion, contrary to Article 22 of the National Security Law. The Hong Kong Police Force applied for arrest warrants for them and has put them on the wanted list.

     

    The Hong Kong SAR Government stated that absconders hiding in the UK and other Western countries are wanted because they blatantly engage in activities endangering national security, and even collude with external forces to cover for their evil deeds. It added that it is therefore justified, necessary and legitimate for the Police Force to take all lawful measures to combat such acts of abscondment.

     

    Moreover, the Hong Kong SAR Government remarked that the UK has at least 14 items of legislation to protect British national security, and has therefore displayed hypocrisy and double standards by pointing fingers at Hong Kong’s legal system and attempts to safeguard national security.

     

    It emphasised that it will exhaust all possible means to pursue and combat criminals who abscond from Hong Kong, and to ensure that violations of the law are cracked down on.

     

    The wanted individuals are urged to return to Hong Kong and surrender.

     

    The Hong Kong SAR Government reiterated that it will continue to resolutely discharge its duty of safeguarding national security, whilst upholding the rights and freedoms of Hong Kong people in accordance with the law, so as to ensure the steadfast and successful implementation of the principle of “one country, two systems”.

    Police have released a photo of the victim – and independent charity Crimestoppers is offering a reward of up to £20,000 for information.

    Alexa Loukas, London Regional Manager for Crimestoppers, said: “We know that some people may be reluctant or worried to speak directly to the police with information, which is why Crimestoppers is here. We are completely independent and guarantee you will remain 100% anonymous when you contact us.

    “We offer a safe way for anyone to come forward and tell us what they know but not who they are. We are unable to identify any phone numbers or IP addresses if you are reporting online.

  • MIL-OSI NGOs: Plastic Greenpeace plastic protesters stand down after blocking INEOS mega tanker for 24 hours Greenpeace climbers have ended their protest at the iconic Forth Road Bridge in Scotland after successfully blocking a gas tanker owned by the plastics giant INEOS for 24… by Graham Thompson July 26, 2025

    Source: Greenpeace Statement –

    Greenpeace climbers have ended their protest at the iconic Forth Road Bridge in Scotland after successfully blocking a gas tanker owned by the plastics giant INEOS for 24 hours. All 10 climbers descended safely aided by Greenpeace support boats.

    The original press release is available here

    The protesters began climbing down their ropes in the early hours of this morning. The protest started on Friday with climbers abseiling from the bridge and unfurling six giant banners reading ‘PLASTICS TREATY NOW’. Their action prevented the INEOS tanker INDEPENDENCE from delivering its cargo of American fracked gas for a full 24 hours, as the vessel can only reach Grangemouth on high tides.

    All 10 Greenpeace climbers were voluntarily transported to Port Edgar in South Queensferry where they were arrested by officers from Police Scotland on suspicion of Culpable and Reckless Conduct. 

    Greenpeace targeted INEOS, the UK’s biggest plastic producer, ahead of critical international talks in two weeks to secure a Global Plastics Treaty to tackle plastic pollution. Every month thousands of tonnes of gas are delivered to Grangemouth where they are turned into billions of tiny plastic pellets (nurdles) that are transported around the world. Greenpeace accuses the company of deliberately undermining the talks so it can continue ramping up plastic production. 

    The upcoming INC5.2 talks to finalise a Global Plastics Treaty are a once-in-a-generation opportunity for governments to stem the flow of plastic that is causing such harm to our towns, environment and wildlife. Greenpeace is demanding that companies like INEOS and their lobbyists, who have a direct interest in making massive profits from selling plastic, are excluded from the talks allowing governments to reach an ambitious deal.

    Amy Cameron, Programme Director at Greenpeace UK said: “We’ve achieved what we set out to. By blocking INEOS, we’ve drawn global attention to the company’s bottomless appetite for plastic production, false solutions and profit for its billionaire boss Jim Ratcliffe. 

    “Their feeble suggestion that recycling and managing waste can hand them a free pass to go on producing more plastic forever is laughable. It comes from the same industry playbook as the health benefits of smoking and carbon offsetting. The plastic pollution problem is just too massive. Less than 10% of plastic is currently recycled globally, and this is set to rise to just 17% by 2060, while the amount of plastic we’re producing is set to triple. The only solution is to address the problem at source which means securing a strong Global Plastics Treaty that imposes legally-binding caps on plastic production.

    “INEOS are cutting jobs at Grangemouth while trying to open a massive new plastics plant in Belgium, leaving Scottish workers high and dry. If Jim Ratcliffe really cared about skilled jobs in Scotland he’d invest his billions in supporting his workers to transition into the green industries of the future, instead of throwing money at Formula 1 racing teams and football clubs.”

    Contrary to INEOS’ claims, the protest was both safe and caused minimal disruption. The climbers are all highly-trained and spent weeks rehearsing this action to ensure it was safe. They were supported at all times by rescue climbers and support boats. The Forth Road Bridge carries low volumes of bus, bicycle and pedestrian traffic and was closed by Police Scotland – not by the protest directly. 

    An international team of Greenpeace activists abseil from Scotland’s Forth Road Bridge to block an INEOS tanker from delivering its cargo of fracked American gas to the Grangemouth petrochemical facility. The Greenpeace protest is aimed at chemicals giant INEOS, owned by billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe, which is opposing efforts by UN Member States to secure a Global Plastics Treaty to curb plastic pollution. INEOS is the UK’s biggest plastics manufacturer, producing (pellets) daily at its Grangemouth plant – enough to make 60 million plastic bottles.© Luca Marino / Greenpeace

  • MIL-OSI: As XRP Crosses $200 Billion Market Cap, HashJ Expands Support for Scalable XRP & Dogecoin Contract Rewards

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    London, United Kingdom, July 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In response to XRP officially surpassing a $200 billion market capitalization, MGPD Finance Limited, doing business as HashJ, today announced the expansion of its mobile-based digital contract platform to further support XRP and Dogecoin-based reward systems. The platform allows everyday users to engage with the fast-growing digital asset economy—now including XRP-linked reward strategies and Dogecoin contract participation—entirely from their smartphones.

    This announcement reflects HashJ’s continued mission to make crypto-based income tools more accessible and transparent to mainstream users. This article will deeply analyze the contract methods of these two digital assets and introduce how the HashJ platform makes it easy for every ordinary person to experience it. New users can visit the HashJ official website (www.hashj.com) to register for free and receive a $118 gift package (including $100 trial money and $18 real rewards) to start the contract journey immediately.

    The XRP Challenge: Why Traditional Rewards Systems Fall Short

    XRP, developed by Ripple Labs, does not rely on Proof of Work or traditional blockchain-based reward systems. Unlike Dogecoin or Bitcoin, XRP does not support contract-driven earning mechanisms natively, due to its pre-issued total supply and consensus protocol based on validation nodes rather than computational method.

    To address this limitation, HashJ now offers XRP-related yield options via remote smart contract systems and diversified asset rewards—allowing users to engage with XRP’s growth ecosystem even in the absence of contract-based mechanisms.

    Dogecoin Contracts: Still A High-Value Option in 2025

    In contrast to XRP, Dogecoin remains a powerful option for daily crypto income. Through its Scrypt-based algorithm and merged structure with Litecoin, Dogecoin contract systems continue to deliver accessible and stable returns.

    Even without hardware, users can now access DOGE-linked rewards through HashJ’s earning contracts:

    • Daily income potential averaging 75 DOGE
    • Net profit approximating $12.20/day with remote access
    • No hardware or setup required—fully integrated mobile experience

    Key Benefits of HashJ’s Contract Model:

    • No hardware required – entirely app-based
    • Smart revenue automation – optimized by AI-based allocation
    • Flexible entry points – users can start with as little as $10
    • Zero risk onboarding – free $118 starter pack for new users

    Why choose HashJ’a contract system?

    In celebration of XRP’s latest market milestone and growing Dogecoin contract demand, HashJ has launched the following upgrades for new registrants:

    • $100 trial credit for contract experience
    • $18 in real crypto funds for immediate use
    • Access to XRP yield options, DOGE daily contracts, and multi-coin flexibility

    This total of $118 start-up funds is completely free, allowing every new user to participate in digital asset contracts with zero risk and achieve steady income.

    HashJ’s Commitment to Broader Participation

    With the addition of XRP-focused rewards and stable DOGE-based contracts, MGPD Finance Limited (HashJ) continues to lead innovation in digital income tools. The platform is now used by over 2 million users globally and is positioned to support the next wave of crypto adoption across mobile and emerging markets.

    “Crypto participation should be as easy as downloading an app,” said a spokesperson for HashJ. “Our mission is to help everyday people build reliable digital income streams—even from assets like XRP that don’t traditionally offer contract-based returns.”

    Revolutionary city-scanning satellite from UK-France partnership set to transform climate monitoring

    Millions of people worldwide are set to benefit from more accurate climate data as the groundbreaking MicroCarb satellite begins its journey to space.

    MicroCarb launched from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana. Launch photo: ESA-CNES-ARIANESPACE/Optique vidéo du CSG–P. Piron

    The MicroCarb mission, developed in partnership with France’s space agency CNES, will become Europe’s first dedicated carbon dioxide monitoring satellite, marking a major milestone in the global fight against climate change. 

    Successfully launched aboard a Vega-C rocket from Kourou, French Guiana this morning, MicroCarb will join the international greenhouse gas (GHG) virtual constellation of satellites, significantly enhancing global climate monitoring capabilities. 

    Backed by a £15 million investment from the UK Space Agency, the mission strengthens Britain’s position as a global leader in both climate science and space technology. MicroCarb will orbit 650km above Earth, using revolutionary city-scanning technology to map CO₂ emissions across urban areas at an unprecedented 2km x 2km resolution—a level of detail never before achieved from space. This capability is vital for understanding emissions from cities, which are responsible for over 70% of global CO₂ output. 

     UK Minister for Space, Sir Chris Bryant, said: 

    This groundbreaking mission is proof of what can be achieved when we harness the strength of Britain’s burgeoning space industry, together with our deep scientific expertise. Bolstered with £15 million UK Government backing, the MicroCarb satellite will overhaul our ability to track carbon emissions – supporting the clean energy mission that’s key to this Government’s Plan for Change. 

    It’s also further evidence of the value of our deep and unique relationship with France: a partnership which the Prime Minister reinforced, with President Macron, at the UK-France Summit earlier this month.

    The satellite’s precise measurements will help verify climate targets and guide net zero strategies, providing governments with the data needed to track progress toward the Paris Agreement and develop effective carbon reduction policies. 

    Dr Paul Bate, Chief Executive of the UK Space Agency, said: 

    Satellites like MicroCarb are our eyes in the sky. Over half of the critical data we use to understand climate change comes from space, and MicroCarb’s successful launch is a major leap forward in our ability to track carbon emissions and absorption with unprecedented accuracy, from the world’s cities to its forests and oceans. 

    Backed by UK and French investment and expertise, it’s a proud moment for both our space sectors and a powerful example of international collaboration in action.

    In addition to urban emissions, MicroCarb will monitor natural carbon sinks such as forests and oceans, enhancing scientific understanding of how much carbon is absorbed by the planet and where. This data will be essential for improving national carbon inventories and identifying new opportunities for carbon capture and storage (CCS). 

    MicroCarb will measure Solar Induced Fluorescence (SIF), a faint glow plants give off during photosynthesis. This helps scientists track how much carbon plants absorb, offering valuable insights into the carbon cycle, and supporting direct measurements of CO₂ in the atmosphere by helping to differentiate plant from anthropogenic CO₂ emissions. 

    UK scientists and industry have played a central role in the development and delivery of the MicroCarb mission. The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) provided the SI-traceable ground calibration facility to test the satellite’s performance before launch. NPL’s Paul Green is also working with the MicroCarb team to develop algorithms and quality metrics to ensure the accuracy of the data. 

    Thales Alenia Space in the UK were responsible for preparing Microcarb for launch and completed the satellite’s assembly, integration, and test activities at the Science and Technology Facilities Council’s RAL Space in Harwell. RAL Space also developed the pointing and calibration system that enables MicroCarb to take precise measurements at specific locations.  

    GMV UK, in collaboration with France’s Capgemini, is designing, implementing, and quality-assuring algorithms and operational processors for several of MicroCarb’s CO₂ data products, ensuring robust and reliable data delivery.

    Professor Paul Palmer, from The National Centre for Earth Observation (NCEO) and the University of Edinburgh, is the UK lead for MicroCarb. He will translate the satellite’s CO₂ observations into detailed maps showing carbon absorption and emissions. Dr Rob Parker, also part of the NCEO team, is delivering the mission’s SIF retrieval algorithm, drawing on expertise from the University of Leicester. 

    Paul Palmer, UK lead for Microcarb said: 

    Currently, we are witnessing rapid and unprecedented changes in the global carbon cycle. MicroCarb will deliver SIF and atmospheric  CO₂ data that are crucial for understanding those changes. It will also reinvigorate an aging virtual satellite constellation, providing high quality data to inform the next Global Stocktake of the Paris Agreement.  

    More broadly, MicroCarb exemplifies the world-class capabilities of UK science and engineering, working closely with our French colleagues.

    UK scientists have worked closely with their French counterparts as key members of the Mission Advisory Group (MAG), playing a vital role in preparing for the mission and continuing their involvement during the Calibration-Validation phases after launch. 

    MicroCarb is part of a bilateral agreement signed in 2014, and renewed in 2021, between France and the UK, showcasing a strong collaboration in space programmes. The UK and France recently deepened their strategic partnership across space and security technologies, including with specific announcements in satellite communications and PNT. 

    As the world races to limit global warming to 1.5°C, MicroCarb represents a critical step forward in delivering the transparent, verifiable data needed to hold nations accountable and accelerate the transition to a low-carbon future. The first MicroCarb data products are expected to be released in roughly 1 year, offering insights into major urban emitters and the performance of natural carbon sinks. These findings will feed into international climate assessments and future satellite missions under the UK’s Earth observation roadmap.

  • Thai-Cambodian fighting extends into third day despite ceasefire calls

    Source: Government of India (4)

    Fighting on the Thai-Cambodian border extended into a third day and new flashpoints emerged on Saturday as both sides sought diplomatic support, saying they had acted in self-defence and calling on the other to cease fighting and start negotiations.

    At least 30 people have been killed and more than 130,000 people displaced in the worst fighting between the Southeast Asian neighbours in 13 years.

    The Thai navy said there were clashes in the coastal province of Trat early on Saturday, a new front more than 100 km (60 miles) from other conflict points along the long-contested border.

    The two countries have faced off since the killing of a Cambodian soldier late in May during a brief skirmish. Troops on both sides of the border were reinforced amid a full-blown diplomatic crisis that brought Thailand’s fragile coalition government to the brink of collapse.

    Thailand’s death toll remained at 19 on Saturday, while Cambodian Defence Ministry spokesperson Maly Socheata said five soldiers and eight civilians had been killed in the fighting.In the Kanthralak district of Thailand’s Sisaket province, on the border near some of the clashes, hotel worker Chianuwat Thalalai said the town had emptied out.

    “Nearly everybody’s gone, it’s almost a deserted city,” the 31-year-old told Reuters. “My hotel is still open for some of those nearer to the border area that needs a place to stay.”

    Thailand’s ambassador to the United Nations told a Security Council meeting on Friday that soldiers had been injured by newly planted land mines in Thai territory on two occasions since mid-July – claims Cambodia has strongly denied – and said Cambodia had then launched attacks on Thursday morning.

    “Thailand urges Cambodia to immediately cease all hostilities and acts of aggression, and resume dialogue in good faith,” Cherdchai Chaivaivid told the council in remarks released to media.

    DECADES OF DISPUTES

    Cambodia’s defence ministry said Thailand had launched “a deliberate, unprovoked, and unlawful military attack” on Thursday, and was now mobilising troops and military equipment on the border.

    “These deliberate military preparations reveal Thailand’s intent to expand its aggression and further violate Cambodia’s sovereignty,” the ministry said in a statement on Saturday.

    Cambodia called for the international community to “condemn Thailand’s aggression in the strongest terms” and to prevent an expansion of Thailand’s military activities.

    Bangkok reiterated it wanted to resolve the dispute bilaterally, telling the Security Council it was “deeply regrettable that Cambodia has deliberately avoided meaningful dialogue and instead sought to internationalise the issue to serve its own political objectives”.

    Thailand and Cambodia have bickered for decades over jurisdiction of various undemarcated points along their 817-km (508-mile) land border, with ownership of the ancient Hindu temples Ta Moan Thom and the 11th century Preah Vihear central to the disputes.

    Preah Vihear was awarded to Cambodia by the International Court of Justice in 1962, but tension escalated in 2008 after Cambodia attempted to list it as a UNESCO World Heritage site.

    That led to skirmishes over several years and at least a dozen deaths.

    Cambodia in June said it had asked the court to resolve its disputes with Thailand, which says it has never recognised the court’s jurisdiction and prefers a bilateral approach.

    ZHENGZHOU, July 26 (Xinhua) — The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Media and Think Tank Summit is being held from July 23 to 27 in Zhengzhou, capital of central China’s Henan Province. At the event, Henan-based Chinese beverage giant Mixue Bingcheng (Honey Snow City) is offering guests freshly brewed tea drinks, giving them a chance to experience different tastes.

    Mixue Bingcheng was founded in 1997 and provides consumers with high-quality and affordable freshly made fruit drinks, tea drinks, ice cream, coffee and other products. As of the end of 2024, it has 46,479 stores worldwide.

    Currently, Mixue Bingcheng is actively expanding its operations in overseas markets. In April of this year, the first Mixue Bingcheng outlet in Central Asia opened in a trial mode in Almaty, Kazakhstan.

    “Research on overseas markets and feedback from retail outlets show that the overseas market has significant potential,” said Feng Hao, general manager of Mixue Bingcheng in Central Asia. “The markets of the SCO countries have a good cultural and economic base and will be priority areas for development in the future.”

    Mixue Bingcheng is the embodiment of a series of Chinese fresh tea drink brands that are aiming to expand overseas markets. According to reports, the tea drink brand BING CHUN has opened or signed agreements to open more than 3,500 outlets worldwide, including more than 500 overseas, and another brand WEDRINK has opened more than 2,000 outlets in China and more than 1,000 outlets in Southeast Asia, Central Asia and other regions.

    “Mixue Bingcheng reflects the growing trend of Chinese beverage companies going global. Through supply and distribution worldwide, these brands offer consumers affordable premium beverages,” said Chen Zhenjie, deputy head of the China Food Industry Association.

    Chinese brands are offering consumers around the world more choice by expanding overseas, and China itself is welcoming more high-quality foreign brands to its market, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said in early July. -0-
