    In Wuchuan County, Guizhou Province, intercropping of flowers and medicinal plants injects vitality into rural revival

    In early summer, in Dazhu Village, Huangdu Town, Wuchuan Autonomous County, Zunyi City, Guizhou Province, golden qili (Roxburgh rose) flowers bloom everywhere on the mountain slopes and fields, like a golden ocean covering the foothills and creating a vibrant rural idyll.

    In order to improve land use efficiency and increase local income, a new model of intercropping of cili and medicinal plant peicedanum was developed.

    Golden cili is rich in vitamin C and other nutrients, and has high nutritional and medicinal value. Its fruits are processed into fruit juices, candied fruits and dietary supplements after ripening, which opens up broad market prospects for it. Peicedanum, being a widely used medicinal raw material, enjoys stable demand in the market.

    In recent years, Huangdu Township has actively adjusted its agricultural structure and developed unique crop production industries in line with local conditions. The intercropping model of these two crops in Dazhu Village has become a vivid practical example of developing local production diversification, injecting new vitality into rural revival and paving the way for local residents to prosper through unique industries.

  • MIL-OSI: MediPharm Labs’ Board Continues Value Destruction for Shareholders with Sale of Hope Facility

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Complete Incompetence at the Board Level Results in Fire Sale of Treasured MediPharm Asset, the Hope Facility, to a Competitor

    Hope Facility was One of Canada’s Best Cultivation Assets Before it was Acquired by MediPharm, Grossly Mismanaged, and Ultimately Shut Down in 2024

    MediPharm Labs’ Board is Pursuing its Worst Deal Yet: A Highly Dilutive NO CASH Sale of the Remaining Company

    Apollo has a Concrete and Achievable Plan to Drive MediPharm’s Share Price from Nearly $0.06 to Over $1.00, Restoring Value to its Loyal Shareholders

    SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED TO VOTE THE GOLD CARD “FOR” APOLLO CAPITAL’S SIX DIRECTOR NOMINEES AND NOT VOTE MEDIPHARM’s GREEN CARD

    TORONTO, June 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Apollo Technology Capital Corporation (“Apollo Capital”), one of MediPharm Labs’ (“MediPharm”) largest investors, warns MediPharm shareholders that the Company’s current leadership is continuing its pursuit of value destructive M&A, with the ultimate goal of a non-cash dilutive sale of the entire company. A sale of the Company which would trigger over $5M in change of control and other payments to current management.

    “It’s a travesty for shareholders to have what is believed to be a $12M asset sold for just $4.5M, likely netting shareholders less than $4M after fees and expenses. Worse still, the acquirer will wisely use the facility to produce cannabis for export that will directly compete with MediPharm in Europe,” says Regan McGee of Apollo Capital.

    “Yesterday’s fire sale announcement makes it crystal clear that MediPharm’s Board has no actual value creation strategy, just a desire to sell off MediPharm’s assets at shareholders’ expense to keep paying themselves at 500% above market norms. Is MediPharm pursuing growth facilities as a strategy or not? Is the Napanee facility the next fire sale we will see to a competitor?” questions Regan McGee of Apollo Capital.

    Apollo expects the scaling of MediPharm’s Napanee facility to cost shareholders significantly more than what the buyer of the Hope Facility will spend to achieve real profitability. Apollo expects the scaling of MediPharm’s Napanee facility to cost between $3 million and $5 million and take 12 to 18 months to generate revenue. Apollo notes MediPharm’s management team does not have cultivation experience, which could result in millions of investment dollars needed before it provides a return, if ever.

    The Hope Facility, formerly known as CannaFarms, was built by the highly respected Laflamme family to be one of the first licensed facilities in Canada. As exceptional visionaries, the Laflamme family built a world-class facility at immense personal cost to service patients in need, including military veterans. After nearly a decade of strong operational success as a positive driver for the community, MediPharm leadership not only failed to realize the value of its acquisition, but handed its assets to a competitor for well below market value.

    This sale is a tragic outcome for MediPharm shareholders. CEO David Pidduck has sold off MediPharm’s Hope.

    Apollo Capital asks:

    • Why did the Board fail to capitalize on the value of the operational and profitable Hope Facility, as MediPharm’s competitor plans to?
    • How will the MediPharm and its shareholders pay for ill-advised investments in cultivation?
    • How will MediPharm avoid insolvency, given CEO Pidduck’s current strategy?
    • Is the Board pursuing a highly dilutive sale of the Company that will destroy remaining shareholder value?
    • In the case of such a transaction, how many millions of dollars of the shareholders’ money will go directly to the compensation of management?

    Apollo Capital has invested significant capital into MediPharm and nominated highly qualified director candidates who can drive the urgent change needed and propel share price over $1.00. For more information, see our strategic five-pillar plan at www.curemedipharm.com.

    Apollo urges shareholders to save their investments and vote the GOLD CARD by June 13, 2025. Shareholders are urged to NOT sign or return the green proxy cards sent by the Company.

  • MIL-OSI China: Uzbekistan, Jordan book debut World Cup spots, China eliminated

    Source: People’s Republic of China – State Council News

    Three more Asian teams have punched their tickets to the 2026 FIFA World Cup following the latest round of qualifiers, with Uzbekistan and Jordan set to make their tournament debuts and South Korea extending its streak to 11 consecutive appearances. China, by contrast, was eliminated with one match remaining.

    Uzbekistan secured its place with a goalless draw against the United Arab Emirates in Group A. The result was enough for the central Asian side – who featured Manchester City defender Abdukodir Khusanov and Roma forward Eldor Shomurodov – to become the fifth team to reach the tournament through the qualifying pathway, joining Japan, New Zealand, Iran and Argentina.

    Qatar, the 2022 World Cup host, edged 10-man Iran 1-0 in the same group. Both Qatar and the UAE will advance to the playoffs, where two more World Cup spots will be contested.

    In Group B, Jordan made history by qualifying for its first-ever World Cup following a 3-0 win over Oman. South Korea, already a regular presence on the world stage, sealed a 2-0 away victory against Iraq to maintain its perfect run since 1986. Iraq will join the playoffs, while the final playoff place from the group will be decided between Oman and Palestine, who face each other in the final round.

    China’s slim hopes were dashed in Group C after a 1-0 defeat to Indonesia in Jakarta. Ole Romeny converted a penalty just before halftime to secure the win and send Indonesia to the playoff round, while China was left to reflect on another failed campaign.

    Bahrain also exited contention following a 2-0 loss to Saudi Arabia. In Perth, Australia claimed a 1-0 victory over Japan, positioning itself strongly to secure a direct berth from the group. The Socceroos lead Saudi Arabia by three points and have a +8 goal difference advantage heading into the final round.

    In the women’s singles, Wang Zhiyi will face compatriot Han Yue in the semifinals after edging Gao Fangjie 21-18, 23-21 in an all-Chinese quarterfinal.

    In the men’s singles, world No. 1 Shi Yuqi cruised past fellow Chinese player Wang Zhengxing 21-13, 21-6 to earn a place in the final, where he will take on Denmark’s Anders Antonsen.

  • MIL-OSI USA: Cortez Masto, Mullin, Graham Push Legislation to Protect National Security, Strengthen U.S. Supply Chain for Rare Earth Magnets

    US Senate News:

    Source: United States Senator for Nevada Cortez Masto

    Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senators Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.), Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.), and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) introduced legislation to strengthen the domestic supply chain for rare earth magnets, which are critical components of cell phones, computers, defense systems, and vehicles, but are almost exclusively made in China. 

    Over 15% of the world’s rare earth minerals are mined and processed at the Mountain Pass 15 miles outside Primm, Nevada, which employs approximately 600 Nevadans. However, China controls 90% of the world’s manufacturing of these materials into magnets, which are critical to national defense and the U.S. economy. Cortez Masto’s legislation will help build the U.S. supply chain for these minerals by creating a tax credit for companies processing these rare earth oxides and manufacturing the magnets necessary to power American technology.

    “If we want to combat the influence of the Chinese Communist Party and strengthen our national security, we need to stop relying on China to power our defense and energy systems,” said Senator Cortez Masto. “This bipartisan bill will create American jobs and help fill critical gaps in our domestic supply chain.”

    “Mineral security is national security. The days of fully relying on adversaries for critical resources are over,” said Senator Mullin. “Rare earth magnets, such as Neodymium (NdFeB), are essential for countless applications including missile guidance, fighter aircraft, computer hard drives, audio equipment, MRI devices, and other economically critical technology. That is why bolstering our domestic rare earth magnet manufacturing capability is key to defending our nation and ensuring we have a strong economy. I’m proud to lead in this effort, alongside my colleagues, to strengthen our supply.”

    The Rare Earth Magnet Security Act would provide a $20 per kilogram production tax credit for high performance magnets that are manufactured in the U.S. and increase the credit to $30 per kilogram for magnets manufactured in the U.S. whose components are produced, recycled, or reclaimed domestically. Companion legislation introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives by Congressmen Guy Reschenthaler (R-Penn.-14) and Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.-15) was included in last year’s House Select Committee on China’s report on how to counter the influence of the Chinese Communist Party.

    The full text of the legislation can be found here.

    Senator Cortez Masto has led efforts in Congress to support Nevada’s critical mineral and mining industries, supporting tens of thousands of local jobs and paving the way for Nevada to power the clean energy economy. She has consistently blocked burdensome taxes on mining and wrote important provisions of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to bolster Nevada’s critical mineral supply chain and fund battery recycling and manufacturing programs in the state.

    Chinese FM to attend FOCAC ministerial meeting of coordinators, 4th China-Africa Economic and Trade Expo

    BEIJING, June 6 — Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi will attend the Ministerial Meeting of Coordinators on the Implementation of the Follow-up Actions of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) in Changsha, central China’s Hunan Province, from June 10 to 12, a Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson announced on Friday.

    Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, will also attend the opening ceremony of the Fourth China-Africa Economic and Trade Expo, also to be held in Changsha, said the spokesperson.

    When answering a related query at a regular press briefing, spokesperson Lin Jian said Wang Yi and representatives from the 54 African members of the FOCAC will attend the events.

    The FOCAC Beijing Summit was successfully held in September last year. Chinese President Xi Jinping attended the opening ceremony of the summit and delivered a keynote speech. China and Africa reached extensive common understandings on joining hands to advance modernization and building an all-weather China-Africa community with a shared future for the new era.

    The China-Africa relationship has been at its best in history, Lin noted.

    He added that following the summit, the two sides have been working closely together to actively implement the common understandings reached by the leaders and the outcomes of the summit, and have made important progress and achieved many early harvests.

    He said that China will enhance coordination with African countries with a focus on implementing the six proposals and 10 partnership initiatives put forward by President Xi for jointly advancing modernization, so that people in China and Africa will benefit more from the outcomes of the FOCAC summit.

    The two sides will work together to create more great stories about the high-quality development of China-Africa cooperation and send a strong message of solidarity and collaboration among members of the Global South, Lin said.

    BEIJING, June 6 — Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi held a phone call on Friday with French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot.

    Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, said Chinese President Xi Jinping and his French counterpart, Emmanuel Macron, held a phone call recently, reaching important consensus on strengthening strategic coordination between the two countries.

    Both sides should make preparations for the exchanges at all levels in the next stage, and China welcomes senior French representatives to the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai in 2025.

    Noting that the two sides have reached consensus on resolving economic and trade issues through dialogue and consultation, Wang stressed the need to enhance people-to-people, cultural and educational exchanges between the two countries, so as to promote the sound development of the China-France comprehensive strategic partnership and China-EU relations.

    Wang said that China and France, both upholding a tradition of independence and autonomy, should enhance strategic mutual trust and respect each other’s core interests.

    He stressed the Taiwan question is an internal affair of China concerning the country’s national sovereignty and territorial integrity, which is fundamentally different from the Ukraine issue. China attaches great importance to France’s commitment to the one-China policy, he said, adding that China believes France will turn this commitment into practice.

    Wang expressed China’s hope that France will uphold the right position and oppose NATO’s interference in Asia-Pacific affairs, emphasizing that the two countries should jointly uphold multilateralism and safeguard free trade, while opposing unilateral bullying practices.

    For his part, Barrot said Chinese Vice President Han Zheng is welcome to attend the UN Ocean Conference in France, noting that France-China relations are growing more important for today’s world in increasing uncertainty.

    France always regards China as a friend and partner, firmly adheres to the one-China policy, and looks forward to maintaining high-level exchanges and close strategic communication with China, he said.

    Strengthening people-to-people and cultural exchanges between the two sides will send a strong signal of opening up, which is of great significance at present, Barrot said, adding that France opposes trade wars and tariff wars, and is willing to continue to properly resolve economic and trade frictions through consultation.

    The two sides also exchanged views on issues concerning Ukraine, Palestine and Israel, as well as Iran’s nuclear program.

  • MIL-OSI China: Employment campaign launched for new graduates

    Source: People’s Republic of China – State Council News

    China launched a 100-day sprint for employment campaign, calling on universities and local authorities to seize the final stretch to boost employment for the class of 2025 before students graduate, according to a circular released by the Ministry of Education on Friday.

    The campaign urges universities to create more market-oriented job opportunities and encourages institutions to promote employment support measures including job expansion subsidies and job-seeking allowances.

    University presidents are urged to increase their participation in the job expansion campaign, especially focusing on disciplines with low job placement rates.

    The notice stipulated that the leadership of universities are supposed to visit at least 100 companies and secure 100 job opportunities, while faculty leadership teams at the college and departmental levels are expected to visit an average of 10 enterprises each, including alumni-run companies and firms within relevant industries.

    Public employment services will be introduced on campuses, with assistance for universities to partner with local human resources departments to set up employment service stations. Industry associations and chambers of commerce are also encouraged to mobilize enterprise job resources, sharing job listings more widely.

    The ministry emphasized speeding up the recruitment for government-supported positions, including programs for kindergarten and K-12 teachers, civil servants and State-owned enterprises, seeking to complete all recruitment by the end of August.

    Ongoing grassroots service initiatives such as the rural doctor project and the special post teacher program, a special recruitment program implemented to address the shortage of teachers in rural areas in central and western China, will be reinforced, while community jobs specifically for college graduates will also be increased.

    Regular universities and vocational schools will be supported to develop job positions such as administrative assistants and teaching assistants, in a bid to strengthen campus services while absorbing more university graduates into the workforce.

    Guidance for students will be strengthened through vocational training. The employment partnership between 100 universities and 100 counties will focus on identifying high-quality job opportunities in top-performing counties.

    Universities are urged to accelerate the development of micro-credential programs aligned with 60 key development areas across 12 urgently needed and high-demand industrial sectors, including artificial intelligence and the low-altitude economy.

    Institutions are required to swiftly launch and begin offering these targeted programs, aiming to help graduates from fields with limited market demand acquire the necessary knowledge and skills to enhance their employment competitiveness, the circular said.

    Colleges will establish records for graduates facing difficulties, offering continuous support for those who remain unemployed after leaving school.

    Employment safety education will also be reinforced, and a crackdown on illegal and irregular employment practices in the human resources market will be carried out, the ministry said.

    Chinese animated blockbuster “Ne Zha 2” premiered in the Hungarian capital of Budapest on Thursday night as part of the “Imazsia Chinese film week 2025.” The screening, presented in Mandarin with English subtitles, sold out within hours of the box office opening.

    “The fact that all tickets for today’s screening sold out in less than three hours shows that the success of Chinese cinema extends far beyond China’s borders and is generating increasing international interest,” said Victoria Varadi, chief organizer of the film week.

    “It is a great honor for us that this cinematic sensation could be brought to Hungary for the first time through the Imazsia Chinese Film Week,” she added.

    Meanwhile, Chinese Ambassador to Hungary Gong Tao spoke about the development of cultural ties within bilateral cooperation, saying that he expects the two sides “will continue to deepen cooperation in the field of film.”

    Members of the audience at the premiere expressed their appreciation for the movie.

    Anna Matus, a 22-year-old medical student from Szeged, attended with her brother. “I really, really liked the film. I loved the visuals, the characters, the plot twists — everything, really,” she told Xinhua after the screening.

    “As for my favorite character, I think it’s the main character,” she said. “I really enjoyed his development throughout the film.”

    Orsolya Racz, a 24-year-old student of the Chinese language, highlighted the animation’s appeal to audiences familiar with animated films. “The film was really great. I watch a lot of animated films myself, so I really loved the animation and the drawing style — how they brought out the elements in the film and the fight scenes, that was all very impressive to me.”

    Chris, a German engineering student currently based in Budapest, also praised the film, saying, “It was really, really interesting to see another culture.”

    Rooted in 16th-century Chinese mythology with a bold reinterpretation, “Ne Zha 2” was crafted over five years by a team of 4,000 animators and has since become the world’s highest-grossing animated film.

  • MIL-OSI China: Trump administration shuts down ‘Quiet Skies’ passenger surveillance program

    The Trump administration has closed a controversial program that used undercover U.S. air marshals on flights to surveil passengers, and removed a government official who took responsibility for putting Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard in it.

    Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem called for an investigation into the program as she announced its closure on Thursday. DHS said the program cost taxpayers 200 million U.S. dollars a year and “failed to stop a single terrorist attack.”

    In a recent meeting, administration officials confronted leadership at the Transportation Security Administration over what they said was politically motivated use of the Quiet Skies program under the Biden administration, reported The Wall Street Journal on Friday about the move.

    “The clash over Quiet Skies, a program that has long been a cause for concern for civil liberties advocates, is the latest example of the Trump administration accusing career officials of political weaponization,” it noted.

    The program was launched in 2010, and its existence was first uncovered by the Boston Globe in 2018. Undercover U.S. air marshals travel on flights with individuals included in the program.

    An earthquake with a magnitude of 6.4 struck northern Chile on Friday, causing power outages in several areas but no immediate reports of casualties, local authorities said.

    According to the National Seismological Center of the University of Chile, the quake occurred at 1:15 p.m. local time (1715 GMT), 54 kilometers south of Diego de Almagro in the northern region of Atacama, about 950 kilometers north of Santiago.

    The earthquake struck at a depth of 65 kilometers and was felt in nearby towns.

    Local media reported electricity outages in affected areas, and officials said a more detailed assessment would be released later in the day.

    Chile’s Navy Hydrographic and Oceanographic Service ruled out any tsunami risk.

    The National Disaster Prevention and Response System is continuing to assess potential damage to people, infrastructure, and essential services.

    Located on the Pacific Ring of Fire, Chile is one of the most seismically active countries in the world.

    More than 300 students, scientists, and government officials gathered Friday at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences for a special space science Q&A session with Chinese astronauts aboard the Tiangong space station.

    Dubbed the “Tiangong Classroom,” the event was co-hosted by the China Manned Space Agency, the Chinese Embassy in Hungary, and the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. It aimed to deepen growing cooperation between China and Hungary in the fields of aerospace, education, and innovation.

    During the session, Shenzhou-20 crew members Chen Dong, Chen Zhongrui, and Wang Jie responded to questions submitted in advance by Hungarian students. In a pre-recorded video, the astronauts also demonstrated zero-gravity science experiments, captivating the audience with examples from space.

    The event attracted questions from students representing over 100 Hungarian schools, touching on a wide range of space science topics. Many Hungarian students were thrilled to see their questions answered directly by astronauts in space.

    Tamas Pinter Keresztes, a 16-year-old from Zrinyi Ilona High School in Nyiregyhaza, is the founder and team leader of Hungary’s first high school rocket development group, Pannon Space Technologies. He shared his excitement with Xinhua: “I asked what strength-training equipment astronauts use aboard the station, and I also submitted an experiment idea, which got selected. This kind of cooperation between Hungary and China for promoting science makes me really happy.”

    Sara Lovati, 15, from ELTE Trefort Agoston High School in Budapest, asked about how microgravity affects the spinal column. She was curious about the astronauts’ real feelings after reading an article about how astronauts grow taller in space. “I love astronomy,” she said, adding that she hopes to study astrophysics in the future.

    From Szekesfehervar, 15-year-old Bence Kovacs of Szechenyi Istvan Technical School focused on the circadian cycle in space. His question is how the absence of a natural day-night rhythm affects the human body. “I’ve been following China’s space program online,” he said. “I wish them to have success in their scientific experiments, and of course, a safe return.”

    The student submissions were reviewed anonymously by a panel of scientists, including Adam Boldog, a researcher at the Svabhegy Observatory and one of the event’s scientific coordinators.

    “We evaluated how relevant the questions were to microgravity, how original they were, and whether they reflected a clear scientific mindset,” he explained, adding that it was hard to select dozens from hundreds of high-quality questions.

    Ferenc Hudecz, vice president of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, highlighted the significance of the event. “It highlights China’s emergence as a global leader in space research, and its serious commitment to inspiring younger generations and encouraging their curiosity and openness toward the world,” he said.

    Chinese Ambassador to Hungary Gong Tao hailed the event as a new chapter in China-Hungary aerospace cooperation. “Only through open cooperation can we climb higher and more dangerous peaks of science and technology,” he said.

    The three-member crew aboard the Tiangong space station was launched into orbit on April 24 for a six-month mission.

    Source: People’s Republic of China – State Council News

    China’s subsidies for car trade-ins are accelerating the adoption of new energy vehicles (NEVs), with monthly NEV penetration in the passenger car market expected to exceed 60 percent in 2025, according to an auto industry report released on Friday.

    The report, compiled by Automotive Data of China (Tianjin) Co., Ltd. and automobile information, trading and services platform Dongchedi, or DCar, noted that over 70 percent of the surveyed consumers said the subsidies boosted their purchase intent.

    In the first quarter of 2025, passenger car trade-in purchases hit 2.79 million units in China, a year-on-year increase of more than 1 million units. The report also showed that trade-in replacements had dominated subsidy categories, reaching 2.03 million units during the period.

    Consumers strongly favored subsidies with lower entry barriers, such as those for new-car purchases and trade-in replacements, Dongchedi’s user research revealed. As subsidies become routine, “applying for subsidies before buying” has become a common practice among consumers, of whom more than 50 percent rely on offline 4S stores for subsidy information, the report said.

    Source: People’s Republic of China – State Council News

    China’s international influence in maritime arbitration continues to grow steadily, with a marked increase in foreign-affairs-related cases and broader global engagement, said Ren Hongbin, chairman of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT).

    Ren, who is also director of the China Maritime Arbitration Commission (CMAC), made the remarks during a high-level dialogue on maritime and commercial arbitration in Beijing on Friday.

    In 2024, CMAC ranked among the world’s leading maritime arbitration institutions in terms of case volume. Foreign-affairs-related disputes last year increased 55 percent from 2023 and accounted for 39 percent of CMAC’s caseload, involving parties from 40 countries and regions, according to Ren.

    China is now home to 284 arbitration institutions nationwide, which have collectively handled over 5 million cases with a combined value exceeding 9 trillion yuan (about 1.25 trillion U.S. dollars) and involving disputing parties from more than 100 countries and regions.

    Looking ahead, Ren called for innovation-driven development in arbitration services and urged institutions to actively explore the application of digital technologies, including artificial intelligence.

    Leveraging information technology will reduce costs, improve efficiency and increase transparency, boosting the credibility and competitiveness of arbitration services on the global stage, Ren said.

    This recall is associated with an ongoing outbreak investigation of Salmonella Enteritidis illnesses. Products were distributed in AZ, CA, IL, IN, NE, NM, NV, WA and WY.
    August Egg Company is not selling fresh shell eggs at this time. Our firm has voluntarily been diverting eggs to an egg-breaking plant for over 30 days, which pasteurizes the eggs and kills any potential foodborne pathogens.
    Consumers who may have eggs produced in this plant, as identified by the plant code on one side of the egg carton, should return it to their place of purchase for a full refund. Further questions may be directed to the company at 1-800-710-2554, between 9am and 5pm PT.
    ######
    Additional Comments from August Egg Company:
    “August Egg Company of Hilmar, CA is voluntarily recalling 1,700,000 dozen shell eggs processed at our California plant and sold to various grocery customers. This recall has been initiated due to possible Salmonella enteritidis contamination, which poses a health risk. With that in mind, we believe it is appropriate out of an abundance of caution to conduct this voluntary recall, as consumers may still have these eggs in their homes.
    “It is important to know that when our processing plant identified this concern, we immediately began diverting all eggs from the plant to an egg-breaking facility, which pasteurizes the eggs and kills any pathogens.
    “August Egg Company’s internal food safety team also is conducting its own stringent review to identify what measures can be established to prevent this situation from recurring. We are committed to addressing this matter fully and to implementing all necessary corrective actions to ensure this does not happen again.”

    Source: People’s Republic of China – State Council News

    BEIJING, June 6 — The Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) has pledged to promote strengthened shareholder returns by encouraging listed companies to increase dividend payouts and continuously enhance corporate value.

    An SSE statement on Friday said the bourse will guide listed companies to raise the scale and frequency of dividend distributions, and to make better use of tools such as share buybacks, mergers and acquisitions (M&As) and investor engagement to unlock long-term corporate value.

    The statement was released following a Thursday seminar that brought together representatives of a number of Shanghai-listed companies, insurance firms and fund management institutions.

    Echoing the SSE, corporate representatives pledged to enhance operational performance, reward shareholders with generous dividends, and strategically employ M&As to strengthen business capabilities.

    A group of high-return companies has already emerged in the Shanghai market. For example, firms listed on the main board reported an average dividend payout ratio of 39 percent in 2024, with an average dividend yield of 3.6 percent.

    The SSE said China’s capital market has been improving in framework, structure and mechanism, with a strengthened foundation for high-quality growth.

    Highlighting confidence in Chinese assets, the SSE said it will enrich its portfolio of dividend-related index products and foster a virtuous cycle of long-term capital, patient capital and high-quality equity assets.
