  • MIL-Evening Report: The re-emergence of polio in Papua New Guinea shows global eradication remains elusive

    Source: The Conversation (Au and NZ) – By Michael Toole, Associate Principal Research Fellow, Burnet Institute

    Last week the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared a polio outbreak in Papua New Guinea (PNG).

    The highly infectious virus was found in two healthy, polio-vaccinated children who were screened following detection of the virus during routine wastewater sampling in Lae, PNG’s second largest city. Wastewater samples are also positive in the capital Port Moresby, indicating the potential of spread around the country.

    The strain has been identified as circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus type 2, similar genetically to a strain circulating in Indonesia.

    So what does this mean? And what will happen now in PNG?

    First, what is polio?

    Polio, or poliomyelitis, is a highly contagious disease caused by the poliovirus. It primarily affects children.

    Most infections don’t cause significant symptoms and go largely unnoticed. But less than 1% of infections result in paralysis.

    Poliovirus is spread by person-to-person contact or the ingestion of contaminated virus from faeces. The virus multiplies in the gut of people who are infected, and they shed the virus in their stool for several weeks. In this way it can spread through a community, especially in areas with poor sanitation.

    A recent review also suggested a greater role for transmission via respiratory particles than we previously thought.

    Wild poliovirus (as distinct from vaccine-derived poliovirus, which we’ll discuss shortly) was a major public health issue prior to the rollout of vaccination in 1950s. This campaign led to the virtual elimination of the disease in rich countries such as Australia.

    Since the Global Polio Eradication Initiative was launched in 1988, cases have decreased by 99% globally. Wild poliovirus remains endemic only in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

    Polio vaccines

    There are two types of vaccines – the oral polio vaccine and the inactivated polio vaccine.

    Delivered as two drops in the mouth at least four times in early childhood, the oral vaccine contains a live-attenuated (weakened) form of the poliovirus. It triggers a strong immune reaction in the gut that slows the replication of wild poliovirus, and reduces shedding in the stool, limiting transmission.

    The oral vaccine does carry a small risk of the weakened vaccine strain causing paralysis. This occurs in
    roughly one in 2.7 million doses of the oral vaccine administered, usually at the first dose.

    The inactivated polio vaccine (part of the routine immunisation program in Australia) contains an inactivated or dead form of the poliovirus, which is unable to cause polio in the recipient.

    Given as an injection, this vaccine stimulates the immune system to produce protective antibodies in the blood against poliovirus. Three doses of the inactivated vaccine are highly protective against developing symptoms and paralysis from polio.

    However, this vaccine is thought not to be as effective as the oral vaccine at preventing infection and shedding in the gut. Therefore, it doesn’t prevent transmission.

    What is vaccine-derived poliovirus?

    As the weakened poliovirus in the oral vaccine is still shed in the stool, it can spread in communities with poor sanitation. The vaccine strain can mutate to a form that can cause paralysis, like wild poliovirus. The result, circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus, is a problem particularly when polio immunisation rates are low.

    The risk of international spread of vaccine-derived poliovirus has been assessed as high by the WHO and United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. There were outbreaks in 39 countries in 2023–24.

    A novel oral polio vaccine, nOPV2, which is less likely to mutate, has been used in outbreaks of vaccine-derived poliovirus since 2021.

    Routine vaccination with the inactivated polio vaccine is key to preventing vaccine-derived poliovirus, and is recommended by WHO. The polio endgame will involve this transition from the oral vaccine to the inactivated vaccine.

    In 2019, all countries had introduced the inactivated vaccine. However uptake remains low because of a lack of resources and inadequate access to health services in poor countries.

    What happens now in PNG?

    The PNG government has responded swiftly to activate its polio emergency response plan, supported by partners including WHO, UNICEF and the Australian government.

    Notably, PNG’s vaccination rate is among the lowest in the world, with only about 50% of children born each year receiving the recommended childhood vaccines, including the oral polio vaccine. To induce herd immunity and prevent outbreaks of disease, coverage should be at least 95%.

    PNG was declared polio free in 2000. But there was an outbreak in 2018 of vaccine-derived polio type 1 with 26 cases across nine provinces. The outbreak was brought under control through supplementary rounds of vaccination, enhanced surveillance, and expanded communication and community engagement.

    There are many lessons to be learned from the successful response to the 2018 polio outbreak. These three pillars of the response remain relevant:

    • mass vaccination (using nOPV2)
    • enhanced surveillance for cases and wastewater sampling
    • communication (through traditional and social media) and localised community engagement.

    Further research will be crucial to understand where transmission is occurring and target the response accordingly. This includes the question of potential for spread between Indonesia and PNG – a neglected health security issue.

    How about the risk in Australia?

    While the risk of spread of polio in Australia is low, the virus does not respect borders, and we cannot become complacent.

    Australia’s overall coverage with the inactivated vaccine is close to 95% but there has been a concerning decline in childhood immunisation since the COVID pandemic. Australia must address this and maintain its polio wastewater monitoring system.

    Supporting PNG and working with other countries towards global polio eradication is the best way Australia can protect itself.

    This outbreak is a timely reminder that the last mile in the global eradication of polio remains elusive. As we emerge from a pandemic, the need for international cooperation, strengthening health systems and responding swiftly to health emergencies such as polio couldn’t be stronger.

  • MIL-OSI Australia: Firearms seized – Acacia hills

    Source: Northern Territory Police and Fire Services

    Northern Territory Police Force, in collaboration with the Australian Border Force (ABF), have seized multiple firearms and other prohibited items following a joint operation in Acacia Hills.

    On 13 April 2025, ABF officers at the Sydney Gateway Facility intercepted a prohibited import—a firearms silencer—addressed to a 62-year-old male residing at a rural property in Acacia Hills. The individual is a known person of interest to police, with his firearms licence having been revoked in 2019.

    On 16 May 2025, members of the NT Police Firearms Audit and Enforcement team, alongside ABF officers, executed a comprehensive search of the 56-hectare property under section 119AA of the Police Administration Act. The male was apprehended at the scene.

    ABF firearms and explosives detection dogs were deployed and indicated several areas of interest within the primary dwelling. During the search, officers located and seized:

    • A Mini Ruger 14 .223 semi-automatic rifle with two 30-round magazines (one loaded), concealed under a couch.
    • A Ruger M77 .300 Win Mag bolt-action rifle hidden within shed pylons.
    • Multiple boxes of live ammunition and spent shell casings.
    • A night-vision thermal weapon sight and multiple firearm scopes.
    • Firearm cleaning equipment.
    • Approximately 3 grams of cannabis.
    • Evidence of a makeshift shooting range beneath a veranda.

    Following the discovery of cannabis, a section 120B search warrant was executed in addition to the initial 119AA search.

    Search and Rescue Section (SRS) and Territory Support Division officers assist in conducting a detailed grid search of the surrounding bushland, confirming no further weapons were present.

    The male has been issued a Notice to Appear in the Darwin Local Court on 15 July 2025 for the following offences:

    • Possess/use Category D firearm while unlicensed
    • Possess/use Category B firearm while unlicensed
    • Possess ammunition without a licence
    • Possess unregistered firearm
    • Possess less than traffickable quantity of a Schedule 2 dangerous drug

    Additionally, ABF issued the male with an infringement notice totalling $4,950.

    Senior Sergeant Alex Brennan said, “This incident highlights not only the ongoing risks posed by individuals unlawfully possessing firearms and prohibited imports, but also the seamless collaboration between agencies when it comes to investigating firearms offences.”

    ABF Commander Tracie Griffin said people should remember that any weapons or parts that are purchased overseas have to come across the border, and warned “that’s where our highly trained officers, detector dogs and cutting-edge x-ray technology are deployed”. 

    “In the wrong hands, these weapons could be deadly. If we detect them at the border, we will seize them and where appropriate prosecute those trying to bring them in illegally,” Commander Griffin said. 

    “Recreational shooters and firearm enthusiasts importing firearms, firearm parts or other weapons online should be very clear about the regulations in place. 

    “Anyone attempting to import prohibited weapons, including firearm parts, runs the risk of losing those goods and facing possible criminal prosecution.”

    Importing firearms without a permit is a serious offence with penalties including imprisonment for up to ten years and/or fines of up to $525,000. 

    Anyone with information about illegal firearms or related activity is urged to contact police on 131 444 or anonymously via Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or online at Crime Stoppers NT.

    • NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Workstations and RTX PRO Servers Accelerate Robot Simulation and Training
    • Agility Robotics, Boston Dynamics, Foxconn, Lightwheel, NEURA Robotics and XPENG Robotics Among Many Robot Makers Adopting NVIDIA Isaac

    TAIPEI, Taiwan, May 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — COMPUTEX — NVIDIA today announced NVIDIA Isaac GR00T N1.5, the first update to NVIDIA’s open, generalized, fully customizable foundation model for humanoid reasoning and skills; NVIDIA Isaac GR00T-Dreams, a blueprint for generating synthetic motion data; and NVIDIA Blackwell systems to accelerate humanoid robot development.

    Humanoid and robotics developers Agility Robotics, Boston Dynamics, Fourier, Foxlink, Galbot, Mentee Robotics, NEURA Robotics, General Robotics, Skild AI and XPENG Robotics are adopting NVIDIA Isaac™ platform technologies to advance humanoid robot development and deployment.

    “Physical AI and robotics will bring about the next industrial revolution,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “From AI brains for robots to simulated worlds to practice in or AI supercomputers for training foundation models, NVIDIA provides building blocks for every stage of the robotics development journey.”

    New Isaac GR00T Data Generation Blueprint Closes the Data Gap
    Showcased in Huang’s COMPUTEX keynote address, NVIDIA Isaac GR00T-Dreams is a blueprint that helps generate vast amounts of synthetic motion data — aka neural trajectories — that physical AI developers can use to teach robots new behaviors, including how to adapt to changing environments.

    Developers can first post-train Cosmos Predict world foundation models (WFMs) for their robot. Then, using a single image as the input, GR00T-Dreams generates videos of the robot performing new tasks in new environments. The blueprint then extracts action tokens — compressed, digestible pieces of data — that are used to teach robots how to perform these new tasks.

    The GR00T-Dreams blueprint complements the Isaac GR00T-Mimic blueprint, which was released at the NVIDIA GTC conference in March. While GR00T-Mimic uses the NVIDIA Omniverse™ and NVIDIA Cosmos™ platforms to augment existing data, GR00T-Dreams uses Cosmos to generate entirely new data.

    New Isaac GR00T Models Advance Humanoid Robot Development
    NVIDIA Research used the GR00T-Dreams blueprint to generate synthetic training data to develop GR00T N1.5 — an update to GR00T N1 — in just 36 hours, compared with what would have taken nearly three months of manual human data collection.

    GR00T N1.5 can better adapt to new environments and workspace configurations, as well as recognize objects through user instructions. This update significantly improves the model’s success rate for common material handling and manufacturing tasks like sorting or putting away objects.

    Early adopters of GR00T N models include AeiRobot, Foxlink, Lightwheel and NEURA Robotics. AeiRobot employs the models to enable ALICE4 to understand natural language instructions and execute complex pick-and-place workflows in industrial settings. Foxlink Group is using them to improve industrial robot manipulator flexibility and efficiency, while Lightwheel is harnessing them to validate synthetic data for faster humanoid robot deployment in factories. NEURA Robotics is evaluating the models to accelerate its development of household automation systems.

    New Robot Simulation and Data Generation Frameworks Accelerate Training Pipelines
    Developing highly skilled humanoid robots requires a massive amount of diverse data, which is costly to capture and process. Robots need to be tested in the physical world, which can present costs and risk.

    To help close the data and testing gap, NVIDIA unveiled the following simulation technologies:

    Foxconn and Foxlink are using the GR00T-Mimic blueprint for synthetic motion manipulation generation to accelerate their robotics training pipelines. Agility Robotics, Boston Dynamics, Fourier, Mentee Robotics, NEURA Robotics and XPENG Robotics are simulating and training their humanoid robots using NVIDIA Isaac Sim and Isaac Lab. Skild AI is using the simulation frameworks to develop general robot intelligence, and General Robotics is integrating them into its robot intelligence platform.

    Universal Blackwell Systems for Robot Developers
    Global systems manufacturers are building NVIDIA RTX PRO™ 6000 workstations and servers, offering a single architecture to easily run every robot development workload across training, synthetic data generation, robot learning and simulation.

    Cisco, Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Lenovo and Supermicro announced NVIDIA RTX PRO-powered servers, and Dell Technologies, HPI and Lenovo announced NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell-powered workstations.

    When more compute is required to run large-scale training or data generation workloads, developers can tap into NVIDIA Blackwell systems like GB200 NVL72 — available with NVIDIA DGX™ Cloud on leading cloud providers and NVIDIA Cloud Partners — to achieve up to 18x greater performance for data processing.

    Developers can deploy their robot foundation models to the NVIDIA Jetson Thor platform, coming soon — enabling accelerated on-robot inference and runtime performance.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: /Economic Review/ A small Chinese county has acquired its own niche in the global tire market

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

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

    JINAN, May 19 (Xinhua) — Ten years ago, Ahmed Moussa, a trader from Algeria, started buying tires in a region of China known as Guangrao, a county with a population of only about half a million people in eastern China’s Shandong Province.

    “You will find quality tires at competitive prices here,” Musa said at the 15th China /Guangzhou/ International Rubber Tire & Auto Accessories Exhibition, which ended on May 17. The event attracted more than 50 of the world’s leading tire companies, including those from the Fortune 500 list. Moreover, all 10 of the world’s largest tire makers were present at the exhibition.

    A. Musa’s company, Sarl Famo Pneumatique, sold about 300,000 tires from Guangzhao in 2024 and plans to increase orders.

    In the mid-1990s, the eastern Chinese county, located near China’s second-largest oil field, Shengli, had already become the country’s largest rubber hose production base. However, as the market became saturated with such products, some local manufacturers switched to producing automobile tires.

    With an annual output of 177 million radial tires, 86.6 percent of which are exported, Guangrao is home to China’s largest rubber tire industrial cluster, said Sun Xiaohua, head of the local bureau of industry and information technology. The county’s export revenue of 25.95 billion yuan (about $3.6 billion) in 2024 underscores its dominant position.

    “Here you can find almost all the most modern tires at prices 30-40 percent lower than world prices,” said a Russian buyer named Ivanov, emphasizing that this is a breakthrough offer in terms of cost.

    At the Shandong Huasheng Rubber Group booth, engineers demonstrated self-sealing tires using polymer composites and specially designed sound-absorbing foam inserts – technologies previously monopolized by premium brands. Liu Kaihua, a representative of the company, explained that many Chinese manufacturers can now achieve comparable or even better results through independent research and development.

    The buyers who came from all over the world took note of this significant breakthrough. “Tires from Guangrao have reached new heights in terms of quality and performance. Although many premium tires here now retail for over 1,000 yuan, the price-quality ratio is still very high,” Musa said.

    Behind Guangrao County’s success is the drive for innovation by local enterprises and the accelerating pace of smart transformation in China’s tire industry, supported by government initiatives.

    In 2015, China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology included the country’s tire industry in a smart manufacturing pilot program to promote intelligent transformation through policy guidance, standard setting, and financial support. Guidelines for 2024 included upgrading outdated tire manufacturing equipment, and by 2027, the document aims to achieve a level of digital transformation where the productivity of key CNC processes reaches more than 85 percent.

    Guangrao-based Shandong Yongsheng Rubber Group Co., Ltd. has completed an intelligent upgrade of its radial tire production line, replacing 182 key machines/sets and installing automated logistics systems, resulting in a significant improvement in production efficiency. According to Hao Yufeng, who is in charge of smart manufacturing at the company, Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled equipment and automated guided vehicles have reduced labor requirements. He noted that 95 percent of the key equipment is controlled by digital technology.

    The tire boom in Guangrao shows no signs of slowing down. The county is doubling down on expansion and innovation to maintain its lead. This year, the county government plans to invest 9.31 billion yuan in 14 key projects, increasing annual radial tire output to more than 260 million units.

    The boom underscores China’s dominance in the tire industry. In 2024, China exported rubber tires worth more than $20 billion, accounting for 35 percent of the global total. That figure makes the country the world’s leading tire manufacturer and exporter.

    At the 15th China /Guangzhao/ International Rubber Tire & Auto Accessories Expo, it was clear that Guangzhao’s transformation is not just a local story, but part of a larger shift in China’s manufacturing sector. Traders like A. Musa are optimistic. “My customers and I are looking forward to the cutting-edge innovations that Guangzhao’s tire companies can offer,” he added. -0-

  • MIL-OSI China: Closer cooperation with China to unlock new opportunities in Malaysian palm oil sector

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

    Closer cooperation with China will unlock new commercial opportunities in the palm oil sector, Malaysian Plantation and Commodities Deputy Minister Chan Foong Hin said on Sunday.

    Chan, who is leading a delegation on an official visit to China from May 18 to 24, said Malaysia aims to strengthen bilateral trade relations, unlock new commercial opportunities, and drive innovation within Malaysia’s palm oil sector.

    “This official visit underscores Malaysia’s commitment to deepening economic ties with China, enhancing market access for palm oil products, and supporting sustainable growth across key export sectors,” he said in a statement.

    “China is Malaysia’s third-largest importer of palm oil and palm-based products globally, accounting for 10 percent of the total palm oil export value in 2024,” he added.

    Chan will also be attending the Seventh Western China International Fair for Investment and Trade in Chongqing and will host a roundtable meeting with importers from Western China, noting the growing importance of the region as a major palm oil importer.

    “The meeting will also discuss expanding partnerships in Western China, a region experiencing robust market growth and increasing demand for sustainable raw materials,” he said.

    On the evening of May 1, the National Theatre of Dakar, the capital of Senegal, hosted the premiere of a film about Nyan’s life in the Chinese city of Yiwu.

    The story of Senegalese entrepreneur Ababacar Nyan is the first episode of the documentary series “Yiwu: City of Wonders”. The series, produced by the China Documentary Research Center, was filmed for nearly four years starting in 2021, covering more than 10 countries and regions. It follows the entrepreneurial experiences of several foreigners in Yiwu.

    In 2013, Nian came to China for the first time. Shortly before, he had won a tender to purchase sports equipment in his home country and, full of enthusiasm and hope, went to Yiwu, Zhejiang Province, to look for suitable suppliers. However, the project suddenly stalled, funding dried up, and he found himself in a difficult situation, forced to stay in Yiwu.

    Faced with unexpected challenges, Nyan did not give up, but gritted his teeth and started over. He enrolled in international trade courses, worked hard to improve his language skills, interned at a Chinese company, ran his business during the day, and studied Chinese and other subjects at night. He said that during that time, he worked “from dawn to dusk” almost every day, but he did not feel tired because “every step forward brought more clarity and hope.”

    As Nyan gained experience and expanded his business connections, he gradually found his feet. He founded his own import-export company, aiming to help African entrepreneurs more easily integrate into Chinese supply chains.

    After stabilizing his business, Nian started a family in China. In his spare time, he makes videos and writes about his life in China, hoping that more people will learn about Yiwu and China through the eyes of an African.

    It was in this situation that a Chinese documentary team approached Nian. The crew captured him taking inventory in a warehouse, coordinating orders at a factory, and video chatting with clients early in the morning. These seemingly ordinary moments of everyday life were captured and presented in the film.

    At the premiere, the documentary’s executive director, Zhang Nan, said the experience of filming in Yiwu had changed his understanding of trade and the world. “Trade is not just the movement of goods, it is a connection that transcends cultural, linguistic and even life barriers. It allows people from different countries to build trust in seemingly small transactions and create a common future through daily cooperation.”

    Under the frameworks of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation and the Belt and Road Initiative, China-Africa agricultural cooperation has yielded fruitful results in recent years.

    Through technology transfer, infrastructure development, equipment upgrade and industrial chain expansion, China has substantially boosted Africa’s agricultural productivity and sustainable development capacities, injecting strong momentum into the continent’s modernization drive.

    Moving forward, China is committed to fully implementing its plan to support Africa’s agricultural modernization, notably by tackling development bottlenecks and fostering innovative cooperation, so as to extend the benefits of modernization and usher in a new era of China-Africa agricultural partnership.

    TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER

    As the rainy season waned in late March in Madagascar, lush paddies blanketed the landscape of Mahitsy, a town about 35 km northwest of the capital, Antananarivo. At the China Hybrid Rice High-Yield Demonstration Base, Chinese agricultural expert Hu Yuefang walked through the fields, pausing to examine rice stalks alongside local farmers.

    Rice is Madagascar’s primary staple, occupying roughly half of the country’s cultivated agricultural land. Yet for years, low-quality seeds and outdated farming methods have hindered productivity, leaving domestic demand unmet.

    To help Madagascar achieve food self-sufficiency, China launched a hybrid rice demonstration center project in the country in 2007, aiming to promote high-quality hybrid rice varieties, transfer advanced farming techniques, and boost crop yields.

    After years of dedicated efforts, Chinese experts have successfully developed five hybrid rice varieties tailored to local conditions, achieving average yields of 7.5 tonnes per hectare — two to three times that of local varieties. These high-yield strains have been cultivated across a cumulative area of about 90,000 hectares nationwide, making Madagascar the largest grower of hybrid rice in Africa.

    Femosoa Rakatondrazala, a farmer from Mahitsy, switched to planting hybrid rice three years ago. He said the crop has transformed his family’s life: “Hybrid rice brought us new hope. We used to struggle to feed ourselves, but now we have a surplus to sell and even save up to buy more land.”

    Michel Anondraka, director general of agriculture and livestock at Madagascar’s Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock, praised China’s contribution to the country’s agricultural progress. “Hybrid rice is a high-yield variety, and increasing its production will ensure Madagascar’s rice self-sufficiency,” he said.

    Today, Chinese hybrid rice has been introduced to over 20 African countries. As China-Africa agricultural cooperation deepens, a growing number of Chinese-aided projects have taken root across the continent, bolstering food security and nudging African agriculture toward modernization.

    In Tanzania’s Morogoro Region, China Agricultural University launched the “Small Technology, Big Harvest” project in 2011, promoting China’s maize-intensive planting technique. Starting with a single household in one village, the project now spans more than 10 villages and over 1,000 households, with maize yields doubling on average.

    In Rwanda, China’s Juncao technology has enabled 4,000-plus households to shift to mushroom farming, creating over 30,000 jobs. The technology has now been introduced to over 100 countries, with 17 demonstration bases established globally.

    Under the first three-year action plan of the China-Africa Cooperation Vision 2035, China has dispatched over 500 agricultural experts and trained nearly 9,000 professionals. By 2023, China had built 24 agricultural technology demonstration centers in Africa, promoting over 300 advanced technologies. These efforts have increased crop yields by an average of 30-60 percent, benefiting over 1 million smallholder farmers.

    CHINESE SOLUTIONS

    On the undulating plains of Siaya County in western Kenya, newly built irrigation canals stretch across the fields. Along one channel, farmer Peter Onyango directed river water into freshly dug furrows in readiness for vegetable planting.

    The canals are part of the Lower Nzoia Irrigation Development Project, the largest of its kind in Kenya. Constructed by China’s Sino Hydro Company Limited, the project’s main structures were completed and operational in April 2024, bringing water to parched farmland along the project line.

    Agriculture is the backbone of Kenya’s economy, employing roughly 70 percent of the population. Yet only about 4 percent of the country’s arable land is irrigated, leaving farmers heavily dependent on unpredictable rainfall. The project, including 111-km irrigation canals, 71-km drainage canals, and 736-km field canals, plays a vital role in addressing this challenge and enhancing agricultural productivity.

    According to Kenya’s National Irrigation Authority, the project’s first phase, set for completion in May 2025, will irrigate more than 4,000 hectares on Nzoia River’s left bank, benefiting 12,600 farmers. A second phase will extend irrigation to another 4,000-plus hectares on the right bank.

    During a site visit in January, Kenyan President William Ruto said the project would help expand irrigated farmland, urging farmers to make full use of the infrastructure to boost food production and support the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda.

    Edward Mare Muya, a Kenyan irrigation agronomist, said the Chinese enterprise applied modern technology, innovative approaches and scientific management throughout the infrastructure, which serves as a model to accelerate Kenya — and Africa at large — from rain-fed farming to sustainable irrigation-based agriculture.

    In South Africa, China’s intelligent devices are transforming modern farming. At Fountainhill Estate in KwaZulu-Natal Province, sugarcane fields swayed gently in the breeze as a drone from Chinese tech firm XAG hovered just three meters above the crops, precisely spraying fungicides.

    Covering 2,250 hectares, the farm had long struggled with Eldana moth infestations, with traditional manual pesticide application proving inefficient and wasteful. “The Chinese drones have completely changed the whole farming practices,” said farm manager Deon Burger.

    The key advantage of drone operations lies in their efficiency. Agricultural service contractor Johan Prinsloo explained that manually spraying pesticides over 40 hectares of sugarcane requires 30 to 40 workers working an entire day, whereas with a drone, a team of just three people can complete the task.

    Drones also offer greater precision. Drone pilot Lucius Du Plessis said, “With 3D terrain mapping and real-time adjustments, we can spray with pinpoint accuracy, reducing pesticide waste and minimizing environmental impact.” “The Chinese drone technology is taking us toward more precise farming,” Prinsloo added.

    Since entering the South African market in 2020, XAG drones have serviced over 66,000 hectares of farmland. Today, these smart devices have spread far beyond South Africa’s sugarcane fields to a broader African landscape — soaring over rice paddies in Mozambique, wheat fields in Ethiopia, and vegetable gardens in Ghana. Chinese drones are becoming a vivid symbol of Africa’s journey toward agricultural modernization.

    INDUSTRIAL CHAIN EXTENSION

    In Kenya’s Murang’a County, macadamia orchards yielded a bountiful harvest in April. As morning mist clung to the trees, farmers stepped into fields to gather the season’s bounty. In the distance, trucks from Hongokee — the Kenyan arm of China’s Hunan Jianglai Food Co., Ltd. — rumbled toward the processing plant, laden with freshly harvested nuts.

    As a major global production area, Kenya’s macadamia nuts enjoy a strong reputation on the international market, with prices steadily rising in recent years. Yet, most local factories remain confined to basic processing such as shelling, lacking advanced capabilities like grading, flavoring and packaging. As a result, the product fetches low returns, and with frequent export policy fluctuations, both farmers and enterprises have long struggled with constrained profits.

    Recognizing the potential of Kenya’s high-quality raw materials, Jianglai invested nearly 30 million yuan (4 million U.S. dollars) in 2023 to establish a macadamia processing plant in the capital of Nairobi, equipped with advanced Chinese machinery and technology for shelling and other deep processing activities.

    Wu Huazhong, Hongokee’s purchasing manager, said the plant has commenced trial production and is expected to become fully operational in the second half of this year. Within five years, it aims to achieve an annual processing capacity of 6,000 tonnes and generate around 200 jobs.

    Strong demand from the Chinese market has directly driven the expansion of Kenya’s macadamia plantations. Jane Mburu, who grows 400 macadamia trees in Murang’a, had a bumper harvest last year. “The Chinese company offers twice the local purchase price,” she said. “Their stringent quality standards have also helped us improve planting techniques.”

    John Mwangi, a local procurement personnel at Hongokee, said, “By investing in local production, we not only meet China’s demand for premium nuts but also help local processors upgrade their equipment and technology, promoting a shift toward more advanced and value-added production.”

    In the semi-arid southwest region of Madagascar, goat farming accounts for over 80 percent of the country’s total. However, limited domestic demand and a weak industrial base have long confined local goat farming to small-scale household operations, making it difficult to achieve large-scale development and improved profitability.

    To drive industry upgrading, in September 2023, Chinese firm Sino-Malagasy Animal Husbandry (Madagascar) established the country’s first dedicated goat meat processing plant in line with Chinese standards. With a designed annual capacity of 10,000 tonnes, the plant is expected to reach full production within three years.

    During the third China-Africa Economic and Trade Expo in 2023, China and Madagascar signed an agreement on goat meat exports. In September 2024, the firm obtained export certification and successfully delivered its first shipment of 900 kg of frozen goat meat to China’s Hunan Province, marking China’s first-ever import of mutton products from Africa.

    The company has now built a complete industrial chain that spans tropical forage cultivation, livestock rearing, meat processing and exports, according to Zhang Ting, executive president of the firm.

    “This plant will advance Madagascar’s livestock sector and extend the value chain,” said Anandraka. “We will seize the opportunity presented by the Chinese market to accelerate livestock sector modernization and usher in a new chapter in China-Africa agricultural cooperation.”

  • MIL-OSI USA: Díaz-Balart, Espaillat Reintroduce Bipartisan Secure E-Waste Export and Recycling Act

    Source: United States House of Representatives – Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart (25th District of FLORIDA)

    May 13, 2025

    WASHINGTON, D.C. – Representatives Mario Díaz-Balart (R-FL-26) and Adriano Espaillat (D-NY-13) reintroduced the Secure E-Waste Export and Recycling Act (SEERA) to strengthen U.S. national security by halting the export of electronic waste to high-risk foreign entities.

    The bill would curb the flow of U.S. e-waste to foreign nations, which is on track to reach over 80 million tons by 2030. Upon its arrival in foreign nations, U.S. e-waste is frequently discarded in ways that are environmentally destructive, unlawfully turned into counterfeit electronics or insufficiently refurbished electronics products that are then resold as new. Concerningly, these counterfeit and unsafe electronics are often then resold to buyers in the United States, where the faulty materials can make their way into sensitive U.S. military equipment as well as critical U.S. infrastructure.

    The Secure E-Waste Export and Recycling Act prohibits the export of specified e-waste and outlines the process for the registration and compliance of export declarations and for the disposal of electronic waste in the United States.

    Congressman Mario Díaz-Balart said, “As we work to free America from unfair and hostile trade practices, the enactment of SEERA would be an important step in that direction–strengthening our national security against China and protecting our future. Proper handling of electronic waste ensures our critical data and infrastructure remain protected and that dangerous materials are handled responsibly. Importantly, it would set requirements for the recycling of these products to be done domestically while creating new jobs. Passing this legislation will fortify and reinforce our national security as well as our future.”

    Congressman Adriano Espaillat said, “As technology evolves faster than ever, so does the volume of electronic waste generated in the U.S.—waste that, if not properly managed, can pose serious risks to our national security and the environment. Today, unregulated actors around the world continue to exploit U.S. e-waste to manufacture counterfeit electronics, some of which re-enter the global supply chain and threaten consumer safety, cybersecurity, and intellectual property. Proper e-waste recycling isn’t just an environmental issue—it’s a national security imperative. SEERA addresses this urgent need by keeping sensitive materials out of the wrong hands, supporting climate goals, and creating thousands of American jobs through secure, domestic recycling infrastructure.”

  • MIL-OSI USA: California invests $1.7 billion to improve safety, resiliency of highways – including millions for highways damaged by LA fires

    Source: US State of California 2

    May 16, 2025

    What you need to know: The state is investing almost $1.7 billion for improvements to California’s highway system, including $86.5 million for improvements to infrastructure damaged during the Los Angeles firestorms earlier this year.

    SACRAMENTO – Governor Gavin Newsom today announced that the California Transportation Commission (CTC) has allocated nearly $1.7 billion to help improve and strengthen the state highway system. Guided by Governor Gavin Newsom’s Build More, Faster – For All infrastructure agenda, these improvements will make California communities safer and more climate resilient.

    In addition to these proactive, long-range efforts, the CTC allocated $86.5 million to repair vital roadways and other transportation infrastructure damaged during recent wildfires and storms in Southern California.

    “Today’s monumental investment puts Californians’ tax dollars to work making critical safety and resiliency improvements to highways throughout the state that support the travel of millions of residents each day. We’re also directing millions to help repair vital infrastructure damaged by the Los Angeles fires.”

    Governor Gavin Newsom

    Projects include:

    • $195.5 million to rehabilitate roadway and drainage systems, add a bike trail and pedestrian bridge, as well as upgrade safety along Interstate 805 in the cities of San Diego, Chula Vista and National City.
    • $129 million to replace the existing Cordelia Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Facility along westbound Interstate 80 near Fairfield.
    • $30 million to replace a retaining wall and rebuild a slope drapery protection system near Big Rock Road in Malibu and reconstruct hillsides above State Route 1 near Mulholland Drive, all of which were impacted by the Palisades Fire and rainstorms.

    “Investments made today support Caltrans’ mission to build and maintain a transportation system that helps Californians now and decades into the future,” said Mike Keever, Acting Director for Caltrans. “This funding translates into safer travel, more accessible mobility options and strengthening our roadways to protect all travelers during extreme weather events.”

    Of the total allocation this month, $655 million came via Senate Bill (SB) 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, and nearly $567 million from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021 (IIJA).

    IIJA, also known as the federal bipartisan infrastructure bill, is a once-in-a-generation investment in our nation’s infrastructure to improve the sustainability and resiliency of our country’s energy, water, broadband and transportation systems. California has received nearly $62 billion in federal infrastructure funding since its passage, including investments to upgrade the state’s roads, bridges, rail, public transit, airports, ports and waterways. The funding alone has already created more than 170,000 jobs in California.

    Meanwhile, SB 1 invests approximately $5 billion annually toward transportation projects. It provides funding split between the state and local agencies. Road projects progress through construction phases more quickly based on the availability of funds, including projects that are partially funded by SB 1.

    The First International Online Sales Fair of Russian Brands in Moscow. Dmitry Chernyshenko greeted the participants of the Festival-Fair

    On May 17, the first International Online Sales Fair of Russian Brands was held in Zaryadye Park in Moscow. At the same time, the Made in Russia festival and fair was officially launched in Harbin, and will last until May 21. The participants of the event were united by a joint teleconference.

    The event is being implemented under the program for promoting domestic products under the national brand “Made in Russia,” approved this year by order of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

    Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Dmitry Chernyshenko assessed the exhibition and welcomed the participants of the festival-fair. He emphasized the historical connection between the peoples of Russia and China and noted the importance of supporting such events to strengthen bilateral relations.

    “This event unites two wonderful cities – Moscow and Harbin. But most importantly, it strengthens the connection between two great nations, which throughout their long history have stood hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder, supporting each other, developing friendship and cooperation. This wonderful event, connecting our nations, has been held for several years with the support of the Russian Export Center. The importance of the festival-fair “Made in Russia” was especially noted by the leaders of our countries – Russian President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping at a recent meeting held in the Kremlin on May 8, which emphasized the desire to further develop bilateral relations. The last festival-fair was also a great success, largely due to the personal visit of President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin to the exhibition in Harbin,” said Dmitry Chernyshenko.

    The Deputy Prime Minister wished the participants successful work, new business contacts and expressed hope for the further development of Russian-Chinese cooperation within the framework of the Intergovernmental Commission for the Preparation of Regular Meetings of Heads of Government.

    He also presented blogger Yang Runxin with a certificate for her contribution to strengthening Russian-Chinese trade and economic relations, especially in promoting and popularizing the national brand “Made in Russia” in China.

    More than 60 manufacturers from various regions of Russia took part in the online fair in Moscow. Dmitry Chernyshenko got acquainted with the products presented at the exhibition and expressed gratitude to the participants for their contribution to strengthening international relations, emphasizing that they use their reputation and audience to achieve this important goal.

    Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the People’s Republic of China to the Russian Federation Zhang Hanhui thanked the organizers for their support and regular holding of the fair, which provides opportunities for enterprises and attracts more and more participants. He noted that President Xi Jinping recently successfully visited Russia and this 11th visit, during which the need for further development of bilateral relations was emphasized, was evidence of excellent contacts between the leaders of the two countries.

    The event included live broadcasts on the international e-commerce platform. During them, Chinese residents were presented with more than 100 product items: chocolate, waffles, seafood, cereals, honey, flour, jams, birch sap, chicory, pickled cucumbers and other food products and drinks. They were also presented with various cosmetics, household chemicals and toys for children.

    “The fairs in Moscow and Harbin will help Chinese consumers get acquainted with the widest possible range of high-quality goods from Russia, discover new brands, and Russian companies will not only increase their recognition in the B2C segment, but also establish business contacts with the largest distributors in China. As a result of the already held festivals and fairs, entrepreneurs have concluded export contracts worth over 4.5 billion rubles. In order to gain a foothold in the market and take substantial steps towards increasing sales, today we are developing, together with our Chinese partners, a trade infrastructure for promoting Russian products under our national brand. Thus, we are opening national expositions, permanent offline and online retail outlets. All this, undoubtedly, works together to increase the recognition of Russia, its culture, as well as to increase trust and interest in our products,” said Veronika Nikishina, General Director of the Russian Export Center.

    The opening ceremony of the festival-fair was also attended by Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Nikolai Zhuravlev, Ambassador Zhang Hanhui, Deputy Chairman of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade Li Qingshuang and blogger Yang Runxin. Heilongjiang Province Governor Liang Huiling and Consul General of the Russian Federation in Harbin Sergey Linnik joined the event via video link from Harbin.

    The online fair of Russian goods in Moscow was organized by the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia, the Russian Export Center (VEB.RF Group), the Roscongress Foundation, the Agency for Strategic Initiatives and the Moscow government with the support of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade. The general partner of the fair is the Moscow Export Center.

  • MIL-Evening Report: AI is moving fast. Climate policy provides valuable lessons for how to keep it in check

    Source: The Conversation (Au and NZ) – By Milica Stilinovic, PhD Candidate, School of Media and Communications; Managing Editor, Policy & Internet journal, University of Sydney

    cybermagician/Shutterstock

    Artificial intelligence (AI) might not have been created to enable new forms of sexual violence such as deepfake pornography. But that has been an unfortunate byproduct of the rapidly advancing technology.

    This is just one example of AI’s many unintended uses.

    AI’s intended uses are not without their own problems, including serious copyright concerns. But beyond this, there is much experimentation happening with the rapidly advancing technology. Models and code are shared, repurposed and remixed in public online spaces.

    These collaborative, loosely networked communities — what we call “underspheres” in our recently published paper in New Media & Society — are where users experiment with AI rather than simply consume it. These spaces are where generative AI is pushed into unpredictable and experimental directions. And they show why a new approach to regulating AI and mitigating its risks is urgently needed. Climate policy offers some useful lessons.

    A limited approach

    As AI advances, so do concerns about risk. Policymakers have responded quickly. For example, the European Union AI Act which came into force in 2024 classifies systems by risk: banning “unacceptable” ones, regulating “high-risk” uses, and requiring transparency for lower-risk tools.

    Other governments — including those of the United Kingdom, United States and China — are taking similar directions. However, their regulatory approaches differ in scope, stage of development, and enforcement.

    But these efforts share a limitation: they’re built around intended use, not the messy, creative and often unintended ways AI is actually being used — especially in fringe spaces.

    So, what risks can emerge from creative deviance in AI? And can risk-based frameworks handle technologies that are fluid, remixable and fast-moving?

    Sub communities within the larger Reddit platform often experiment with unintential uses of AI.
    Tada Images/Shutterstock

    Experimentation outside of regulation

    There are several online spaces where members of the undersphere gather. They include GitHub (a web-based platform for collaborative software development), Hugging Face (a platform that offers ready-to-use machine learning models, datasets, and tools for developers to easily build and launch AI apps) and subreddits (individual communities or forums within the larger Reddit platform).

    These environments encourage creative experimentation with generative AI outside regulated frameworks. This experimentation can include instructing models to avoid intended behaviours – or do the opposite. It can also include creating mashups or more powerful variations of generative AI by remixing software code that is made publicly available for anyone to view, use, modify and distribute.

    The potential harms of this experimentation are highlighted by the proliferation of deepfake pornography. So too are the limits of the current approach to regulation rapidly advancing technology such as AI.

    Deepfake technology wasn’t originally developed to create non-consensual pornographic videos and images. But this is ultimately what happened within subreddit communities, beginning in 2017. Deepfake pornography then quickly spread from this undersphere into the mainstream; a recent analysis of more than 95,000 deepfake videos online found 98% of them were deep fake pornography videos.

    It was not until 2019 – years after deepfake pornography first emerged – that attempts to regulate it began to emerge globally. But these attempts were too rigid to capture the new ways deepfake technology was being used by then to cause harm. What’s more, the regulatory efforts were sporadic and inconsistent between states. This impeded efforts to protect people – and democracies – from the impacts of deepfakes globally.

    This is why we need regulation that can march in step with emerging technologies and act quickly when unintended use prevails.

    Embracing uncertainty, complexity and change

    A way to look at AI governance is through the prism of climate change. Climate change is also the result of many interconnected systems interacting in ways we can’t fully control — and its impacts can only be understood with a degree of uncertainty.

    Over the past three decades, climate governance frameworks have evolved to confront this challenge: to manage complex, emerging, and often unpredictable risks. And although this framework has yet to demonstrate its ability to meaningfully reduce greenhouse gas emissions, it has succeeded in sustaining global attention over the years on emerging climate risks and their complex impacts.

    At the same time it has provided a forum where responsibilities and potential solutions can be publicly debated.

    A similar governance framework should also be adopted to manage the spread of AI. This framework should consider the interconnected risks caused by generative AI tools linking with social media platforms. It should also consider cascading risks, as content and code are reused and adapted. And it should consider systemic risks, such as declining public trust or polarised debate.

    Importantly, this framework must also involve diverse voices. Like climate change, generative AI won’t affect just one part of society — it will ripple through many. And the challenge is how to adapt with it.

    Applied to AI, climate change governance approaches could help promote preemptive action in the wake of unforeseen use (such as in the case of deepfake porn) before the issue becomes widespread.

    Over the past three decades, climate governance frameworks have evolved to manage complex, emerging, and often unpredictable risks.

    Avoiding the pitfalls of climate governance

    While climate governance offers a useful model for adaptive, flexible regulation, it also brings important warnings that must be avoided.

    Climate politics has been mired by loopholes, competing interests and sluggish policymaking. From Australia’s shortcomings in implementing its renewable strategy, to policy reversals in Scotland and political gridlock in the United States, climate policy implementation has often been the proverbial wrench in the gears of environmental law.

    But, when it comes to AI governance, this all-too-familiar climate stalemate brings with it important lessons for the realm of AI governance.

    First, we need to find ways to align public oversight with self-regulation and transparency on the part of AI developers and suppliers.

    Second, we need to think about generative AI risks at a global scale. International cooperation and coordination are essential.

    Finally, we need to accept that AI development and experimentation will persist, and craft regulations that respond to this in order to keep our societies safe.

    SYDNEY, May 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As XRP’s bullish momentum continues to shake the crypto world, XenDex is quickly becoming the most anticipated DeFi launch on the XRP Ledger.

    XenDex is developing the first all-in-one decentralized exchange (DEX) on XRPL, offering a seamless user experience that combines everything XRP has been missing. Currently in development, Version 1 of the platform is nearing release, and a first-look UI mockup will be shared in the coming days to showcase how all its DeFi features work together in one intuitive dashboard.

    BEIJING, May 18 (Xinhua) — The opening ceremony of the Made in Russia festival and fair was held in the city of Harbin on Saturday.

    Food products, drinks and other types of products from 35 regions of Russia are presented to residents of the administrative center of Heilongjiang Province in northeastern China and its guests. In particular, amber products from Russia are being demonstrated in Harbin for the first time, the Zhongxinshe news agency reports.

    The fair area is more than 10 thousand square meters. Visitors to the event were offered to taste apple pie, blueberry juice and a cocktail. You can place an order for delivery of Russian goods on the main e-commerce platforms.

    The fair had a special area dedicated to demonstrating achievements in the field of information technology and the Russian gaming industry.

    Currently, the Chinese market is seeing a growth in demand for Russian goods. The Made in Russia festival and fair provides Chinese consumers and potential partners with a wide range of high-quality Russian products, which stimulates the development of bilateral cooperation, noted Veronika Nikishina, General Director of the Russian Export Center (REC).

    As part of the festival-fair, business negotiations and meetings between entrepreneurs from both sides took place.

    Previously, REC held four Made in Russia festivals and fairs in China. The first fair was held from late January to early February 2024 in the cities of Shenyang and Dalian in Liaoning Province in northeastern China, the second in May 2024 in Harbin, the third in November 2024 in Chengdu in Sichuan Province, and the fourth in Shenyang earlier this year. -0-

  • Outlook for Nifty remains bullish, adopt buy-on-dips strategy: analysts

    Source: Government of India

    Source: Government of India (4)

    Indian equity benchmarks took a breather from their recent rally last week, with the Nifty ending just above the psychological 25,000 mark. Despite this pause, momentum indicators suggest a bullish setup going into the coming week, according to market analysts.
     
    While the headline indices showed signs of mild pressure, broader markets outperformed. The BSE Midcap index rose by 0.8 per cent, while the Smallcap index gained 1 per cent, reflecting continued buying interest beyond the large-cap space.
     
    “This suggests that investors are becoming more confident in the market’s breadth, which is often a bullish sign for the overall trend,” said Kailash Rajwadkar of Choice Broking.
     
    Technically, the Nifty recently broke out of a Rounding Bottom pattern on the weekly chart, supported by strong volumes—considered a positive indicator.
     
    “The pattern projects an upside potential toward 28,000 in the short term. Immediate resistance is seen at the 26,000–27,000 levels, where partial profit booking may be advisable. On the downside, 24,300 and 24,000 are strong support zones. Any correction toward these levels should be viewed as a buying opportunity, keeping the broader uptrend intact,” Rajwadkar said.
     
    Momentum indicators also support the bullish outlook. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 61.9 and is trending upward, suggesting strengthening momentum. Furthermore, the Nifty is trading well above its key exponential moving averages — the 20, 50, 100, and 200-day — which confirms sustained positive sentiment. This technical alignment continues to support a buy-on-dips strategy.
     
    In the derivatives segment, market volatility eased slightly. The India VIX declined by 23.49 per cent to 16.55, reflecting reduced fear and a more stable trading environment.
     
    “However, heavy call writing at the 25,500 and 26,000 levels indicates resistance in higher zones, while strong put writing at 25,000 reaffirms it as a key support level. Traders should monitor the 25,000 mark closely — a sustained hold above it may trigger fresh buying interest, though a risk-managed approach is advised in the near term,” Rajwadkar added.
     
    The Bank Nifty ended the week on a firm note, consolidating just below the crucial 56,000 level. Despite limited movement in Friday’s session, the index remained above previous breakout levels, indicating underlying strength in the banking sector.
     
    The weekly chart shows a breakout from a recent consolidation range, with price action continuing to hold above that zone — a signal of potential for further upside.
     
    According to Nandish Shah, Senior Derivative and Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities, the Indian Rupee appreciated marginally by 5 paise against the US dollar, closing at 85.50 on Friday. This gain was supported by a weakening dollar index and easing crude oil prices.
     
    Among sectors, Nifty Realty, Media, and FMCG emerged as top gainers, while Nifty IT, Healthcare, and Metals ended in the red.
     
    “The short-term technical outlook for the Nifty remains bullish as it continues to trade above its key short-term moving averages. The next resistance level is seen at 25,207, derived from the 76.4 per cent Fibonacci retracement of the previous major decline. On the downside, the 24,800 level could act as immediate support,” Shah added.

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SYDNEY, May 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As XRP continues to dominate headlines and bullish sentiment grips the market, XenDex is rapidly emerging as the XRP Ledger’s most promising DeFi project and it’s happening fast. With its soft cap already filled and the hard cap nearly complete, XenDex’s $XDX token is now on the verge of a full presale sellout.

    The driving force? Confidence in XRP is stronger than ever. After Judge Torres’ recent pro-Ripple rulings, the SEC’s lawsuit was officially withdrawn, and ProShares’ XRP Futures ETF received approval, setting the stage for XRP’s long-awaited breakout. Speculators and analysts are now predicting a long-term $1,000 XRP valuation, fueled by institutional adoption and favorable global regulation.

    Riding this wave, XenDex is building the DeFi infrastructure XRP has long needed. Its all-in-one decentralized exchange (DEX) is in active development, and a full UI mockup of Version 1 will be unveiled soon, showcasing every feature in action.

    • AI-Powered Copy Trading
    • Non-Custodial Lending & Borrowing
    • Cross-Chain Trading (XRP with BNB, Solana, Ethereum)
    • Staking & Yield Farming
    • DAO Governance via $XDX

    Purchase $XDX At A low Price

    The upcoming mockup will give the community a first look at how these features will function and only presale buyers will get early access to the live platform once it launches.

    Presale Details (Final Phase)

    • Soft Cap: Filled
    • Hard Cap: Almost Filled
    • Price: 1.25 XRP = 10 XDX

  • MIL-OSI: 100x Leverage. No KYC. Double Deposit Bonus. Crypto Futures Trading Made Easy on BexBack

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SINGAPORE, May 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As Bitcoin prices soar past the historic $100,000 mark and global tariff tensions ease, market sentiment has turned decisively bullish. Analysts now predict a period of heightened volatility, where massive price swings are expected. Holding spot positions may struggle to generate short-term profits in such conditions. As a result, 100x leverage futures trading has become the preferred tool for seasoned investors looking to maximize potential gains in this volatile market.

    BexBack Exchange is ramping up its efforts to offer traders unmatched promotional packages. The platform now features a 100% deposit bonus, a $50 welcome bonus for new users, 100x leverage on cryptocurrency trading, and no KYC requirements, providing exceptional opportunities for investors to trade freely, efficiently, and anonymously.

    Advantages of 100x Leverage Crypto Futures

    1. Amplified Profits: Control large positions with a small amount of capital, capturing more profits from market fluctuations.
    2. Low Capital Requirement: Participate in high-value trades with minimal investment, lowering the entry barrier.
    3. Increased Market Opportunities: Profit quickly from price fluctuations, especially in volatile markets.
    4. High Capital Efficiency: Leverage enables better use of your capital, expanding your investment potential.
    5. Profit from Both Up and Down Markets: Adapt to any market conditions, with opportunities to profit whether the market goes up or down.

    What Is 100x Leverage and How Does It Work?

    Simply put, 100x leverage allows you to open larger trading positions with less capital. For example:

    Suppose the Bitcoin price is $100,000 that day, and you open a long contract with 1 BTC. After using 100x leverage, the transaction amount is equivalent to 100 BTC.

    One day later, if the price rises to $105,000, your profit will be (105,000 – 100,000) * 100 BTC / 100,000 = 5 BTC, a yield of up to 500%.

    With BexBack’s deposit bonus

    BexBack offers a 100% deposit bonus. If the initial investment is 2 BTC, the profit will increase to 10 BTC, and the return on investment will double to 1000%.

    Note: Although leveraged trading can magnify profits, you also need to be wary of liquidation risks.

    How Does the 100% Deposit Bonus Work?

    The deposit bonus from BexBack cannot be directly withdrawn but can be used to open larger positions and increase potential profits. Additionally, during significant market fluctuations, the bonus can serve as extra margin, effectively reducing the risk of liquidation.
