  • MIL-Evening Report: Grattan on Friday: childcare is a ‘canary in mine’ warning for wider problems in policy delivery

    Source: The Conversation (Au and NZ) – By Michelle Grattan, Professorial Fellow, University of Canberra

    It’s such a familiar pattern. When a big scandal breaks publicly, governments jump into action, ministers rush out to say they’ll “do something” instantly.

    But how come they hadn’t seen problems that had been in plain sight?

    Who can forget then-workplace relations minister Tony Burke insisting he’d been unaware, before media revelations, that organised crime was in the CFMEU? After a Nine media expose, a large portion of the notorious union soon ended up in administration.

    When a childcare worker was charged with some 70 offences last week, Education Minister Jason Clare immediately declared he’d introduce legislation in the new parliament’s first sitting for the removal of federal funds from errant providers.

    After ABC reporter Adele Ferguson had exposed serious safety issues in the system on Four Corners in March, the Albanese government announced it would be “exploring” various measures to strengthen Commonwealth powers “to deal with providers that put profit over quality and child safety at risk”.

    In another expose, Ferguson this week revealed substantial problems in the training system for childcare workers.

    Federally, childcare comes under the education minister, and there’s also a dedicated minister for early childhood education (Anne Aly last term, now Jess Walsh). Basically, the federal government funds the system while the states and territories regulate it.

    Anthony Albanese made major promises for expanding childcare in his 2022 and 2025 election pitches. The government also supported higher wages for workers in the sector. Albanese has nominated “affordable childcare” as the legacy he wants to leave.

    It’s all the more surprising, then, that the government didn’t seem to spot a plethora of problems in an area so central to the prime minister’s ambitions.

    The government points to the division of responsibility between Commonwealth and states.

    But surely that explanation doesn’t wash or, if it does, the relevant federal and state ministers, public servants and the regulators have not been doing their designated jobs effectively.

    In various human service policy areas, there are split responsibilities, which differ in specific arrangements.
    Politically, this often brings blame-shifting, and arguments over money and accountability.

    The federal government attaches conditions, for example, to funding agreements for hospitals and schools, which fall under state responsibility. But in practice, there are slippages.

    Split responsibilities, whatever their precise form, can never be “set and forget” – rigorous, constant scrutiny needs to be built in.

    Childcare policy has its complications. But, in terms of complexities, it is nothing like, say, running the nation’s defences. There are not unknowns.

    The obvious issues within childcare include funding, safety, workforce numbers and training.

    The childcare revelations will inevitably lead to new regulations – ironically just as a debate about the desirability of easing excessive regulation in some sectors has become fashionable. In many policy areas, there are tensions between regulation and costs, and no unanimity about where the trade offs should be struck.

    The childcare imbroglio highlights the challenges when public policy is substantially delivered by the “for profit” private sector. Social services expert Gabrielle Meagher, professor emerita at Macquarie University, says, “It’s very difficult to regulate across the gaps governments open up when they fund policies that they don’t deliver themselves”.

    The childcare issue also invites much wider questions about how “governing” is working. Such as, are ministers too distracted?

    Today’s ministers spend more time than ever in the media, and travelling (part of the modern “permanent” election campaign). This takes a large amount of their attention. The prime minister is in the media most days.

    One has to wonder how much of this is a diversion for ministers from detailed policy work, especially as they must bone up on “talking points” because, given the 24-hour news cycle, they will be quizzed about issues outside their portfolios. They usually feel obliged to offer an opinion, rather than saying “sorry, that’s not my bag”.

    What about the public servants, who are formally responsible for policy advice, implementation and supervising?

    We saw with Robodebt shocking behaviour by some bureaucrats. There have been substantial reforms since then and, apart from that, the Albanese government has boosted the numbers and strengthened the capability of the public service.

    But is it fit-for-purpose? If it were, wouldn’t the problems in childcare, apparently well-known among many parents, have filtered up through the system to the ears of ministers – even allowing that regulation rests mainly with the states?

    Apart from failures by state regulators, one issue is who is telling what to whom about the sector. The federal minister responsible for early childhood education visits dozens of childcare centres. But on those visits, the minister will be talking to managers, who will have their own set of concerns. The minister is less likely at the centres to encounter parents who have had a bad experience.

    This goes to a wider problem: in areas of human service delivery, providers of services will usually be organised, while consumers lack the same coherent and forceful voice. Complaining through the media may be only way for families using a service to bring things to light.

    But what about the complaints that do flow into government departments, and ministers’ offices? Surely these give a channel for the red flags that point to a policy failure?

    Bureaucrats say all this communication amounts to a great deal of “noise”, but the challenge is to identify what it signifies, in terms of substantive problems to be addressed.

    When programs are growing very fast, the risk is that corners are cut in delivery. We saw this, disastrously, years ago during the global financial crisis when the Rudd government rolled out the home insulation scheme. A royal commission was damning about the failures of the program, which was marked by several deaths and many household fires. Safety had been compromised in the pursuit of speed and the delivery framework was inadequate.

    There are many lessons from the childcare policy failures. A big announcement does not automatically mean a successful policy delivery. Programs can be working on some fronts while flawed on others. All new or expanded policies should come with detailed evaluation arrangements which are then carefully monitored. And while ministers will boast publicly about how well a policy is doing, they should be constantly demanding to know from their bureaucrats where things might be going wrong.

  • MIL-OSI Africa: Western Cape concerned at 23 deaths on province’s roads in one week

    Source: Government of South Africa

    The Western Cape Government has expressed deep concern at the number of pedestrian fatalities and drunk driving arrests recorded during the past week. 

    Between 30 June and 6 July 2025, 23 people lost their lives in 23 crashes on Western Cape roads. 

    These include 15 pedestrians, four drivers, three passengers, and one motorcyclist. 

    The province believes the figures serve as a sobering reminder that reckless behaviour on the roads continues to have devastating consequences, particularly for the most vulnerable road users.

    “The loss of lives on our roads is avoidable and requires collective action. Too many innocent lives are impacted and altered by the poor judgment and decisions of road users,” said Western Cape Mobility MEC Isaac Sileku.

    Sileku said it was most alarming that 57 people were arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol during a week marked by heavy rain across the province. 

    “Driving while under the influence, no matter how small the amount, will not be tolerated. Drivers are urged to always prioritise safety,” added Sileku.

    The provincial government said the winter season brought added challenges for all road users. 

    “Shorter days, poor visibility, wet roads, and adverse weather conditions increase the risk of incidents, especially for pedestrians.” 

    Meanwhile, the Western Cape Provincial Government said driving under the influence remained one of the leading causes of road crashes and fatalities. 

    To improve safety and visibility on the roads, the Western Cape’s Provincial Traffic Services conducted 213 integrated roadblocks, vehicle checkpoints, and speed control operations across the province during the past week. 

    Over 27 000 vehicles were stopped and checked, resulting in just over 4 000 fines issued for various traffic violations. 

    A total of 78 arrests were made for various offences, including 57 for driving under the influence of alcohol, 11 for possession of fraudulent documentation, four for reckless and negligent driving, three for vehicles with overloaded goods, two for failure to furnish information, and one for speed-related arrest. 

    The Western Cape Government continues to urge all road users to act responsibly, especially during adverse weather conditions.

    “Pedestrians remain our most vulnerable road users, and the numbers recorded this weekend are a stark reminder. We all have a role to play in protecting lives on our roads, let’s drive, walk, and act with care,” the MEC added.

    Tips for motorists and pedestrians: 

    •    If you plan to drink, arrange for a sober driver, taxi, or e-hailing service.

    •    Never let a friend drive under the influence.

    •    Be part of the solution, report reckless drivers when it is safe to do so.

    •    Pedestrians are urged to take personal responsibility when heading out and wear bright or reflective clothing, especially in poor light conditions.

    •    Cross only at designated crossings or intersections where drivers expect to see pedestrians.

    •    Avoid distractions such as cellphones and headphones when walking near or across roads.

    •    Do not walk under the influence of alcohol. 

    •    Stay alert, always assume drivers cannot see you. – SAnews.gov.za

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Mikhail Mishustin gave instructions following the strategic session on the development of the auto industry

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Government of the Russian Federation – Government of the Russian Federation –

    An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    The draft Strategy for the Development of the Automotive Industry will be updated taking into account the need to improve support measures for domestic manufacturers. This instruction was given by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin following the results of strategic session on the development of the Russian auto industry.

    State support measures provided to Russian automobile industry enterprises are to be developed for the main segments of motor vehicles. At the same time, the conditions for access to them must be defined, including a high actual level of localization of products, consumer properties of the car, as well as prospects for export deliveries. Performance indicators for each support measure will be fixed in the state program “Development of Industry and Increasing Its Competitiveness”. The authorized ministries must submit their proposals on this matter by the end of November.

    The draft strategy being finalized should also provide for measures to increase labor productivity in the industry and reduce production costs. Another instruction concerns the formation of a forecast for the structure of the vehicle fleet, taking into account the development of the market for transport on alternative types of fuel, unmanned and connected transport. In the process of this work, long-term plans for the development of public transport infrastructure, increasing requirements for environmental protection, changing consumer preferences of citizens should be taken into account, and the segmentation of vehicles by type of fuel depending on the purpose of the transport and types of transportation, taking into account their range.

    In the course of updating the draft strategy for the development of the automotive industry, the authorized ministries will also have to work out issues of forming a technological map of cooperation between manufacturers of vehicles, automotive components and materials, and software developers in a manner similar to that for national projects to ensure technological leadership.

    In addition, Mikhail Mishustin instructed to take into account the need to establish legal foundations for the functioning of the institute of chief designers, bearing in mind their participation in the formation of technological policy.

    The strategic session on the development of the automotive industry took place on June 17. During his speech, Mikhail Mishustin emphasized that in order to strengthen technological sovereignty, it is important to expand industrial capacity, increase the production of domestic vehicles, and generally continue to form a modern ecosystem around the automotive sector.

  • MIL-OSI United Kingdom: Retrofit project that has made council homes warmer and has saved tenants money wins award

    Source: City of Birmingham

    Birmingham City Council tenants in more than 2,000 households are now living in greener, warmer council homes thanks to a scheme that won a Retrofit Project of the Year award.

    Birmingham City Council’s Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund (SHDF) programme won the Retrofit Project of the Year for the Midlands and Wales at the Unlock Net Zero Awards.

    The scheme – completed by sustainable regeneration specialist Equans, on behalf of the council – has helped tenants save £600-£1200 each year on energy bills, depending on the home and measures installed. Solar panels placed on buildings can save residents as much as £4 per day in electricity.

    The work will save 2,500 tonnes of carbon per year – the equivalent of driving over 1400 petrol cars for a year. You would need to plant over 41,000 trees and let them grow for ten years to offset 2,500 tonnes of carbon.

    Testing at the homes shows that retrofitted properties now have an Energy Performance Certificate of at least a C, with some reaching an A rating—the most energy-efficient rating available.

    Work to be done – Dreghorn Road, before works were undertaken as part of the scheme.

    The measures installed have included external wall insulation, new windows and doors, loft insulation, solar panels, high heat retention storage heaters and smart hot water tanks.

    To give residents greater control over their energy usage, the scheme installed smart energy monitoring devices into some homes, which also provides valuable data to the council highlighting how the retrofit measures perform, levels of dampness, and if tenants are experiencing fuel poverty.

    Councillor Nicky Brennan, cabinet member for housing and homelessness, said: 

    “Having greener, energy-efficient homes reduces our tenants’ energy bills, which is especially important during this cost-of-living crisis.

    “It is also great to see how the work has transformed the look and feel of neighbourhoods, building a greater sense of pride among residents.

    “These investments don’t just save tenants money, they also significantly contribute to the council’s net zero agenda. 

    “I am pleased to see that the award judges have said that our retrofit scheme has set a benchmark for excellence in retrofit delivery, one that has combined cutting-edge technology with resident-focused design.

    “I would also like to thank our delivery partner, Equans, who have been vital in identifying which properties were most in need of improvements and aligning this with our wider capital works programme. It has helped minimise disruption for our residents and maximised the benefits for them.”

    Rebecca Reynolds, Head of Sustainability at Equans, said:

    “This ambitious project shows the vast benefits of retrofitting homes on a large scale and the far reaching impact this has. It has drastically reduced the carbon emissions of council housing in Birmingham and improved thousands of lives by making homes more comfortable and affordable to live in.

    “It is vital that existing homes are modernised and made energy efficient for the next generation and we’re delighted that this scheme has won this much coveted award and the national recognition it deserves.”

    “Let’s face it – when there’s a heatwave, most of us are focused on getting outside and enjoying it while it lasts. But it’s easy to forget that medicines left in the heat – in cars, bags, or on sunny windowsills – might not work properly when you need them.

    “Some medicines can also make you more likely to burn in the sun, feel dizzy, or get dehydrated, especially if you’re taking diuetics or have a condition like asthma, heart disease, or diabetes.

    “To stay safe in the heat:

    • Store medicines somewhere cool, dry and out of direct sunlight – especially if you’re out and about
    • Know the signs of heat-related illness – stay hydrated and listen to your body
    • Take extra care in the sun if your medicine makes your skin more likely to burn

    “And remember, for all medicines it’s important to read the leaflet and speak to a healthcare professional if you have any questions.” 

    1. Keep medicines out of hot cars and direct sunlight

    Most medicines need to be stored at temperatures below 25°C. But cars, trains and buses can heat up quickly during the summer, and rooms with direct sunlight can get much hotter than you’d think. Even bags and pockets can get warm enough to cause problems, especially if you’re out all day or at a festival, sports event, or the beach.

    Heat can break down the active ingredients in medicines, meaning they might not work when you need them. That includes tablets, inhalers, hormone patches, insulin, and EpiPens. Some packaging will give clear storage instructions, but not all medicines come with a visible warning.

    Medicines that need to be kept in the fridge – such as insulin or certain liquid antibiotics – are especially vulnerable to heat. If they’re left out too long or stored incorrectly, they may not work properly when you take them.

    If your medicine has changed colour, developed an unusual smell, changed texture, or looks different in any way, this could signal heat damage. Ask your pharmacist for advice.

    If you’re at home, check the patient information leaflet for storage instructions and keep medicines in the coolest part of the house, away from direct sunlight. If you’re travelling, avoid leaving them in parked vehicles or warm bags. A cool bag can help if you’re going to be out all day.

    Heat damage can also affect how much medicine your body absorbs, potentially making your usual dose too strong or too weak. If you notice any changes in how you feel or how well your medicines seem to be working during hot weather, speak to your pharmacist or doctor.

    Don’t forget medical devices:

    It’s not just medicines – some medical devices can also be affected by heat or humidity. For example, blood glucose monitors may give people managing diabetes less reliable readings if used or stored in hot conditions.

    Keep devices and any test strips somewhere cool and dry, and check the instructions that came with them for any temperature guidance. If your device isn’t behaving as expected, try running a control check or speak to your pharmacist for advice.

    For more information about medicine safety, visit the MHRA website or report any concerns through the MHRA Yellow Card scheme.

    2. Drink more water and stay cool if you’re taking water tablets or blood pressure medication

    During hot weather, your body loses more water through sweating – but some medicines can make this worse, or make it harder for your body to cope with heat.

    People taking diuretics, or ‘water tablets’, such as furosemide, are already losing more fluid through urination. This can cause dehydration and mineral imbalances. Blood pressure medicines such as ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, or calcium channel blockers can also make it harder for your body to regulate temperature, especially during sudden hot spells. ACE inhibitors can even suppress your natural thirst response.

    Some diabetes medicines, including insulin and metformin, also increase the risk of dehydration or make early symptoms harder to spot. Antipsychotic medications, such as olanzapine or quetiapine, or stimulant medications for attention disorders can increase your body temperature, making you overheat more easily.

    Dehydration can cause dizziness, headaches, tiredness, confusion, and dark urine. This is particularly dangerous for older adults, young children, and people with heart or kidney conditions. If you start to feel unwell in the heat, move somewhere cooler, sip water slowly, and seek medical advice if you don’t feel better quickly.

    3. Check if your medicine increases your risk of sunburn

    Some common medicines can make your skin much more likely to burn, even in mild sunshine. This includes some antibiotics, diuretics, antidepressants, or skin treatments for acne or eczema. Painkillers such as ibuprofen or naproxen are also known to sometimes cause mild sun sensitivity, but this is less common and usually only a concern with frequent or long-term use.

    One medicine that requires particular care is methotrexate, used to treat conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, Crohn’s disease and cancer. It can cause extreme skin sensitivity to the sun – even at low doses. This can lead to painful rashes, blistering, or swelling that looks like severe sunburn. In rare cases, these reactions have led to serious infections.

    The risk goes up during sunny weather, especially if you’re outside more – whether you’re walking the dog, gardening, or heading off on holiday. Even a short walk at lunchtime or a train ride in the sun can be enough to trigger a reaction for some people.

    If you take any medicines, always read the patient information leaflet or check with your pharmacist to see if sun sensitivity is a side effect.

  • MIL-OSI United Kingdom: Revised designs submitted for Castle and Eye of York area

    Source: City of York

    A new flythrough has revealed what the Castle Car Park and the Eye of York could look like.

    Amendments to the existing Castle car park and Eye of York planning application have now been submitted.

    The key changes include:

    • a new green park
    • introducing a dedicated space for children to play
    • replacing the paved event space with 30 Blue Badge parking spaces to replace existing parking – two of which will have electric vehicle charging points
    • reducing the costs of the overall scheme to ensure it is deliverable.

    This follows public engagement on the revised concept designs which took place during summer 2024. Design consultancy, BDP, reflected priorities including accessibility, heritage and maintenance in the updated design.

    Councillor Katie Lomas, Executive Member for Finance, Performance, Major Projects, Human Rights, Equality and Inclusion at City of York Council, said:

    “This is an important step forwards for the project which aims to transform one of the most historic parts of the city centre.

    “These plans seek to create a versatile public space where people of all ages want to spend time, making it greener and more accessible, as well as more affordable and deliverable, when compared to previous plans. We are sensitive to the area and its history and that is reflected in the plans which honour some of the more difficult aspects of our past.

    “We also want this to be a space for all and as well as a number of accessible features, these plans include retaining 30 blue badge parking spaces, following public feedback.

    “We will continue to listen as this project moves through the planning process.”

    Councillor Pete Kilbane, Deputy Leader of the Council and Executive Member for Economy and Culture said:

    “We are working to transform this area from a car park to a people park.

    “These plans have been shaped by comments from local people, disabled groups, businesses and other stakeholders.

    “Our proposals include new play areas for families – something people have been asking for more of in the city centre, and green open space for people to relax and take some time out.

    “Our aspiration is for this historic site to be a free, welcoming place for residents and visitors to enjoy, away from the bustle of the city.”

    Matthew Costa, Landscape Architect Director at BDP, said:

    “We’ve listened carefully to what people want from this space and continue to shape the design around the community vision.

    “The updated plans aim to make the area greener, easier to get around, and more enjoyable for everyone – whether you’re coming to relax, play, or meet others. It’s about turning the Castle Gateway into a place that feels like an inclusive, cultural and nature-rich part of the city again.”

    The revised designs can be viewed in the updated flythrough video.

    The planning application can be found using this reference 22/00209/FULM via the Online Planning Register and comments can be made via the statutory planning process before at the Planning Portal. People can also email comments to planning.comments@york.gov.uk or post to Development Management, City of York Council, West Offices, York YO1 6GA.

    A report will be taken to the council’s Executive later this year, seeking a decision to close Castle car park, approval to procure a contractor to deliver the scheme, setting the delivery budget and timeframe, plus provide updates on other Castle Gateway schemes.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: White Nights Rally in Karelia: Team Extreme Climbs to Podium

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University –

    An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    The sports and technical creativity club “Extreme” took part in the final of the Karelia Rally Cup – the legendary race “White Nights”, which took place in the Lakhdenpokhsky district of the Republic of Karelia. In the team standings, the polytechnicians were awarded bronze medals.

    The competition was held on roads that had never been used as race tracks before. The new tracks became a real test of strength for the pilots and equipment. The mechanics also had to face various difficulties: on narrow rocky special stages, which were washed away by rain on the second day, not all athletes managed to find a balance between speed and caution.

    Three Extreme crews reached the finish line. In the 2000N category, bronze medals were won by Andrey Zhukovsky and Konstantin Mukhamendrikov in a Ford Fiesta, despite the fact that the crew overcame the last special stages with serious problems.

    Getting there somehow is better than dropping out of the race, the crew members sum up briefly.

    IMMiT 2022 graduate Danil Kolpin and Valery Smirnov earned credit points in the 1600N category on a VAZ-2108. The Polytechnicians assembled the car on the basis of the KSTT from a bare body.

    On the first day, the brakes created problems, on the second day, the electrics and gearbox. On such roads, the power steering was sorely lacking. The development vector is clear, we will improve the car and next time we will drive much more effectively, – shared Danil Kolpin.

    Pavel Alekseev and IE student Mikhail Krasovitsky were one step away from winning medals in a Renault Logan in the Standard category, which is intended for cars without serious sports modifications.

    On the very first special stage, a couple of turns from the finish, we hit the fuel tank and tore off the fuel pump. We got to the service station on a rope and spent the rest of the first day searching for and fixing the problem. We started the second day in eighth place with a big time penalty, we didn’t finish any special stage lower than third place, but, alas, we couldn’t make up the rest of the penalty minutes. In the end, we were fourth. For a fully factory “Logan”, this is an excellent result, but we strive for the best, – said Mikhail Krasovitsky.

    It was a tough race for the Polytechnicians. In such conditions, it is important not to give up, to continue the fight to reach the finish. It is impossible to win if you do not reach the end. This is probably our main principle of the team, – commented the team leader, mechanic of the Department of Transport and Mechanization of SPbPU Sergey Korovay.

  • MIL-OSI: Ryoko Pro Deep Dive: Why Is Ryoko Pro Wifi Router Gaining Global Recognition in 2025

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    New York City, NY, July 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Let’s face it — these days, being offline isn’t just inconvenient. It’s borderline disabling.

    Whether you’re working remotely, trying to stream content during a long trip, or simply need to upload a file before a deadline, a poor internet connection can throw your whole day off balance. And public Wi-Fi? That’s a gamble — slow, crowded, and in most cases, not exactly secure.

    That’s where the Ryoko Pro Portable Wi-Fi comes in.

    Marketed as a lightweight, travel-friendly portable WiFi hotspot, Ryoko Pro is one of those gadgets you probably didn’t know you needed… until you find yourself stuck without a signal. 

    It’s been gaining traction among digital nomads, business travelers, and even casual users who just want a more reliable way to stay connected while on the move.

    But what exactly is it? How does it work? And is it worth the hype — or just another overpromised travel gadget?

    This article breaks it all down.

    We’ll cover everything from first impressions and setup, to user reviews, how it compares with regular portable Wi-Fi, and whether it’s actually a legit solution or just clever marketing. If you’re considering Ryoko Pro, or just looking for a way to avoid insecure public Wi-Fi, you’re in the right place.

    Let’s dive in.

    What Is Ryoko Pro?

    Ryoko Pro is a portable WiFi router designed to give you reliable, secure internet access wherever you are — without needing to hunt for public Wi-Fi or pay for expensive international data plans.

    At a glance, it looks like a compact travel gadget. But what it actually does is pretty clever: it connects to 4G LTE networks using built-in virtual SIM technology, and then broadcasts a private Wi-Fi signal that your devices — phones, laptops, tablets, etc. — can connect to, just like they would at home.

    That means you can browse, stream, upload, or jump on a Zoom call from just about anywhere, even if you’re miles away from a Starbucks or hotel hotspot.

    Now, it’s not some bulky mobile router meant for tech nerds. Ryoko Pro was clearly built with portability and simplicity in mind. It’s small enough to fit in your pocket or bag, and setup is basically plug-and-play. Press the power button, and it gets to work — no apps, no installations, no calling tech support.

    What makes it different from your phone’s hotspot or regular mobile routers?

    • For one, Ryoko Pro isn’t tied to a single carrier or SIM card. Instead, it uses virtual SIM tech to automatically connect to the strongest local mobile network in whatever country you’re in. That’s a huge plus for travelers.
    • It also offers a secure connection — a key advantage over open public Wi-Fi networks, which are notorious for being easy targets for hackers.
    • And unlike tethering from your phone, Ryoko Pro runs on its own battery — which means no battery drain on your mobile device and better performance overall.

    The device also ships with a pre-installed SIM card that comes loaded with a small amount of free data (usually around 500MB). After that, you can top up only when you need to, without being locked into a monthly subscription.

    To put it plainly: Ryoko Pro is a tool for staying connected in real time — without the drama.

    Whether you’re a remote worker, business traveler, or just someone who wants to stream Netflix at a cabin without relying on hotel Wi-Fi, this device was made to give you a steady internet connection anywhere you go.

    Of course, the big question is: does it actually deliver on those promises?

    We’ll get to that. But first — let’s talk about what you get in the box, and what the first-time setup experience looks like.

    Visit Official Website to Get More Information

    First Impressions: Unboxing the Ryoko Pro

    Unboxing a new gadget can tell you a lot — not just about the product, but about the company behind it. With Ryoko Pro, the experience seems to strike a balance between simplicity and function — no unnecessary extras, no gimmicks, just what you need to get online quickly.

    If you’ve ever unboxed a tech product and felt overwhelmed by wires, thick manuals, and pieces you didn’t expect to assemble — this isn’t that. Everything about Ryoko Pro’s packaging seems to be designed with the traveling user in mind: compact, lightweight, and straightforward.

    Here’s what typically comes in the box:

    • Ryoko Pro device – The main unit is smaller than most smartphones, with a curved, smooth finish and minimalist design. It fits neatly in your palm, pocket, or carry-on without bulking things up.
    • Pre-installed SIM card – A key feature that removes one of the biggest pain points of traditional mobile hotspots. You don’t have to fumble with SIM trays or worry about compatibility. The SIM is already in place and ready to go.
    • USB-C charging cable – Ryoko Pro uses a modern USB-C port, which is a nice touch. It charges faster than outdated micro-USB options, and most users likely already own a USB-C charger from other devices.
    • Quick-start guide – Clear, concise, and actually helpful. The setup steps are so minimal that some people may not even need to read it, but it’s there just in case.

    Some bundles may also include a magnetic charging dock, though that depends on where you buy it from or whether there’s a current promotion. If it’s included, that makes recharging even more convenient — just place the device on the dock and let it juice up, no cables required.

    A few things that stand out:

    • Simplicity: There’s no software to install. No mobile app to download. No need to pair it with a phone first. Just press the power button and it handles the rest.
    • Design: It doesn’t scream “tech gadget.” It’s discreet enough to use in public without drawing attention, which is something frequent travelers and digital nomads appreciate.
    • Ready out of the box: The pre-installed SIM card and built-in global compatibility mean you can literally open it, turn it on, and be online within a minute — no tech skills required.

    For anyone who’s ever struggled setting up a router, dealt with an unreliable tether, or scrambled to connect at an airport, that ease-of-use is a game-changer. And for business travelers or people with tight schedules, the ability to get online immediately — without asking for a Wi-Fi password or registering at some login screen — makes a real difference.

    To be clear, Ryoko Pro is not trying to impress with flashy packaging or dozens of accessories. Instead, it delivers functionality first. And that’s actually what gives off a good first impression — it feels like a tool, not a toy.

    How Does Ryoko Pro Work?

    At first glance, Ryoko Pro might look like just another compact tech gadget. But under the hood, it’s powered by some pretty thoughtful engineering — designed to eliminate the most common headaches travelers and remote workers face when trying to get online.

    Let’s break it down in plain English.

    It Starts With Virtual SIM Technology

    Unlike most mobile hotspots that require you to manually insert a SIM card and configure network settings, Ryoko Pro comes with virtual SIM (vSIM) technology built in.

    What does that mean?

    Basically, the device can digitally switch between multiple local network providers, depending on where you are. When you turn it on, Ryoko Pro searches for the strongest 4G LTE signal in your area, and connects to that automatically — no SIM swapping or physical configuration needed.

    You don’t have to be tied to one telecom provider, nor do you need to fumble with paperclip tools trying to pop open SIM trays in a foreign airport. Ryoko Pro handles all of that behind the scenes.

    Coverage in 75+ Countries

    Because of the way it’s set up, Ryoko Pro is able to work across more than 75 countries. Whether you’re hopping between cities in Europe, road-tripping through the U.S., or working remotely from Southeast Asia, the device connects to local networks to give you internet access almost instantly.

    And no — you don’t need a new plan or contract for each country. You just turn it on, let it scan, and you’re good to go.

    Creating a Secure Personal Wi-Fi Network

    Once connected to the local 4G LTE tower, Ryoko Pro starts broadcasting a private Wi-Fi signal — just like the router in your home.

    You can then connect your:

    • Smartphone
    • Laptop
    • Tablet
    • Smartwatch
    • Even IoT devices (like a Kindle, Chromecast, or portable gaming system)

    …up to 10 devices at once.

    This is a huge deal for people traveling as a group, or for business users who need to be logged in on multiple screens at once. And since it doesn’t rely on your phone’s hotspot feature, you save your mobile battery for more important things — like calls, navigation, or camera use.

    Built-In Security Features

    A standout part of how Ryoko Pro works is its attention to privacy and safety.

    When you connect to public Wi-Fi — say, at a hotel or café — you’re often on an open, unsecured network. That means your data (emails, logins, bank info) can be vulnerable to eavesdropping or interception.

    Ryoko Pro skips that risk entirely by providing a secure internet connection with:

    • Encryption to protect your browsing data
    • A built-in ad blocker to improve speed and filter out trackers
    • Anti-phishing tools that flag sketchy websites trying to mimic legit ones (like “paypall.com” instead of “paypal.com”)

    So even if you’re handling business documents, logging into sensitive accounts, or just streaming while sipping coffee at a rest stop, you’re doing it in a private digital bubble.

    All Without Wires or Setup

    Here’s where things really come together.

    • You don’t need to install software or apps
    • There’s no need to register accounts
    • There’s no complex login screen every time you power on

    Just hold the power button, wait a few seconds, and Ryoko Pro does everything else in the background. It connects to the local tower, creates a hotspot, and lets your devices jump on.

    If you’ve ever tried setting up a traditional mobile router or struggled with inconsistent tethering from your phone, this kind of plug-and-play experience is a major breath of fresh air.

    In short:
    Ryoko Pro works by quietly handling the complex stuff so you can just connect and go. Whether you’re planning a weekend escape or living the digital nomad life, the technology behind it is built to keep you online without slowing you down.

    Next, we’ll look at what specific features make Ryoko Pro stand out from the crowd.

    Key Features of Ryoko Pro Portable Router

    If you’ve ever dealt with slow, unreliable Wi-Fi while traveling — or worse, been locked out of your work because a hotel router decided to have a bad day — then you already know how valuable a dependable portable hotspot can be.

    The Ryoko Pro isn’t just a convenience tool — it’s designed to address the most frustrating parts of staying online when you’re not at home. Below are the core features that set it apart from the typical alternatives.

    Automatic Network Switching with Virtual SIM

    One of Ryoko Pro’s standout features is its virtual SIM technology, which allows it to automatically connect to the strongest available mobile network in your location. Instead of being locked into one carrier, it scans for the best option and connects on the fly — no SIM card swaps, no manual setup.

    This is especially useful for international travelers, since it saves you the hassle (and cost) of buying new SIMs every time you cross a border.

    Global Coverage in 75+ Countries

    Ryoko Pro works across 75+ countries, offering strong, stable internet access whether you’re road-tripping in the U.S., visiting cities across Europe, or exploring remote locations.

    You don’t need to activate a new plan in each country. The built-in connectivity system handles that quietly in the background, giving you the freedom to just power it on and get connected.

    For digital nomads, freelancers, or even a business traveler hopping from meeting to meeting, this kind of seamless cross-border performance is a huge asset.

    Secure, Encrypted Wi-Fi on the Go

    One of the biggest risks with public networks is lack of security — hotel lobbies, cafés, airport lounges… all of them come with hidden dangers like snooping, malware, or phishing traps.

    Ryoko Pro eliminates that risk by creating a secure internet connection that’s yours alone. On top of encryption, it also includes:

    • A built-in ad blocker, which improves performance and protects against tracker-heavy sites
    • Anti-malware screening to prevent accidental downloads from shady domains
    • Phishing protection that helps block impersonator websites

    If you’re someone who handles sensitive data, logs into private work accounts, or just values online privacy, these are more than just bonus features — they’re essentials.

    Long-Lasting Battery Life (Up to 8 Hours)

    Battery anxiety is real, especially if you’re out and about for most of the day.

    Ryoko Pro is built with a long-lasting battery that gives you up to 8 hours of continuous use on a single charge. That’s enough to get through an entire workday, a long flight, or a full day of sightseeing without needing a wall outlet.

    And since it charges via USB-C, you don’t need to worry about carrying around a dedicated charger. It’s compatible with most modern charging cables — just plug in and power up.

    Connect Up to 10 Devices at Once

    Whether you’re a solo traveler with multiple gadgets or part of a group trying to stay connected, Ryoko Pro has you covered. It can support up to 10 connected devices simultaneously — phones, tablets, laptops, smartwatches — without killing the signal.

    This makes it a solid option for:

    • Families on vacation
    • Teams attending conferences
    • Creators uploading large files while livestreaming
    • Even just managing your own tech stack on the go

    No more fighting over who gets the hotspot. Everyone can stay online at the same time.

    Lightweight and Travel-Ready

    Physically, Ryoko Pro is about as travel-friendly as it gets. It’s compact, lightweight, and discreet — small enough to slide into a pocket or the side of a laptop bag without even noticing it’s there.

    There are no dangling wires, no antennas sticking out, and no extra parts to assemble. Just one device that’s ready to go whenever you are.

    For people who travel light or want fewer moving pieces to worry about, that’s a big win.

    No Subscriptions or Contracts

    This is something many people overlook when comparing portable Wi-Fi options. A lot of alternatives require monthly subscriptions, activation fees, or long-term contracts that limit your flexibility.

    With Ryoko Pro, there’s no forced subscription. It comes with a pre-installed SIM card and 500MB of data out of the box. After that, you top up when and how you choose — either through the manufacturer’s site or authorized providers.

    You’re not paying for what you don’t use, and there are no surprise roaming charges buried in a bill later on.

    In a nutshell, Ryoko Pro is built to solve real problems:

    ✔️ Crappy public Wi-Fi
    ✔️ SIM-swapping fatigue
    ✔️ Expensive roaming
    ✔️ Connection dropouts
    ✔️ Battery drain from tethering

    If you’ve dealt with any of those before, this kind of portable solution starts to make a lot of sense.

    Next up, we’ll zoom in on real-world use cases — how people are using Ryoko Pro in everyday situations, from camping trips to client calls.

    Real-Life Use Cases: Where Ryoko Pro Comes In Handy

    One of the best ways to understand the value of a device like Ryoko Pro is to look at the kinds of situations it’s designed for. It’s easy to rattle off features, but the real question is — how does it make life easier for actual people?

    Let’s walk through a few everyday scenarios where a portable hotspot like Ryoko Pro shines.

    Road Trips with Multiple Devices

    Imagine you’re on a long road trip. You’ve got your phone running navigation, your partner’s trying to stream music, the kids are watching YouTube in the backseat, and maybe you’re uploading some footage to your Google Drive.

    That’s a lot of connected devices, and most cars just aren’t equipped to handle that much bandwidth — if they offer any internet access at all.

    Ryoko Pro steps in as a central internet hub. You turn it on, toss it in the glove compartment, and everyone stays online. No signal drops, no burning through your phone’s data plan, and no arguments over whose device gets priority.

    International Travel Without Roaming Stress

    You land in a new country. Your phone greets you with a “Welcome to [insert random country]” text and a vague warning about international charges. Local SIM card stalls are confusing or closed, and the airport Wi-Fi requires a login you can’t translate.

    That’s where Ryoko Pro pays for itself.

    It boots up, finds the strongest local network, and gets you connected without you lifting a finger. Whether you’re in a taxi trying to pull up directions or waiting in a hotel lobby trying to confirm bookings, you’ve got real-time internet right out of the gate.

    No SIM switching. No roaming charges. Just seamless access.

    Camping, Hiking, and Remote Escapes

    Let’s say you’re out in nature — fishing by a lake, hiking into the woods, or just camping in an area with spotty signal. You’re not looking to doom-scroll Instagram, but maybe you do want to check the weather, answer a work email, or stream a game while sitting by the fire.

    Most portable routers would tap out here. But Ryoko Pro has been praised in reviews for maintaining a reliable connection even in areas where traditional mobile service is weak.

    In fact, some verified buyers mention using it to stream video content while off the grid, which says a lot about its stability and signal management.

    Working from Cafés or Public Spaces

    If you’ve ever tried to upload a file or join a Zoom call over crowded café Wi-Fi, you know the pain: slow speeds, laggy video, and random disconnections mid-sentence.

    Ryoko Pro gives you a private network to connect to — no bandwidth sharing with 50 other laptops, and no sketchy public Wi-Fi risks. Whether you’re handling sensitive files, attending a client meeting, or just sending out invoices, the secure internet connection it offers makes remote work feel a lot more like home.

    And because it supports up to 10 devices, you can connect your laptop, phone, and tablet — all without toggling between hotspots or juggling mobile data.

    Streaming or Gaming on the Go

    Not every use case is work-related. Sometimes you just want to watch a show or play a game while you’re stuck at the airport or riding shotgun on a long drive.

    Ryoko Pro has enough bandwidth to handle light gaming and HD streaming, assuming there’s decent 4G LTE coverage in the area. That makes it a solid choice for creators, gamers, or anyone who hates buffering screens.

    Business Travel Without IT Headaches

    Corporate travelers often have multiple devices, tight schedules, and a low tolerance for connectivity issues. Whether it’s checking into flights, joining conference calls, or uploading sales decks, they need to be online — period.

    Ryoko Pro offers that always-ready connection without depending on hotel Wi-Fi (which is often limited, unsecured, or just plain unreliable). With its long-lasting battery and ability to connect multiple devices, it makes sure you’re never one step behind just because of weak signal or a bad login portal.

    Bottom line?

    Ryoko Pro isn’t trying to replace your home broadband setup. It’s built for those moments when you’re not at home, but still need to be just as connected, productive, or entertained. Whether that means checking Slack from a train station, streaming football in the forest, or uploading a pitch deck from a Paris café — the use cases are endless.

    Who Needs Ryoko Pro?

    Not every gadget is for everyone — but Ryoko Pro seems to hit a sweet spot for a very wide range of people. If you’ve ever found yourself stuck without a reliable internet connection — especially when it mattered most — then this device is probably speaking your language.

    Here’s a closer look at who Ryoko Pro is really made for:

    Frequent International Travelers

    Let’s start with the obvious one.

    If you travel across borders even a couple of times a year, you already know the SIM card circus: different providers, incompatible plans, confusing top-ups, and roaming fees that feel like they were made to punish you for leaving the country.

    Ryoko Pro is tailor-made for this crowd. With its virtual SIM technology and support for over 75 countries, it removes the friction from staying connected abroad. Whether you’re jetting across Europe or island-hopping in Southeast Asia, it automatically locks onto the best local network — no SIM tray tools, no guesswork.

    Perfect for:
    Tourists
    Business travelers
    Travel content creators

    Remote Workers & Digital Nomads

    Let’s be real: working remotely sounds like a dream — until the Wi-Fi drops mid-meeting or your file upload stalls at 82%.

    Whether you’re taking work calls from a beach café or sending off proposals from a shared workspace, Ryoko Pro offers a private, secure internet connection that doesn’t depend on the venue’s dodgy router.

    And if you’re the type juggling multiple gadgets — laptop, phone, tablet — Ryoko Pro’s ability to support up to 10 connected devices makes your workflow smoother, not more complicated.

    Perfect for:
    Freelancers
    Digital nomads
     Remote startup teams

    Campers, Hikers & Off-the-Grid Adventurers

    There’s something magical about unplugging from the noise of the world — until you actually need to plug back in for a moment.

    Maybe you need to check a weather report. Or confirm a campsite. Or upload a GoPro video from a trail. Most mobile hotspots fail the moment you’re out of cell-tower range.

    Ryoko Pro, thanks to its strong signal-seeking capabilities, performs better than expected in these fringe zones. Several users have noted how it maintained a reliable connection even in remote cabins, lakeside retreats, or mountainous areas.

    Perfect for:
    Hikers
    Campers
    Vanlifers

    Families Who Travel (or Just Juggle a Lot of Devices)

    Let’s say you’re on a family trip. The kids are streaming cartoons. You’re checking directions. Your partner’s uploading a few photos to social media. And suddenly… your phone’s tethered hotspot buckles under the weight of it all.

    Ryoko Pro supports up to ten devices at once, making it an easy solution for keeping everyone online without splitting bandwidth or running out of mobile data. And since it doesn’t rely on your phone’s battery, you don’t have to deal with the dreaded “Low Power Mode” warning mid-trip.

    Perfect for:
    Traveling families
    Parents with multiple screens to manage
     Households with lots of devices, even at home

    Business Professionals on the Move

    If your calendar’s filled with airport gates, client visits, and coffee-fueled presentations, then slow Wi-Fi isn’t just a nuisance — it’s a liability.

    Ryoko Pro is for people who can’t afford to gamble on café routers or hotel Wi-Fi that’s “included” but barely usable. You can show up at a client’s office, pull out your Ryoko Pro, and know that your video call, presentation, or file transfer won’t suddenly fail you.

    Its long-lasting battery (up to 8 hours per charge) means it’ll likely outlast your day. And its USB-C charging makes it easy to top up alongside your other devices.

    Perfect for:
    Sales reps
    Consultants
     Executives and project managers

    Anyone Who’s Tired of Risky Public Wi-Fi

    Public networks are often slow, crowded, and worse — unsecured. If you’ve ever typed in your bank login or emailed a work document over hotel Wi-Fi, you’ve probably exposed your data more than you realize.

    Ryoko Pro offers a safer alternative. With its private network, encryption, and ad-blocking features, it’s a more secure way to get online — especially when you’re dealing with confidential information.

    Perfect for:
    Privacy-conscious users
    Professionals handling sensitive files
    Anyone who just doesn’t trust “Free Wi-Fi” signs

    In short?

    If you depend on internet access — and let’s be honest, most of us do — Ryoko Pro solves a very real problem. It’s not a luxury; it’s a safety net for your connection. Whether you’re traveling, working remotely, or just sick of unreliable networks, this is the kind of tool that pays for itself the moment your regular options fail.

    Is Ryoko Pro Legit, or Just Another Overhyped Gadget?

    Let’s be honest — the portable Wi-Fi space is full of bold claims and half-baked products. Every few months, a new “game-changing” device pops up promising global coverage, blazing fast speeds, and hassle-free setup. Most of them end up in junk drawers or collecting dust after one or two frustrating uses.

    So where does Ryoko Pro stand in all of this?

    If you’re wondering whether it’s legit or just another overhyped gadget, you’re not alone. It’s actually one of the most searched questions about the product — often worded as “Is Ryoko Pro a scam?” or “Can I trust this portable WiFi router?”

    Here’s what we know based on available research and user feedback:

    A Real, Shippable Product with Active Support

    Ryoko Pro is not some phantom gadget that disappears after you order. It’s a real, tangible product sold directly from the official manufacturer’s website, with a verifiable presence and customer support team.

    Most buyers report receiving the product within a reasonable delivery window, complete with packaging, the device, a pre-installed SIM card, a USB-C charger, and a quick-start manual. So we’re not talking about a vaporware situation here.

    Strong Customer Ratings (When Bought from the Official Source)

    On verified review platforms, Ryoko Pro consistently receives high ratings — often averaging 4.7 to 4.9 stars out of 5. Many users praise:

    • The ease of setup
    • Its lightweight design
    • The fact that it actually connects in areas where traditional service dips
    • And how it simplifies international travel or work on the go

    There are multiple reports from buyers who use it to stream video, manage remote work, or provide internet to several connected devices while traveling — without experiencing frequent signal loss or frustrating lag.

    Negative Reviews Are Usually Linked to Misunderstandings

    As with any tech product, there are some negative reviews floating around, but when you dig deeper, many of them boil down to:

    • Buying from third-party resellers, which may send outdated or counterfeit units
    • Expecting unlimited free data (Ryoko Pro gives you 500MB out of the box, but you do need to top up after that)
    • Or using it in complete signal dead zones where no device — no matter how advanced — would be able to connect

    These aren’t product defects so much as expectation mismatches.

    No Sketchy Subscriptions or Surprise Fees

    This is a common fear — especially for devices sold online. But Ryoko Pro keeps things relatively clean and upfront:

    • You’re not forced into a monthly plan
    • You can top up data only when needed
    • And you get clear, direct pricing on their official portal

    No hidden activation fees. No shady auto-renewals. No confusing mobile contracts.

    Backed by a 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee

    To further support its legitimacy, Ryoko Pro comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee when purchased from the official site. If you get the device, try it out, and it’s not what you expected — you have the option to return it.

    This helps take the edge off for people sitting on the fence, especially if you’re skeptical from past online buying experiences.

    So… Is Ryoko Pro Legit?

    From everything we’ve seen: yes — it’s a legitimate product that does what it claims to do within reasonable expectations.

    It’s not a magic box that gives you free internet forever. And it’s not a replacement for full-home fiber connections. But for its intended use — giving you portable, secure, and fast Wi-Fi access wherever you are — it’s doing the job.

    Just make sure you buy it from the official source, read the fine print on data usage, and manage your expectations (no, it won’t beam internet to you from the top of Everest).

    Next up, we’ll see how Ryoko Pro actually compares to regular portable Wi-Fi routers — because while it’s legit, it’s not the only option out there.

    Ryoko Pro vs. Regular Portable Wi-Fi Devices

    If you’ve been shopping around for a portable WiFi router, you’ve probably come across a bunch of similar-looking devices promising high-speed internet, multiple device support, and easy setup.

    So how does Ryoko Pro stack up against the average portable Wi-Fi device?

    Let’s break it down.

    Setup and Ease of Use

    Ryoko Pro:
    This is one of its strongest points. There’s no need to download an app, create an account, or follow a 12-step configuration guide. You simply press the power button, and within seconds, it starts broadcasting a Wi-Fi signal. The SIM card is already installed, so there’s zero fiddling with trays or settings. Even tech-averse users — think your parents or grandparents — could get this running without a call to customer support.

    Typical Portable Wi-Fi:
    Most other routers require a physical SIM card, manual APN setup, and sometimes even a computer-based configuration. You often need to register with a specific telecom provider, and some require monthly subscriptions before they even work. That’s fine if you’re tech-savvy, but not ideal if you just want something that works out of the box.

    ✔️ Edge: Ryoko Pro

    Global Coverage and Network Flexibility

    Ryoko Pro:
    Thanks to its virtual SIM technology, it can connect to over 75+ countries without requiring you to buy and switch SIM cards. It automatically scans for the best available network wherever you are and connects in seconds.

    Typical Portable Wi-Fi:
    You’re often locked into a single provider or need to swap SIMs manually when you switch regions. This means dealing with local data plans, unfamiliar providers, and inconsistent network quality across borders.

     ✔️ Edge: Ryoko Pro

    Security and Privacy

    Ryoko Pro:
    In addition to encrypted traffic, it comes with a built-in ad blocker, malware protection, and anti-phishing safeguards. For anyone working with sensitive data — or simply uncomfortable connecting to public Wi-Fi — that added layer of safety is a major plus.

    Typical Portable Wi-Fi:
    Most act as basic routers. They don’t offer any built-in security features, and you’re often on your own to install a VPN or other protection software. If you’re not already security-minded, this can be a weak point.

    ✔️ Edge: Ryoko Pro

    Battery Life and Portability

    Ryoko Pro:
    It runs for up to 8 hours on a single charge, depending on usage. That’s enough for a full day of work or travel without needing to recharge. It uses USB-C, which is a modern standard, and some bundles offer a magnetic dock for easy charging. It’s also compact and lightweight — no bigger than a deck of cards.

    Typical Portable Wi-Fi:
    Battery life ranges widely. Some cheap models only last 2–4 hours. Many still use outdated micro-USB ports, and bulkier models take up more bag space or need constant power from a wall outlet.

    ✔️ Edge: Ryoko Pro

    Performance and Signal Reliability

    Ryoko Pro:
    Based on customer feedback, Ryoko Pro is impressively consistent. It has been used successfully in rural cabins, lakeside getaways, and even forests. The ability to find the strongest nearby network, regardless of country, gives it an edge in low-signal or remote areas.

    Typical Portable Wi-Fi:
    Performance varies heavily by provider and hardware quality. Devices tied to one SIM or network often fail in remote areas where that network has weak coverage.

    ✔️Edge: Ryoko Pro

    Cost and Data Flexibility

    Ryoko Pro:
    No subscription is required. You get 500MB free out of the box, and after that, it’s pay-as-you-go. This gives you complete control over your spending — no surprise roaming fees or contracts.

    Typical Portable Wi-Fi:
    Many devices require a monthly subscription or force you into a plan before activation. Others might charge roaming fees that show up weeks after your trip. Some cheaper models have hidden costs, like forced plan renewals or poor-quality data plans.

    ✔️ Edge: Ryoko Pro

    User Experience

    From what we can tell across consumer feedback platforms, Ryoko Pro is designed with real users in mind. The plug-and-play simplicity, pre-installed SIM card, and reliable connection make it one of the few options that balances tech performance with actual everyday usability.

    Regular routers often feel like they were made for IT professionals — Ryoko Pro feels like it was made for you.

    Final Comparison Snapshot

    Feature Ryoko Pro Standard Wi-Fi Device
    Setup Time Under 2 minutes 10–30 minutes (often manual)
    SIM Required? No (vSIM tech) Yes (manual insertion)
    Coverage 75+ countries Limited, provider-specific
    Battery Life Up to 8 hours Varies widely (2–6 hrs)
    Max Devices 10 5–10
    Security Built-in ad + malware blocker Typically none
    Subscription Not required Often required
    Ease of Use Extremely simple Depends on brand/model

    Verdict?

    If you’re looking for a user-friendly, travel-ready, and secure portable hotspot, Ryoko Pro comes out ahead in almost every category that matters — especially for people who don’t want to deal with telecom headaches, complex setups, or fragile battery life.

    Up next, let’s talk about how to actually set up and use the Ryoko Pro — spoiler: it’s easier than brewing a cup of coffee.

    How to Use Ryoko Pro (Setup + Instructions)

    Let’s be honest — most portable Wi-Fi devices feel like they were made by engineers for engineers. They promise fast internet but first require you to decode a setup guide that feels like it was translated by a robot.

    Ryoko Pro? Thankfully, that’s not the case.

    One of the most consistent pieces of feedback from users — across reviews, forums, and consumer reports — is how ridiculously easy it is to set up. Even if you’ve never touched a portable hotspot before, you’ll be up and running in under five minutes.

    Here’s what setup looks like, step by step:

    Step 1: Unbox and Charge It Up

    Inside the box, you’ll find:

    • The Ryoko Pro device
    • A USB-C charging cable
    • A pre-installed SIM card
    • A quick start guide

    Before you get started, it’s a good idea to fully charge the device. Plug it into any USB-C charger (your laptop charger or phone charger should work fine), and wait until the battery indicator hits full. Charging is quick, and once powered up, it offers up to 8 hours of reliable use on a single charge.

    Step 2: Power It On

    There’s a single power button on the device. Press and hold it for a few seconds. You’ll see the device light up and begin its boot-up sequence.

    This is where Ryoko Pro does something cool behind the scenes — it uses its virtual SIM technology to detect your location and automatically connect to the best available 4G LTE network.

    No manual configuration. No SIM tray. No “Insert SIM” errors. Just automatic network selection, every time.

    Step 3: Connect Your Devices

    Once the device is connected to a local mobile network, it begins broadcasting a private Wi-Fi signal — just like your home router.

    To connect:

    • Open Wi-Fi settings on your phone, tablet, laptop, or whatever device you’re using.
    • Look for the Ryoko network name (usually something like “RyokoPro_XXXX”).
    • Select it, and enter the password provided on the device screen or printed inside the box.
    • Boom — you’re online.

    Alternatively, if your phone supports it, you can simply scan the QR code shown on Ryoko Pro’s display. It will auto-connect your device to the Wi-Fi network without needing to type anything.

    Step 4: Use It Like You Would Any Wi-Fi Network

    Once connected, your device behaves exactly like it would on any regular network. That means you can:

    • Stream content
    • Make video calls
    • Send emails
    • Use cloud apps
    • Upload files
    • Scroll social media
    • Even connect multiple devices — up to 10 at the same time

    Whether you’re working, chilling, or doing a bit of both, you’ve now got a secure internet connection to power it all.

    Step 5: Top Up Data as Needed

    Ryoko Pro comes with 500MB of free data, preloaded into the device. It’s a nice starter amount — enough to test it out or get through a day of light usage.

    When you’re ready to top up, it’s as easy as:

    1. Visiting the official recharge portal (listed in the manual)
    2. Entering your device’s serial number or login details
    3. Purchasing data based on your usage — no contracts or forced subscriptions

    You can top up as needed, and rates are generally lower than international roaming or daily hotspot fees.

    Recharging the Battery

    When you’re running low on power, just plug it in using the included USB-C cable. If you opted for a bundle with the magnetic charging dock, even better — just set the device on the dock and let it charge, no cables needed.

    The battery lasts up to 8 hours per full charge, which is more than enough for a day of travel, remote work, or exploring.

    And That’s It — No Tech Skills Required

    No joke — that’s really all there is to it.

    There’s no app to install, no drivers to update, and no confusing interface to figure out. If you can power it on and type in a Wi-Fi password, you’re good to go.

    It’s a breath of fresh air in a product category that often assumes users are part-time network engineers.

    Privacy & Security: How Safe is Ryoko Pro Wi-Fi?

    If you’ve ever connected to hotel Wi-Fi and had that uneasy feeling about logging into your bank account — you’re not alone. These days, online privacy is just as important as having a stable internet connection. In fact, for a lot of people, it’s even more important.

    That’s why Ryoko Pro doesn’t just promise portability and performance — it also puts some real thought into how to protect your connection while you’re on the move.

    Let’s break down what makes it a more secure option than the average café or airport hotspot.

    Private Wi-Fi, Not Public Risk

    Most public Wi-Fi networks are open and shared, meaning anyone nearby can connect. That might sound convenient, but it’s also a breeding ground for problems:

    • Packet sniffing
    • Man-in-the-middle attacks
    • Fake “Free Wi-Fi” networks run by scammers
    • Data harvesting from unsecured logins

    When you connect to Ryoko Pro, you’re not joining a shared public network. You’re connecting to a private signal that’s being generated just for your devices. That immediately cuts out a huge portion of the risk that comes with public Wi-Fi.

    Encrypted Connection

    Ryoko Pro uses encrypted 4G LTE as its base layer — which is a significant upgrade from the wide-open traffic of your average café network.

    What does that mean in real life?

    • Your data (emails, passwords, messages, transactions) is scrambled in a way that makes it unreadable to outside observers.
    • Even if someone wanted to eavesdrop, they’d need to break through encryption protocols designed to resist that kind of attack.

    You might not notice it working, but the secure internet connection running in the background is one of the biggest benefits Ryoko Pro offers — especially if you’re working remotely or accessing sensitive accounts.

    Built-In Ad Blocker and Phishing Protection

    This is something you don’t see in a lot of portable hotspots: Ryoko Pro includes a built-in ad and tracker blocker, which does two things at once:

    1. It improves performance by cutting down on data-draining ads and pop-ups.
    2. It protects your browsing experience by reducing the number of malicious scripts and trackers trying to collect your information.

    It also has phishing protection — a feature that helps block fake websites designed to look like legitimate ones (think “paypaI.com” instead of “paypal.com”).

    These features won’t replace your antivirus or eliminate all risk, but they do add a strong first line of defense, especially if you’re traveling and can’t always control the networks you’re on.

    Safe for Families and Non-Tech Users

    Because the device is set up to automatically create a private, protected network, even less tech-savvy users benefit from improved security without having to know anything about VPNs, firewalls, or browser extensions.

    Parents using Ryoko Pro on road trips, or students connecting through it in libraries or airports, are still shielded from a lot of the nonsense that comes with public Wi-Fi — without even realizing it.

    A Better Option Than VPN-Only Setups

    A lot of travelers try to patch security holes using VPNs alone. VPNs are great — but they only protect traffic after you’re already connected to a network, and they don’t guard against:

    • Fake login portals
    • Malware-infected routers
    • Wi-Fi spoofing in public areas

    With Ryoko Pro, you’re cutting those risks out before they start — by avoiding public networks entirely and instead using a clean, dedicated hotspot that you own and control.

    Final Thought on Security (Ryoko Pro Reviews)

    Ryoko Pro isn’t just a way to get online — it’s a way to stay protected while you do it.

    It’s not military-grade security, and it’s not a replacement for common sense online (don’t click shady links, obviously), but it’s way ahead of the alternatives most people rely on when they travel:

    • Open hotel Wi-Fi
    • Random café networks
    • Mobile hotspots with no encryption
    • Tethering through overworked smartphones

    In today’s internet landscape, where tracking, hacking, and data leaks are way too common, having your own encrypted, ad-blocked, phishing-resistant Wi-Fi router in your pocket just makes sense.

    What Ryoko Pro Won’t Do (Setting Realistic Expectations)

    Let’s be real: no product is perfect, and Ryoko Pro isn’t some miracle device that beams gigabit internet into a mountaintop temple while you sip coffee and stream Netflix in 4K.

    It’s a portable WiFi router, not a magical satellite dish.

    So in the spirit of transparency, let’s talk about what Ryoko Pro won’t do — not because it’s a bad product, but because every tool has its limits, and the last thing you want is to buy something with the wrong expectations.

    It Won’t Work Where There’s Zero Mobile Signal

    This should go without saying, but if you’re in a place where no 4G LTE signal exists, Ryoko Pro can’t create internet out of thin air. It needs access to a mobile network — just like your phone does — to generate a Wi-Fi signal.

    If you’re trekking through dense mountains, remote islands, or deep rural zones without any cell towers nearby, don’t expect Ryoko Pro to perform miracles.

    It does well in low-signal areas, but not in no-signal zones.

    It’s Not a Replacement for Home Broadband

    Ryoko Pro is designed for portability, not power. It’s perfect for travel, remote work, road trips, or backup internet during outages. But it’s not built to replace your high-speed home fiber plan — and it’s not ideal for households streaming across five 4K TVs and downloading giant files all day.

    If you’re expecting gigabit speeds and unlimited data like your home ISP, this isn’t the right tool for that.

    It Doesn’t Come With Unlimited Free Data

    This one trips some people up: yes, Ryoko Pro comes with 500MB of data out of the box, which is enough to test the waters — check your email, send a few files, browse lightly.

    But after that, you’ll need to top up your data manually, and while the rates are reasonable, they’re not unlimited or “free forever.”

    If you’re a heavy data user (think gaming, uploading big video files daily, or constant video conferencing), you’ll go through that data quickly. Just something to factor into your budgeting.

    It Doesn’t Automatically Include a VPN

    Ryoko Pro offers solid baseline privacy protections — encrypted traffic, ad blocking, and anti-phishing tools. But it’s not a full cybersecurity suite, and it doesn’t include a VPN service out of the box.

    If you need extra layers of privacy, especially while dealing with sensitive data, you’ll want to pair it with a reliable VPN app on your devices. Think of Ryoko Pro as your secure connection gateway — it gives you a clean network to build on.

    It Won’t Fix Speed Issues in Congested Networks

    If you’re in a busy location where all networks are jammed — like a packed stadium or major event center — even Ryoko Pro will be limited by what the local 4G infrastructure can offer. It’ll still connect and likely be more stable than public Wi-Fi, but it’s not immune to network congestion.

    It’s good tech — not magic.

    It Won’t Be Worth It If You Rarely Leave Home

    This one’s simple: if you barely travel, don’t work remotely, and only connect to Wi-Fi at home or in the office, Ryoko Pro might be overkill.

    It’s built for mobility, not static day-to-day internet. If your lifestyle doesn’t require reliable internet on the go, you probably won’t get the full value out of it.

    So, Who Is Ryoko Pro Right For? (Ryoko Pro Reviews)

    If you need a secure internet connection while you’re traveling, working remotely, or navigating places where public Wi-Fi just isn’t cutting it, Ryoko Pro makes a lot of sense.

    But if you’re expecting it to replace a full-time ISP, give you unlimited data for free, or work in areas with no cell coverage at all — you’ll end up disappointed.

    Understanding these limits helps you see Ryoko Pro for what it actually is:
    ✅ A reliable, portable solution for when you’re away from home — not a one-size-fits-all answer to all internet problems.

    Pros and Cons of Ryoko Pro

    By this point, you’ve probably got a good sense of what Ryoko Pro offers. But sometimes it helps to lay things out clearly — the good, the not-so-good, and everything in between — especially if you’re still on the fence.

    Here’s a breakdown of the biggest advantages and the realistic drawbacks to help you decide if this device fits your lifestyle.

    Pros of Ryoko Pro

    Plug-and-Play Simplicity

    You don’t need to be a tech wizard. Setup takes under 2 minutes. Power it on, connect your devices, and go — no apps, no confusing settings, no headaches.

    Global Connectivity in 75+ Countries

    Thanks to its virtual SIM technology, Ryoko Pro works seamlessly across borders without the need for physical SIM cards or local providers.

    Secure Internet Connection

    You’re not at the mercy of public Wi-Fi. Ryoko Pro offers encrypted browsing, ad blocking, and phishing protection — ideal for anyone handling sensitive data or simply tired of risky hotel networks.

    Long-Lasting Battery

    With up to 8 hours on a single charge, it easily supports a full day of travel or remote work. And it charges via USB-C, so it’s compatible with most modern charging gear.

    Works in Low-Signal Areas

    Ryoko Pro has a good track record for finding usable 4G LTE connections even in rural areas, vacation homes, or places where your phone’s tethering tends to drop off.

    Connects Up to 10 Devices Simultaneously

    Perfect for solo travelers with lots of gear or families and teams who need to stay online together without juggling connections.

    No Subscriptions Required

    You only pay for data when you need it. No contracts, no hidden fees, and no forced monthly billing. Just pure pay-as-you-go control.

    Ultra-Portable

    It’s small, discreet, and weighs practically nothing. Fits easily into a pocket, purse, or laptop bag.

    Cons of Ryoko Pro

    Doesn’t Work in Signal Blackout Zones

    If you’re completely off-grid with no mobile coverage, the device won’t be able to connect — just like any 4G-based system.

    Not a Replacement for Home Broadband

    While great for travel and backup use, it’s not built for heavy-duty streaming or gaming across multiple devices in a home setting.

    Limited Starter Data

    The 500MB of included data is a nice bonus — but not much more than a trial. You’ll need to top up fairly soon if you plan to use it regularly.

    Doesn’t Include a Built-In VPN

    While it offers strong security basics, it doesn’t come with a VPN service, which some users may want for even greater online privacy.

    Not Available in Retail Stores

    To avoid counterfeit models and ensure warranty support, you’ll need to buy directly from the official website, which might be a hurdle for people used to in-store shopping.

    Final Takeaway

    Ryoko Pro gets the essentials right: it’s reliable, secure, and easy to use, especially for people who live a mobile lifestyle or want a dependable backup internet option.

    Its few limitations are more about understanding its intended purpose — it’s a travel-friendly tool, not a full-blown replacement for your home fiber line.

    If you fit the profile of someone who’s often on the move, works from different locations, or just values having a personal hotspot you can trust, Ryoko Pro is well worth considering.

    Ryoko Pro Price: Is It Worth the Investment?

    Let’s talk numbers. At the time of writing, Ryoko Pro is being offered with tiered pricing based on quantity:

    • 1 Device: $89
    • 2 Devices: $138
    • 3 Devices: $177
    • 4 Devices: $220

    All purchases include:

    • A pre-installed SIM card with 500MB free data
    • USB-C charging cable
    • Setup guide
    • 30-day money-back guarantee

    Compared to traditional roaming charges or travel SIM bundles, it’s actually a solid deal — especially since there are no subscriptions required. You top up data when you need it. No sneaky fees, no contracts. For most people, the upfront cost pays for itself after just one or two trips.

    And let’s be honest: for something that could spare you from bad hotel Wi-Fi or save the day during a business call in a remote location… it’s not a bad trade.

    Where to Buy Ryoko Pro

    This one’s simple: only buy from the official website.

    It’s the only way to:

    • Ensure you’re getting a genuine product
    • Access the latest firmware version
    • Claim the official warranty and support
    • Take advantage of exclusive bundle discounts

    You won’t find Ryoko Pro on Amazon or in major retail chains — and knockoffs do exist. If you’re going to invest, do it the right way.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Q: Is Ryoko Pro just for travelers?
    Not at all. It’s perfect for remote workers, students, campers, and even as a backup internet option at home.

    Q: Can I use it without a SIM card?
    It comes preloaded with a virtual SIM. No need to insert anything — just power it on and connect.

    Q: How do I top up data?
    You can purchase data plans directly online via the Ryoko dashboard — no third-party hassles.

    Q: Is the data unlimited?
    No. It’s pay-as-you-go. But that also means no surprise overage fees or contract lock-ins.

    Q: Can I return it if I’m not happy?
    Yes, Ryoko Pro offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked.

    Final Thoughts

    Ryoko Pro isn’t trying to be everything. It’s not your home Wi-Fi replacement or a power-user’s dream device. But that’s the point.

    It’s for people who want a no-fuss, portable, secure way to stay online — anywhere, anytime. Whether you’re traveling across continents, working from a cabin, or simply tired of dodgy public Wi-Fi, Ryoko Pro brings reliability back into your internet life.

    If peace of mind, portability, and performance matter to you… then this little device just might earn a permanent spot in your backpack.

    NEW DELHI, July 10 (Xinhua) — Strong tremors were felt in many parts of northern India on Thursday morning, sending people running out of their homes in panic. The tremors lasted for about 10 seconds.

    An earthquake measuring 4.4 on the Richter scale struck northern India at around 09:04 a.m. local time, according to India’s National Seismological Centre.

    The epicentre of the earthquake was reported to be in the town of Jhajjar in the northern Haryana state.

    There are currently no reports of damage or casualties. –0–

  • PSG crush Real Madrid 4-0 to reach FIFA Club World Cup final against Chelsea

    Source: Government of India (4)

    Paris St Germain’s Spanish midfielder Fabian Ruiz scored twice in a devastating first-half display as the French champions demolished Real Madrid 4-0 on Wednesday to book their place in the Club World Cup final against Chelsea.

    Two defensive errors handed PSG their opening goals within nine minutes at MetLife Stadium.

    Raul Asencio’s poor control in the sixth minute gifted Ousmane Dembele possession and his first effort was saved by Thibaut Courtois before the rebound was picked up by Ruiz who scored into an empty net.

    Antonio Ruediger’s miskick as he attempted to pass three minutes later allowed Dembele to burst unmarked into the box before firing a tidy finish past Courtois.

    Ruiz struck again in the 24th minute after Achraf Hakimi made a great run down the right and the Spaniard held off defender Raul Asencio with a feint before finishing perfectly from close range.

    Substitute Goncalo Ramos completed the rout for European champions PSG three minutes from time, punishing a feeble Real Madrid side who failed to pose any attacking threat.

    “It was an incredible match, brilliant win,” player of the match Ruiz told DAZN.

    “Even under scorching heat, such difficult conditions to play in midday, the team responded really well and it’s an achievement to be proud of.

    “We made a perfect game and beat a top-level rival like Real Madrid in a great way. It’s job well done.”

    Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso’s tactical gamble backfired spectacularly.

    Missing suspended defender Dean Huijsen and injured Trent Alexander-Arnold, Alonso abandoned the five-man defence that had served them well in previous rounds, reverting to a four-man backline that proved woefully inadequate against PSG’s attacking prowess.

    PSG, who thrashed Inter Milan 5-0 in the Champions League final last month, smelled blood from the opening whistle and never relented against opponents who looked clueless on how to approach Gianluigi Donnarumma’s goal even with French forward Kylian Mbappe back in the starting side after illness.

    Dembele almost scored in the fourth minute with a curling strike from inside the box that Courtois stopped with a brilliant one-handed save before the keeper produced another stunning reflex block from a close-range strike by Ruiz.

    But there was nothing he could do to deny PSG from opening a three-goal lead and the French team had more chances to extend their advantage further before the break.

    Real made no changes at halftime and PSG stayed in control, with Desire Doue having a goal ruled out for an offside.

    The Spanish side never came close to causing Donnarumma a serious problem and Ramos added a fourth goal for PSG.

    “At the beginning, the setback was strong enough with a 2-0 down. We knew that the task was really tough,” Real coach Alonso told DAZN.

    “At the moment, the feeling is not the best, but we’ll have to try to learn from today. They are a team that has been built in two years and we are just starting here, so it will take time.

    “Right now what we need is a proper break. This is not the beginning of next year, this is just the end of this season. After just three weeks here, I think that we can take positives from this period, not from today. We take lessons from today.”

  • MIL-OSI China: China’s auto market posts strong growth in H1

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

    China’s auto production and sales logged double-digit increases in the first half of the year (H1), a sign of vibrant domestic consumption in the world’s second-largest economy, data from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM) showed on Thursday.

    The country’s auto output totaled 15.62 million units during the period, up 12.5 percent from a year ago, while auto sales rose 11.4 percent to 15.65 million units.

    The CAAM saw increased vitality in the auto market, driven by various factors, including the country’s stable economic growth, the consumer goods trade-in program, and the rapid growth of the NEV market.

    New energy vehicle (NEV) production surged 41.4 percent year on year to nearly 6.97 million units in the first six months, with sales up by 40.3 percent year on year to about 6.94 million units.

    NEVs accounted for 44.3 percent of total new vehicle sales in China during the January-June period, according to the CAAM.

    To boost consumption, China expanded the scope of passenger vehicles covered under its trade-in program in January, aiming to increase domestic demand and support the Chinese economy through equipment upgrades and trade-ins of consumer goods.

    Thursday’s data also showed that the country’s auto exports increased 10.4 percent year-on-year to 3.08 million units in the six months. Notably, NEV exports soared 75.2 percent to 1.06 million units.

    TIANJIN, July 10 (Xinhua) — More than 20 representatives from cities in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) countries discussed future urban development topics such as digitalization of urban governance, people-to-people exchanges and security as the basis for development during the “Dialogue of World Mayors – SCO Summit City” held in north China’s Tianjin from July 6 to 9.

    The opening ceremony of the event took place in Tianjin on July 8. It included two thematic dialogues: a dialogue of mayors of SCO cities and a dialogue of mayors of cities that hosted the organization’s summits, where China’s experience and practices in urban governance implemented through digital technologies attracted special attention of the participants.

    As an emerging industry, low-altitude economics also attracted great interest from participants in the dialogue. According to a representative of the Moscow Center for International Cooperation, “air taxis” and the use of unmanned aerial vehicles to patrol traffic in China left a deep impression on her.

    The Chinese experience serves as an instructive example for Moscow in improving the system of control over transport infrastructure and population movement, believes a representative of the Moscow department.

    According to the participants of the event, trust between the SCO countries not only comes from open and transparent interaction, but is also rooted in cultural closeness. Humanitarian exchanges and sustainable cultural development have become an important force in consolidating consensus and deepening cooperation.

    The topic “How to ensure security as the basis for development” became one of the important topics of the discussions and attracted great attention from the participants. As an important place for the implementation of trade and economic cooperation of the SCO countries and regional development, the city should take a more qualitative approach to ensuring security, which has long been perceived as a key element of sustainable development.

    The participants in the dialogue called for the creation of a broader and more effective platform in the SCO countries for regular dialogues between the heads of mayors of the SCO countries on security issues.

    The “Dialogue of World Mayors – SCO Summit City” was attended by mayors, diplomats accredited in China and experts from think tanks from SCO countries. They discussed expanding consensus, deepening practical cooperation in the areas of connectivity, trade and economic investment, green development and cultural exchanges. -0-

  • MIL-Evening Report: Does Donald Trump deserve the Nobel Peace Prize? We asked 5 experts

    Source: The Conversation (Au and NZ) – By Emma Shortis, Adjunct Senior Fellow, School of Global, Urban and Social Studies, RMIT University

    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has formally nominated United States President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. He says the president is “forging peace as we speak, in one country, in one region after the other”.

    Trump, who has craved the award for years, sees himself as a global peacemaker in a raft of conflicts from Israel and Iran, to Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

    With the conflict in Gaza still raging, we ask five experts – could Trump be rewarded with the world’s most prestigious peace prize?

    Emma Shortis

    Adjunct Senior Fellow, School of Global, Urban and Social Studies, RMIT University

    Nominating Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize is like entering a hyena in a dog show.

    Of course Trump does not deserve it. That we’re being forced to take this question seriously is yet another indication – as if we needed one – of his extraordinary ability to set and reset the terms of our politics.

    There is no peace in Gaza. Even if Trump announced another ceasefire tomorrow, it would not last. And it would not build genuine peace and security.

    Trump has neither the interest nor the attention span required to build long term peace. His administration is not willing to bear any of the costs or investments that come with genuine, lasting diplomacy. And he is not anti-war.

    There is no peace in Iran. Trump’s bombing of Iran simply exacerbates his decision in 2018 to end nuclear negotiations with Tehran. It pushes the world closer to, not further from, nuclear catastrophe.

    Under the Trump administration, there will be no peace in the Middle East. Both the US and Israeli governments’ approach to “security” puts the region on a perpetual war footing. This approach assumes it is possible to bomb your way to peace – a “peace” which both Trump and Netanyahu understand as total dominance and violent oppression.

    The Trump administration is deliberately undermining the institutions and principles of international and domestic law.

    He has deployed the military against American citizens. He is threatening the United States’ traditional allies with trade wars and annexation. His administration’s dismantling of USAID will result, according to one study, in the deaths of 14 million people, including 4.5 million children, by 2030.

    Indulging Trump’s embarrassing desire for trophies might appease him for a short time. It would also strip the Nobel Peace Prize of any and all credibility, while endorsing Trump’s trashing of the international rule of law.

    What kind of peace is that?

    Ali Mamouri

    Research Fellow, Middle East Studies, Deakin University

    The nomination of Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize by a man who is facing charges of war crimes is an unprecedented and deeply dark irony that cannot be overlooked.

    Trump’s role in brokering the Abraham Accords was hailed as a diplomatic breakthrough. It led to the normalisation of relations between Israel and several Arab countries, including the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Morocco.

    But this achievement came at a significant cost. The accords deliberately sidelined the Palestinian issue, long recognised as the core of regional instability, and disregarded decades of international consensus on a two-state solution.

    Trump’s administration openly supported Israeli policies widely considered to violate international law, including the expansion of illegal settlements and the proposed annexation of Palestinian territory.

    His silence in the face of a growing humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza was equally telling. Perhaps most disturbing was the tacit or explicit endorsement of proposals to forcibly relocate Palestinians to neighbouring Arab countries, a position that evokes ethnic cleansing and fundamentally undermines principles of justice, dignity and international law.

    In addition, there is Trump’s unconditional support for Israel’s military campaigns across the region, including his authorisation of attacks on Iranian civilian, military and nuclear infrastructure. The strikes lacked any clear legal basis, contributed further to regional instability and, according to Tehran, killed more than a thousand civilians.

    His broader disregard for international norms shattered decades of post-second world war diplomatic order and increased the risk of sustained and expanded conflict.

    Against this backdrop, any serious consideration of Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize seems fundamentally at odds with its stated mission: to honour efforts that reduce conflict, uphold human rights and promote lasting peace.

    Whatever short-term diplomatic gains emerged from Trump’s tenure are eclipsed by the legal, ethical and humanitarian consequences of his actions.

    Ian Parmeter

    Research Scholar, Middle East Studies, Australian National University

    Netanyahu’s nomination of Donald Trump for one of the world’s most coveted awards was clearly aimed at flattering the president.

    Trump is clearly angling for the laurel, which his first term predecessor, Barack Obama, won in his first year in office.

    Obama was awarded the prize in 2009 for promotion of nuclear non-proliferation and fostering a “new climate” in international relations, particularly in reaching out to the Muslim world.

    Given neither of these ambitions have since borne fruit, what claims might Trump reasonably make at this stage of his second term?

    Trump has claimed credit for resolving two conflicts this year: the brief India–Pakistan clash that erupted after Pakistani militants killed 25 Indian tourists in Kashmir in May; and the long-running dispute between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

    Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi disputes Trump brokered peace. He says the issue was resolved by negotiations between the two countries’ militaries.

    With regards to the Rwanda–DRC conflict, the countries signed a peace agreement in the Oval Office in June. But critics argue Qatar played a significant role
    which the Trump administration has airbrushed out.

    Trump can legitimately argue his pressure on Israel and Iran forced a ceasefire in their 12-day war in June.

    But his big test is the Gaza war. For Trump to add this to his Nobel claim, he will need more than a ceasefire.

    The Biden administration brokered two ceasefires that enabled the release of significant numbers of hostages, but did not end the conflict.

    Trump would have to use his undoubted influence with Netanyahu to achieve more than a temporary pause. He would have to end the war definitively and effect the release of all Israeli hostages.

    Beyond that, if Trump could persuade Netanyahu
    to take serious steps towards negotiating a two-state solution, that would be a genuine Nobel-worthy achievement.

    Trump isn’t there yet.

    Jasmine-Kim Westendorf

    Associate Professor of Peace and Conflict and Co-Director of the Initiative for Peacebuilding, The University of Melbourne

    The Nobel Peace Prize recognises outstanding contributions to peace globally.

    Although controversial or politicised awards are not new, awardees are generally individuals or groups who’ve made
    significant contributions to a range of peace initiatives.

    They include reducing armed conflict, enhancing international cooperation, and human rights efforts that contribute to peace.

    Inspiring examples include anti-nuclear proliferation organisations and phenomenal women peacemakers. And Nadia Murad and Denis Mukwege, who won in 2011 for their work trying to end the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war.

    Trump has declared his “proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker and unifier”. But he is neither.

    The president has fuelled escalating insecurity, violent conflict and human rights violations globally, and actively undermined international cooperation for peace. This includes the decision to sanction judges of the International Criminal Court.

    There has been a concerning trend towards using the Nobel Peace Prize to encourage certain political directions, rather than reward achievements.

    Barack Obama’s 2008 Prize helped motivate his moves toward diplomacy and cooperation after the presidency of George W. Bush.

    Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s 2018 award was for efforts to resolve the 20-year war with Eritrea. The peace prize encouraged Ahmed to fulfill his promise of democratic elections in 2020. Embarrassingly, within a year Ahmed launched a civil war that killed over 600,000 people and displaced 3 million more.

    This week’s nomination follows efforts by global leaders to flatter Trump in order – they hope – to secure his goodwill.

    These motivations explain why Netanyahu has put forward Trump’s name to the Nobel Committee. It comes at the very moment securing Trump’s ongoing support during ceasefire negotiations is critical for Netanyahu’s political survival.

    Trump has also been nominated by the government of Pakistan and by several Republican figures. Flattery is the currency Trump trades in. These nominations pander to a president who has bemoaned

    They will never give me a Nobel Peace Prize […] It’s too bad. I deserve it, but they will never give it to me.

    Prizes to genuine peacemakers amplify their work and impact.

    1984 winner Desmond Tutu said: “One day no one was listening. The next, I was an oracle.” A Nobel can be a powerful force for peace.

    Trump is no peacemaker, he doesn’t deserve one.

    Shahram Akbarzadeh

    Director, Middle East Studies Forum (MESF), Deakin University

    Benjamin Netanyahu would have us believe Donald Trump is a peacemaker.

    Nothing could be further from the truth. His record is stained with blood and misery. The fact Trump believes himself to be worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize only attests to his illusions of grandeur in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

    The war in Gaza has gone into its 20th month because Trump did not use the levers at his control to bring the senseless war to a close.

    Some estimates put the true Gaza death toll at 100,000 people, and counting. They have been killed by American-made bombs Israel is dropping across the densely populated strip; from starvation because Israel has enforced a blockade of the Gaza Strip and prevented UN food delivery with the blessings of America; and from gunshots at food distribution centres, set up with US private security.

    All under Trump’s watch.

    Trump could do something about this. Israel is the largest recipient of US aid, most of it military support.

    This has multiplied since Israel commenced its attack on Gaza in response to Hamas terrorism on October 7 2023. Trump has approved the transfer of US military hardware to Israel, knowing full well it was being used against a trapped and helpless population.

    This is not the act of a peacemaker.

    Now the Israeli government is planning to “facilitate” population transfer of Gazans to other countries – a euphemism for ethnic cleansing.

    This is the textbook definition of genocide: deliberate and systematic killing or persecution of people. Trump legitimised this travesty of decency and international law by promising a Gaza Riviera.

    The outlandish extent of Trump’s ideas would be laughable if their consequences were not so devastating.

    When Israel attacked Iran in the middle of nuclear talks, Trump had a momentary pause, before jumping to Netanyahu’s aid and bombing Iran. He then claimed his action paved the way for peace.

    Trump’s idea of peace is the peace of the graveyard.

  • MIL-OSI Security: Gang jailed for 65 years for large drug dealing operation

    Source: United Kingdom London Metropolitan Police

    An organised crime group who supplied cocaine across the UK have been jailed for more than 65 years following an extensive investigation from the Metropolitan Police and the National Crime Agency

    A joint Met and National Crime Agency (NCA) investigation has led to an organised crime group being jailed for their role in the supply of cocaine across the capital and the United Kingdom. Their efforts signify officers’ efforts to crack down on drug supply and associated anti-social behaviour and violence, which causes misery to Londoners and those beyond.

    The investigation unveiled that Redon Bushi, 32, (27.04.1993), of Cherry Crescent, Brentford, was operating in the leading role of this enterprise over a number of years, with multiple importers and couriers working with him.

    He pleaded guilty at Kingston-upon-Thames Crown Court on Monday, 10 July 2024 to –

    • two counts of conspiracy to supply Class A drugs,
    • conspiracy to transfer criminal property,
    • possessing criminal property.

    He was sentenced to a total of 24 years’ and 10 months imprisonment on Wednesday, 9 July at Kingston-upon-Thames Crown Court.

    Encrypted messaging services EncroChat and Signal revealed Bushi had conspired to supply a minimum of 832kg of cocaine, with a street value of up to £81,640,000, across London and the entirety of the UK. Once the Encrochat messages had been discovered, a targeted operation followed and Met detectives started work to dismantle the illegal drug-dealing operation.

    The investigation

    Met detectives discovered Bushi was using Encrochat under the username of ‘Sealvermouth’ after the platform was cracked by international law enforcement, supported by the NCA.

    Their investigation showed that Bushi took precautions to attempt to protect his wider criminal network. His couriers would only be provided post codes, times, and a loose description of the individual they would be providing to.

    However, his efforts were combatted by the tenacity of Met officers, who were able to uncover the group’s lines of communication. They thoroughly reviewed each and every device and chat pertaining to the group. They also trawled through hours’ worth of CCTV and were able to piece together the inner mechanics of the criminal operation.

    Using this material, officers stopped one of the vehicles belonging to Bushi’s couriers, Ahmad Jabarkhill in June 2020 and found nearly £700,000 on him.

    The Met and NCA officers also used covert tactics and intelligence to identify three more of Bushi’s couriers – Arline Sida, Luke Ferguson and Kelvin Hoxha, gathering evidence to show the scale of the enterprise.

    In addition to the chats, which were found between the group, fake identity cards were also found, as well as a van with a sophisticated concealment. There was also a camera set up at the location where drugs were being stored so it could be remotely monitored.

    Acting on this information, Sida and Hoxha were both arrested in Brentford in August 2023. Searches were carried out at the address and they were found in possession of six kilograms of cocaine.

    Luke Ferguson, another member of the criminal enterprise, was then arrested at a ‘safe house’ in Brentford and found in possession of 72kg of cocaine, worth an estimated street value of £6.24 million.

    Police and the NCA then launched a manhunt for Bushi after his team were arrested. He stayed in a series of hotels to evade officers, bought a new phone, clothing, and had more than £3,000 in cash. Whilst the manhunt was ongoing, Bushi directed others to check cameras at various addresses to identify any police attendance or surveillance.

    He was arrested in Reading in the following days.

    Detective Constable David Leitner, who led the investigation on behalf of the Met, said:

    “This case demonstrates our relentlessness in pursuing organised crime, while utilising the unprecedented opportunity that Encrochat represent to its fullest effect.

    “Bushi clearly believed that these messaging platforms protected him from law enforcement, but they only served to provide us the very evidence to convict him and his associates.

    “This shows the Met’s commitment to tackling offenders who are instrumental in supplying drugs to the streets of London.”

    The wider criminal enterprise

    Ahmad Jabarkhill, 32, (01.01.1993) pleaded guilty to the possession of criminal property at Isleworth Crown Court on Wednesday, 22 July 2020 and was sentenced on the same date to two years and three months’ imprisonment.

    Arline Sida, 23 (16.02.2002), of London Road West, Amersham, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to supply Class A drugs on Wednesday, 17 January 2024 at Kingston-upon-Thames Crown Court and was sentenced to 12 years’ 9 months imprisonment on Wednesday, 9 July at Kingston-upon-Thames Crown Court.

    Kelvin Hoxha, 23, (15.04.2002), of Field Lane, Brentford pleaded guilty to conspiracy to supply Class A drugs and driving while disqualified on Saturday, 26 October 2024 at Kingston-upon-Thames Crown Court and was sentenced to 11 years’ 8 Months imprisonment on Wednesday, 9 July at Kingston-upon-Thames Crown Court.

    Luke Ferguson, 32 (14.04.1993), of Becklow Road, Shepherd’s Bush, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to supply Class A drugs on Thursday, 21 November 2024 at Kingston-upon-Thames Crown Court and was sentenced to 14 years’ 5 months imprisonment on Wednesday, 9 July at Kingston-upon-Thames Crown Court.

    The annual Amarnath Yatra continues with strong participation, as over 1.28 lakh devotees have undertaken the pilgrimage over the past seven days. On Thursday, another batch of 7,307 pilgrims departed from Jammu for the Kashmir Valley to join the Yatra.

    Officials confirmed that the batch left from the Bhagwati Nagar Yatri Niwas in two escorted convoys. The first convoy, comprising 137 vehicles and carrying 3,081 pilgrims, departed at 3:15 a.m. for the Baltal base camp. The second convoy, consisting of 147 vehicles with 4,226 pilgrims on board, left at 3:58 a.m. for the Nunwan base camp in Pahalgam.

    According to the Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board (SASB), which oversees the management of the Yatra, many pilgrims are also arriving directly at the Baltal and Nunwan base camps for on-the-spot registration, in addition to those coming via Jammu.

    The Meteorological Department has forecast rain across Jammu and Kashmir over the next 12 hours, with isolated intense showers and thunderstorms expected, particularly in the Jammu region.

    This year’s Yatra is being held under tight security, following the April 22 terror attack in the Baisaran meadow of Pahalgam. In response, security has been significantly enhanced. An additional 180 companies of Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) have been deployed to support the Army, BSF, CRPF, SSB, and local police. The entire pilgrimage route, including transit camps and roads from Jammu to the cave shrine, is under strict surveillance.

    Local residents have once again shown their support and hospitality. On July 6, people from Srinagar travelled 30 km to Nuner village along the Baltal-Srinagar road to offer cold drinks and clean water to returning pilgrims. The gesture was warmly received by the Yatris.

    The Yatra began on July 3 and is scheduled to conclude on August 9, coinciding with the festivals of Shravan Purnima and Raksha Bandhan. The holy cave shrine, located at an altitude of 3,888 metres in the Kashmir Himalayas, can be accessed through two main routes.

    The traditional route from Pahalgam spans 46 kilometres and takes about four days to complete on foot, passing through Chandanwari, Sheshnag, and Panchtarni. The shorter Baltal route covers 14 kilometres and allows pilgrims to return the same day after darshan. Due to security concerns, helicopter services are not being offered to pilgrims this year.

    Inside the sacred cave, an ice stalagmite naturally forms and is believed by devotees to represent Lord Shiva.

    Source: Government of India (4)

    Strong tremors from an earthquake were felt across Delhi-NCR on Thursday, causing panic among residents in the National Capital, Noida, Gurugram, Faridabad, and other nearby areas.

    According to the National Centre for Seismology, the earthquake was measured to be of 4.4 magnitude on the Richter scale. The epicentre of the earthquake was in Jhajjar, Haryana at a depth of 10 kilometres.

    The tremors were felt around 9.04 a.m. The strong tremors sparked panic as people rushed outside their offices and homes.

    No casualties or damage have been reported so far, but authorities are closely monitoring the situation.

    Following the quake, the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) issued an advisory, urging people to follow the ‘dos and don’ts’ to ensure their and their family’s safety before, during and after an earthquake.

    While details of the quake and its effect are awaited, netizens in the Delhi-NCR claimed it to be “the longest earthquake” they have felt in a “very long time.”

    Speaking to IANS, a Noida resident said, “It was a very strong earthquake, and we were all terrified. But thankfully, it didn’t last long.”

    “There were strong jolts. We were very scared. We just ran outside,” another told IANS.

    “I could see the fan moving. We immediately ran out of our houses,” a Delhi resident told IANS.

    “I was working on my laptop when I felt the chair moving. Then I looked at the fan, and it was also moving. I quickly ran out of my home,” a local of Delhi said.

    Although no earthquakes of magnitude 6 or higher have occurred near New Delhi in the past decade, small to moderate tremors do happen occasionally.

    A minor earthquake of 2.3 magnitude with an epicentre in South East Delhi struck on June 8. No damage or casualties were reported during this.

    In February this year, a 4.0 magnitude earthquake with an epicentre in Dhaula Kuan caused strong tremors across Delhi-NCR.

    In April, a 5.9 magnitude earthquake hit Afghanistan’s Hindu Kush. The tremors were also felt in Delhi. No loss of life was reported.

    The strongest earthquake recorded in Delhi’s history was a 6.0 magnitude earthquake on August 27, 1960.

  • MIL-OSI Australia: New truck handed over and station opened in Irymple

    Source:

    Irymple Fire Brigade has eagerly accepted the keys to a new heavy tanker and celebrated the official opening of their new station today.

    The keys were officially handed over today by the Minister for Emergency Services Vicki Ward, CFA Chief Officer Jason Heffernan and CFA Board Chair Jo Plummer. 

    The new station will allow Irymple’s dedicated volunteers to serve and protect the community well into the future.  

    Irymple Captain Andrew Millen said the new station and truck meant a lot to the brigade.  

    “The upgrades to our facilities and equipment have meant we have the necessary tools to continue keeping our community safe,” Andrew said. 

    “This has been a huge project and it is great to see the fruits of everyone’s labour come to fruition. 

    “We want to thank everyone who has been involved in this process, we really are so grateful. 

    “The brigade is very proud of its new station and truck and Irymple and surrounding communities will reap the benefits of this long into the future.” 

    The new station replaces the previous fire station on Koorlong Avenue in Irymple with a modern facility including four motor bays, a four-bay external shed, support areas, offices, and volunteer amenities.  

    The heavy tanker will also boost the brigade’s capability by providing 4,000 litres of water, an increase of 1,650 liters from the previous medium tanker.  

    The heavy tanker also has improved off-road performance, electronic monitors, electric rewind hose reels, and provides more safety and comfort features for volunteers. 

    Chief Fire Officer Jason Heffernan said it was great to see Irymple brigade receiving updated facilities and equipment.  

    “Irymple is a very remote brigade and they do an outstanding job of responding to their community as well as others around the area,” Jason said. 

    “The new station and truck will allow them to continue protecting lives and property for many years to come.”

  • MIL-OSI China: EU seeks trade deal framework with US, keeps retaliation option open: Officials

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

    The European Union (EU) is pushing for a framework of trade agreement in principle with the United States while retaining the options to retaliate, multiple EU officials said on Wednesday.

    “We are looking for a reliable framework — from which we can keep building our common trade,” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen told the European Parliament during a plenary session in Strasbourg, France.

    While reaffirming the EU’s adherence to its principles and readiness for “all scenarios,” von der Leyen said the 27-nation bloc favored a negotiated settlement.

    A Commission spokesperson echoed von der Leyen’s remarks, adding that an agreement in principle could be reached “in the coming days.”

    “We’re working hard to get an agreement in principle with the U.S., and that is where our focus is at this point,” the spokesperson said.

    U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he would “probably” send a letter to the EU within two days, adding: “A letter means a deal.”

    “They treated us very badly until recently, and now they’re treating us very nicely. It’s like a different world, actually,” he said.

    Trump also escalated trade tensions by threatening tariffs of up to 200 percent on foreign pharmaceuticals and 50 percent on copper. According to EU data, medical and pharmaceutical products, as well as medicaments have been among the bloc’s top exports to the United States over the past two years.

    EU trade chief Maros Sefcovic told lawmakers that Brussels and Washington had made “good progress” on the text of a joint statement or agreement in principle.

    “I hope to reach a satisfactory conclusion, potentially even in the coming days,” Sefcovic said. However, he emphasized that EU legislation and regulatory autonomy remain “red lines” and are “non-negotiable” in the talks.

    Bernd Lange, chair of the European Parliament’s trade committee, said the EU continues to face “illegal and unjustified” U.S. tariffs, referring to the 50 percent duties on steel and aluminum, and the 25 percent on cars and auto parts.

    “Of course, we are not really accepting this,” Lange told reporters in Strasbourg, adding that two key issues remain unresolved: Washington has yet to commit to significantly cutting existing tariffs or refraining from new ones.

    Lange warned that the EU is prepared to retaliate, with a first package of countermeasures set to take effect on July 14 if no agreement is reached.

    Regarding Trump’s letter, Lange said the EU had not received any correspondence so far and had “no clue” about its contents.

  • MIL-OSI China: Chinese humanoid robots demonstrate industrial capabilities in live factory test

    At a car parts factory in southwestern Chinese city of Mianyang, a group of humanoid robots undertook an unscripted, real-world stress test: identifying pallets and bins on the factory floor, autonomously planning their routes, and transporting the bins to their designated shelves.

    In this groundbreaking demonstration of the industrial potential of embodied AI, Shanghai-based robotics firm AgiBot and its partners livestreamed their dual-armed, wheeled robots performing real factory tasks for three uninterrupted hours on Wednesday afternoon.

    The live recording marked an advancement in the global robotics industry, showcasing how adaptive machines are poised to become standard collaborators in manufacturing.

    The A2-W robot team, which was deployed about a month before the live test, completed two full logistics shifts during the broadcast, moving over 800 cargo boxes per shift between assembly stations with virtually no errors.

    Their performance demonstrated their ability to navigate the dynamic chaos of a real factory environment. They deftly avoided moving obstacles like forklifts, recalculated paths when workers crossed their trajectory, and even adjusted their grip to handle misaligned boxes.

    At present, even on highly automated production lines, flexible tasks like handling bins still rely on human workers, who are prone to errors, said Deng Yang, engineering director of Fulin P.M., an auto parts supplier in Mianyang of Sichuan Province, whose clients include Volkswagen, General Motors, BYD, NIO and XPeng.

    “Robots, by contrast, can operate 24/7 with significantly higher accuracy in visual recognition,” Deng said.

    The A2-W robots outperformed traditional automation in resisting interference and correcting errors, according to Deng. Additionally, they can adapt to non-standard tasks and handle repetitive, hazardous work.

    Behind the adaptability of these robots is neural-network architecture designed by A.N.U., a Chengdu-based startup. “Today’s demonstration is a small step, but it may represent a giant leap for the global commercialization of embodied AI,” said Yang Zeng, A.N.U.’s algorithm director.

    Many Chinese manufacturers are now facing labor shortages, rising costs and demand for flexible production. While traditional industrial robots are efficient, they lack adaptability for small-batch, multi-product manufacturing. Humanoid robots are believed to be a solution to this problem.

    Humanoid robot firms such as UBTECH in Shenzhen and Kepler in Shanghai have previously conducted factory training, but Wednesday’s show was China’s first live broadcast of a real-world industrial trial.

    Chinese startups have gained global attention by showcasing robots performing impressive stunts like dancing, backflips and Tai Chi, and more robotics companies are now focusing on making these machines even smarter so that they can handle more practical tasks in factories.

    AgiBot sends its robots to a “technical school.” In a 4,000-square-meter space in Shanghai, locations like restaurants, bubble tea shops and homes have been recreated, with over 100 data collectors teaching robots daily chores.

    On Monday, the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center open-sourced its Tien Kung-Lab motion control framework, providing critical technological support for potential applications in industrial logistics, hazardous environments and other high-complexity scenarios. This April, Tien Kung made history by winning the world’s first half-marathon for humanoid robots.

    “In the future, robots will collaborate with automated production lines, AGVs (automated guided vehicles) and on-site engineers, enabling factories to move toward truly unmanned operations,” Deng said.

    “We’re at a transformative stage for industrial humanoid robots. In the next year or two, AgiBot will scale its general-purpose embodied robots across more industrial applications,” said Wang Chuang, an executive at AgiBot.

    China opened the scoring in the 15th minute when Yao Wei struck from distance. South Korea responded with increased pressing and created several chances before Jang Sel-gi netted the equalizer in first-half stoppage time.

    In the 67th minute, Yao turned provider, heading an assist to Shao Ziqin, who nodded home to restore China’s lead. But deep into stoppage time, Ji So-yun salvaged a dramatic draw for the hosts with a long-range strike.

    “We expected a tough game between two decent teams in Asia, playing under difficult conditions,” said China’s head coach Ante Milicic after the match. “We’re obviously disappointed to have conceded two goals, both in injury time of the first half and second half.”

    Milicic said he was proud of his team’s effort. “Playing away against a strong home crowd is never easy, and this kind of situation happened to us before, like when we played Australia,” he added.

    “Tonight we were so close, and I thought the girls deserved to hang on for the win,” he noted.

    “Still, I think they will gain confidence from taking the lead twice against such a strong opponent. We just need to look at why we’re conceding late and giving these [chances] away, because looking ahead to the Asian Cup, we will definitely need to hold on [to our leads].”

    Chinese player Wang Shuang said the team remains young and needs more time to build chemistry and improve understanding on the field. “We will give our all to perform well in the upcoming matches,” she added.

  • MIL-OSI China: PSG crush Real Madrid 4-0 to reach Club World Cup final

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

    Fabian Ruiz scored two first-half goals as Paris Saint-Germain reached the FIFA Club World Cup final on Wednesday with a 4-0 rout of Real Madrid.

    Ruiz struck either side of an assured Ousmane Dembele finish as PSG raced to an early 3-0 lead before substitute Goncalo Ramos added a fourth goal three minutes from time.

    The reigning French and European champions will meet Chelsea in the final at the same venue on Sunday.

    PSG took control from the outset in the all-European semifinal, with Ruiz cutting inside and forcing a diving save from goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.

    The Belgian goalkeeper was again called into action a minute later, showing sharp reflexes to turn the ball away after Nuno Mendes’ goal-bound attempt.

    The Parisian outfit went ahead in the sixth minute when Raul Asencio dithered inside Real Madrid’s box and the ball fell to Ruiz, who slotted into an empty net after Courtois rushed off his line.

    Dembele then finished clinically after Antonio Rudiger gave the ball away in his own half. The former Barcelona forward has now scored 27 goals in 33 games for his club in 2025.

    PSG was in rampant form and Ruiz made it 3-0 by firing low past Courtois following Dembele’s cross.

    At times it looked as if PSG was toying with Real Madrid’s defense. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia went close to scoring again when he beat Asencio with ease in the penalty area, dancing around the center-back before lashing just wide.

    Courtois prevented his team from entering halftime with a four-goal deficit, executing a fingertip save after Mendes’ dipping shot from distance.

    Real Madrid moved the ball with greater fluency after the break and Kylian Mbappe sent a 20-yard attempt over the bar after a slick exchange with Federico Valverde.

    Vinicius Junior, who struggled to make an impact in an uncustomary role on the right wing, then had a rare shot on goal before Jude Bellingham’s powerful long-range effort was blocked by Lucas Beraldo.

    One of the few highlights for Real Madrid was the encouraging form of Eder Militao, fit again after suffering the second anterior cruciate ligament injury of his career in November last year.

    The Brazilian defender, who replaced Asencio in the 64th minute, helped tighten Madrid’s defense and twice went close to scoring late on – sending a header just wide and drawing a full-stretch save from goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma with a low drive.

    But Paris Saint-Germain’s defense proved unbreakable, while at the other end, its appetite for goals remained undimmed.

    Ramos completed the rout by receiving Bradley Barcola’s pass and turning superbly out of trouble before rifling a shot past Courtois.

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    New York, NY, July 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — YZi Labs, an investment vehicle fueling impact in Web3, AI, and biotech, today announced its support for 10X Capital, a leading investment firm focused on digital assets & digital asset treasury companies, in establishing the BNB Treasury Company, an independent U.S. initiative for digital asset treasury management on BNB Chain.

    The BNB Treasury Company, which intends to pursue a public listing on a major U.S. stock exchange, aims to create a business that will provide investors in the USA with exposure to the growth and benefits of BNB, the world’s 4th largest digital asset token by market cap, and will be focused exclusively on the BNB Chain ecosystem.

    The development of the BNB Treasury Company will be led by an accomplished management team, including digital assets veteran David Namdar, Senior Partner at 10X Capital and co-founder of Galaxy Digital (Nasdaq:GLXY), formerly of Millennium Management; institutional investor Russell Read, CIO of 10X Capital and former CIO of CalPERS, the Alaska Permanent Fund, the Gulf Investment Corporation, and former deputy CIO of Deutsche (Bank) Asset Management; and former Kraken director Saad Naja, who sits on the executive board of directors of global retail brokerage firm Exinity.

    10X Capital, whose recent track record in digital asset treasury companies includes Nakamoto (Nasdaq:NAKA), has partnered with Cohen & Company Capital Markets, a division of Cohen & Company Securities, LLC, and Clear Street LLC to raise capital to fund its initial acquisition of BNB. 10X Capital will serve as the asset manager of the BNB Treasury Company.

    “BNB Chain is one of the most widely adopted blockchain ecosystems. BNB is the gas, the glue, and the governance layer for a scalable, decentralized future — powered by builders, for builders, and we believe expanding its institutional access can deliver meaningful benefits to the broader public,” said Ella Zhang, Head of YZi Labs. “By supporting this initiative, we aim to combine the strengths of the BNB ecosystem with 10X Capital’s institutional asset management and capital markets expertise. While we advocate for the adoption of BNB as a treasury asset, YZi Labs remains highly selective in formal partnerships and will only communicate any official collaborations through our official channels.”

    “BNB Chain is one of the largest, highest performing digital assets ecosystems globally, powering hundreds of millions of users, however institutional and retail investors in the U.S. have limited exposure to the growth of BNB.” added Hans Thomas, Founder & CEO of 10X Capital. “In line with our thesis on the unique ability of US-listed treasury companies to provide investors with access to digital assets opportunities globally, we believe the time is right for a well-capitalized, institutionally managed, pure-play treasury company to emerge as a gateway between U.S. investors and decentralized innovation on BNB Chain.”

    The BNB Treasury Company will emphasize transparency and verification of holdings, strong engagement with the BNB ecosystem and community, and expects to announce the closing of its related financing in the coming weeks.
