Hong Kong, September 7, 2018 /Xinwengao.com/ - The thought leadership report titled “The Trillion-Dollar Opportunity: Chinese Investment In ASEAN” offers a comprehensive review on managing risks and seizing opportunities along the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).

“This is a timely report as China’s important Belt and Road Initiative was launched five years ago, and this report offers detailed analysis of the achievements and challenges this national initiative has encountered in this past five years,” says Nina Xiang, managing editor of China Money Network. 

China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) turns five this year. With maturity, comes expectations, and, as with all global economic programs, expectations beget more expectations. In other words, the BRI is now entering a new phase and Southeast Asia will be front-and-center of China’s Belt and Road Initiative. 

While the BRI is considered a long-term objective, few can argue that the state-backed program will evolve into one of the defining geopolitical moves of our time. The numbers alone point to an unprecedented opportunity: two-thirds of the world’s population potentially touched; projections of US$4 trillion in investment forecast; and approximately 2,000-plus infrastructure projects on the cards.

Using all metrics, the size, scope and expectations of BRI are high. With geopolitical and economic tensions ripe globally, the world is watching and ASEAN will be one of the main theaters.  The role of the BRI within the Association of South East Asia Nations (ASEAN) provides a window into how China’s masterplan will evolve. 

Location-wise, many obstacles are removed in terms of logistics. Politically, the Chinese government has also signed numerous Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) and trade agreements with ASEAN markets, paving way for new BRI projects. 

ASEAN and China have long-standing commercial and cultural links, underscoring the implications of the BRI to the South East Asia bloc. Supply chains between the regional economies are firmly established, investment corridors continue to open and from China’s point of view, the ASEAN region has a strong track record as a testing ground for international expansion. 

Since the launch of the China-backed program, ASEAN has been a major recipient of outbound capital flow. Singapore alone accounted for around half of China’s total overseas direct investment in the BRI zone in 2015. Elsewhere, Indonesia, Vietnam and Malaysia have appealed to Chinese investors and more outbound capital is already earmarked to arrive. 

Given this backdrop, the BRI has been welcomed in ASEAN, in the first phase at least.

The big question remains though, what happens next? More investment will be high on the agenda for both sides of the transaction. Identification of specific sectors for investment will also be a priority.  “The Trillion-Dollar Opportunity: Chinese Investment In ASEAN” report abstract can be downloaded at chinamoneynetwork.com.

“This is a must-read for investors and business leaders to learn about the most updated developments for seizing opportunities and managing challenges in China’s signature globalization program. Join us on 13 September in Hangzhou, China as we unveil the most anticipated, comprehensive BRI report so far,” says Naveet McMahon, managing partner of China Money Network.

Shanghai, China, March 16, 2016 /Xinwengao.com/ - Despite the fact that singing as an art occurred virtually at the same time as civilization appeared, rather few people can sing well. And now, only this innovative technology called Sing Assist can significantly improve the quality of song performances in karaoke, even if the performer has no talent or ear for music.

We can represent singing as a mathematical model by decomposing the contour into certain parameters. Each track in karaoke has its own contour and the Sing Assist singing technology adjusts the performer’s vocals to it. The output singing (the synthesized voice) is automatically modified to match the required octave, pitch, and tune.

Professional vocal with natural voice
The singing processor made by Sing Assist’s developer IT4YOU processes the source vocal data to match each standalone pitch. To avoid appearance of defects during the enhanced singing synthesis, the hardware part of the product smooths the song music on the temporal scale. Due to this, the performer’s voice remains natural.

When combining (mixing) the synthesized voice and the music, the software uses the voice technology patented by the developer, due to which it is possible to achieve guaranteed enhancement of the singing performance of the singer even in case of complex voice quality (defects of the speech path).

Functionality and options
The revolutionary technology is represented in the quality of the software, which is supported even by ordinary PCs, as well as mobile devices based on Android and iOS platforms. Anyone who has been shy of their vocal performance in karaoke can now sing now as a professional. The software features a dedicated social networking community, as well as support of social media on which performers can share their records, create albums, get comments, evaluate other singers, and do a lot of other things.

The singing processor can be widely used in karaoke bars for enhancement of performers’ singing and application of professional effects (echo, fading, reverberation, choir, etc.) without involving a sound engineer. This will not only allow singers to overcome the psychological discomfort, but also allow guests really enjoy pleasant performance of songs.

The advantage of the technology resides in the real-time voice smoothing. Also, the developer has implemented the solution that allows to avoid training the system before using it, due to which users can sing immediately after they have selected a song.

Find the booth number 20 of IT4YOU, the software developer, at the ICASSP 2016 Exhibition and evaluate the breakthrough in the world of singing technologies. Do not miss the technology presentation that is about to revolutionize the karaoke world.

New York, USA, February 4, 2015 /Xinwengao.com/ - BZ Media LLC today announced new dates for InterDrone , the International Drone Conference and Exposition to be held in Las Vegas, NV. The event, which will be the largest commercial drone expo in North America, will be held September 9-10-11 at the Rio All-Suites Hotel and Casino. More than 3,000 drone builders, flyers and buyers are expected to attend the largest annual event bringing together all the key participants in the growing market for commercial drone aircraft.

The three-day event features a two-day technical conference for drone-building engineers and software developers, and an overlapping two-day conference for the buyers and flyers of commercial drones, with more than 70 classes, panels and keynotes in all. There will also be an exposition with 80+ exhibitors expected to display their latest products and technology.

“Interest in InterDrone is unlike any show I have ever produced, with several calls per day from interested parties. Shifting our dates forward allowed us to add space to our existing contract. We’re working night and day building this event,” said Ted Bahr, President & CEO of BZ Media.

BZ Media also announced that InterDrone is producing Drone TechCon, a two-day seminar held during AUVSI’s massive Unmanned Systems 2015 show on May 5-7, 2015 in Atlanta. “AUVSI recognized that with our background in producing high-quality conferences and our deep ties into technical markets that we would be a perfect partner to produce a related seminar on the technology behind building commercial drones,” noted Bahr.

More than 35 media partners across three continents have already signed on to support and help grow InterDrone, including RotorDrone, Unmanned Magazine, GIS Cafe, Electronic Products, Unmanned Aerial Online, Embedded Developer, Linux Pro, RTC Magazine, Unmanned Tech Solutions, GeoConnexion, and ChinaTechNews.com.

BZ Media produces the world’s largest Android developer conferences; Wearables TechCon, the largest conference and expo for the builders, designers and developers of wearable computing technology; the largest independent SharePoint conferences; and Big Data TechCon, the how-to technical conference for IT professionals implementing Big Data. BZ Media also publishes SD Times, the leading magazine for the software development industry. Bahr previously founded the Embedded Systems Conference (ESC) in 1989, which covers much of the underlying technology used in drones.

Drone is the familiar name for what are alternately called unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), unmanned air vehicles (UAV), or Unmanned Systems. The work of peaceful commercial drones is surprising people with the dozens and dozens of practical uses being written about nearly every day in the press. While the defense market for drones dwarfs commercial spending today, a BI Intelligence analyst report expects nearly $12 billion to be spent on commercial drones over the next decade, with growth ramping up quickly.

The exposition will allow manufacturers of drones to both source products from OEM exhibitors, as well as meet and sell to professional commercial drone buyers in the agriculture, journalism, film, search-and-rescue, and real estate industries, among others. “This will be a one-stop and a must-attend event for builders, buyers and flyers of commercial drones,” said Bahr. The exposition will also include a drone demonstration area, the Yes Fly Zone, in the exhibit hall.

Registration for the event—strictly for trade and commercial drone builders, buyers and flyers—is now open at www.InterDrone.com. The Call for Speakers has opened and will close on May 15. For information on speaking at InterDrone, contact Katie Serignese at kserignese@bzmedia.com.

Hong Kong, November 7, 2013 /Xinwengao.com/ - This year continues to be extraordinarily eventful in the global fight against graft, and at the Anti-Corruption Compliance Asia Pacific Summit 2013, December 12th-13th at the Intercontinental Grand Stanford Hong Kong, there will be high hopes for determining what it will mean in the long run.

Many Asian countries face deeply rooted problems stemming from corruption, which in an interdependent global market, in turn calls for international solutions. The Anti-Corruption Compliance Asia Pacific Summit 2013, hosted by Duxes (Shanghai) Business Consulting, is featuring presentations on the latest policies by speakers from across Asia’s legal field such as China’s State Administration for Industry and Commerce (SAIC), the Independent Commission Against Corruption of Hong Kong, and India’s Anti Corruption Bureau.

The summit will also be featuring representatives of global government and non-government organizations like ASEAN, the OECD and Transparency International, along with those from the corporate and legal communities, who as much as anyone, have great interests in understanding the evolving legal framework, new trends in enforcement, and how to avoid losses as corruption steals from everyone along the path of business.

In addition to formal presentations, the delegates will have an opportunity to be more actively involved in panel discussions on topics such as the current status of the FCPA and UK Bribery Act and monitoring “facilitation payments” in Asia Pacific markets. Along the way there will also be opportunities for more in-depth personal discussion and most certainly the development of long-term partnerships as delegates meet with others confronting and finding solutions to the very same challenges that come with preventing corruption in international business.
