Kmind Debuts Executive Strategy Program in Silicon Valley

SHANGHAI, Sept. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Kmind Consulting, China's leading strategy consulting firm, hosted an Executive Strategy Program on 18th September at Silicon Valley's Computer History Museum, becoming the first Chinese strategy consulting firm to do so. Led by Noah Xie, Chairman and CEO of Kmind, the program brought the company's strategic know-how to more than 100 executives and business leaders from the technology and consumer sectors.

The Innovation Dividend is Shrinking

Silicon Valley tech firms are experiencing a disconnect: technology is advancing rapidly, while turning technological capabilities into durable business value is becoming harder. Companies with leading AI capabilities are releasing new models and products at a relentless pace, intensifying competition while increasing the cost of innovation. At the same time, as technological capabilities become increasingly accessible, competitors can replicate products, features and even aspects of proprietary know-how more quickly.

As the window for technological differentiation narrows, entrepreneurs increasingly face the same question: How can companies turn technological leadership into sustainable business growth and build competitive advantages that are difficult to replicate?

Strategy in the age of AI

Kmind's Program answered this question by deconstructing the company's Next Generation Strategy, a framework blending Eastern wisdom with Western theory, with a particular focus on how customer perception shapes decisions across product development, operations and go-to-market strategy. This framework has helped more than 100 companies pursue sustained growth and stronger competitive positions.

The Program also brought real-world cases from leading Chinese companies to Silicon Valley, including:

- Bosideng, a decades-old down jacket brand facing an aging brand image, reshaped its high-end perception through strategic products, achieving seven consecutive years of growth to become a global leader in the down-jacket market.

- Feihe, one of China's leading dairy manufacturers, transformed from the seventh-ranked infant formula brand into a leading global player through targeted competitive positioning.

Both companies illustrate a broader principle: sustainable growth comes from connecting what a company can build with what customers value, and then embedding that insight across product, brand and go-to-market decisions.

For AI and technology companies, the same principle applies: technological capability becomes strategically valuable only when it translates into differentiated customer value.

"The central challenge for technology companies today is no longer simply how to build better technology, but how to translate technological advantage into lasting customer value and competitive advantage. That is why we brought Kmind's Next Generation Strategy to Silicon Valley."

— Noah Xie, Chairman and CEO, Kmind Consulting

"It is rare to encounter a strategic framework as distinctive as Kmind's Next Generation Strategy in Silicon Valley. Its emphasis on connecting technology with customer insight offers a valuable perspective for companies navigating the AI era."

—Russell Flannery, Former Editor-in-Chief, Forbes China

JA's P-HJT Modules Successfully Reach Orbit
Image File
Original HTML

BEIJING, Sept. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- JA announced that its independently developed and packaged P-type heterojunction (P-HJT) modules were successfully launched aboard a Kuaizhou-11 rocket from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center on September 17 and entered their planned orbit.

The mission marks JA's first in-orbit test of P-HJT modules, with future large-scale commercial applications as a long-term goal.

"Energy innovation has long been a driving force behind human progress," said Dr. Ouyang Zi, Chief Technology Officer of JA. "As satellite deployment accelerates and the space economy expands, solar power is expected to play an increasingly important role in future space infrastructure. Developing more cost-competitive solar solutions for space is therefore an important strategic priority.

"JA has spent years building expertise in photovoltaic technology, with the reliability and long-term performance of its products proven through large-scale manufacturing and deployment across a wide range of terrestrial applications. This in-orbit test extends those capabilities into the space environment and marks an important step in JA's exploration of future space energy solutions.

"Through real-world testing in orbit, we aim to assess the reliability and degradation of crystalline silicon technology in low-Earth orbit and explore more cost-competitive options for future space energy systems. The technology will require long-term validation, but we believe it is a direction worth pursuing."

In orbit, the JA modules will be exposed to harsh conditions, including intense radiation, high-energy particles and extreme temperature swings. By comparing in-orbit performance data with results from ground-based simulations, JA will assess the long-term reliability and degradation of P-HJT technology in low-Earth orbit.

If the validation targets are achieved, the program could help accelerate the adoption of mature crystalline silicon technologies as an alternative to gallium arsenide in low-Earth-orbit applications, potentially lowering the cost of satellite power systems. It could also support the development of satellite internet, remote sensing, space communications, space-based computing and other low-Earth-orbit applications.

JA will use the mission as a starting point to further strengthen its module R&D and manufacturing capabilities and advance scalable energy solutions for space exploration and commercial space applications.

Space PV remains at an early stage of exploration and validation, and large-scale commercialization remains highly uncertain. JA currently has no orders related to space PV, and the program has no material impact on its current operating performance.

Huawei Grid-Interactive AIDC Solution: Shaping the New Paradigm of AI Infrastructure

SHANGHAI, Sept. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- HUAWEI CONNECT 2026 kicked off in Shanghai, The HUAWEI AIDC Facility Summit was held alongside the event. Huawei unveiled its grid-interactive AIDC solution, setting a new paradigm for AI infrastructure to maximize tokens per watt.

Hou Jinlong, Director of the Board of Huawei and President of Huawei Digital Power, delivered the opening speech at the summit. He shared four insights on architectural innovation and systematic design to address AIDC construction challenges such as power acquisition, power quality, rack power supply and heat dissipation, and engineering delivery.

First, innovative power architecture and liquid cooling ensure stable power supply and efficient heat dissipation, delivering comprehensive reliability and efficiency. Second, a multi-layer hybrid energy storage system absorbs local power fluctuations, enhancing AIDC power quality and grid-friendliness. Third, electricity-compute synergy and supply-consumption interaction enable AIDCs to transform from rigid loads to an integral part of the new power system. Fourth, construction mode innovation and modular, prefabricated, and product-based delivery significantly shorten the lead time.

Mr. Hou emphasized that maximizing tokens per watt and minimizing costs per token will be the core competitiveness of compute factories.

Huawei Grid-Interactive AIDC Solution Unveiled

Bob He, Vice President of Huawei Digital Power, stated that as the share of renewable energy grows, the power grid exhibits stronger features of power electronics. Coupled with the rapid and severe power fluctuations of AI workloads, compute and energy infrastructure are no longer decoupled but deeply coordinated. By leveraging "3+1" innovations, Huawei builds a grid-interactive AIDC solution that is highly reliable, energy-efficient, fast to deliver, and grid-friendly to maximize tokens per watt.

In the watt domain, Huawei proposes a future-oriented MIMO power supply architecture. To address industry challenges, Huawei has launched the grid-interactive AIDC 1.0 solution. By integrating grid-friendly UPS, intelligent lithium batteries, and grid-forming energy storage systems, the solution enables AIDC to adapt to and support the power grid while smoothing AI workload fluctuations. In the heat field, Huawei launched an AI-powered liquid cooling system, predict the health of working fluids, and facilitate predictive maintenance.

According to Mr. He, Huawei's unique advantage lies in its end-to-end energy and full-stack AI capabilities.

Compute-Electricity Synergy: Establishing a Solid Foundation for the AI Era

Booming AI has brought about a sharp increase in tokens, posing higher requirements on AI infrastructure. Xia Qin, Chief Expert in Huawei Computing Strategy Planning, noted that AIDC is evolving toward an integrated, coordinated compute-network-storage architecture, and energy is fundamental to infrastructure. An energy system that is highly reliable, energy-efficient, and rapidly deployable allows hyperscale AI compute clusters to operate reliably, establishing a solid foundation for large-scale training and inference in the agentic era.

Traditional data centers have limited interaction with the power grid. However, AI workloads are prone to high-frequency changes, which can easily cause grid operation issues such as grid disconnection and unstable wideband oscillation. Josh Chen, Founder & Chairman of VNET Group, stated that power sources, campuses, and buildings can be redefined to enable mutual support among power sources, scheduling within campuses, and DC power supply for buildings. This will create a new power system centered on direct green power connection and active microgrids, ensuring reliable and stable power supply for GW-level AIDC.

Lin Hai, General Manager of Intelligent Computing Center, SenseCore Business Group at SenseTime, elaborated on the efficiency evolution of SenseTime intelligent computing from PUE to TPW at the summit. SenseCore is driving the transformation of IDC from energy efficiency management centered on power usage effectiveness (PUE) to end-to-end efficiency management centered on tokens per watt, which directly connects power consumption with token output, covering the entire chain from power plants and grids to IDC rack services, computing cloud services, and model services. It's a metric that reflects the essence of AI production. Through end-to-end optimization, SenseCore has improved the TPW by 80%.

At HUAWEI CONNECT 2026, Huawei showcased its grid-interactive AIDC solution and one-stop AI inference solution, to build a computing foundation that is highly reliable, energy-efficient, and fast to deliver for AI cluster infrastructure.

DUO POWER BOOST: Clivet Debuts Next-Gen Magnetic Levitation Technology and AI Cooling Portfolio at AI Infra Summit 2026

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Sept. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Under the DUO POWER BOOST theme, Clivet made the global debut of its Next-Gen Magnetic Levitation Technology at AI Infra Summit 2026 in Santa Clara, California. The company also presented a portfolio of cooling sources, liquid cooling distribution, and supporting products for data centers, alongside a joint power-and-cooling coordination solution with CLOU.

According to the company, rising AI computing densities are placing growing pressure on data center cooling, with high-temperature performance degradation, energy efficiency bottleneck, and reliability risks as key challenges. General-purpose cooling technologies can no longer meet the specific needs of data centers, driving demand for AIDC-optimized thermal management solutions.

The portfolio's core is Clivet's next-generation magnetic levitation compressor, built on the DUO POWER BOOST dual-rotor variable-speed architecture. In a two-stage compression structure, two rotors and their impellers can adjust speed independently based on operating conditions, adapting to different flow rates and pressure ratios. According to Clivet, this design brings data center load variations, water temperature conditions, and system operating strategies into cooling source design, supporting optimization under complex conditions.

Addressing cooling needs across the data center, Clivet displayed a portfolio comprising magnetic levitation cooling sources, magnetic CDUs, high-capacity CDUs, fan walls, and terminal units. The air-cooled magnetic levitation chiller serves facility-side cooling, while the magnetic CDU combines cooling source and liquid cooling distribution functions.

A high-capacity CDU displayed at the event handles secondary-side heat exchange and distribution, with capacity ranging up to 3 MW (at 3K approach temperature difference, ATD) or 5 MW (at 5K ATD). Predictive temperature control keeps fluctuations within ±0.5°C, while key components support online replacement, helping ensure continuous operation in high-availability environments.

Through different product combinations, the solution can be configured according to project climate conditions, rack density, and supply requirements.

In addition, Clivet and CLOU jointly demonstrated a power-and-cooling coordination solution for AI workloads. CLOU provided energy storage and power delivery capabilities, while Clivet delivered thermal management products and solutions for high-density computing environments. For high-density computing projects, power configuration, thermal design, space layout, and operation and maintenance planning need to be considered simultaneously in the early stages of a project.

Coordinated planning of power and cooling aims to help customers assess the relationships between different infrastructure links from a system perspective, providing a reference for subsequent solution design and engineering delivery.

From a portfolio covering facility-side, liquid-cooling, and outdoor heat rejection stages, to the power-and-cooling coordination showcase, and to the launch of the next-generation magnetic levitation compressor, Clivet's appearance at the event presented its technology and product layout for data center thermal management.

When 210 million people learn Chinese, they see more than a language

BEIJING, Sept. 19, 2026/PRNewswire/ -- The following article was published today by China Daily.

In the past, it was widely agreed that Chinese was difficult to learn. Today, however, Chinese has a special appeal, and learning it feels like opening the door to a fresh new world. On TikTok, a video by Chinese American Sherry Zhu turned drinking hot water, wearing cotton slippers and brewing goji berries into a global trend, gaining her 740,000 followers in months. One user even memorized the character "呢" by breaking it into "o-p-t", to the delight of commenters. Chinese is moving from the classroom into everyday life worldwide. In many countries, even knowing Chinese can mean landing a well-paid job.

The numbers bear this out. According to China's Ministry of Education, 90 countries have incorporated Chinese into their national education systems, with nearly 210 million learners and users worldwide. In the first half of this year, 564,000 candidates sat for the Chinese Proficiency Test (HSK) globally, up 36 percent year on year.

Of course, economics is not the only driver. At this year's Chinese Bridge competition, Vietnam's Le Van Dai started with a self-study handbook, writing the character "我" a hundred times before Chinese poetry carried him all the way to the stage, "Tang and Song verse nourished my heart", he says.

Togo's Wang Jiayi discovered Chinese through martial artist Jackie Chan films, and later saw a different China in the TV series Meet Yourself — "those stories made my imagination of China more concrete day by day".

American contestant Ma Siwei calls himself a "challenge addict" who picked Chinese precisely because it is hard, teaching himself the bamboo flute and hulusi through online videos, and once performed Spring Festival Overture at a China-US concert.

Australia's Ava Gibbons visited China with her parents at the age of 12 and has studied the language for seven years. She performed a fish-lantern dance in hanfu and says the journey "closed the distance between me and China — not on the map, but between hearts".

Brazil's Song Yinuo stood on the Chinese Bridge stage for the first time, climbing the Great Wall and telling her teacher excitedly. For her, the competition was never just a contest but "real, vivid experiences" — "I came to know China through its language, met friends through conversation, and in each hands-on experience saw a bigger world and my own future".

This year marks the 25th anniversary of Chinese Bridge. Over the years, the competition has drawn Chinese-language enthusiasts from around the world. Right now, the secondary and primary school competitions are taking place in Tianjin, bringing together young people from over a hundred countries to make friends and see China through its language.

Twenty-five years ago, Chinese Bridge was just a competition. Today, it has become a phenomenon. When 210 million people learn Chinese, they are not merely absorbing grammar and vocabulary — they are encountering a China that is engaging with the world in ways both deep and daily. And through the eyes of these young people, China is being seen more clearly, and more truthfully, by the world.

Siemba Named a Sample Vendor in Three 2026 Gartner® Hype Cycle™ Reports for the Third Consecutive Year
Image File
Original HTML

ATLANTA, Sept. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Siemba, a leading Offensive Security provider announced that it was named a Sample Vendor for Penetration Testing as a Service in three 2026 Gartner® Hype Cycle™ reports: the Hype Cycle for Security Operations, the Hype Cycle for Application Security, and the Hype Cycle for XaaS.

This marks the third consecutive year Siemba has been named in all three Hype Cycle reports, following three reports in 2025 and three in 2024. Siemba believes this reinforces its continued role in shaping the future of offensive security.

In our view, the Gartner Hype Cycle reports provide a perspective on the maturity and adoption of emerging technologies. For cybersecurity and infrastructure decision-makers, they serve as strategic guides for evaluating technology maturity, adoption timelines, and investment priorities. Siemba's inclusion spans three distinct research agendas:

- The 2026 Hype Cycle for Security Operations, which examines the technologies and services that enable the operational defense of digital assets, including the continued growth of CTEM as a priority for security teams.

- The 2026 Hype Cycle for Application Security, which examines how AI transformation, agentic applications, and shifting DevSecOps practices are reshaping enterprise application risk.

- The 2026 Hype Cycle for XaaS, which examines how everything as a service is redefining IT as a utility and platform-driven consumption model.

Our takeaways in all three reports - PTaaS is profiled as delivering automated and human-led testing through a SaaS platform, supporting point-in-time, continuous, and change-driven assessments, and increasingly incorporating external attack surface discovery to expand coverage. The research notes that PTaaS supports Continuous Threat Exposure Management through dynamic scoping, adaptive retesting, and faster mobilization of results, and that it enables continuous or change-based validation earlier in the software development life cycle while delivering findings through a platform that accelerates remediation and collaboration.

"To us, being named a Sample Vendor in all three reports for a third consecutive year reflects the growing enterprise conviction that continuous, platform-driven offensive security is no longer a nice-to-have. It is a strategic imperative," said Kannan Udayarajan, Founder and CEO of Siemba.

"Our Full Funnel Offensive Security platform is purpose-built for the speed and scale that modern security programs demand. We believe this reflects real momentum in how CISOs are modernizing their offensive security posture, particularly as AI-assisted development expands the attack surface faster than annual testing cycles can cover it."

Siemba's AI-driven platform combines External Attack Surface Mapping, AI-native Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST), automated vulnerability assessments, and expert-led Penetration Testing as a Service, alongside coverage for emerging AI attack surfaces including MCP servers, agentic AI workflows, and LLM applications. Every fix is automatically retested, with certified engineer sign-off and audit-ready certificates issued through Verified Closure, helping enterprises operationalize CTEM programs at scale.
