To reverse losses, Chinese airlines venture into livestreaming
BEIJING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 18 June 2025 – The livestreaming-commerce model has taken the world by storm in recent years. In China, numerous enterprises are actively venturing into livestreaming e-commerce, including several airlines.
In 2024, Hainan Airlines established HNA Preferred Business Co., Ltd., specializing in Internet livestreaming and sales. Notably, as early as 2020, the airline began piloting livestream sales on platforms like Ctrip, primarily offering flight tickets and hotel packages—making it one of China's earliest adopters of livestream commerce in the aviation sector.
Hainan Airlines released a loss forecast for the first half of 2024. Industry analysts suggest its progressive push into livestreaming likely stems from challenges in its core business, where achieving structural profit growth has become increasingly difficult, compelling the company to seek new revenue streams.

Flight attendant Zhuang Xuan of Hainan Airlines began participating in livestreaming e-commerce operations in 2022. Originally from China's Taiwan region, Zhuang has garnered a significant following due to her sweet appearance and distinctive Taiwan accent, driving considerable traffic to the airline's livestream initiatives.
'A sense of belonging means feeling that you have influence or a rightful place within your team—especially when your capabilities are recognized by everyone,' Zhuang remarked.
This young professional, under 30, is now pushing her boundaries at Hainan Airlines while seeking her own sense of belonging.

From an 'Experimental Zone' to a 'Pilot Zone', Guizhou has embarked on a new path of green development characterized with prosperous economy, wealthy people and ecological beauty. Significant Improvement in Eco-environment Guizhou persists in winning the 'Five Major Battles' of pollution prevention and control and coordinates the integrated eco-restoration of mountains, rivers, lakes, farmland, forests, grasslands and deserts.

The excellent water quality rate of 222 monitoring sections of major rivers is 99.1%, and that of 23 exit sections reaches 100%.

Since 2019, the water quality in Qiandongnan Prefecture has been among the top 10 in China for six consecutive years. Mr. Wu Hougui, a member of the Loong Boat Team in Ximen Community, Zhenyuan County, said, 'The Loong Boat Competition tradition can not be inherited for thousands of years without lucid waters and lush mountains.' Flourishing Green Industries Guizhou is accelerating the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, integrating green and low-carbon concept throughout the entire process of high-quality development. Guizhou has successfully established 85 national level green factories and 22 green industrial parks. The green economy accounts for about 48%. The first commercial hydrogen locomotive in China has started trial operation on Guizhou Meijin Railway Special Line in Zhongshan District, Liupanshui City, opening up a new path for clean coal transportation. The construction of 'Electric Guizhou' has achieved fruitful results. Since the beginning of 2025, a total of 3,054 electric heavy-duty trucks have been promoted and applied in the energy sector, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by about 332,000 tons.

Since the 14th Five-Year-Plan, Guizhou has shifted its greening focus from 'coverage expansion' to 'quality improvement'. Through projects such as degraded forest restoration and forest nurturing, the forest has been both 'greened' and 'increased in value'. Meanwhile, with both 'civil defense and technical defense', Guizhou has successfully protected the ecological foundation. For instance, there are 87 remote video surveillance points established in Guiyang to prevent forest fire. There are 400 infrared cameras installed to track the rare species in Mount Fanjing and more than 40,000 forest chiefs ready to guard forest resources. Efficient Resource Utilization and Green Transformation Guizhou has implemented the strategy of 'Refined Development of Rich Minerals' to promote efficient utilization of resources. In the field of phosphorus chemical industry, Qiannan Prefecture has laid out modern chemical and new energy battery material industries, realizing the transformation of phosphorus from 'fertilizer' to 'material'. The total output value of phosphorus based modern chemical and new energy battery materials has exceeded 50 billion yuan.

Elon Musk invited to Lebanon after phone call with President Aoun
Lebanon 's President Joseph Aoun has invited Elon Musk to Beirut after the world's richest man called him on Thursday and expressed interest in entering the country's dilapidated telecommunications sector. 'President Aoun received a phone call from the CEO of Tesla, Space X and the X platform, Elon Musk, who expressed his great interest in Lebanon and its telecoms and internet sector,' the Lebanese head of state's office said. 'At the end of the call, President Aoun invited Musk to visit Beirut, and Musk responded by thanking him for the invitation, promising to meet it at the first appropriate opportunity.' Mr Musk's Starlink internet satellites already cover some Middle East countries including Oman and Jordan. In May, Starlink's Global Director of Licensing and Development, Sam Turner, met Mr Aoun in Beirut to discuss making the service available in Lebanon. Mr Turner briefed the president on Starlink and its benefits 'in enhancing satellite internet service, which will positively impact the work of industrial, commercial, banking, and educational institutions, as well as government departments and institutions'. Mr Musk was a vocal and financial backer of US President Donald Trump in his White House run last year. He headed the Department of Government Efficiency for a number of months this year, before stepping down and engaging in a public feud with Mr Trump. Lebanon's telecommunication sector remains unstable yet expensive, and is in need of an upgrade that the government has struggled to introduce because of financial troubles. Starlink offers high-speed, broadband internet using satellites in orbits of between 200km and 2,000km. The country is in urgent need of financial support and is still reeling from Israel's war with Hezbollah last year, which left large areas of the country in need of reconstruction.
