First Smart Home Full-Link Ecosystem Launched
GUANGZHOU, China--(BUSINESS WIRE)--On July 8, 2025, Heungkong Group and Tantron Group (TTG) co-hosted the Global Smart Ecosystem Summit (GSES) in Guangzhou, unveiling a historic leap for the smart home sector. The summit highlighted three industry-first breakthroughs: the world's inaugural interoperable, multi-protocol, and multi-scenario full-link smart ecosystem; unprecedented collaboration among 20+ global top-tier brands; and the launch of the Global Smart Ecosystem Initiative, a consensus-based framework endorsed by industry leaders. Ending Silos: Universal Gateway Technology Breaks Compatibility Limits For years, fragmented standards and protocol incompatibility have stifled smart home innovation. Heungkong Group, TTG, and global giants—including Switzerland's V-ZUG, Germany's Gaggenau, and Japan's Panasonic—have now broken the deadlock with their Universal Gateway technology. The solution bridges Matter, PLC, and Zigbee protocols, enabling real-time, cross-brand device synchronization. TTG founder Yao Minghai compared the system to a "polyglot translator", allowing devices that "speak different languages" to work seamlessly together. Tan Jianrong of the Chinese Academy of Engineering called the shift from single-device intelligence to full-link ecosystem intelligence a "transformative leap"—paralleling the evolution from feature phones to smartphones. Heungkong No.1: World's First Ecosystem Demonstration Project Launches The Heungkong No.1 project has established three industry-firsts: cross-brand scenario-level device integration; full-lifecycle smart home service platform; and deep AI self-learning integration into home ecosystems. This innovation sets a new global standard for smart living. Mei Hing Chak, Chairwoman of Heungkong Group, stated, "We've combined German Industrie 4.0 precision, Swiss craftsmanship, and Chinese innovation to create a new future for smart living." Xu Xiaojian from Gaggenau announced the brand's first-ever full-link ecosystem integration, with dual support for Matter and Heungkong No.1 protocols. Driving Global Standards: China's Vision Gains International Backing The summit achieved unprecedented global alignment: Yves Leterme, former Belgian Prime Minister and Honorary Dean of Heungkong No.1 Future Life Art Institute, publicly endorsed the initiative; V-ZUG launched weekly technical exchanges with Chinese partners—a first for the Swiss manufacturer; while ASKO celebrated the collaboration as " Nordic engineering meets next-generation Chinese platform design ". More than 20 heritage brands—including Gaggenau, V-ZUG, ASKO, and Panasonic—jointly unveiled the Global Joint Initiative on Full-Link Smart Home Ecosystems. The China-proposed framework establishes 10 principles addressing interoperability, user data ownership, and sustainable technology. Professor Jin Sheng, AI ethics authority, highlighted its integration of "transparency, controllability, and explainability"—calling it "essential for ethical AI advancement."

Sarawak launches digital system to streamline homeless support at TTG Kuching
Fatimah speaks to reporters while Tan (left) and Hilmy (right) look on. – Photo by Aileen Yap KUCHING (July 11): Sarawak has rolled out the Integrated Social Management System (ISMS) at the newly launched Kuching Temporary Transit Centre (TTG), enabling multi-agency collaboration to provide swift, coordinated, and dignified support for the city's homeless population. State Women, Childhood and Community Wellbeing Development Minister, Dato Sri Fatimah Abdullah, said ISMS digitally stores each individual's background, medical records, and support history, allowing seamless data sharing and intervention across departments. 'This system allows for real-time profiling and data sharing, from health screenings and referrals to job-matching and welfare assistance,' she told reporters after launching the TTG Kuching today. She describing it as a 'seamless and dignified' solution to a complex social issue. Developed to strengthen the TTG model in Sarawak, ISMS ensures that every homeless individual admitted to the centre is screened, referred for hospital treatment if needed, and matched with suitable assistance, including mental health support or referrals to the National Anti-Drug Agency (AADK) in cases involving substance abuse. Fatimah said ISMS allows agencies such as the Social Welfare Department, Health Department, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), and enforcement bodies to coordinate effectively, with full documentation and tracking for each case. 'With ISMS, we can ensure that no one falls through the cracks. 'Every person has a profile, and every intervention is recorded,' she said. She emphasised that TTG Kuching is more than just a temporary shelter – it serves as a structured reintegration platform aimed at helping individuals return to society with dignity and independence. 'Residents at the centre will undergo health screenings by the Health Department, receive counselling, and be assessed for their interests and skills. 'Those deemed fit will be matched with training and employment opportunities,' she said. Fatimah added that for the elderly and persons with disabilities (PwD), the Social Welfare Department would step in to secure financial aid and support services tailored to their needs. 'What we want is for them to eventually leave TTG and live independently and with dignity,' she said.

Alibaba, JD.com sales surge during 618 shopping festival on the back of subsidy programme
Preliminary 618 retail data from Taobao and Tmall Group (TTG), Alibaba's domestic e-commerce unit, showed sales of categories that benefit from government subsidies – including consumer electronics products and home appliances – surged 283 per cent during the campaign's initial checkout period from May 13 to May 26, compared with the initial checkout period of its Singles' Day campaign last year. Alibaba owns the South China Morning Post. For sales of home appliances and electronics rose about 380 per cent year on year in the first hour of its 618 campaign, which started on May 30, according to the latest data on the company's website. Both major e-commerce platforms were among the first to join the central government's renewed trade-in programme. The 2025 programme enables consumers who already claimed subsidies during last year's roll-out to receive new rebates. The data from Alibaba and reflects improved domestic retail spending, as the national subsidy programme offers each consumer a rebate of up to 2,000 yuan (US$278) per item. Eligible goods include consumer electronics products, such as personal computers and smartphones , as well as a range of home appliances from refrigerators and washing machines to televisions and air conditioners.
