For enterprises, the focus is on enhancing office and R&D efficiency and enabling intelligent operations, to achieve self-evolving workflows and closed-loop decision-making. For homes, ZTE has launched innovative terminals with different screen sizes which serve as entry points to a fully connected smart home. They can be household AI assistant, AI entertainment companion, and AI security guardian—always on, always active for an intelligent lifestyle. For individuals, the company has introduced a new AI-native paradigm spanning AI phones, AI cloud PCs, AI smart displays, FreeScreen and more, enabling personalized recommendations, contextual responses, and immersive interactions across travel, life, and work. AI knows better and delivers enjoyable smart experiences anytime, anywhere. Leveraging the AIOS technological foundation, Co-Claw agent platform, and a full lineup of AI devices, ZTE transforms tokens into schedulable, serviceable, and monetizable resources. This allows operators and enterprises to develop a closed–loop model for token-based services. AI + Network, Co-Building a Future of Intelligent, Ubiquitous 6G Connectivity 6G is more than a generational leap in connectivity. It also serves as the critical infrastructure that enables efficient token circulation in the AI era.

The AIR MAX solution comprehensively upgrades the network architecture with AI at its core and delivers a three-tier capability system involving the AI-native infrastructure, autonomous operations, and monetization engine. Together, they empower operators in capability evolution, service transformation, operational shift, and ecosystem reshaping for the AI era. The AI HI-NET solution delivers three key capabilities—AI-native, ultra-high-speed and lossless, and intrinsically secure, laying a solid network foundation for ubiquitous intelligent computing access, lossless wide-area connectivity, and the integration of computing, network, security, and service. The 10G AI-Optical Network solution has been widely deployed across homes, campuses, small businesses, and other key scenarios, unlocking greater value of all-optical cities. Meanwhile, ZTE continues to promote key scenario applications through innovations such as new calling with AI assistant, "first-class" mobile network services, ISAC for low-altitude economy, and highly autonomous networks. These efforts are made to build a more intelligent, efficient, and trustworthy connectivity foundation for the AI era. From AI factory to AIOS, agent platform, and future networks, ZTE demonstrated an end-to-end capability system at MWC Shanghai 2026. The system covers token production, scheduling, and circulation, integrating computing, network, terminals, and agents to accelerate AI from technological breakthroughs to large-scale deployment. The AI industry is accelerating into the inference era, where tokens have become a key measure of AI-driven value creation. Looking to the future, ZTE will work with industry partners to build AI infrastructure and ecosystems that are more efficient, inclusive, and sustainable.

UN Mobilising, Coordinating Relief In Response To Venezuela Quakes

NEW YORK, June 25 -- The United Nations (UN) is mobilising assistance and working closely with the government and aid partners in response to the Venezuela earthquake emergency, UN humanitarians said on Thursday, reported Xinhua. The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said that it is orchestrating the deployment of urban search-and-rescue teams arriving from several countries. Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator Tom Fletcher said in a statement that the UN and its humanitarian partners are fully mobilised to support the people of Venezuela. UN agencies in Venezuela are mobilising assistance and will deliver support as quickly as possible, he said, adding that the UN team is in close contact with Venezuela's acting president Delcy Rodriguez and relevant national authorities. Fletcher said that even before the earthquakes, nearly eight million people in Venezuela were in need of humanitarian support. “This disaster risks deepening existing vulnerabilities.” Stephane Dujarric, chief spokesman for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, said the Venezuelan government has declared a state of emergency, while international support is rapidly mobilising multiple offers of assistance from across the region and beyond. A central coordination hub has been established in Caracas, and the UN is supporting efforts to ensure that assistance reaches those most in need as quickly and effectively as possible, he said. The spokesman said that reports indicated significant destruction across several states, including in the capital Caracas, reportedly killing and injuring many people, while others remain trapped or are still missing. Critical infrastructure has been damaged, and basic services have been disrupted. The secretary-general welcomed the offers of solidarity and support from UN member states. “The secretary-general expresses his solidarity with the people and Government of Venezuela,” Dujarric said. The UN Office of the High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) said that the effects of the earthquake are likely to exacerbate existing protection risks, particularly for returnees, displaced people and communities already facing barriers to services. “These risks include heightened risks of gender-based violence and unsafe or inadequate housing, and reduced access to health care, water, education and livelihoods, among others,” UNHCR said. -- BERNAMA-XINHUA

Jonassen Leaves Door Wide Open For Tze Yong’s Return To BAM

KUALA LUMPUR, June 26 -- National singles coaching director Kenneth Jonassen has left the door wide open for Ng Tze Yong to return to the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM), should he choose to do so. He insisted that the national governing body will always welcome the men's singles shuttler back, despite his decision to turn professional. Jonassen revealed that the decision came after a series of frank discussions between both parties, and stressed that it was the best possible outcome for everyone involved. "I keep an open-door policy. If he decides to come back, he knows he's always welcome here,” he told reporters after a training session at Academy Badminton Malaysia (ABM), Bukit Kiara, here today. Jonassen admitted it was tough to part ways with a player of Tze Yong's calibre and natural flair, especially since he had been eagerly looking forward to working closely with the 26-year-old when he joined BAM in 2024. "From a personal side, it's always very tough to lose a player with the qualities and potential he has as a natural, really talented badminton player,” he said. Jonassen, however, remains confident that Tze Yong can still revive his career if he regains full fitness and rekindles the fire needed to battle the world's best. “I truly believe if he can settle his body and condition, he still has a great future,” he added.  BAM and national men's singles shuttler Tze Yong had mutually agreed to part ways, effective June 30. -- BERNAMA

Part-time Surveyor Charged With Abandonment, Leading To Death Of 41 Cats

PETALING JAYA, June 26 -- A part-time surveyor pleaded not guilty at the Sessions Court here today to charges of abandoning 36 cats, causing them to starve, and leading to the deaths of 41 cats in March.  Lee Reo Jin, 49, entered the plea after both charges were read out before Judge Noor Ruzilawati Mohd Nor.  For abandoning 36 live cats in conditions likely to cause them pain due to starvation at an apartment unit in Subang Jaya, the charge was framed under Subsection 29(1)(p) of the Animal Welfare Act 2015 (Act 772), punishable under Subsection 29(1) of the same Act, which provides for a fine of not less than RM20,000 and not more than RM100,000, or imprisonment of up to three years, or both, upon conviction.  For the second charge, Lee, as the owner of the cats, was accused of causing the death of 41 cats at the same place and time. The charge was brought under Subsection 29(1)(r) of the Animal Welfare Act 2015 (Act 772), which carries similar penalties.  Prosecuting officer from the Selangor Veterinary Services Department, Mohd Sharif Sabran, offered bail at RM20,000 for both charges with one surety, along with an additional condition that the accused’s passport be surrendered to the court.  However, Lee, who was unrepresented, appealed for a lower bail on the grounds that she had no fixed income.  The court allowed bail at RM10,000 for both charges with one surety, and the additional condition requested by the prosecution.  Noor Ruzilawati then set Aug 7 for case mention for the appointment of counsel.  It was earlier reported that a team from the Selangor Veterinary Services Department conducted a raid on an apartment unit in Subang Jaya on March 13 following complaints of a foul odour emanating from the unit.  The raid uncovered 41 cat carcasses wrapped and stored in a freezer, with some found scattered in the living room and cages.  In addition, 36 cats were found alive in cages, in an emaciated and weakened condition. -- BERNAMA
