As a pivotal year dawns for China and the world, CGTN published an article on Chinese President Xi Jinping’s 2026 New Year message. In his message, President Xi offered a comprehensive review of China’s trajectory in 2025, reiterating that the country continued to embrace the world with open arms and will boost development for all. The article outlines the concrete steps taken on the path to write a new chapter in the story of China’s miracle and the country’s readiness to work with all other nations in the cause of world peace and development.

In his annual New Year message on the eve of 2026, Chinese President Xi Jinping underscored the country’s readiness to work with all countries to advance world peace and development.

From setting new Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to introducing the Global Governance Initiative (GGI), Xi said China continued to embrace the world with open arms over the past year, and consistently stands on the right side of history.

Amid heightened uncertainty in 2025, China has put dialogue first and pursued win-win international cooperation, serving as a stabilizing anchor for the world and reflecting the nation’s firm and steady strides on the global stage.

Embracing the world with open arms

As a guardian of the international order and a provider of global public goods, China has advanced the reform of global governance through practical steps, achieving concrete progress.

With Xi proposing the GGI, 2025 emerged as a pivotal year for global governance. Guided by a vision for a more just and equitable global governance system rooted in extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits, the GGI charts a practical path for improving global governance and is expected to galvanize nations’ collective efforts in its implementation.

China plays an active part in global ecological governance. It has fully and effectively implemented the Paris Agreement and the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. Additionally, by setting its NDCs target for 2035 and putting forward the establishment of a Global Clean Energy Cooperation Partnership, China has taken measures to better address climate change.

In line with the needs of multilateral coordination, China firmly supports the United Nations in playing a central role. It has increased investment in the China-UN Peace and Development Fund and steadily advanced cooperation in related matters. In addition, China, together with more than 30 countries, has helped to set up the International Organization for Mediation headquartered in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, contributing to the maintenance of global peace and stability through the rule of law.

In 2025, China has taken a lead in the diplomatic arena as the host country of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit and the Global Leaders’ Meeting on Women, deepening and expanding global partnerships based on equality, openness and cooperation.

China’s commitment to improving the global governance system has offered a clear answer to the choices facing all nations between unity and division, dialogue and confrontation, win-win cooperation and zero-sum rivalry.

Shared opportunities

Highlighting the nation’s solid advances on the path to Chinese modernization, Xi said the country’s economic strength, scientific and technological abilities, defense capabilities and composite national strength all reached new heights as 2025 marks the completion of the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025).

From ensuring economic resilience to enabling major breakthroughs in innovation and tangible improvements in people’s livelihoods, China sought to energize high-quality development through innovation, turning itself into one of the economies with the fastest-growing innovation ecosystems, which has catalyzed the rapid development of new quality productive forces.

The number of AI enterprises in China has surpassed 4,500, reflecting the industry’s boom. The “AI Plus” strategic initiative has been integrated into industries such as manufacturing, finance and healthcare, forming a new engine for economic growth. From the launch of large-scale AI models to the blending of embodied intelligence with existing industries, China’s achievements in scientific and technological innovation have dazzled the world.

Furthermore, China’s technology breakthroughs have accelerated the application of humanoid robots in automobile manufacturing, logistics handling and power inspection scenarios, among others, laying a solid foundation for the development of this trillion-yuan-scale future industry.

China’s innovation has also been a boost to the global economy for the benefit of people around the world. For example, China’s BeiDou navigation services cover more than 140 countries and regions in areas such as early disaster warning systems, transportation and agriculture. One notable example is the China-Brazil Science and Technology Innovation Center, which has made clean energy accessible in remote areas.

The country has also shared technologies with Mongolia, Saudi Arabia and other countries to help combat desertification, as well as smart agriculture methods and machinery, enabling Egypt to better cope with water shortages and food security challenges.

The year 2026 marks the beginning of the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030). “A successful venture should start with a good plan and with clear goals set.” In his message, President Xi urged the nation to take solid steps to promote high-quality development, further deepen reform and opening up across the board, deliver prosperity for all, and write a new chapter in the story of China’s miracle.

Doha, Qatar, 19th February 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, Qirtas App, a dual-interface digital platform headquartered in Istanbul and Malmo, announced its mission to bridge the global gap in Arabic literature accessibility following its successful showcase in the Alpha Startup category at Web Summit Qatar. By integrating cutting-edge AI production tools with a seamless streaming interface, Qirtas is providing the technical infrastructure needed to digitize the fragmented $4 billion Arab publishing market.

Despite a global population of 430 million Arabic speakers, the publishing industry has long been hampered by prohibitive shipping costs, high piracy rates, and a lack of digital infrastructure. Qirtas App addresses these systemic barriers through a twofold solution: a freemium streaming platform for readers and a sophisticated digital management backend for publishers.

Empowering Publishers through the “AI Production Suite”

Qirtas is not merely a distributor; it is a catalyst for digital transformation. For traditional publishers, the platform offers a dedicated portal to convert physical catalogs into secure, monetizable digital assets.

AI-Automated Production: The platform utilizes proprietary AI to automatically generate high-quality audiobooks and smart summaries, drastically reducing the time and cost barriers that previously prevented publishers from entering the digital space.

Institutional Security: With advanced Digital Rights Management (DRM) and real-time reader analytics, publishers maintain full control over their intellectual property while gaining unprecedented insights into global consumption patterns.

The Future of the Arab Reading Experience

For the global Arab diaspora, Qirtas offers a comprehensive streaming library featuring Qirtas AI, an interactive reading assistant that provides instant translation, text-to-speech narration, and social integration.

“The Arab publishing world is rich in content but starved of modern distribution,” said Tamer Odeh, CEO of Qirtas App. “With Qirtas, we are removing the friction. We aren’t just giving readers an app; we are giving publishers the tools to survive and thrive in a digital-first economy.”

Alaa Barghouth, COO of Qirtas App, added: “Our participation in Web Summit Qatar has confirmed the massive appetite for this technology. We have already secured commitments from major publishing houses ready to onboard their catalogs. We are now focused on scaling our infrastructure to meet this demand.”

Market Opportunity & Investment

The digital publishing segment in the MENA region is currently valued at $400 million and is experiencing rapid year-over-year growth. Having validated its model with early industry commitments, Qirtas App is currently open for pre-seed investment to accelerate its market launch and expand its AI-driven production capabilities.

Press Release

BTCD Foundation Launches Layer 1 Blockchain Infrastructure and Opens Public Testnet

Published

on

February 19, 2026

By

The BTCD Foundation has announced the upcoming deployment of its proprietary Layer 1 blockchain infrastructure. This development marks the introduction of a new technical framework designed to support decentralized applications and secure digital transactions. The Foundation has confirmed that the Public Testnet is scheduled to open for user participation on February 15, 2026.

Technical Architecture and Infrastructure

The BTCD platform is engineered as an independent Layer 1 blockchain, distinct from token-based projects that rely on existing third-party networks. The core infrastructure utilizes a hybrid consensus mechanism combining Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) and Proof of Stake (PoS) protocols.

This architectural design is intended to address common scalability challenges in blockchain technology. The technical specifications indicate a capacity for high-volume throughput, with initial testing targeting transaction speeds of over 10,000 transactions per second (TPS) while maintaining sub-second finality. The system is built to operate autonomously, providing a decentralized foundation for developers and users.

Testnet Deployment and Minting Mechanism

Beginning February 15, 2026, the BTCD Foundation will initiate the Public Testnet phase. This phase allows users to interact with the network’s minting protocol to test system stability and performance.

The minting process follows a programmed algorithmic schedule designed to test the network’s long-term sustainability over a projected 25-year timeline. The protocol includes technical halving events scheduled every 2.5 years to regulate the issuance rate of digital assets on the network.

Transition to Mainnet

The Testnet phase is a precursor to the official Mainnet launch, which is currently scheduled for May 15, 2026. The Foundation has outlined a technical migration plan wherein digital assets minted during the Testnet phase will be recognized on the Mainnet system upon its activation.

Ecosystem Development Roadmap

Following the Mainnet launch, the BTCD Foundation plans to deploy a suite of decentralized applications (dApps) integrated directly into the Layer 1 core. The technical roadmap outlines the phased release of nine specific utilities, including:

  • Nexora: A decentralized communication protocol.
  • Guardian DEX: A decentralized exchange interface.

  • WealthBook: A social networking platform integrated with blockchain identity verification.

    Future updates scheduled for later in 2026 involve the integration of automated trading algorithms and asset management utilities.

About BTCD Foundation

The BTCD Foundation is a technology organization focused on the development of Layer 1 blockchain solutions. It aims to build a scalable, secure, and decentralized infrastructure to support the next generation of digital applications.
