Press Release
Glory Star expected to further increase profitability
Glory Star New Media Group, a Nasdaq-listed digital media platform and content-driven e-commerce company in China, is expected to be able to further increase its profitability with its growing market share and economy of scale.
The company reported a 15.8% growth in its Non-GAAP net income to US$16.9 million for the six-months ended June 30 from US$14.6 million in the same period of last year.
During the first half of this year, the company’s total revenues grew 144.6% to US$71.9 million from US$29.4 million, thanks to the increase in advertising revenues and Cheers e-Mall marketplace service revenue, primarily attributable to the development and promotion of its mobile and online businesses.
Income from operations surged 40.9% to US$16.2 million from US$11.5 million.
During the first half year of 2021, the company successfully grew its top and bottom lines as it allocated more resources to sales and marketing to augment its brand equity and fuel its long-term growth engine.
The company’s rising economy of scale will allow it to gradually reduce operating expenses and capitalize on the rising popularity of video content and deliver lasting shareholder value.
At the end of June 30, the number of downloads of the company’s Cheers App reached 215.6 million, up from 121 million a year earlier. The increase in the number, a key indicator of the attractiveness and usability of its Cheers App and its e-Mall platform traffic, showed that it had successfully converted viewers of its content to its Cheers App.
Average daily active users (DAUs) of the app grew to 7.1 million from 4.5 million for the same period. Stock Keeping Units (SKUs) on its Cheers e-Mall platform jumped to 231,630 from 19,984.
Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) of the Cheers App reached US$181.2 million in the first six months of this year, compared with US$20 million in the same period of 2020. The increase in GMV was driven significantly by its ability to attract and retain users to its Cheers App through its professionally produced content and its ability to further enhance its product offerings.
The company has a strong commitment to its corporate mission, meticulous execution of growth strategies, methodical expansion in both overseas and domestic markets, proactive engagement of Generation Z users through innovative products, and prudent investment in sales and marketing initiatives. It plans to refine its competitive edge in content-driven e-commerce of premium lifestyle, deepen our expertise in integrating quality content with lifestyle commerce, and expand our brand influence among Generation Z consumers on a global basis.
During the first half year, the resurgence of Covid-19 and its Delta variant caused the Chinese government to impose travel restrictions within mainland China, particularly in the southern regions of the country.
The company temporarily suspended the production of its traditional “Cheers Series” TV programs, thus resulting in a decline in its cost of revenues during the first six month of 2021. Once the travel restrictions are eased, the company will resume its content production activities in the second half of this year.
As of June 30, 2021, the company had cash and cash equivalents of US$20.3 million, compared with US$17.7 million at the end of last year.
Blockchain and AI technologies
Since its establishment in 2016, Glory Star has pioneered a unique, new business model integrating e-commerce services with premium video content. With the use of blockchain and AI technologies in its systems, the company has become a leading online digital media and entertainment company in China, with a strong track record both in terms of viewership and production capabilities. The company launched its Cheers App in 2018 to integrate e-commerce services with professionally generated content (PGC).
During the first half, the company produced many more live streaming shows and started to provide title sponsor advertising services at a higher price point. It also spent substantially on the development of the Cheers Chat and Cheers Car.
The company plans to provide more user-generated content (UGC) by forming partnerships with other platforms. It will allow global users to upload their content to its video platforms in the fourth quarter of this year while users will receive advertising revenue or get rewards from viewers directly.
The company will also allow content providers to use its software-as-a-service (SaaS) supply chain system with the blockchain technology that will help them match with relevant merchandisers. Content providers will be able to share the revenue from the sales of products on their video accounts.
The company’s ability to integrate premium lifestyle content, including short videos, online variety shows, online dramas, live streaming, its Cheers lifestyle video series, e-Mall, and mobile app, along with innovative e-commerce offerings on its platform enables it to pursue its mission of enriching people’s lives.
Its large and active user base has created valuable engagement opportunities with consumers and enhanced platform stickiness with thousands of domestic and international brands.
Non-fungible token
Glory Star’s Naschain platform offers one-stop solutions, which include smart contract, multichain universe and cross-chain consensus mechanisms, to users with its blockchain technology. It can help e-shoppers trace the origins of the products, avoid buying counterfeit goods, lower their logistics costs and protect their privacy.
The company has signed an agreement with the Beijing Minsheng Art Museum to use the company’s non-fungible token (NFT) technology, which can be used in copy-rights’ registration, verification, transaction and valuation, to protect the intellectual property of the museum’s artworks. The company will be able to boost its market share by acquiring some NFT service providers.

New proprietary grade family delivers up to 3x throughput improvement; company to showcase at ISME VIETNAM 2026 Booths 132-135
Loudi, China, 28th Apr 2026 – Hunan Tianyi High-tech Materials Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (“TianYi High-Tech”), a nationally recognized high-tech enterprise and national “Little Giant” specialized enterprise, announced the official launch of its TA Series — a new generation of cemented carbide roller rings engineered specifically for high-speed wire rod and bar rolling mills. The TA Series encompasses three specialized grades: TA30 for ultra-high-speed wire rod finishing blocks, TA40 for high-speed bar mills in the 12-16 mm range, and TA50 for high-speed bar mills in the 18-25 mm range — each delivering measurable gains in throughput, wear life, and thermal stability.
The announcement coincides with TianYi High-Tech’s participation at ISME VIETNAM 2026, where the company will present the TA Series live at Booths 132-135 at the Hanoi Metallurgy & Steel Exhibition. The event marks a significant milestone in TianYi High-Tech’s expansion strategy across Southeast Asia, with a presence spanning Vietnam, Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, South Korea, and Thailand.
A New Chapter in Roller Ring Performance
Modern rolling mills are under constant pressure to increase throughput without sacrificing product quality. TianYi High-Tech’s TA Series rises to this challenge through proprietary formulations and advanced hot-press sintering processes, achieving a rare combination of superior wear resistance, high hardness, and exceptional thermal stability.
TA30 — Wire Rod Finishing Mill
The TA30 is purpose-built for the finishing block of high-speed wire rod mills. Engineered to operate across the full wire rod rolling range of 5.5-20 mm, the TA30 delivers a step-change in mill productivity: plant trials have demonstrated throughput improvements of 1 to 3 times depending on mill configuration and operating parameters. The TA30 maintains consistent dimensional accuracy across extended rolling sequences, significantly reducing the frequency of roll changes and associated downtime.
The TA30 also performs with excellence in reducing mill configurations, making it one of the most versatile grades in its class for wire rod producers seeking to maximize output from existing assets.
TA40 — Bar Mill (12-16 mm)
The TA40 addresses the demanding requirements of bar mills rolling rebar and round bar in the 12-16 mm range. Optimized for high-speed continuous rolling, the TA40 delivers consistent groove geometry and surface finish over extended campaign lengths, directly translating into lower cost-per-ton for mill operators.
TA50 — Bar Mill (18-25 mm)
The TA50 is TianYi High-Tech’s premium solution for bar mills in the 18-25 mm segment. Built for heavy-duty, high-impact rolling conditions, the TA50 combines superior compressive strength with outstanding crack resistance, making it the grade of choice for mills demanding maximum durability and minimum unplanned maintenance.
Extended Specialty Steel Capability
All three TA Series grades are also validated for use across a broader spectrum of specialty and high-value steel grades, including:
High-strength Rebar Bars (HRB400E, HRB500E, HRB600E)
Plain Carbon Steel
Tire Cord Steel
Spring Steel
Bearing Steel
Alloy Steel
Cold Heading Steel
This versatility positions the TA Series as a comprehensive solution for mills producing both standard commodity products and demanding specialty alloys — a capability that sets TianYi High-Tech apart in an increasingly competitive global market.
Vertically Integrated Manufacturing: From Powder to Finished Ring
The TA Series is produced entirely within TianYi High-Tech’s own manufacturing facilities, encompassing the complete production chain: raw powder preparation, pressing, sintering, precision grinding, and quality inspection. This vertical integration gives TianYi High-Tech full control over every step of the process, enabling:
Tight tolerances on all critical dimensions
Consistent batch-to-batch quality through standardized process parameters
Full customization to meet specific mill configurations, rolling schedules, and steel grades
Complete supply chain traceability, from incoming raw materials to finished product
TianYi High-Tech’s quality management system is backed by comprehensive international certifications. Every TA Series roller ring undergoes rigorous mechanical property testing and dimensional inspection prior to dispatch, backed by a complete quality dossier — providing mill operators with full confidence in product performance from the first roll to the last.
Certification Scope
ISO 9001 Quality Management System
ISO 14001 Environmental Management System
ISO 45001 Occupational Health & Safety
AA-level CER Integration of Industrialization and Informatization
On the Ground in Southeast Asia: ISME VIETNAM 2026
As part of its commitment to serving Southeast Asian steel producers, TianYi High-Tech will participate in ISME VIETNAM 2026 — the region’s leading metallurgy and steel industry exhibition — presenting the TA Series at Booths 132-135 at the Hanoi Convention Center.
Vietnam has emerged as one of Southeast Asia’s fastest-growing steel markets, driven by aggressive investment in infrastructure, construction, and manufacturing capacity. Similar dynamics are accelerating demand across Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines. TianYi High-Tech’s presence at ISME VIETNAM 2026 reflects its strategic commitment to building long-term partnerships with rolling mill operators throughout the region.
Industry analysts estimate that Southeast Asia will account for a disproportionate share of global new steel capacity additions through 2030. As mills in the region upgrade to high-speed rolling technologies, the demand for high-performance cemented carbide roller rings — such as the TA Series — is expected to grow substantially.
Global Expansion: Serving 60+ Countries and Regions
TianYi High-Tech’s international footprint extends well beyond Southeast Asia. The company’s products are currently deployed in Russia, the United States, India, and more than 60 countries and regions worldwide, serving a diversified client base that includes leading steel producers and precision manufacturing enterprises. Domestically, TianYi High-Tech maintains long-standing partnerships with major steel groups including Shougang Group, Valin Steel, XiangTan Iron&Steel Group, Fangda Group, Sinosteel, BRC Rolls Ltd., MASTEEL etc.

Explora Books to Showcase My Sister My Twin at the 2026 Beijing International Book Fair
Explora Books will present Linda McClung’s My Sister My Twin at the 2026 Beijing International Book Fair, taking place June 17–21 at the CNCC in Beijing. The novel delivers a powerful, emotionally charged story of love, betrayal, and redemption, where survival becomes a journey toward healing the deepest wounds of the heart.
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 28th Apr 2026 – When a devastating diagnosis collides with a lifetime of sibling rivalry, two sisters are forced to confront the one bond they cannot escape—each other. Through the parallel trials of life-threatening leukemia and a harrowing abduction, McClung’s novel explores enduring themes of resilience, redemption, and emotional restoration.
Raised as fraternal twins in a household that often feels like a trio with their brother Mick, Kate and Alex grow up under constant comparison. Kate is defined as introspective with a photographic memory, while Alex is recognized for her athletic ability and beauty. These external labels shape their identities and fuel a quiet rivalry—until crisis forces them to shift from competitors for attention to allies fighting for survival.
At the heart of the story is the realization that unresolved resentment can become a burden that stifles growth. During her abduction and confinement, Kate comes to understand that her lingering pain is rooted in anger. This insight becomes a turning point, revealing that healing cannot begin without releasing the betrayals of the past. In doing so, the sisters are compelled to reimagine their relationship and become the support system each has long needed.
The novel also underscores the quiet power of selfless love. Kate’s anonymous donation of bone marrow to her sister—who once rejected her help—becomes a defining act of sacrifice, reframing love as a commitment to survival rather than recognition. This act forms a bridge toward emotional reconciliation between them.
Faith and prayer further anchor the characters in their most difficult moments. Whether Alex turns to Scripture during chemotherapy or Kate relies on memorized verses in captivity, spiritual conviction becomes a source of strength, stability, and endurance.
Beyond emotional and spiritual struggle, the novel highlights the resilience required to endure physical danger. Kate’s medical knowledge and sharp instincts become vital tools for survival as she navigates captivity and ultimately engineers her escape, showing that even in extreme circumstances, human resolve remains unbroken.
McClung’s My Sister My Twin is a compelling portrait of how fractured relationships and personal suffering can evolve into understanding, forgiveness, and renewal—revealing that even the deepest wounds within a family can become the beginning of healing.
At the 2026 Beijing International Book Fair, Explora Books will feature the title at its exhibition booth.
My Sister My Twin is also available through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other major retailers.
