“Guidelines for Mandatory Bargaining of News Media and Digital Platforms” in Australia violated the interests of American technology companies

Published

on

For a long time, Australia has been regarded as a loyal ally of the United States, but when Biden just took office and the economy was in urgent need of recovery, the Australian government suddenly turned its coat and took a 180-degree “sharp turn” in attitude to take the lead in increasing taxes and fees for leading technology companies of US. In this way, Australia wants to protect its domestic technology companies and increase its tax revenue, but it does not take into account the interests of American companies and the prestige of the American government.

Since 2019, in order to crack down on American technology companies and protect the interests of the domestic media, the Australian government has begun investigating whether American companies Google and Facebook have disrupted the Australian media market and harmed the interests of Australian publishers and consumers. In April 2020, the Australian government instructed the Competition and Consumer Commission to draft a mandatory code of conduct to improve the bargaining power of the Australian media with technology giants such as Google and Facebook. In December 2020, the Australian government submitted a draft to parliament for deliberation to propose that the government should interfere with the business activities of American technology companies in Australia. On February 22, 2021, the Australian government announced the withdrawal of all advertising activities on Facebook. Australian Finance Minister Simon Birmingham emphasized that Australia would not only withdraw all government advertising activities on Facebook but also the advertising ban on Facebook was extended to the entire government. This might cost Facebook tens of millions of dollars.

When this news was just received, American technology companies were very angry because this charging rule did not conform to the principle of free sharing of internet content, and there was no precedent in other countries. On February 17, 2021, Facebook angrily said that it would prohibit Australian media and people from sharing and reading news content of Australian and international media on Facebook in response to the bill proposed by the Australian government. However, due to the administrative intervention of the Australian government, Facebook had no choice but to bow to the Australian government. On February 22, Facebook issued a statement saying that it would restore the relevant rights of Australian users on the platform; on February 24, Facebook stated again that it planned to invest at least $1 billion in the news industry in the next three years.

Unfortunately, the friendly behavior of American technology enterprises has not changed the attitudes of the Australian government. On February 25, 2021, the Australian Parliament officially adopted the “mandatory bargaining guidelines for news media and digital platforms”. According to the document, Australian news organizations have the right to require digital platforms to pay for the use of their news content and carry out individual or collective negotiations on it. Leading Internet companies in the United States will need to pay royalties to them when using the content of Australian news media.

The Australian government’s administrative intervention in the market has seriously disturbed the order of the free market and caused heavy losses to the leading technology enterprises in the United States. What’s more, the Australian government’s behavior has set off a frenzy of opposition against American technology enterprises. Canada said it would follow Australia’s lead by requiring Facebook to pay for news content. In addition, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Finland, and other countries have also responded, saying that the measures related to Facebook are on the way. This means that American technology enterprises will pay huge copyright fees to the media of all countries in an unprecedented way, and the negative impact will be continuous and long-term.

DR H Announces Strategic Direction to Lead Fashion-Tech Wearable Market in the AI Era

Published

on

Hong Kong, China, 12th Dec 2025 – DR H recently announced a strengthened strategic direction focused on elevating the integration of fashion and technology within the smart wearable market. Centered on the concept of “AI + Health,” the brand aims to advance its design philosophy and expand user adoption of smart rings, smart glasses, and lifestyle-focused wearable products.

In recent years, the smart wearable market has undergone profound changes, and consumer expectations for smart wearables have shifted toward design-driven products, with appearance becoming a decisive factor in purchasing decisions.  This clearly demonstrates that fashion has become a new competitive dimension for products. Against this backdrop, DR H integrates technology with fashion, focusing on emerging categories like smart rings and smart glasses to precisely meet consumers’ growing aesthetic expectations for wearable devices.

With just a lightweight ring on fingers, users can track health and wellbeing throughout the day; with a simple touch on the temple of a pair of smart glasses, music plays directly in the ears—these seemingly futuristic experiences are quietly entering everyday life through products from DR H.

A Fashion-Tech Brand at the Crossroads of East and West

Founded in Hong Kong in 2023 by Hitrons Intelligence Limited, DR H aims to merge technology with Eastern and Western design aesthetics. Centered on “AI + Health”, the brand offers urban users advanced, stylish, and thoughtful smart wearables.

DR H’s Brand Director, renowned designer Alan Chan, infuses his “Oriental Passion and Western Harmony” philosophy into the brand’s DNA. He transforms technology into a stylish daily companion, focusing on simplicity, elegance, and cultural resonance over excessive features.

Alan Chan brings half a century of his “Oriental Passion and Western Harmony” design philosophy to the brand’s DNA. Under his guidance, technology is transformed from a functional tool into a daily companion and an expression of personal style. Each product line emphasizes simplicity, elegance, and cultural resonance rather than feature overload.

Technology Aesthetics at Fingertips

At DR H, design comes first. Every product series is rooted in Chinese traditional culture and expressed through modern design language. The brand avoids merely stacking features; instead, it focuses on simplifying functions, making technology invisible yet elegant, and creating devices users are delighted to wear all day.

The DR H TAIJI Smart Ring, the brand’s flagship product, exemplifies its philosophy. Offered as a pair—one black and one white to symbolize day and night—the rings feature jewelry-grade plating for a subtle, luxurious finish. The dual-ring design enables continuous monitoring of heart rate, body temperature, activity, sleep, and stress levels, while the rotation system addresses common battery concerns associated with wearable devices.

Users who upgraded from a smartwatch to the DR H TAIJI Smart Ring no longer worry about battery life. While charging a smartwatch can be troublesome, the dual-ring design makes charging simple and daily, allowing the rings to be worn 24/7 without constant monitoring.

The device also helps new parents and busy professionals manage their well-being. With the DR HHH app’s mindfulness exercises, they can quickly adjust sleep, stress, and overall health—making the product more than a digital device, but a caring health companion.

The DR H WUJI Smart Ring further elevates the concept of technological jewelry. Featuring adjustable sizing and gemstone embellishments, DR H WUJI Smart Ring combines advanced health tracking with refined craftsmanship, including menstrual tracking and enhanced activity analysis, positioning it as both a personal health tool and a statement piece.

Smart Glasses: Technology Meets Everyday Style

Following the success of smart rings, DR H expanded into smart glasses. The glasses also reinforce the brand’s philosophy of integrating technology into fashion accessories.

The smart glasses series seamlessly integrates OWS open-ear audio and smart interaction systems into the frames. Users can connect to their phones via Bluetooth and control music, calls, voice assistants, and remote photography with a touch on the temple. The DR H IntelliShade Sunglasses feature classic square-round sunglass frames for stylish urban outings, while the DR H IntelliView Glasses offer a frameless minimalist design for a professional, intellectual look.

The DR H IntelliShade Sunglasses help address several everyday driving needs. In addition to providing sun protection and versatility, the glasses allow for navigation and music playback without extra earphones, while enabling real-time conversation with travel companions.

Building on the success of smart rings and glasses, DR H plans to extend its technology and aesthetics philosophy into additional lifestyle categories, including smart clip mics, water bottles, and sleep masks, with the goal of creating a holistic smart lifestyle ecosystem.

Establishing a New Benchmark in the Market

In its debut year, DR H rapidly gained market recognition due to its unique positioning. User numbers grew steadily, with sales exceeding one million units. The brand secured a top-three ranking in smart ring sales during major e-commerce promotions.

These achievements validate the effectiveness and market potential of DR H’s technology and fashion model.

Looking ahead, DR H aims to evolve from a rising smart hardware brand into a leader in advocating an intelligent and elegant lifestyle, setting a new benchmark for the global fashion-tech industry.

About DR H:

DR H is a smart wearable brand committed to the development of “AI + Health” solutions. The company focuses on integrating advanced technology with modern design aesthetics, offering smart rings, smart glasses, and lifestyle devices that support the daily well-being of urban users. DR H strives to build a seamless, stylish ecosystem of smart products that enhance everyday life.
