We should cherish and protect the precious market confidence: Global Times editorial

BEIJING, Oct. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — How will China’s economy perform next? During the National Day holidays that just passed, observers both at home and abroad not only paid their attention on the popularity of holiday tourism, but also held unique expectations for China’s economic performance. A series of proactive measures since late September have stimulated market optimism and promoted the rapid warming of the stock and property markets. On the first day after the holidays, the State Council Information Office will hold a press conference to brief on the “systematic implementation of a package of incremental policies aimed at solidly promoting the upward structural improvement of the economy and the continued improvement of the development trend.” People can clearly feel that confidence in the Chinese economy is genuinely and steadily increasing.

In response to the surge in new account openings in the securities market during the National Day holidays, the Shanghai Stock Exchange announced it will extend the acceptance time for designated trading order instructions starting from October 8. With the intensive release of new real estate policies in many places, sales of commercial housing have increased significantly. “The coffee machine has reached the upper limit of cup output” at a housing sales office in Guangzhou; many overseas institutions, including Goldman Sachs, HSBC, and Citigroup, are optimistic about the positive impact of the policy on the market… “Exceeding expectations” has become a high-frequency phrase in many market research reports, which is actually reasonable. They once again confirm a significant judgment: The fundamentals of the Chinese economy and favorable conditions, such as a vast market, strong economic resilience and great potential, have not changed.

China’s economy has a solid and stable foundation, and the current trend of high-quality development runs deep. Although data such as stock market statistics, investment returns and consumer demand reflect relatively short-term and superficial conditions, they directly indicate confidence in the economy. The global economy has not yet emerged from its downturn, and geopolitical conflicts have further complicated the situation. International hot money has adopted a wait-and-see attitude, and the economic competition among major countries has, to some extent, become a tug of war of confidence centered around economic narratives. The immediate effects of this round of policy adjustments in specific areas demonstrate that we still have sufficient tools in our toolbox under the current circumstances. China remains one of the fastest growing, most stable and predictable major economies in the world.

Confidence is more precious than gold. After experiencing the impact of both internal and external complicated factors in recent years, people deeply feel the preciousness of confidence. How to maintain and further effectively enhance confidence remains a priority. We must realize that many problems cannot be solved overnight. In addition to fostering short-term confidence, we also need to build a solid foundation for long-term confidence. In fact, the recent rise in stock market enthusiasm is influenced by a certain degree of market conformity psychology, but more importantly, it reflects society’s expectation that the Chinese stock market can truly achieve a healthy “long bull” market. The steady pace of high-quality medium- to long-term development of the Chinese economy serves as the fundamental support for realizing the prospects of a “long bull” market. 

The fundamental goal of China’s development is to enable its people to live better lives. From crowded tourist attractions to the popularity of exchanging old consumer goods for new ones, these phenomena reflect the people’s pursuit of a better life. The rapid increase in confidence in economic growth in the short term is largely due to the policies introduced by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, which embody a “scenario-based” approach and respond to the public’s expectations for stabilizing the housing market and the stock market – stability in the housing market represents a scenario of “safe and happy living,” while stability in the stock market signifies a scenario of “profitable investment.” For various regions and departments, the next important step is to implement the decisions and deployments of the Central Committee of the CPC, further deepen the policies and measures that aim at stabilizing expectations and enhancing confidence, and promote a sustained recovery and improvement in the economy. As economic expectations continue to improve, market and investor confidence will be maintained.

The Chinese economy has shifted from a phase of rapid growth to a phase of high-quality development. This process itself will bring certain growing pains, but we have already seen more opportunities and broader prospects emerging on the new track. For example, the emerging economy represented by the “three news” – new industries, new business formats, and new business models – is continuously developing, and the formation of new quality productive forces is accelerating. This has become an important driving force for economic transformation and upgrading, as well as for enhancing economic vitality. In the new situation, we must prioritize action, unite our efforts, and solidly promote transformation and upgrading. By overcoming these challenges, China’s economy can steadily advance on the path of high-quality development.

Chinese people often say, “Every obstacle is difficult, but we will overcome each one; there are always more solutions than difficulties.” With the further strengthening of macro policies, and the optimization of the investment and business environment, a positive interaction between industrial upgrading and employment growth, as well as between financial investment and the real economy, will take shape. This will create a vibrant atmosphere for entrepreneurs and investors to engage in business and innovation. From 1979 to 2023, China’s average contribution to global economic growth has ranked first in the world. This story is far from over; the future will continue to be written. Believing in and investing in China is an investment in the future.

District-wide rollout brings project-based financial literacy and professional mentorship to Manhattan’s 50 public high schools, building on a successful pilot at Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis High School

NEW YORK, Oct. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Louis Hernandez Jr.’s Foundation For A Bright Future (“For A Bright Future,” “FABF”), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to expanding educational opportunity for underserved youth, today announced the district-wide expansion of its NextGen Finance Lab program into the Manhattan High School District. In partnership with the Manhattan High School District Team, under the supervision of Superintendent Gary Beidleman, FABF will launch the program’s first cohort of 8 high schools this fall, with plans to bring the NextGen Finance Lab to additional Manhattan high schools in the semesters that follow as part of a phased, district-wide rollout.

“At Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, we saw firsthand what this program can do. Our students left Pitch Like A Dragon more confident, more articulate, and more prepared to manage their own financial futures than I’ve seen from any other initiative we’ve run. I’m proud that the model our students and teachers helped build is now reaching classrooms across Manhattan,” said Manuel A. Ureña, Principal, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis High School.

The NextGen Finance Lab is a project-based financial literacy program that integrates the Dave Ramsey Financial Literacy curriculum with FABF’s FinTech mentorship ecosystem. Throughout the program, students build core skills in budgeting, saving, debt elimination, investing, and entrepreneurship, while working directly with FinTech industry professionals who share real-world perspective on banking, digital wallets, investing, and career pathways in financial technology. The program culminates in “Pitch Like A Dragon,” a school-level and district-level competition in which student teams pitch original business and FinTech concepts to a panel of industry leaders, venture capitalists, and New York City business professionals, with scholarship awards presented to top teams.

“This expansion is proof of what’s possible when a nonprofit, a school district, and industry partners commit to the same goal. Everything we’re scaling today started as a pilot at Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis High School, where educators and students helped shape the curriculum and the ‘Pitch Like A Dragon’ event structure now being adopted by seven more schools this fall. That’s how one school’s success becomes a lasting pathway for thousands of students across Manhattan,” said Gina Rogoto, SVP, Operations and Programs, For A Bright Future Foundation.”This expansion demonstrates the collective impact achievable through aligned partnerships. The model shaped at  Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis (JKO) High School now serves as a lasting foundation for advancing financial literacy for thousands of students across Manhattan,” said Gina Rogoto, SVP, Operations and Programs, FABF. The success at JKO High School, now fueling district‑wide deployment, was strengthened by the guidance of FABF’s Consultant in Academic Affairs and former Senior Deputy Chancellor of the NYC Department of Education, whose deep expertise helped shape a program adaptable to each school’s unique vision and academic priorities.

FABF and the Manhattan High School District Team have confirmed the following schools for the initial launch cohort:

Leadership and Public Service High SchoolJacqueline Kennedy Onassis High SchoolHigh School for Law and Public ServiceMurry Bergtraum High School for Business CareersHigh School of Fashion IndustriesHudson High School of Learning TechnologiesMott Hall High School: Finance Lab ProgramFood and Finance High School

FABF’s long-term goal is to bring the NextGen Finance Lab to all 50 high schools in the Manhattan District, expanding in phased cohorts over the coming semesters.

“As someone who spent a career in financial services, I know how much of a difference it makes when young people are exposed to these concepts early. This program doesn’t just teach students about money; it gives them the confidence to pitch real ideas, take feedback, and think like entrepreneurs,” said Benson Porter, Program Chairman, NextGen Finance Lab, FABF.

Voicebuds reinvent earbuds for personal voice computing, even below a whisper

SAN MATEO, Calif., Oct. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Subtle announced today that Voicebuds, its award-winning private voice computing device, is available to ship in time for the 2026 holiday season, with customers ordering by December 10th receiving their devices by December 24th.

Since Voicebuds were unveiled in January, AI voice dictation has surged in popularity, but the fundamental problems with voice input remain unsolved. Dictating aloud is awkward in open offices, offers little privacy in public spaces, and remains unreliable when others are speaking nearby.

With Voicebuds, Subtle has reinvented the earbud as a private voice interface that works even at a whisper. The device combines Subtle’s breakthrough voice isolation technology with an AI voice computing app for iPhone and Mac, enabling discreet, reliable voice computing in the places where people actually live and work. Voicebuds serve as both premium everyday earbuds for music and calls, and a personal computing device for voice dictation and AI. They are designed for voice productivity in crowded commutes, quiet libraries, noisy cafes, and shared spaces where traditional voice tools have always failed.

“It’s been inspiring to hear from our beta testers using Voicebuds to prompt AI in shared offices without booking a quiet booth, dictate on planes without bothering their seatmates, and take calls amid the noise and bustle of their daily lives,” said Tyler Chen, cofounder and CEO of Subtle. “We’re incredibly excited to put Voicebuds in the hands of all of our customers just in time for the holidays and hear what new use cases they come up with.”

In Subtle’s internal testing across real-world noise environments, Voicebuds delivered up to 5X fewer transcription errors than AirPods Pro 3 combined with leading AI dictation software.

Voicebuds offer:

Subtle voice dictation: Write with voice in any app on iPhone and Mac, without being overheard.Voice notes: Capture thoughts and ideas instantly, and access them across multiple devices.Contextual AI chat: Brainstorm with an AI assistant, without being overheard.Music and calls: Everyday listening, noise cancellation, multipair connectivity and clear calls.

For holiday shoppers, Voicebuds replace multiple devices and apps as a single product for listening, communication, and voice computing that finally works in the real world.

Voicebuds are available starting today for $249 in either Parchment White or Ink Black. Voicebuds ship with a 1-year membership to the Subtle app for iPhone and Mac, providing a complete voice productivity experience across dictation, contextual AI chat, and cross-device voice notes. After year one, users can continue the full Subtle Pro membership for $17 per month, or switch to the free tier anytime with full earbud functionality and limited AI usage.

Customers can order now at subtle.co.

About Subtle

Subtle is pioneering personal voice computing technology, designed to make voice the most effective, trusted interface anywhere.
