阻止病毒爆发的100天使命

2026 年 5 月 18 日，刚果民主共和国戈马市凯谢罗医院入口处设有洗手和体温检测检查点，所有访客和患者均须在此接受消毒。图为一名访客在入院前进行手部清洁。此举是埃博拉预防措施的一部分。摄影：Jospin Mwisha/AFP，Getty Images(SeaPRwire) - 目前全球至少有两个重大病毒疫情正在蔓延：一是安第斯汉坦病毒暴发事件，最初发生在邮轮上，目前已涉及 20 多个国家的民众；二是刚果民主共和国（DRC）爆发的埃博拉邦巴焦型埃博拉疫情，该疫情近期才被宣布，但已造成 131 人死亡，并至少跨越了一个国境线。这两种罕见疾病的变种目前尚无疫苗可预防。全球卫生专家警告称，世界对当前已存在的威胁准备不足。我们是否能为未来可能出现的任何新疫情做好准备？这个问题正是“流行病防范创新联盟”（CEPI）所关注的核心。CEPI 由各国政府、制药公司和基金会组成，于 5 月 19 日在日内瓦举行的第 79 届世界卫生大会期间召开了一次重要会议。CEPI 主席简·哈尔顿在会上表示：“我们现在有机会，更可以说是有责任，来改变接下来发生的事情。”她向在场的每一位与会者——包括各个组织及其所属政府发出呼吁。“今天的威胁已经存在。因此，让我们携手共建一个未来，确保下一个可能引发大流行的病毒疫情能够遇到充分准备的系统。”CEPI 成立于 2017 年。当时一场持续了数年的埃博拉疫情导致超过 1 万人死亡。尽管全球遭受了数十亿美元的损失，并带来无法估量的人道主义灾难，但一种极为有效的疫苗的研发进程却十分缓慢。当该疫苗最终完成测试并开始生产部署时，疫情已持续肆虐一年之久，给生命和经济造成了巨大破坏。CEPI 的成立旨在防止此类悲剧在未来重演，其策略是在疫情爆发前就提前做好充分准备。“百日行动”使命2021 年，CEPI 启动了“百日行动”计划，目标是建立一个能够在病原体基因组测序完成后 100 天内提供疫苗的基础设施。CEPI 副总裁奥雷莉亚·阮表示，在应对新冠疫情时，人类以创纪录的速度在 326 天内研发出有效疫苗，但这一速度仍不足以阻止病毒在全球传播并造成严重痛苦与困难。例如，如果在 SARS-CoV-2 出现后 100 天内开发出疫苗，CEPI 估算可以挽救超过 800 万人的生命。该计划的第一步是加强对最有可能引发危险疫情的病原体家族的研究，其中包括埃博拉病毒。此外，还需要对疫苗开发流程进行全面压力测试，既包括利用 mRNA 技术（如新冠疫苗中使用的技术），也包括传统方法，例如使用灭活病毒训练免疫系统识别威胁。同时，必须在紧急情况发生之前就已具备运行中的疫苗生产基地。2025 年，CEPI 合作伙伴之一 Moderna 在英国牛津郡开设了 mRNA 疫苗制造工厂，该厂将为英国生产呼吸道病毒疫苗，同时也随时准备在今后大流行中投入使用。其理念在于：当这种被称为 “X 疾病”（Disease X）的神秘病原体突然爆发后，疫苗的所有模块化组件都将准备就绪，相关工厂也已待命生产。届时所需的一切只是病原体本身以及确定疫苗应针对其哪一部分结构进行攻击。为此，CEPI 提出需要筹集 25 亿美元资金。“这不是一个抽象数字，而是我们的联盟推进合作与投资所需的实际投入，这是为了全人类。”哈尔顿说道。“这将帮助我们建立保护每个社会人民生命和经济的能力。”在会议期间，新加坡卫生部部长翁义刚宣布，该国将在未来四年内向 CEPI 承诺提供 1200 万美元。欧洲委员会卫生应急准备与反应局总干事弗洛里卡·芬克-胡耶勒透露，欧盟将在未来两年内出资近 7400 万欧元。“对我们来说这也是很大一笔钱，”她说。比尔及梅琳达·盖茨基金会全球发展事务总裁克里斯·埃利斯表示，该机构将继续为 CEPI 提供财政支持。（美国代表未出席此次会议。）尽管这些金额看似庞大，但仍只是所需资金的一小部分。哈尔顿将各国承诺称为“投资”，并将参与国称为“投资者”，这反映出公共卫生领域日益普遍的语言转变。“大家注意到了我没有使用‘捐助者’这个词——我有一个‘禁用词储蓄罐’专门记录这类词汇。”她补充说：“你们可以看出，我没有使用‘捐助者’一词——我为此还设了个‘禁词储蓄罐’。”她强调：“每个人都正在为这种集体安全作出投资，房间里的每一位政治领袖都是如此。”吸取新冠疫情的经验教训汉坦病毒和埃博拉疫情如今正牵动全球公共卫生领导者的心弦。非洲疾控中心副主任拉吉·塔朱丁指出，该机构负责人已于昨日离开日内瓦返回家乡，“他昨天已返回 DRC 协助控制当地疫情。”虽然这两种病毒并不具备 SARS-CoV-2 那样强大的大流行潜力，但目前对这两场疫情的整体应对措施表明，人们依然清楚地记得 2020 年新冠疫情刚暴发时那种措手不及的感觉。“新冠疫情让世界深刻认识到缺乏准备的代价有多惨重。”哈尔顿说。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

Your Go-To Travel Checklist for Smarter, Reward-Focused Travel Planning

SINGAPORE, May 15, 2026 - (ACN Newswire) - Travel goals often begin as ideas scribbled in a notebook or saved Instagram posts but turning them into real experiences can take thoughtful planning. One practical way travellers in Singapore explore these goals is by understanding how Travel Credit Cards can fit into their overall travel checklist. When used mindfully, the right card rewards can help reduce travel-related expenses and make trips feel more achievable. From flights and accommodation to daily spending abroad, a structured approach can help travellers make the most of what they already spend. This checklist is designed to help review travel plans and see how card rewards can support those goals in a realistic, manageable way. Define Your Travel Goals Clearly Clear travel goals provide direction and make planning feel less overwhelming. Instead of a vague plan to "travel more," it helps to identify destinations, timelines, and travel styles. For instance, a short regional trip to Bangkok or Bali may involve different costs and priorities compared to a longer holiday to Europe or Australia. In Singapore, a return flight within Southeast Asia can range between SGD 200 and SGD 500, while long-haul flights may cross SGD 1,200. Understand How Travel Rewards Fit Into Your Plans Travel rewards work best when they match existing spending patterns rather than forcing new habits. Many Travel Credit Cards in Singapore offer reward points or miles on everyday categories, such as dining, online shopping, and transport. Over time, these points can help offset flight bookings or hotel stays. This makes it easier to assess how everyday spending may contribute to future travel plans. Track Your Expenses and Reward Potential Tracking spending is an important part of reviewing how realistic travel goals are. Monthly expenses, such as groceries, utilities, and subscriptions, often total between SGD 1,500 and SGD 2,500 for many households in Singapore. When these expenses are channelled through cards offering travel rewards, points can accumulate gradually. Keeping a simple monthly record can also highlight which categories generate the most rewards. Check Reward Redemption Options and Flexibility Not all rewards work the same way, so you should review redemption options. Some cards allow points to be converted into airline miles, while others offer travel vouchers or statement credits for travel bookings. Flexibility matters, especially for travellers who prefer multiple airlines or travel dates. Understanding the terms and conditions of rewards also helps clarify what is actually usable for your plans. Review Travel-Related Benefits Beyond Rewards Many Travel Credit Cards come with additional benefits, such as airport lounge access, travel insurance coverage, or discounts on hotel bookings. For example, complimentary lounge access at Changi Airport can help reduce pre-flight expenses, where meals alone may cost SGD 20-40. These features may be useful for travellers who value comfort and convenience alongside rewards. Plan for Overseas Spending and Currency Costs Overseas spending is an important part of any travel checklist, especially when travelling frequently. Foreign currency fees often range between 2.5% and 3.5% per transaction, which can add up quickly on longer trips. Some travel-focused cards offer lower foreign currency fees or bonus rewards for overseas spending. This is worth reviewing before choosing a card for regular use abroad. Review Annual Fees Against Real Value Annual fees are an important consideration when reviewing travel-related cards. In Singapore, annual fees for Travel Credit Cards can range from SGD 150 to SGD 500. While higher-fee cards often come with more generous rewards or perks, the value depends on individual travel frequency. A traveller taking one or two trips a year may find sufficient value in mid-range options. Reviewing fee waivers, renewal bonuses, and reward redemption potential can give a clearer picture of overall value. Turning Plans Into Meaningful Travel Experiences Travel planning does not have to feel complicated or financially overwhelming. With a clear checklist and realistic expectations, travellers in Singapore can review how everyday spending aligns with their travel goals. Travel Credit Cards, when chosen thoughtfully, can help make trips more accessible by offsetting certain costs and adding convenience. The key lies in understanding rewards, tracking progress, and revisiting goals regularly. Disclaimer: This content is published by iQuanti Singapore Pte.

2026年5月19日当前油价

(SeaPRwire) - 截至今日东部时间上午 9:20，原油价格为每桶 112.93 美元，我们稍后会解释布伦特基准。与昨天上午相比上涨了 2.85 美元，与一年前相比上涨了约 47 美元。原油价格（每桶）涨幅（%）昨天的油价110.08 美元+2.58%一个月前的油价93.27 美元+21.07%一年前的油价65.77 美元+71.70% 油价会上涨吗？没有人能确定油价下一步将走向何方。许多因素塑造着市场——但核心仍是供需关系。当诸如潜在经济衰退或战争等风险加剧时，油价可能会迅速转向。油价如何影响加油站的价格你在加油站购买的汽油价格不仅包含原油成本，还包括整个供应链的各个环节费用：炼油厂、批发商、税收以及当地加油站的加价。尽管如此，原油价格对最终售价的影响最大，通常占每加仑价格的半数以上。当油价飙升时，汽油价格往往随之上涨。但当油价下跌时，汽油价格通常会缓慢下降——这种现象有时被称为“火箭与羽毛效应”。美国战略石油储备的作用在紧急情况下，美国拥有名为“战略石油储备”的备用原油供应。它主要用于危机时期保障能源安全，例如制裁、严重风暴破坏甚至战争。它还能在供应冲击导致油价飙升时起到缓冲作用。但它并非用于解决长期问题。相反，它为消费者提供快速缓解，并帮助维持关键经济部门运转，如基础工业、紧急服务和公共交通。原油与天然气价格的关系原油和天然气是全球主要的两种能源。原油价格的重大变动可能间接影响天然气价格。例如，如果油价上涨，某些行业可能会在可能的情况下用天然气替代原油用于部分运营环节，从而推高天然气需求。原油的历史表现在分析原油表现时，有两个主要基准脱颖而出：布伦特原油是全球最主要的原油基准。西德克萨斯中质原油（WTI）是北美地区的主要基准。在这两者中，由于布伦特定价的是全球大部分交易的原油，因此更能反映全球原油走势。它也是追踪原油历史趋势的首选指标。事实上，美国能源信息署现在已将布伦特作为其《年度能源展望》中的主要参考依据。若回顾过去几十年布伦特基准的表现，你会发现原油价格远非稳定。它与战争和供应削减相关联时出现急剧上涨，也因全球经济衰退和供过于求（即“过剩”）而大幅下跌。例如： 20 世纪 70 年代初发生了第一次重大石油危机：中东削减出口并在赎罪日战争期间对美国和其他国家实施禁运。 20 世纪 80 年代中期，由于需求减少和非 OPEC 产油国涌入市场，价格下跌。 2008 年，随着全球需求增长，价格上涨，但随后因全球金融危机而暴跌。 2020 年新冠疫情封锁期间，原油需求创下历史新低，价格一度跌破每桶 20 美元。简而言之，原油的历史表现绝非一帆风顺。它深受战争、经济衰退、OPEC 政策变化、能源政策调整等多种因素影响。能源领域报道想了解最新的能源动态？请查看我们近期的报道：高油价只是开始：伊朗战争正在改变全球能源格局 NextEra 以 670 亿美元收购 Dominion 缔造全球最大公用事业公司瑞安航空 CFO 表示公司已为“末日情境”做好准备常见问题解答当前每桶原油的实际价格是如何确定的？当前原油价格主要取决于供需关系，包括对未来供应和需求的预期（地缘政治、OPEC+ 决策等）。在美国，价格还受到政府对待钻探政策的影响，因为这会影响未来的供应。例如，2025 年特朗普政府宣布重新开放阿拉斯加国家野生动物保护区沿海平原超过 150 万英亩的土地用于油气租赁，逆转了拜登政府的限制政策。一天之内油价多久变化一次？当“期货”市场开放时，油价会持续更新。期货市场本质上是买卖双方约定在未来购买或出售原油的拍卖机制。只要人们和企业仍在交易合约，油价就会不断波动。美国页岩油产量如何影响当前油价？简单来说，页岩是一种含有石油和天然气的岩石。你可以将其视为尚未开采的能源。美国能够开采的页岩越多，可用的能源就越多，也就越容易通过增加供应来抑制油价过度飙升。当前油价如何影响通胀及整体经济？油价高昂通常会导致日常物品价格上涨。这不仅涉及能源本身（供暖、天然气等），还涉及将这些商品送到你手中的物流成本。例如，运输成本会影响超市商品价格，因为从仓库和农场将产品运上货架的成本更高。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

EN_【Press Release】China XLX Announces 2026 Q1 Results

EQS Newswire / 17/05/2026 / 14:04 UTC+8 Press Release (For immediate release) China XLX’s Net Profit Surged by 68.7% YoY in Q1 2026 Simultaneous growth in sales volume and selling price of core products driven by optimised product mix and accelerated transformation and innovation of marketing model Q1 2026 Results Highlights: Revenue grew by 16.7% YoY to approximately RMB 6.82 billion. Net profit surged by 68.7% YoY to approximately RMB 421 million and profit attributable to owners of the parent company climbed by 51.7% YoY to approximately RMB 300 million, The economies of scale became increasingly evident as new capacity came on stream in an orderly manner. Overall gross profit grew by 53.2% YoY to approximately RMB 1.28 billion. Investment pace was precisely managed, with the ratio of long-term to short-term debt staying at 8:2 and short-term loans decreasing by 9% YoY. (17 May 2026, Hong Kong) China XLX Fertiliser Ltd. (“China XLX” or the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries collectively referred to as the “Group”) (stock code: 01866.HK) announced that the Group’s revenue for the quarter ended 31 March 2026 grew by 16.7% year-on-year to approximately RMB 6.82 billion. Net profit for the period surged by 68.7% year-on-year to approximately RMB 421 million and net profit attributable to owners of the parent company climbed by 51.7% year-on-year to approximately RMB 300 million. During the period under review, the overall operating environment of the fertiliser industry steadily improved amid strong agricultural demand and favorable raw material costs. The Group capitalised on the opportunities emerging in the market to ramp up R&D of differentiated high-efficiency fertilisers, optimise the product mix and increase the proportion of high value-added products in overall production and sales, leading to steady growth in average selling prices of products. Meanwhile, it accelerated the transformation and innovation of marketing model, made continuing efforts to expand both of domestic and international sales channels, and seized global trade opportunities to boost the export of chemical products. As a result, the sales volumes of core products grew in tandem with selling prices. With the successful commissioning of the Jiujiang Phase II Project, the Group’s new capacity came on stream in an orderly manner. As the economies of scale became increasingly evident, unit production costs further reduced and resulted in 53.2% year-on-year growth in overall gross profit to approximately RMB 1.28 billion. These achievements laid a solid foundation for the improvement in the Group’s financial results. In the first quarter of this year, revenue from urea sales increased by 27.6% year-on-year to approximately RMB 1.96 billion. The commencement of operation of the Jiujiang Phase II Project drove the robust growth in urea output from the previous year with the urea sales volume increased by 21.4% year-on-year for the period. As downstream customers stocked up in advance, the inventories reduced by 19% year-on-year, hence lending strong support to urea price hikes. At the same time, the Group further optimised the product mix and increased the sales proportion of high-efficiency urea with higher margins. As a result, the average selling price of urea increased by 5.2% year-on-year. Moreover, the commissioning of the Jiujiang Phase II Project lowered the fixed cost per tonne coupled with roughly 9% reduction in feedstock costs, the gross profit margin of urea for the period climbed by 10 percentage points year-on-year to 27%. During the review period, revenue from compound fertiliser sales amounted to approximately RMB 1.69 billion, up by 8.7% year-on-year. With the successful implementation of marketing transformation strategy, the Group’s marketing network for compound fertilisers expanded to all 31 provincial-level administrative regions across China. While approximately 7,000 new exclusive distributors were added, the coverage rate of the Group’s sales network reached 91%. In addition, existing distributors delivered steady business growth. As a result, the sales volume of compound fertilisers for the period saw 8.2% year-on-year growth. Because the proportion of ordinary fertiliser sales was seasonally higher in the first quarter and the market supply was largely balanced, the average selling price of compound fertilisers for the period remained stable. Nevertheless, as the tight supply of potash and phosphate fertilisers drove up the feedstock costs, the gross profit margin of compound fertilisers slightly retreated by 1.9 percentage points year-on-year to 12%. During the peak period of project investment, the Group will precisely control the investment pace and balance capital expenditures with financial risks to ensure stable cash flow. Its overall leverage remains controllable with a well-structured debt profile. All key financial indicators remain strong and keep on improving. As of the end of the period under review, the Group’s debt-to-asset ratio was 67.9%, slightly up by 1.9 percentage points from the beginning of the period. The ratio of long-term to short-term debt stayed at 8:2 and short-term loans decreased by 9% year-on-year, hence freeing up approximately RMB 1.4 billion in working capital. The average interest rate on new loans for the period decreased by 0.18 percentage points from the previous year and was maintained within 2.86%. As for the project development, the new chemical material project at the Xinjiang Production Base commenced the trial run with all indicators performing well. The urea production facility with annual capacity of 700,000 tonnes is scheduled to put into operation in the second quarter of this year. The development of the Zhundong Project (Phase I) is progressing as planned and it is slated to commence operation by the end of this year. The Guangxi Project (Phase I) is expected to put into production in the third quarter of next year. This project is aimed at addressing the capacity shortage of new nitrogenous fertilisers in Guangdong and Guangxi. With an easy access to the Pinglu Canal, it will enhance the transport efficiency at lower costs and will enable the Group to effectively expand into the Southeast Asia market. Looking ahead into the second quarter, Mr. Liu Xingxu, Chairman of China XLX, said: Underpinned by the peak planting season, domestic urea prices are expected to remain firm and stable in general. However, due to ample supply and other factors, there is limited room for further price increases. If the export controls are relaxed after the spring planting season, urea prices may see periodic price fluctuations. Meanwhile, coal-based producers are poised to benefit from geopolitical conflicts and the competitive landscape in the industry will continue to improve. Facing a complex market environment, the Group will reinforce its competitive edges through technological innovation, production iteration, marketing model transformation, the promotion of digital intelligence transformation and green low-carbon high-quality development. ~ END ~ About China XLX Fertiliser Ltd.

斯蒂芬·科尔伯特让人类生存的艰难变得可承受

2019年5月10日，斯蒂芬·科尔伯特采访基努·里维斯。——CBS照片档案——盖蒂图片社(SeaPRwire) - 2021年5月21日，当斯蒂芬·科尔伯特录制《深夜秀》最后一期节目时，他将走下舞台，完成了一项无人充分认可他的成就：让谈论人生中最艰难的部分变得正常。我于2005年开始为《科尔伯特报告》担任撰稿人研究员。几个月前，母亲打电话给我说：“贝克，我听说斯蒂芬·科尔伯特今天在《新鲜空气》节目中露面了。他即将拥有自己的节目。你应该为他工作。”我们都意识到科尔伯特确实很有趣。但真正吸引人、而我们当时无法准确表达的是，他有一种方式，能让嘉宾展现出人性的完整面貌。令我惊讶的是，我得到了这份工作。在我们暑假结束前的最后一个晚上，我的母亲在距演播室40英里的地方因车祸去世。我的生活从此一分为二。几周后回到工作岗位，我发现自己试图淡化悲伤，吸收它并继续前行。并不是因为有人要求这样做（许多同事在葬礼上乘坐一辆超大的白色租用车）。而是因为周围的文化没有为如何哀悼或在哪里为失去留出空间提供合适的语言。如今《深夜秀》即将结束，我不断思考科尔伯特拒绝这种期望是多么不寻常。他在美国最主流的舞台之一上创造了一些时刻，让艰难的人类体验不再被包装成更容易接受的东西，也不会被整理得井井有条。这些体验就那样存在，未得到解决，呈现在数百万观众面前。就拿2021年与演员安德鲁·加菲尔德的病毒式访谈为例，他坦率地谈到了对母亲的思念，并希望保持这种悲伤，因为他认为这是他对母亲仍然未表达的爱。或者科尔伯特与安德森·库珀的多次对话，他们以毫不匆忙的方式反思了库珀父母的离世。2019年，基努·里维斯在回答科尔伯特关于自己死后会怎样的简单问题时，只是表示爱他的人很可能会非常想念他。科尔伯特本人也经常提到童年时期父亲和兄弟在一场飞机失事中去世，以及母亲离世带来的伤痛。2024年，科尔伯特向 longtime助理艾米·科尔致以最诚挚的敬意，她深受我们大家的喜爱。这些时刻并未得到解决。它们不会顺利回到宣传或笑点。它们只是存在，常常夹在诸如“这就是耶特戴克在时尚界大放异彩！”或借助起重机吃麦片的荒诞片段之间。目的不是将悲伤提升为某种神圣的事物。而是让它与其他一切并存。尽管我们一直在谈论真实性，但电视仍然难以承载那些艰难的人类体验，除非这些体验可以被塑造成易于理解的形式。通常情况下，悲伤被压缩成一个起源故事、教训或转折点。或者它被保留在集体灾难的时刻。在其他任何地方，它都被视为需要删减的内容。母亲去世时，我还没有语言来描述所发生的一切。我只知道世界感觉不同了。然而，在为科尔伯特工作，并在他播出多年后观看他的节目，我逐渐领悟到一些东西。失去不必隐藏才能得以幸存。谈论它并不会削弱你。相反，它加深了你对他人的理解。如果你能以恰当的节奏和温暖的方式进行，人们不会因此逃之夭夭。你甚至可能因此获得艾美奖。近年来，越来越多的空间开始为关于悲伤的坦诚对话提供场所。安德森·库珀的播客《All There Is》邀请人们进行深入、不加掩饰的损失讨论。马克·马龙主持的《WTF》播客多年来一直如此。还有各种通讯、在线社区、#grieftok标签和支持网络——其中许多都非常周到、细致入微，并且极其必要。但它们都有一个共同特点：你必须主动去寻找它们。我们正处在一个媒体日益碎片化的时代，越来越少的地方能将大量受众聚集在同一场对话中。深夜电视节目仍然是其中之一。科尔伯特利用自己的平台，不仅评论政治和文化，还拓展了在那里可以谈论的内容。在他去年获得艾美奖“杰出谈话类节目”奖项的获奖感言中，科尔伯特分享道，他原本打算制作一档关于爱的深夜秀，但后来意识到“我们正在做一档关于损失的深夜喜剧节目。这与爱有关，因为有时候只有在感觉到可能会失去某样东西时，你才能真正明白你有多爱它。”在科尔伯特数十年的深夜电视节目生涯中，他展示了爱与损失是不可分割的。随着他离开，电视制作人面临着选择：我们是创造空间来容纳那些困难而痛苦的事物？还是将这些对话重新推向边缘，即使这些对话塑造了我们每个人的生活？本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。
