As scams grow more sophisticated and difficult to detect, keeping people safe takes more than technology alone – it also requires education. Today, we’re sharing progress on our “One Step Ahead” anti-scam education campaign designed to help people across Asia-Pacific take simple, practical steps to protect their accounts and know where to turn for help when they encounter a potential scam. The campaign was designed alongside more than 25 local safety organizations, law enforcement and government agencies across the region, and rolled out across Facebook and Instagram with three simple principles at its core: 1) safety advice should be practical, 2) easy to act on, and 3) come from a source people trust. Since launching in May 2026, the campaign has reached more than 303 million people across 18 countries, delivering over 1.3 billion impressions and more than 1.2 million link clicks — one of the largest online-safety education efforts Meta has run in the region. The campaign promotes security tools available on Meta apps that people can use to increase their online safety: Two-factor authentication adds a second check at login, so a stolen password isn’t enough to get in. Passkeys let people sign in with the fingerprint, face or PIN they already use – passkeys can’t be stolen, shared, guessed or reused. Security Checkup walks people through strengthening their Facebook account in minutes. Privacy Checkup keeps people in control of who can see, message and connect with them. WhatsApp’s Linked Device Warning alerts users when it detects a suspicious login attempt, an unauthorized web client, or a potential account-linking scam. WhatsApp group settings allow you to adjust group privacy settings to choose who can add you to WhatsApp groups. Partnering with the people communities already trust Collaboration is key in tackling scams and educating people on how to be safe online. Working with respected local partners lets us extend our reach, reinforce credibility, and make sure people know how to access local anti-scam resources. Through the campaign’s “Know Your Local Resources” element – which alone reached more than 27.4 million people across 14 markets – people are connected directly to trusted organizations in their own country for reporting tools and support. See below for a full list of partner organizations. What’s next The “One Step Ahead” campaign will continue throughout 2026, with new tools and locally tailored resources rolling out across the region and more partnerships on the way. We’re committed to supporting people beyond a single campaign: scammers keep evolving, and staying one step ahead is work that’s never truly finished. People can explore how to protect their accounts at Meta’s Scam Protection Center.

HONG KONG, Sept 29, 2026 - As global AI model infrastructure investment enters a boom phase, and with continued penetration of edge AI and vehicle electrification and smart features, the printed circuit board (PCB) industry is benefiting from both technology upgrading and value chain re-rating. Riding this industry tailwind, Shenzhen Kinwong Electronic Co., Ltd. (“Kinwong” or the “Company”, 3228.HK), a leading global PCB manufacturer, officially listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on September 29, 2026, completing its “A+H” dual listing platform.
The prospectus lays out a clear “1+1+N” business structure: telecommunications and data infrastructure (including AI compute) as the new growth driver, complemented by high-potential segments including smart devices and industrial control, with industry-leading automotive electronics as the stable base, forging a path of sustainable, high-quality growth.
Seizing the AI Compute Boom: AI Core Business Begins to Deliver
As one of the few manufacturers supplying PCB to global leading AI computing infrastructure companies, Kinwong is leveraging its first-mover advantage to translate infrastructure tailwinds into strong financial results. According to the prospectus, in the first four months of 2026, revenue from AI-related PCBs reached RMB268 million — a four-month value already about 35.1% above the full-year 2025 total, lifting its share of total revenue to 5.0%. Driven by AI compute demand, revenue from the telecommunications and data infrastructure segment surged from RMB772 million in 2023 to RMB1.591 billion in 2025, doubling in two years. In the first four months of 2026, this segment accounted for 15.6% of total revenue, becoming the key engine of overall growth.
Years of investment in high-end process technology are now paying off. As early as 2019, Kinwong proactively built production bases for high-layer-count (HLC) PCBs and high-end HDI PCBs. Today, the Company has achieved mass production of AI compute-related products, including HLC PCBs with over 40 layers, 6-build-up 22-layer HDI PCBs, 14-layer HDI PCBs using the mSAP process, and multilayer PTFE flexible PCBs. The Company has established manufacturing capability for HLC PCBs above 70 layers and 9-build-up 28-layer HDI PCBs. In addition, customer certification has commenced for 11-build-up HDI PCBs. Notably, the 9-build-up 28-layer HDI PCB completed customer qualification in only 90 days, demonstrating both product reliability and fast ramp-up speed.
Expanding into Edge AI: Full-Spectrum Hardware Plays
Beyond cloud computing and its established automotive business, Kinwong is capitalizing on the edge AI trend, extending the “N” in its “1+1+N” strategy to mid- and high-end hardware across humanoid robots, drones and industrial automation, positioning early to capture the device upgrade cycle. The Company has a strong consumer electronics customer base, serving seven of the world’s top ten smartphone brands. As edge AI drives higher hardware specifications, demand for value-added products such as HDI and rigid-flex PCBs is rising, opening up sustainable growth avenues.
Driven by synergies across all segments, Kinwong’s overall performance has grown steadily. Per the prospectus, revenue reached RMB10.757 billion, RMB12.659 billion and RMB15.308 billion in 2023, 2024 and 2025, while profit for the year came in at RMB911 million, RMB1.160 billion and RMB1.244 billion respectively — three consecutive years of steady growth on both top and bottom lines. In the first four months of 2026, revenue hit RMB5.341 billion, showing continued scale expansion and strong through-cycle resilience.
Automotive Electronics Anchors the Stable Cash Base: Funding AI Compute Expansion
Developing and scaling high-end AI compute PCBs requires substantial and sustained capital expenditure and R&D spending. Kinwong’s solid position in global automotive electronics PCB gives it resilience and steady cash flow, providing a stable financial base for expanding into the high-barrier AI compute market. According to CIC, based on 2025 revenue, Kinwong was the world’s largest automotive electronics PCB supplier with 10.6% market share, and ranked 11th among overall PCB manufacturers globally with 2.5% share.
Eight of the world’s top ten Tier 1 automotive suppliers are core Kinwong customers, and its PCBs are used across products from all top ten global automakers, reflecting strong customer moats and high business visibility. The Company’s operations provide a stable cash-generative base that, together with the IPO proceeds and debt financing, supports high-end capacity build-out, including the Zhuhai Jinwan base, creating a reinforcing cycle: mature businesses generate cash, emerging businesses drive growth.

HONG KONG, Sept 28, 2026 - The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) has substantially revised upward its forecast for Hong Kong's merchandise export growth in 2026 to 42%-47%, following significantly stronger-than-expected global demand for artificial intelligence (AI)-related technologies, prompting a major upgrade to the trade outlook. Meanwhile, the latest HKTDC Export Confidence Index (3Q26) indicates that exporter sentiment remains broadly positive despite ongoing geopolitical uncertainties. The Current Performance Index stood at 51.8, while the Expectation Index registered 51.3, with both remaining above the neutral 50-point threshold.
HKTDC Director of Research Bruce Pang (left), Deputy Director of Research Wing Chu (centre) and Section Head of Special Project & Business Advisory Kenneth Lee (right) announced the latest Hong Kong’s export outlook for 2026 and HKTDC Export Confidence Index for the third quarter of the year at a press conference today.
AI-driven electronics exceed expectations
Commenting on the export outlook, HKTDC Director of Research, Bruce Pang, said: "The strong Hong Kong export growth recorded this year has been driven primarily by the rapid acceleration of global demand for AI-related products and infrastructure. Demand for semiconductors, memory chips, computer components, telecommunications equipment and other advanced electronics expanded much faster than expected, providing substantial support to Hong Kong's exports."
HKTDC Director of Research Bruce Pang
Electronics remained the dominant growth engine, accounting for approximately 80% of Hong Kong's total exports in the first eight months of 2026. Exports of electronics rose by 52.8% year-on-year, significantly outpacing overall export growth. Major markets included the Chinese Mainland, ASEAN and the US, reflecting strong demand across global technology supply chains.
Particularly notable was the strong performance of items related to growing investments in AI infrastructure, cloud computing, data centres and next-generation digital technologies worldwide. AI-related electronics now account for an increasingly significant share of Hong Kong's exports.
Growth with broader regional trade flows throughout Asia
The strong export performance has not been confined to a narrow range of technology items. HKTDC Deputy Director of Research, Wing Chu, said: "Exports of a broad range of conventional electronic parts and components have continued to perform strongly. Regional manufacturing networks spanning the Chinese Mainland and ASEAN economies remain highly active, supporting vigorous trade flows throughout Asia. At the same time, export performance across many traditional industries has remained broadly stable, reflecting continued overseas demand and resilient consumption in major markets."
HKTDC Deputy Director of Research Wing Chu
ASEAN continues to be one of Hong Kong's most dynamic export destinations, while exporter sentiment towards both ASEAN and the Chinese Mainland remains firmly positive. Regional trade flows across Asia have remained exceptionally strong amid the ongoing technology upcycle, demonstrating the resilience of regional production networks and supply chains. The Chinese Mainland's high-technology manufacturing sector has remained in expansion territory, helping sustain demand for electronic components and related intermediate goods.
Exports remain robust amid evolving US trade policies
Recent developments in US trade policy have introduced additional uncertainty into the global trading environment. In July, the United States imposed an additional 12.5% Section 301 tariff on imports from a number of trading partners, including the Chinese Mainland and Hong Kong. Nevertheless, Hong Kong's exports to the United States have remained remarkably resilient, with US-bound exports rising by 63.4% year-on-year in the first eight months of 2026.
Bruce Pang added: "While the latest Section 301 tariff measures have added a degree of uncertainty for businesses, the direct impact on Hong Kong exports is expected to be limited. A substantial share of Hong Kong's exports to the United States consists of products covered by tariff exemption arrangements, particularly in the technology and electronics sectors.”
“Recent developments in China-US relations have also helped improve the trade environment. The September Xi-Trump meeting and extension of the trade truce until January 2027, coupled with the US$30 billion Reciprocal Tariff Reduction Arrangement, provide a welcome period of stability, reducing the risk of further tariff escalation in the coming months. The extended policy dialogue between the two sides has also led to further easing in bilateral trade tensions. Together with the continued strength of global demand for technology products, these developments should help underpin Hong Kong's export performance in the months ahead."
Hong Kong moving up the value chain
Beyond the cyclical upswing in technology demand, recent trade developments also point to a significant structural transformation in Hong Kong's trade profile. According to HKTDC research, Hong Kong's exports are increasingly concentrated in high-value, technology-intensive products such as integrated circuits, computer parts and advanced telecommunications equipment. These products are progressively replacing traditional lower-value, bulk merchandise as key contributors to export growth.
At the same time, Hong Kong's trade logistics pattern is undergoing a profound shift, as the growing importance of high-value items, such as semiconductors and luxury products, has increased reliance on air freight. Hong Kong's extensive air cargo network, combined with its close land transport connectivity with advanced manufacturing clusters in Southern China, has strengthened its position as a leading high-value international trade and logistics hub, as pledged in Hong Kong’s First Five-Year Plan.
Wing Chu said: "Hong Kong is increasingly handling products that are compact in size but exceptionally high in value, which are frequently transported via a combination of air cargo services serving overseas destinations and land transport links connecting Hong Kong with manufacturing centres in the Chinese Mainland. This transformation highlights Hong Kong's evolution from a traditional trading gateway into a high-value-added international trade and supply chain management centre."
Outlook remains constructive
Looking ahead, the HKTDC expects Hong Kong's exports to maintain solid momentum through the remainder of 2026, supported by resilient global demand for technology products, and robust manufacturing and trade activities across the Chinese Mainland and other major destinations, such as ASEAN.
Nevertheless, exporters will continue to navigate a challenging and uncertain external environment. HKTDC Section Head of Special Project & Business Advisory, Kenneth Lee, said: "Businesses continue to face a range of external headwinds like geopolitical tensions, volatility in energy and commodity markets, and rising protectionist measures in certain economies. Despite these challenges, international consumption has remained relatively resilient in recent months, helping sustain demand for a broad range of consumer products. As a result, sectors such as clothing, watches and clocks, and jewellery have continued to deliver stable export performance alongside the strong growth seen in technology-related industries."
