OpenAI Acquires Tech Talk Show TBPN in First-Ever Media Purchase

OpenAI acquires popular tech talk show TBPN on April 2 in a deal reportedly worth hundreds of millions of dollars, marking the AI company first move into media.

China plans to add 180 to 240 gigawatts of solar photovoltaic capacity in 2026, according to national energy agency data.

Additionally, China will add over 200 million kilowatts of wind and solar energy installation capacity nationwide.

By end of 2026, solar power generation capacity is expected to exceed coal power generation capacity. This demonstrates China's rapid clean energy transition.

By 2026, wind and solar energy will account for nearly half of China's total electricity generation capacity. Including hydroelectric and nuclear power, clean energy will account for approximately two-thirds.

China's clean energy development not only benefits the domestic economy but also benefits the world. Chinese enterprises have participated in over 500 overseas renewable energy projects.

These achievements reflect China's commitment to climate change and sustainable development.
