It was a genuine pleasure hosting two of our prospective partners from Türkiye at CJ over the past two days — and honestly, one of the warmest visits we've had this year. They are e‑commerce mentors with a real following overseas. Through their media channels, they teach people how to start and grow a business on e‑commerce platforms, and their guidance has helped a great many young entrepreneurs take their very first step. With that kind of influence, they are careful about who they stand behind — which is exactly why their trip to China meant so much to us. They told us plainly: they came because they consider CJ a supplier they can trust. Day one — CJ Hangzhou HQ. We walked them through our head office, our teams, and how we work day to day. Again and again they stopped us with the same remark: "CJ is so much bigger than we imagined." They had a picture in their head before landing, and reality simply exceeded it. Day two — Yiwu office, factory and warehouse. We took them through our full backend: sourcing, production lines, quality inspection, packing and outbound. They were amazed by the scale of the supply chain system behind every single order. Customization was what interested them most, so we built the visit around it — laser engraving, carbonized leather effects, embroidery, and everything else we can offer partners who want their own branding on a product. They watched each process closely, because when you are the one advising thousands of sellers, you need to know exactly what a factory can and cannot do. Between sessions we also went to the Yiwu International Trade City on their own. When they came back, one of them said something we will remember for a long time: China had far exceeded what they imagined — so developed, and so efficient, that walking around felt a little like seeing the future ahead of schedule. But the biggest impression, they insisted, was none of the infrastructure. It was the people. Chinese people are truly kind, they said, and they had felt warmly looked after at every stop. We told them this is simply an old Chinese tradition: when a friend comes from far away, you open your door, you sit down together, and you make sure they see everything clearly. Because trust is the beginning of every real partnership — and trust can only be built face to face. In return, our guests insisted on treating us to authentic Turkish cuisine, and happily walked us through Turkish food culture dish by dish. That is how the best kind of exchange works: hospitality given, hospitality returned. And one small moment that made us all laugh — they noticed that in our office, on almost everyone's desk, there is a stack of tissue packets. They asked about it several times, genuinely puzzled. Yes. This is a Chinese office thing. You would not believe how normal it is to us. Grateful for this encounter, and grateful to be trusted. We hope these two days give their audience even more confidence in what Chinese supply chains can deliver — and we look forward to growing together. #CrossBorderEcommerce# #CJTeam# #GlobalPartners# #Turkiye# #SupplierTrust# #Customization# #Yiwu# #EntrepreneurMindset# #CulturalExchange# #CJdropshipping#

From launching programmable spend controls with global partners to scaling our identity stack across physical and digital frontiers, we are building the execution layer for the agent economy. Here is a look at what we delivered last week 👇 1️⃣ We rebuilt the Kite Passport dashboard around active spending sessions and live transaction history, while introducing a new cloud-deploy skill for agents. 2️⃣ We are partnering with @okx to bring the Kite Agent Passport to OKX OnchainOS, enabling verifiable identity and programmable spend controls for autonomous agents. 3️⃣ Our Co-Founder & CEO @ChiZhangData was announced for the AGI Summit SF 2026 to discuss the shift toward verifiable agent authorization and enforceable spend limits. 4️⃣ We joined the Unibase Memory Chrome Extension as a Launch Partner and released the Kite Memory Card to provide agents with the necessary context to build on Kite. 5️⃣ We co-hosted the River Sessions x AI robotics meetup in Japan with @axisrobotics, exploring the intersection of physical AI and machine intelligence. 6️⃣ We expanded our global footprint by joining the workshop lineup for Hacker House Da Nang and serving as a Community Partner for the @iclblockchain UK AI Agent Hackathon. 7️⃣ We shared the stage at Agent Experience Demo Night in San Francisco, hosted by Sapient and featuring teams like @auth0, @Docusign, and @Box, to showcase the verifiable identity and spend controls agents need to execute real-world tasks. 8️⃣ We joined @Vishwa_lab for a podcast session to discuss why agents require identity, permissions, settlement, and controls, a passport rather than just a payment rail. 🪁

Today, we are proud to share the new white paper, “How Google AI is reshaping crisis resilience,” bylined by @ymatias and Kate Brandt. It outlines how we’re building state-of-the-art AI models and working with global partners to predict natural disasters earlier and provide warnings so communities can take action before crises strike. The vision? A world where no one is surprised by a natural disaster. A few highlights: Riverine Floods: Forecasting up to 7 days advance across ~150 countries. Partners like GiveDirectly translate early warnings into anticipatory aid, such as direct cash transfers before floodwaters hit. Urban Flash Floods: Predictions up to 24 hours in advance using our Groundsource methodology powered by Gemini. Cyclones: Providing forecasters with an extra day of critical lead time. Wildfires: Tracking active fire boundaries across 34 countries and making the information available on Search and Maps. Read the white paper:

We are continuing our meetings in Washington, D.C., with top American investors and venture capital funds. Among them was Nate Fick @ncfick, Director of Equity Investment Strategy and Senior Managing Director at Cerberus Capital Management—a global investment firm specializing in private equity and strategic assets. Nate brings deep expertise across technology, security, public policy, and investments. He previously served as the inaugural U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for Cyberspace and Digital Policy, worked as a tech entrepreneur, and began his career as an officer in the U.S. Marine Corps. We also met with Guy Filippelli, Founder and Managing Partner of Squadra Ventures—a U.S. venture firm that invests in early-stage tech companies and helps them scale globally. Our discussions focused on the Ukrainian defense-tech ecosystem, expanding our tech companies into global markets, and attracting international capital. A core priority of these meetings is establishing a new defense-tech investment fund. We are bringing on global partners to mobilize capital and expertise, launching new ventures around the mission-critical technologies needed on the battlefield today. The more international investment and expertise we bring into Ukrainian defense tech, the faster we can build and scale the tools that give Ukraine a decisive edge on the front lines.
