Alibaba Cloud ranks first in China's gaming cloud market overall and in six segments

Recently, the latest "China Game Cloud Market Tracking Research, 2026H1" report released by International Data Corporation (IDC) shows that in the first half of 2026, Alibaba Cloud ranked first in the overall market with a market share of 37%, and ranked first in the six major market segments of infrastructure IaaS+CDN, infrastructure IaaS+ solution, infrastructure IaaS, solution, general cloud platform, and cloud gaming platform. Among them, in the game cloud infrastructure market, Alibaba Cloud accounts for 40%; in the game cloud solutions market, Alibaba Cloud accounts for 44%. Focusing on game R&D, operations, and overseas expansion, Alibaba Cloud provides full-stack AI technology from chips, cloud infrastructure, basic models to MaaS and agents. At the agent level, the application of AI is moving from code assistance to specific positions and team workflow. The level planning team of Buming Technology, the developer of "War Intent", uses Qoder to generate the Lua scripts required for troop lines, task triggering and performance control based on natural language requirements. After manual review and in-game execution verification, the level planning team implements the level logic, allowing planners who are familiar with scene design but not good at programming to directly participate in the production of runnable scripts. At the MaaS level, model capabilities have begun to enter the office, customer service and marketing processes of game companies.

港人北上就医更方便了！ Ant Health and Manulife Hong Kong launch cross-border commercial insurance direct payment service

On November 10, Manulife Life Insurance (International) Co., Ltd. ("Manulife Hong Kong") and Ant Health jointly announced the launch of a new cross-border medical support service for eligible Manulife Hong Kong customers. Manulife Hong Kong has also become the first insurance company in Hong Kong to cooperate with Ant Health to provide cross-border medical direct payment. It is understood that eligible customers in Manulife Hong Kong can activate the electronic "medical insurance card" provided by Ant Health on AlipayHK, search for designated hospitals, and arrange outpatient treatment through the 24-hour appointment hotline.
