Who cares????
Let's recap-
A.
Some information about "the first working meeting of the board" of the Quantum Materials Asia entity was reported on Chinese language sites by Li Wanxiang, a reporter. It was reported that at the meeting, "three important decisions," were made. The third one being "the formation of a 'quantum Material Industrial Investment Fund', the scale of 5 billion yuan," so as "to promote the production and application of quantum materials." Apparently, to several, this was confusing, e.g., see #48352 - "Several of us are searching for clarity..."
B.
Different and more specific information was published later that day by a publicly traded company's Twitter account- "China to invest 5 BILLION Yuan or $762 Million Dollars to make products using Quantum Dots.... #QMC's Quantum Dots!"
The former: The words of a reporter regarding a decision by QMC's Asian JV's BOD to create an investment fund.
The latter: QMC themselves tweeting to all their followers that China, a sovereign state in East Asia, was investing in the development of products using their quantum dots.
There's a dramatic difference. Do you see why it matters and why someone might ask, "How is that not a PR? [sic]"
And just so we are clear, I wasn't the one calling for a press release. I'm just trying to help you understand why I don't think the timing of the tweet is the important part. The information in the tweet was new, specific, different, and if saying "China" was not a poor choice of words, significantly more important!
