加州人工智慧政策報告警告「不可逆轉的危害」
(SeaPRwire) - 加州州長Gavin Newsom委託撰寫的一份新報告警告說，雖然人工智慧可以帶來變革性的好處，但在沒有適當保障措施的情況下，它可能會促成核武和生物威脅，並造成「可能無法逆轉的損害」。 該報告於6月17日發布，內容指出：「建立有效的人工智慧治理框架的機會可能不會無限期地保持開放。」報告引用了新的證據，表明人工智慧可以幫助用戶找到核級鈾，並且即將讓新手創造生物威脅，因此，目前不作為的代價可能「極高」。 這份53頁的文件源於州長Newsom設立的一個工作小組，加州已成為人工智慧立法的一個中心舞台。由於聯邦層面沒有全面的監管，因此州級政府管理這項技術的努力變得格外重要，尤其是在加州，這裡聚集了許多世界頂尖的人工智慧公司。2023年，加州參議員Scott Wiener發起了一項名為SB 1047的法案，該法案要求大型人工智慧開發商對其系統進行嚴格的安全測試和緩解措施，但批評人士擔心這會扼殺創新並扼殺開源人工智慧社群。儘管產業界強烈反對，但該法案還是通過了州議會兩院，但州長Newsom最終在去年9月否決了該法案，稱其「用心良苦」，但並非「保護公眾的最佳途徑」。 在否決該法案後，Newsom啟動了該工作小組，以「為部署GenAI制定可行的護欄」。該小組由「人工智慧教母」李飛飛（Fei-Fei Li）共同領導，她是SB 1047的一位著名的批評者，另一位共同領導者是國家科學院計算研究社會與倫理影響委員會成員Mariano-Florentino Cuéllar，以及加州大學柏克萊分校計算、數據科學與社會學院院長Jennifer Tour Chayes。該工作小組評估了人工智慧的進展、SB 1047的弱點，並徵求了60多位專家的意見。「作為全球人工智慧創新的中心，加州具有獨特的優勢，可以引領釋放前沿人工智慧的變革潛力，」李飛飛在一份聲明中表示。「然而，要實現這一承諾，需要以人為本的價值觀、科學嚴謹性和廣泛的合作為基礎，進行深思熟慮和負責任的管理。」 報告指出：「自州長Newsom去年9月否決SB 1047以來，基礎模型的能力迅速發展。」該產業已從僅預測文本流中下一個單詞的大型語言人工智慧模型，轉向經過訓練來解決複雜問題的系統，並受益於「推理擴展」，這使它們有更多時間來處理資訊。這些進展可以加速科學研究，但也可能通過使不良行為者更容易進行網路攻擊或獲取化學和生物武器，從而加劇國家安全風險。該報告指出，Anthropic上個月剛發布的Claude 4模型，該公司認為可能能夠幫助潛在的恐怖分子製造生物武器或設計一場大流行病。同樣，OpenAI的o3模型據報導在關鍵評估中優於94%的病毒學家。 近幾個月來，新的證據表明人工智慧有能力，在訓練期間表現出與其創造者的目標一致，但在部署後顯示出其他目標，並且會操縱人類來實現其目標，報告稱。報告說，雖然「目前是良性的，但這些發展代表了具體的經驗證據，證明了可能對衡量失控風險構成重大挑戰的行為，並可能預示著未來的危害」。 雖然共和黨人已提議對所有州級人工智慧監管實施10年禁令，理由是擔心分散的政策環境可能會阻礙國家競爭力，但該報告認為，加州有針對性的監管實際上可以通過為其他州提供藍圖，同時確保公眾更安全，從而「減少開發商的合規負擔，並避免採取拼湊的方法」。該報告沒有提倡任何具體的政策，而是概述了工作小組認為加州在制定未來立法時應採取的關鍵原則。卡內基國際和平基金會科技與國際事務項目訪問學者、該報告的主要撰寫人Scott Singer表示，該報告「避開」了SB1047的一些更具爭議的條款，例如要求設置「關閉開關」或關閉機制，以便在可能造成損害時快速停止某些人工智慧系統。 相反，該方法側重於提高透明度，例如通過法律保護舉報人並建立事件報告系統，以便立法者和公眾可以更好地了解人工智慧的進展。報告的共同領導者Cuéllar表示，目標是「收穫創新的好處。讓我們不要設置人為的障礙，但同時，隨著我們的進步，讓我們思考我們正在學習的關於技術行為方式的知識」。該報告強調，這種可見性不僅對於面向公眾的人工智慧應用至關重要，而且對於了解系統如何在人工智慧公司內部進行測試和部署也至關重要，因為令人擔憂的行為可能首先在那裡出現。 Singer表示，「這裡的根本方法是『信任但驗證』，」這個概念借鑒自冷戰時期的軍備控制條約，其中涉及設計獨立檢查合規性的機制。這與現有的努力有所不同，現有的努力取決於公司的主動合作，例如OpenAI和 Center for AI Standards and Innovation (formerly the U.S. AI Safety Institute) 之間達成的進行部署前測試的協議。Singer表示，這種方法承認「產業內部存在大量的專業知識」，但「也強調了獨立驗證安全聲明的各項方法的重要性」。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。 ```
在 TIME100 Talk 上，高管們討論了數位包容性和正面性的力量 “`
(SeaPRwire) - 對於全球大多數人來說，社交媒體是日常生活的一部分。每天有數十億人在各種平台上與品牌、故事、影響者和其他內容互動。 鑑於這些內容對消費者產生的影響，討論積極性、包容性以及品牌所扮演的角色至關重要。 在週二舉行的 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity（坎城國際創意節）上，《時代》雜誌 CEO Jessica Sibley 與行業領導者舉行了一場圓桌會議，討論他們在快速變化的在線環境中所做的事情。 討論開始於 Pinterest 的 CEO Bill Ready（該公司為本次活動的贊助商）提出了當今的年輕人所面臨的挑戰，以及培養健康的在線平台的重要性。 他回憶起自己做出的一項決定，即限制 16 歲以下的人訪問有害內容。 他說：「作為一名家長，我真的認為我不希望年輕人在網路上與陌生人互動。」 Ready 表示，年輕用戶已經注意到 Pinterest 作為一個平台的整體方法，他們可以在這裡「擺脫其他地方的毒害」。 其他商界領袖也表達了類似的擔憂。 Common Sense Media 的創始人兼 CEO Jim Steyer 表示，該機構負責審查社交媒體平台的安全性，他最大的擔憂是「我們等待了很長時間才處理」這個問題，而且這對世界各地的年輕人來說都很重要。 他補充說：「我們在美國遇到的擔憂在全球範圍內都存在。」 零售公司 PacSun 的 CEO Brieane Olson 說，企業需要了解 Z 世代用戶的需求和願望。 她說：「最讓我驚訝的是，透過數位鏡頭，Z 世代變得多麼被誤解。 」《時代》雜誌的 Chief Impact and Marketing Officer Sadé Mohammed 補充說：「作為成年人，人們會感到自己沒有被納入真實生活中。 我在思考我們可以做些什麼來促進線下社群的發展。」 一些高管還強調了特定年輕受眾的需求。 加州化妝品公司 e.l.f. Beauty 的 Chief Brand Officer Laurie Lam 表示，更多公司需要專注於讓年輕女性感到被看見和被聽見。 她說：「作為兩個女兒的母親，我們的精神深深植根於支持他人。」 創意機構 Accenture Song 的新任 CEO Ndidi Oteh 提出了品牌責任的問題。 「這是一個反覆出現的主題，你如何讓你的影響者承擔責任，你如何確保你以負責任的態度行事……以確保我們實際上正在朝著一個更積極的世界邁進。」 在坎城舉行的圓桌會議上的行業領導者也闡明了他們自己的個人挑戰。 體育廣播員兼女性服裝公司 WEAR 的聯合創始人 Erin Andrews 透露了她在聚光燈下的經歷。 她說，隨著時間的推移，她發現自己對自己的私生活更加開放，包括她接受子宮頸癌治療的經歷。 「這真的很困難，」她說。 Andrews 繼續保持讓女性球迷參加比賽的動力。 「當爸爸們走過來對我說『我希望我的女兒做你所做的事情』時，我都會熱淚盈眶，」她說。 參加圓桌會議的其他人士包括 Chelsea Women FC 的 CEO Aki Mandhar；Mattel 的 Chief Brand Officer 兼 Executive Vice President Lisa McKnight；Amusement Park Entertainment 的 CEO & Chief Creative Officer Jimmy Smith；Creator Ventures 的 Chief Vision Officer Casper Lee；Seven Seven Six 和 Athlos 的創始人 Alexis Ohanian；Twitch 的 Chief Marketing Officer Rachel Delphin；JP Morgan Chase 的 Chief Marketing Officer Carla Hassan；Pinterest 的 Global Chief Marketing Officer Andréa Mallard；以及 SC Johnson Lifestyle Brands 的 CEO Renata Ferraiolo 和文化評論家兼播客主持人 Blakely Thornton。 TIME100 Talks：正能量的力量 — 建立有意義的品牌聯繫由 Pinterest 呈現。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。 ```
TIME Studios 與 Partners In Kind 宣布合作製作具影響力的紀錄片
(SeaPRwire) - 這家艾美獎獲獎工作室正與強大的媒體和娛樂公司合作，共同資助一系列的紀實長片。 TIME Studios，TIME 旗下屢獲艾美獎的電影和電視部門，以及 Partners In Kind，一家以推動具有社會影響力的故事講述為宗旨而成立的目標驅動型媒體公司，已合作在未來兩年內共同製作和共同資助一系列充滿活力的紀實長片。 兩家公司秉持著通過故事講述推動文化和社會影響的共同使命，將合作推出那些在當今比以往任何時候都更需要真實、具有影響力的敘事方式下，來自世界各地不為人知的故事。 共享片單中的第一個項目，WINNIE AND NELSON，由獲獎電影製作人 Dawn Porter（John Lewis: Good Trouble, The Way I See It）執導，是一部傳記和政治驚悚片，探討了年輕的 Winnie 和年長的 Nelson Mandela 之間的愛情故事如何最終推動了一場改變世界的革命——使 Mandela 成為全球英雄，而 Winnie 卻成為歷史上一個被誤解的人物。 另一個共享項目，MONOLITH，探索了 Stanley Kubrick 的2001: A Space Odyssey的影響，最近也已宣布。 該電影是與這位傳奇電影製作人的遺產和 Stanley Kubrick Film Archive 合作製作的，並計劃於 2026 年上映。它由 Phoenix Pictures、Catchlight Studios 和 Appian Way 製作。 由 Stevan Riley（Listen To Me Marlon）執導，Leonardo DiCaprio 擔任執行製片人。 “這種合作夥伴關係是價值觀和願景的自然結合，”TIME Studios 總裁 Dave O'Connor 說。“我們與 Partners In Kind 一起，很自豪能將具有變革意義的故事搬上銀幕，這些故事反映了在逆境中韌性、領導力和愛的力量。” “在 Partners In Kind，我們熱衷於擴大不為人知的故事，並將重要的、經常被忽視的觀點帶到前沿，”Partners In Kind 的聯合創始人 Gillian Hormel 和 Shelly Tygielski 說。“通過與 TIME Studios 的合作，我們很自豪能夠支持那些闡明複雜真相、尊重歷史遺產並挑戰觀眾反思塑造我們世界的倫理和文化力量的電影製作人。 我們共同致力於製作大膽、持久的電影，以啟發、參與和鼓舞人心。” 認識到結合影響力和娛樂性的共同願景，這兩個組織目前正在評估多個潛在的入境項目，以及源於各自發展計劃中的項目。 TIME Studios 和 Partners In Kind 的電影合作將涵蓋不同的類型和視角，每個項目都植根於電影的卓越性和推動觀眾參與對緊急和持久問題的討論。 通過 Partners In Kind Foundation，每個項目還將包含相應的影響力活動，旨在將其影響力擴展到銀幕之外——激活用戶，激發公民參與，並支持相關的基層倡議。 在反思這種合作關係時，Dawn Porter 強調了在這個時刻對紀錄片製作進行大膽投資的至關重要性，他分享說：“TIME Studios 和 Partners In Kind 之間的這種創造性合作夥伴關係正是目前紀錄片製作所需的投資類型。 我希望其他資助者能從這種強大的合作夥伴關係中得到啟發。 觀眾喜歡我們的電影，而這項投資使我們能夠繼續為他們服務。” TIME Studios 由 CAA 代表，Partners In Kind 由 Loeb & Loeb LLP 的 Marc Chamlin 代表。 ###本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。 ```
伊朗的未來只屬於伊朗人民
(SeaPRwire) - “你認為我還能再見到伊朗嗎？” 這個問題懸在空中——安靜、脆弱、沉重，帶著渴望。我的父親在他生命的暮光之年問道，他正與試圖削弱他的癌症作戰。我聽到的不僅是他一個人的聲音，而是數百萬人的迴響：那些逃離了他們所愛的土地的人，以及那些仍然留在後面，仍在等待伊朗可能再次成為伊朗的那一天的人。 在之後，他逃往倫敦，險些逃脫了以神權政治取代一個垮台君主的絞索。我的父親忠誠地為這個君主制服務，相信儘管它作為一個獨裁政權有種種缺點，但它正在實現現代化，在社會上是自由的，在政治上是可以改革的：與伊斯蘭共和國完全相反。 我的父親一旦離開伊朗，就再也沒有回去。在流亡中，他目睹了一個監禁、折磨和謀殺的政權。一個將他與他的土地隔絕，但無法打破他的希望的政權。 那麼其他人呢？那些留下來的人。我們的家人和親人。那些忍受著壓迫和近乎持續不斷的不安全感的鞭打的人。他們也在問：我們什麼時候才能從這漫長的黑夜中奪回我們的國家？ 我在失去的家園的懷舊和流亡的現實之間長大。伊斯蘭共和國大使館外的口號聲，我們狹窄的政府住房裡異議人士聚會時波斯茶杯的碰撞聲，以及奪走朋友和夢想家的令人心碎的消息。那種悲傷和反抗的混合塑造了我們。而現在，隨著，我們再次感受到它：為無辜者感到悲傷，為迫害者的垮台而感到希望。 當與伊朗境內的公民社會領袖交談時，似乎很少有伊朗人直接將這場戰爭歸咎於外國勢力。儘管任何國家都有不同的聲音，但許多伊朗人最終認為，伊斯蘭共和國從來不是國家的守護者，而是其自身革命的守護者。甚至它的革命衛隊也沒有伊朗的名字——只有一種吞噬其子女並邀請戰爭降臨在他們身上的暴力意識形態。 在一份聯合聲明中，伊朗的諾貝爾獎得主 Narges Mohammadi 和 Shirin Ebadi，電影製作人 Jafar Panahi 和 Mohammad Rasoulof，以及公民社會的聲音敦促世界各國領導人停止鈾濃縮，結束伊朗和以色列無辜者的流血事件。 在國內，樂觀和絕望爭奪著人民的靈魂。 幾十年來，我們中的許多人懇求世界各國領導人：拒絕綏靖和與伊斯蘭共和國的戰爭。還有另一條道路——扼殺該政權並賦予人民權力。很少有人選擇它。太多人問過這個問題，“伊朗人民真的想要改變嗎？” 彷彿他們沒有聽到伊朗街頭一波又一波的“獨裁者去死”和“哈梅內伊去死”的呼聲。也許現在——當這些呼聲從德黑蘭的屋頂迴盪，即使在戰爭的陰影下——他們最終會聽取。 自戰鬥開始以來，幾個恐怖分子的頭目在他們的掩體和床上被殺。但與他們一起喪生的還有一個，一個，和——明日的光明希望與舊衛隊的黑暗一同消失。我們中的許多人痛苦地看著我們的同胞，渴望在壓迫和毀滅之外找到一個安全的避風港。 正如持不同政見的說唱歌手問道：“在沒有燃料，常常沒有足夠的儲蓄來搬遷，並且在另一個城市沒有第二套房子的情況下，超過 900 萬人應該如何撤離德黑蘭？” 伊朗人看穿了政權官員虛偽的憤慨，他們今天為平民哭泣，卻在 2019 年灑下了抗議者的鮮血，在 2022 年的“女性、生命、自由”起義中殺害了更多人，並在四十年的暴政中殺害了無數其他人。 然而，該政權仍然堅持其威權主義劇本：關閉互聯網，審查其新聞。它沒有為公民提供保護或在戰爭中提供安全港，而是強迫大學生參加考試，彷彿一切都沒有改變，並加強對言論自由的壓制。 伊斯蘭共和國的非法性不僅體現在其可怕的人權記錄中，也體現在其戰略失敗中。用 的話說，“鎮壓異議，將無辜的人關進監獄，在國外搞砸行動——伊朗似乎無法擺脫困境。” 最近，以色列的網絡攻擊設法削弱了伊朗的反擊能力。 真正的和平倡導者拒絕一切形式的侵略戰爭和恐怖主義。對後者的漠不關心削弱了對前者的任何真正承諾。 沒有外部力量會拯救伊朗。外國救世主的時代已經結束。我們不生活在單一帝國或簡單聯盟的世界中。每個國家都必須照料自己的花園。但沒有任何土壤是孤立存在的。近半個世紀以來，伊朗政權不僅毒害了自己的土地——它的禍害已經蔓延到也門、敘利亞、伊拉克、加沙、黎巴嫩。 伊朗的命運將由，也應該由伊朗人來書寫——不是在國外首都或封閉的房間裡，而是在他們自己的街道上，用他們自己的聲音，通過他們自己的鬥爭。只要那些夢想自由民主的人仍然分裂，只要個人野心、舊傷和意識形態分歧阻礙共同目標——我擔心我父親問題的答案。 為了自由的伊朗、穩定的地區和世界和平——當我們敦促克制和遵守國際法時——我們還必須確保伊朗人民的主權，而不是他們的壓迫者。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。 ```

HKTDC Maintains 3% Export Growth Forecast
HONG KONG, Jun 18, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Hong Kong is still on course for export growth of 3% this year, the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) confirmed today. This timely assessment came as the HKTDC announced the findings of two of its key metrics namely the 2025 Mid-Year Export Review and Outlook and the HKTDC Export Confidence Index 2Q25.Strong frontloading amid tariff uncertaintiesThe city’s 2025 export performance is navigating a period of almost unprecedented turbulence in the global trade arena. Much of this uncertainty has stemmed from the radical shift in US trade policy – particularly the heavy reliance on substantial import tariffs – adopted by President Trump’s administration.In anticipation of a hefty tariff regime, many of Hong Kong’s exporters opted to “frontload” their orders in the early months of 2025 before the new tariffs were implemented. This helped bolster the city’s export figures in the early months of the year and resulted in a number of other positive factors.Low exposure to US marketFirst, Hong Kong has low exposure to the US market when compared with other economies. For instance, US-bound exports in 2024 accounted for just 6.5% of Hong Kong’s total exports.By learning the lessons of previous tariff regimes, notably during the first term of President Trump (2017 to 2021), Hong Kong successfully reconfigured its trading base to reduce its exposure to uncertainties in the US market. Since 2017, Hong Kong has bolstered its trade ties with other economies, with exports to the ASEAN bloc up 38.5% and to the Middle East increasing by 58.1%. The upshot of this is that, despite a 10.5% drop in Hong Kong’s exports to the US over the last eight years, Hong Kong’s total exports for the period recorded a 17.2% increase.This vulnerability has been further reduced by many Hong Kong exporters prioritizing the diversification of their sourcing locations in line with China+1 or China+N strategies. As a consequence, many of Hong Kong’s US-bound exports are now sourced from different locations than they were in 2017. In fact, in 2024, nearly half of Hong Kong’s US-bound exports originated from a variety of international sources, notably up from the comparable figure of 15% eight years ago.Taken together, should a high level of US tariffs be reinstated, only about 3.4% of Hong Kong’s total exports would be affected. Any impact would then be further diminished once the products eligible for tariff exemptions were also taken into account. Collectively, these factors underpin HKTDC Research’s expectation that, even in such adverse trading conditions, Hong Kong’s exports will still expand by 3% as predicted earlier in the year.Commenting on the HKTDC’s decision to confirm its earlier forecast, Director of Research, Irina Fan, said: “Whatever the outcome of the ongoing trade negotiations, our low exposure to the US market, robust trade ties with other markets and diversified sourcing networks are the key underlying factors that should allow Hong Kong exporters to weather the US tariffs relatively unscathed.”Weaker export performance expected in 2HIn line with the overall expectation that export performance would weaken as 2025 progresses, the overall reading for the HKTDC Export Confidence Index in the second quarter fell below 50 for the first time in a year. This moderate decline in Hong Kong exporter confidence can be taken as aligning with the escalation in global trade uncertainty.With the survey conducted at the height of the China-US tariff trade war (28 April-15 May), this downbeat outcome was widely anticipated. In specific terms, this saw the Current Performance Index fall to 49.6 (down from 52.1), while the Expectation Index stood at 49.0 (down from 51.0). Subsequent to the completion of the survey, new trade negotiations have emerged between Mainland China (including Hong Kong) and the US; an outcome expected to be reflected in the findings of the 3Q25 Index.In other findings, Hong Kong exporter confidence remained high regarding prospects in both the ASEAN bloc (59.9) and Mainland China (52.6), while the corresponding reading for the US plummeted to 31.6 (down from 46.7)The Current Performance of three of the six key Hong Kong industry sectors tracked by the Index remained positive with Jewellery at 51.6, Timepieces at 52.1 and Equipment/Materials at 50.4. In the case of the other three sectors, Electronics and Clothing (both 48.9) were marginally below the watershed level while Toys (43.1) continued its recent decline.Putting the findings into context, Kenneth Lee, Special Project and Business Advisory Section Head, HKTDC Research, said: “Overall, the findings for the second quarter align with earlier expectations of weaker exporter confidence amid US tariff uncertainties. It is, however, heartening to see Hong Kong exporters maintain a largely positive outlook with regard to all of the city’s major markets, except for the US.”To view press releases in Chinese, please visit http://mediaroom.hktdc.com/tcReferences- HKTDC Research website: https://research.hktdc.com/en/- HKTDC Export Confidence Index 2Q25: Exporter Confidence Weakens Amid US Tariff Uncertainties https://research.hktdc.com/en/article/MjAyNjM4NzY1Mg- 2025 Mid-Year Trade Review and Outlook: Global Trade Talk Progress Sees HKTDC Adhere to 3% Export Growth Forecast https://research.hktdc.com/en/article/MjAzNDc4NjgwMwPhoto download: https://bit.ly/4n24Ds1 HKTDC Director of Research Irina Fan (left) and HKTDC Research’s Special Project and Business Advisory Section Head Kenneth Lee (right) announced the 2025 Mid-Year Trade Review and Outlook and the HKTDC Export Confidence Index for 2025’s second quarter at a press conference todayHKTDC Director of Research Irina FanHKTDC Research’s Special Project and Business Advisory Section Head Kenneth LeeMedia enquiriesPlease contact the HKTDC’s Communication and Public Affairs Department:Jane CheungTel: (852) 2584 4137Email: jane.mh.cheung@hktdc.orgAbout HKTDCThe Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) is a statutory body established in 1966 to promote, assist and develop Hong Kong's trade.

“J-Style Trip Season 3” Tops Ratings for Twelve Consecutive Episodes
HONG KONG, Jun 18, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - On June 15, the outdoor reality-variety show J-Style Trip Season 3, co-produced by Star Plus Legend and Zhejiang Satellite TV and exclusively sponsored by MODONG MAGIC, successfully concluded its season. Praised for its unscripted format, absence of fixed personas, and rule-free structure, the show has maintained high popularity across all three seasons. This season, J-Style Trip Season 3 topped the ratings for 12 consecutive episodes, ranking No.1 among variety shows in its time slot across 71 major cities according to CSM data. Across the entire season, the show garnered 375 trending topics on major platforms and generated over 4.1 billion views related to its content. On Weibo, the main hashtag #J-Style Trip# surpassed 2.2 billion views, with the total cumulative views of the main topic across all three seasons reaching 3.77 billion. A total of 56 individual trending topics remained on the charts for over 10 hours each, contributing to a long-tail effect with the season’s hot search duration exceeding 1,220 hours. On Youku, the show consistently ranked No.1 on multiple charts, including the Free Variety Show Popularity List and the Travel Variety Show List. J-Style Trip Season 3 set new benchmarks across all three seasons in terms of social media buzz and audience engagement. On Weibo alone, topic views for this season exceeded the combined total of the first two seasons — highlighting the show's enhanced storytelling power and growing cultural impact.This season, J-Style Trip Season 3 was led by Jay Chou, the creator of the “J-style journey,” who was joined by a vibrant group of travel companions including Will Liu, Ken Lin, Funky Tu, Will Tsai, Chien-Te Fang, Kuan-Ting Chen and Guanlin Chen. Together, they visited breathtaking destinations and uncovered touching personal stories—building an emotional connection unique to the “J-style” travel experience and contributing countless standout moments throughout the show. The addition of Will Liu brought fresh energy to the series. His seamless chemistry with Jay Chou created numerous memorable highlights—from leading foreign tourists in a ‘Chinese Herbal Manual’ fitness dance on the streets of Greece, to exploring traditional Chinese culture through Wing Chun and lion dancing in Guangdong. These moments added new layers of fun, spontaneity, and cultural richness to the journey.J-Style Trip Season 3 centers around the theme of “looking for outstanding Chinese individuals around the world,” highlighting overseas Chinese who have made remarkable contributions across various fields—including professionals, artists, and cultural inheritors. This season’s journey spans countries such as Italy, Greece, and Saudi Arabia, where the cast meets figures like tennis star Zhang Zhizhen, rising opera talent Wang Kang, and world latte art champion Hu Zhonghua, among many others who are preserving and innovating intangible cultural heritage. Through these inspiring personal stories, the show vividly conveys the spirit of “passion knows no borders” and sheds light on the diversity and strength of Chinese identity in a globalized world. No longer just a casual trip among celebrity friends, this season has transformed into a warm, meaningful, and resonant exploration of culture.This season, J-Style Trip 3 further elevated its signature relaxed travel aesthetic, while staying true to its unscripted, unfiltered, and freeform filming style. With a faster storytelling rhythm and more dynamic transitions, the show guided viewers through local markets, street food scenes, and everyday urban life—offering both in-depth cultural exploration and practical travel tips. In the season finale, the J-Style Trip group took part in a cultural exchange with young Chinese dancer Liang Daiqing and the “Shaoli Ensemble”, a traditional folk music group from the Zhuang ethnic minority in Guangxi. This “folk song × pop” crossover showcased the unique charm of the minority culture.As the show’s popularity continues to rise, attention has also turned to its sponsors. MODONG MAGIC is the exclusive title sponsor, with Alipay as strategic partner. Special sponsors include ADATA, Enya Cyber-G, Bonggie, and VIVICYCLE, while the tourism boards of Saudi Arabia and Australia provide special support. This diverse brand backing fully unlocks the commercial potential of the content IP. Historically, star-led reality shows often “win critical acclaim but fail to reach mass appeal.” Even with top-tier celebrities and loyal fans, they rarely break out of niche circles. Star Plus Legend, the company behind J-Style Trip Season 3, has now set a new benchmark in star IP commercialization.Unlike traditional talent management firms, Star Plus Legend focuses on creating proprietary brands based on each artist’s traits, adopting a long-term approach to star IP commercialization. In this season, Star Plus Legend upgraded the commercial loop around the show’s boutique content IP. Industry insiders explain that Star Plus Legend attracts brand sponsors and earns licensing revenue through the show, while also empowering its own IP and brands to boost new-retail sales. Leveraging celebrity influence and full-channel promotion, including livestream e-commerce and private-domain social media, Star Plus Legend converts IP traffic into product volume, forming a complete commercial loop that highlights the superiority of its operating model.The success and monetization of J-Style Trip Season 3 mark the maturation of Star Plus Legend’s “IP-empowered new retail” model. In the arena of deep integration between content and consumer, this IP-centric, omnichannel marketing commercial loop not only increases the long-tail value of star IP but also creates a sustainable monetization path for the industry.

Fintech and Global Growth in Focus as Russia National Centre Hosts Key Session at SPIEF 2025
June 18, 2025 – (SeaPRwire) – The St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) 2025 opened in St. Petersburg on June 18 with a high-level session hosted by the Russia National Centre, highlighting fintech innovation and strategies for global economic growth. The forum’s business program opened on June 18 with the session “Shaping a New Platform for Global Growth,” where the final report on the results of the International Open Dialogue of the Russia National Centre was presented.

The CEO of Tanssi Foundation, Tiago Rudiger (Brazil), emphasised that the real fintech revolution is happening in Global South countries. “Forget Wall Street – the fintech revolution is happening in Global South countries. Thanks to blockchain, money and assets are becoming programmable, and combined with artificial intelligence, this provides a powerful impulse for transforming the entire financial sector. Fintech is changing the game’s rules, affecting traditional banks and opening new opportunities for millions of people,” believes Tiago Rudiger. He noted that Brazil and Russia are sharing their experiences in these areas with each other. “I read that this will help people reduce transaction costs in global financial markets. I’m ready to discuss this with enthusiasm. I look forward to when these processes arrive in Brazil and worldwide,” emphasised Tiago Rudiger. Maxim Oreshkin, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation, moderated the session. He emphasised that this year, the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum is taking place against turbulent world events. “This year, the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum is taking place against turbulent world events. This includes the situation in the Middle East and trade wars. Much time will be devoted to this current agenda at the forum. We must not forget which long-term trends and challenges are basic and defining. It is important to conduct an open dialogue about how we build the world of the future and how to form a new platform for global growth. In which countries does this global growth occur, on which technologies will it be built, and on which principles and cultural code? Our task is to ensure that forward movement benefits people in all countries that, like Russia, are working on the future. It is through open dialogue that our future and its understanding are built,” emphasised Maxim Oreshkin. At the session organised by the Russia National Centre, speakers also discussed the report on the results of the Open Dialogue prepared by the Centre for Cross-Industry Expertise “Third Rome.” The session took place in sequential discussions, in which speakers discussed economics, technologies, and people in a rapidly changing world.

Magic Hibiscus Repair Gel ultimately received the Gold Award and topped the category ranking, highlighting Taiwan’s competitiveness in botanical scientific research. Inspired by Mountain Legends, Transformed by Modern Science Hibiscus taiwanensis grows in Taiwan’s high mountains and has long been revered in local culture and indigenous wisdom. According to legend, in the Alishan region, an indigenous youth named Ayong observed how wild animals would use the plant’s sap to treat wounds, inspiring the belief in its healing properties. This story deeply influenced Ms. Meng-Chi Lin, founder of ZHONG FU Biotech. Driven to merge traditional knowledge with modern science, she led years of research and development to successfully integrate Hibiscus taiwanensis extracts into highly effective skincare solutions now recognized by the global market. Founder Meng-Chi Lin: From Starting Over to Global Leadership Ms. Lin began her entrepreneurial journey in 2007, trading in skincare and health supplements. After experiencing personal setbacks in 2011, she restarted her career, quickly expanding into Taiwan’s pharmaceutical and e-commerce sectors, achieving new business heights within eight years. When the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted physical retail in 2020, Ms. Lin swiftly pivoted to digital marketing and livestream e-commerce, forging a new growth trajectory. Throughout her career, she remained committed to exploring the healing potential of Hibiscus taiwanensis. Her persistence culminated in 2025 with Magic Hibiscus Repair Gel earning top honors at the European Cosmetics Awards. “This award is not only a recognition of one product, but a milestone where Taiwan’s botanical research spirit receives international validation,” Lin remarked. About ZHONG FU Biotech Co., Ltd. ZHONG FU Biotech focuses on integrating Taiwan’s unique botanical resources with innovative formulations to create highly effective, safe, and natural skincare products. All products comply with GMP and ISO standards, uphold cruelty-free principles, and embody environmental sustainability. Its “Magic Hibiscus” brand has established a strong presence in both domestic and international markets, expanding into the Middle East and Europe as it brings Taiwan’s herbal expertise to the world. Award Ceremony Highlights The award ceremony was held on May 26, 2025, from 9:30 AM to 1:30 PM at Prague City Hall. Ms. Meng-Chi Lin personally attended the event, accepting congratulations from the jury and distinguished guests. In her acceptance speech, she stated: “I am grateful for the inspiration from Alishan, the dedication of my team, and the support from consumers worldwide.
