香港，2025年8月8日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 近日，雲頂新耀（HKEX: 1952.HK）宣布在擴產補充申請獲國家藥監局批准後，其旗下全球首個且唯一獲得完全批准的IgA腎病對因治療藥物耐賦康(R)（布地奈德腸溶膠囊）又取得突破性進展。中國台灣地區藥政部門已正式批准耐賦康(R)的補充申請，新適應症適用於所有具有疾病進展風險的原發性IgA腎病成人患者，無基線蛋白尿水平限制，這將惠及更廣泛的患者群體，助力更多IgA腎病患者盡早接受對因治療，延緩疾病進展、提高生活質量。這也意味著，隨著在中國台灣地區獲得完全批准，耐賦康(R)已完成其在亞洲所有授權區域得完全獲批，重塑IgA腎病治療格局，打開了廣闊的市場空間。從耐賦康(R)擴產獲批緩解市場供應壓力，再到如今在亞洲全域實現完全批准，這一系列的重要進展將為IgA腎病治療領域帶來突破性的變革。其市場潛力也將進一步釋放，有望在上市後首個完整年度實現10億元銷售額。IgA腎病作為全球最常見的原發性腎小球疾病，呈現出在亞洲人群中高發的特征，亞洲人群進展為終末期腎病的風險相較於其他人群高56%，且疾病進展更快。數據顯示，我國患者超500萬，年新增確診超10萬例。在耐賦康(R)獲批前，國內治療方案以腎素-血管緊張素系統抑制劑支持性治療及不規範使用激素和免疫抑制劑為主，存在療效有限、副作用明顯等問題，缺乏對因治療手段。2023年11月，耐賦康(R)通過優先審評程序成功獲批，成為第一款被中國藥監局納入突破性治療品種的非腫瘤藥物，一舉填補了IgA腎病對因治療的空白。在今年5月，耐賦康(R)在中國大陸獲得完全批准，取消了對蛋白尿水平的限制。雲頂新耀財報顯示，耐賦康(R)2024年全年銷售額達3.534億元。耐賦康(R)被正式納入國家醫保目錄並於2025年1月生效，這一舉措極大地提升了藥物的可及性，使其迅速進入市場快速放量期。今年8月，耐賦康(R)的擴產補充申請獲得中國藥品監督管理局（NMPA）正式批准。作為全球首個且目前唯一獲得完全批准的IgA腎病對因治療藥物，此次擴產獲批將有力推動產能的進一步提升，從而更充分地保障中國乃至整個亞洲地區對耐賦康(R)持續增長的臨床用藥供應，緩解市場巨大未被滿足的臨床需求。耐賦康(R)之所以能夠在IgA腎病治療領域脫穎而出，核心在於其獨特的作用機制。耐賦康(R)通過特異性調節腸道黏膜免疫，減少誘發IgA腎病的半乳糖缺陷的IgA1（Gd-IgA1）產生，阻止下遊病理途徑，最終有效控制蛋白尿並保護腎功能。憑借其靶向腸道、對因治療的獨特作用機制和安全性優勢，耐賦康(R)成為目前唯一同時獲國際與國內指南推薦的IgA腎病對因治療藥物，確立了其一線治療的基石地位。此次耐賦康(R)在中國台灣地區完全獲批是基於NefIgArd III期臨床研究中的2年完整數據。該研究顯示，耐賦康(R)展現了優異的腎功能保護數據，能減少腎功能衰退達50%；在中國人群中可減少66%腎功能下降，疾病進展至透析或腎移植的時間延緩12.8年。這一臨床優勢亦在此次完全獲批的評審中獲得認可，耐賦康(R)在減緩腎功能臨床指標惡化方面的數據也被納入藥品說明書，進一步佐證其臨床療效，同時將原有說明書中「需提交完整確證性試驗分析結果以證明其臨床效益」的附帶條件正式移除。耐賦康(R)在中國台灣地區獲得完全批准，進一步印證了其卓越的臨床價值，為醫生提供更加堅實的治療決策依據。未來，隨著耐賦康(R)在亞洲地區的可及性持續提升，將更好地滿足IgA腎病患者對這一創新療法的迫切需求。作為雲頂新耀布局在腎病領域的重磅產品，耐賦康(R)是目前全球首個同時獲中國國家藥品監督管理局（NMPA）、美國食品藥品監督管理局（FDA）、歐洲藥品管理局（EMA）、英國藥品和健康產品管理局（MHRA）及雲頂新耀其他亞洲授權區域（中國香港、中國澳門、中國台灣、新加坡及韓國）完全批准的IgA腎病治療藥物。這為其商業化前景奠定了堅實基礎，不僅大幅提升了產品在亞洲這一核心市場的可及性與患者覆蓋率，也顯著增強了產品管線的變現能力，使耐賦康(R)成為驅動雲頂新耀長期業績增長的關鍵動力。基於此，多家證券機構預測耐賦康(R)銷售峰值有望達50億元，預示著其在腎病治療領域將成為重磅產品，並持續釋放長期商業價值。 Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.
WRC 2025見證機器人落地加速 首程控股全產業鏈佈局亮相
香港，2025年8月8日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 2025年8月8日至12日，第八屆世界機器人大會（WRC 2025）在北京盛大舉行。作為全球機器人領域最具影響力的綜合性盛會之一，本屆大會的展覽面積、參展企業數量與技術展示水平均創歷屆新高。來自全球逾500家企業齊聚一堂，帶來涵蓋工業、服務、特種及人形等全品類的前沿機器人技術與落地應用，現場的動態展示與互動體驗顯著多於往年，充分展現行業從「技術秀」邁向「落地賽」的加速態勢。對於長期深耕機器人產業鏈投資的首程控股（0697.HK）而言，這不僅是一場行業盛會，更是驗證投資布局、洞察未來趨勢的絕佳窗口。大會期間，多家首程被投企業集中亮相，包括全球四足與人形機器人領先企業宇樹科技，工業協作領域的銀河通用（Galbot），高性能關節驅動商松延動力（Noetix Robotics），人形機器人本體企業加速進化（Booster Robotics），具身智能全棧企業星海圖（Galaxea-AI），自適應機器人平台公司自變量機器人（X Square Robot），以及由首程參與投資設立的北京人形機器人創新中心等，覆蓋了從核心零部件到整機製造、從底層算法到場景集成的全產業鏈。一、從「炫技」到「真幹活」：產業分水嶺正在到來在投資人看來，今年WRC最大變化，是機器人從以往更多靜態展示，走向高比例動態表演與場景化互動；從過去強調高速率、高精度等單一性能，邁向泛化能力、高動態穩定性、靈巧操作等綜合指標的突破。這背後，既是算法與算力的進步，也是產業鏈上下游協同成熟。關節、觸覺傳感器、輕量化結構等關鍵零部件企業快速迭代，使主機廠商得以在大會現場直接「搬出」可落地、可交互的功能場景。二、資本熱與落地潮並行，生態布局優勢凸顯今年7-8月，機器人產業融資熱度顯著升溫，一批成立不足三年的企業完成億元級融資，甚至有極年輕的公司衝刺上市。這種「早期公司快速進入資本市場」的現象，反映出行業商業化信心正在增強。與此同時，硬件技術成熟的企業，正探索從工廠到主題樂園、體育賽事、文旅演藝等多元落地；而「機器人大腦」能力突出的企業，則加速進入工業、物流等高價值場景。在此趨勢下，首程控股憑藉「投資+場景」雙輪驅動優勢，不僅能在一級市場捕捉潛力標的，更能利用智慧交通、產業園區、基礎設施運營等資源，將被投企業技術快速嵌入真實場景，形成商業閉環。例如，被投企業萬勳科技的自動充電機器人，已率先在首程運營的停車場落地，完成從概念到規模化運營的轉化。三、從人形元年走向交付元年大會現場，人形機器人已從單純的「吸睛」形象，轉向訂單競爭與交付能力比拼。投資機構普遍認為，2025-2026年將是「交付元年」，率先在場景中實現批量化落地的企業，將獲得估值與市場份額的雙重溢價。首程控股在大會期間亦明確了戰略判斷：未來的競爭不僅是技術較量，更是產業鏈協作、供應鏈韌性與商業模式驗證的綜合競爭。隨著行業逐步走向規模化應用，首程控股的全生態布局優勢將愈加明顯--既能在資本端持續賦能優秀企業成長，又能在運營端提供真實應用場景與商業化路徑，推動機器人產業從「實驗室」走向「大規模交付」，並最終反哺資本市場。Posted by All Way Success Company Limited for Shoucheng Holdings www.shouchengholdings.com [HKSE:0697, FRA:SHVA, OTCPK:SHNHF] Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

Chinese Culinary Culture Training Programme: 30 Hong Kong Students Embarked on a Study Tour in Chaoshan
HONG KONG, Aug 8, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - ‘A Thousand Years of Chaozhou Flavour, A Legacy Passed Down Through Generations.’ As one of the three major branches of Cantonese cuisine, Chaozhou cuisine is distinguished by its refined techniques and delicate seafood dishes, with an emphasis on the purity of flavour and meticulous preparation, all reflecting a deep-rooted cultural heritage. In this spirit, and to encourage the exchange of culinary skills, the Greater Bay Area Homeland Youth Community Foundation once again partnered with the Chinese Culinary Institute to launch the ‘Chinese Culinary Culture Training Programme — Chaoshan Edition’. From 26 July to 2 August, a group of about 30 students and faculty members travelled to Shantou to immerse themselves in the essence of Chaoshan cuisine and directly engage with its rich intangible heritage.Building on the success of last year’s ‘Lingnan Culture: Fengcheng Dim Sum Training Programme’, this year's initiative took students to another culinary heartland — Shantou. The programme was conducted in collaboration with Guangdong Yuedong Technician College, a prestigious institution known for cultivating master chefs in Cantonese cuisine, and was supported by the Teochew Cuisine Research Institutes. The classes, led by nationally and provincially accredited chefs, including the renowned Teochew culinary master ZHONG Chengquan, covered traditional techniques such as braising, boiling, stir-frying, steaming, stewing, baking, and deep-frying.

She noted that this invaluable opportunity to learn from master chefs not only enabled students to appreciate the essence of Chaoshan cuisine but also enhanced their comprehension of Chinese culture and strengthened their sense of national identity through meaningful engagement.Mr James YAP Han-phong, Principal of the Chinese Culinary Institute, shared, ‘Chaoshan cuisine emphasises precision in knife skills, heat control, and balanced ingredient pairing. Through hands-on learning and exchanges with experienced chefs, students not only refined their culinary techniques but also deepened their appreciation of Chinese food culture. This experience broadened their horizons and laid a solid foundation for their future professional growth.’Mr CHEN Shaojun, Founder of the National-level Chaoshan Cuisine Culinary Master Studio at Guangdong Yuedong Technician College, remarked, ‘Chaoshan cuisine embodies a craftsmanship spirit passed down through generations. The enthusiasm and dedication displayed by the Hong Kong students during the programme are inspiring. We look forward to future collaborations that will further promote Chaoshan culture and introduce it to a broader stage.’XU Kin Cheung, a year 2 student from the Chinese Culinary Institute's Diploma in Chinese Cuisine (QF Level 3) programme who participated in this training, shared, ‘This experience enhanced my knowledge of Chaoshan cuisine, from its precise cooking techniques to its refined approach to flavour. I hope to incorporate these insights into my own creations back in Hong Kong and help more people discover the unique charm of Chaoshan culinary culture.’Through the Chinese Culinary Culture Training Programme, the GBA Youth Community Foundation aims not only to enhance the skills of young people pursuing careers in the culinary arts, but also to foster their appreciation for and commitment to preserving and promoting the richness of Chinese culinary heritage.Ms Dionne Kung, Deputy CEO of the Greater Bay Area Homeland Youth Community Foundation visited the training site to offer encouragement to the students.Students from the Chinese Culinary Institute demonstrated dedication and enthusiasm during the training programme.This programme is in collaboration with Guangdong Yuedong Technician College, Mr James Yap Han-phong, Principal of the Chinese Culinary Institute, also visited the training site to engage with college representatives and culinary instructors.Students also took part in cultural learning activities, including a live performance of the Yingge Dance, one of China’s intangible cultural heritage traditions.

From Food Culture to Future Living: Shiology Makes Splash at HK Book Fair
HONG KONG, Aug 8, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The 35th Hong Kong Book Fair was held at Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre from July 16 to 22, 2025. Organized by Hong Kong Trade Development Council, this year's theme was "Food Culture • Future Living." The event brought together publishers, authors, and readers to promote a culture of reading.Sino United Publishing's subsidiaries, including Joint Publishing (H.K.) , Chung Hwa Book Company (H.K.), and The Commercial Press (H.K), participated in the exhibition, leasing over 200 booths and showcasing nearly 1,000 new titles, offering readers a rich literary feast.Readers at the Booth of Joint Publishing (H.K.)Among the titles exhibited by Joint Publishing, one book stood out for its alignment with the fair's theme—Shiology, which garnered significant attention. Published in Hong Kong in 2025. the monograph introduces the definition of a new discipline system, shiology, its research subject, objectives, disciplinary system and its subfields, fundamental principles, and research value, covering all aspects of human food+eating affairs.Shiology at Hong kong Book FairIn today's world of rapid technological advancement and as the 2030 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals draw near, approximately 673 million people worldwide still struggle with hunger. The root cause lies in the lack of a comprehensive and holistic understanding of food-related issues. Shiology integrates fragmented and compartmentalized knowledge of food+eating affairs into a unified framework, aiming to holistically address humanity's current food challenges by examining three key dimensions: eaters' needs, food acquisition, and shi order.In delineating the epistemological framework of shiology, the monograph establishes a foundational lexicon for the discipline, such as "eater," "shiance" (a combination of shi and -ance, with shi referring both food and eating in Chinese), "shiology" (a combination of shi and -ology), and "shiorder" (a combination of shi and order). An “eater” refers to humans conceptualized through the lens of dietary needs, including all humans dependent on food, irrespective of age, gender, occupation, preference, etc. “Shiance” refers to the phenomena and human activities of food acquisition and its proper utilization. It includes wide range of practices and processes, including wild food utilization, food domestication, distribution, processing, consumption, as well as those related to laws, economy, administration and education so as to maintain shiorder. “Shiology” is a unified knowledge system that reveals the laws governing shiance, addresses its systemic challenges, analyzes the relationship between humans and food systems, and traces the historical evolution of shiance-related behaviors. “Shiorder” refers to the logic and continuity of human shiance behaviors, formally termed "shiance order". It serves as the foundation of social order—if shiorder collapses, so does social order. Improving shiorder can drive the progress of social civilization.The monograph includes numerous additions and revisions compared to its simplified Chinese edition published in mainland China in 2020, making it the most comprehensive academic work on shiology to date. It will help promote the discipline's concepts and holistic governance solutions worldwide, contributing to the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals and systematically addressing global hunger.The author, Liu Guangwei, is the director of the Research Center for Shiology at Renmin University of China, the founder of the shiology discipline system, chairman of the World Shiology Forum (WSF), and president of Beijing Shiology Research Institute. He entered the catering industry in 1983 and established the WSF in 2017, organizing four international conferences and releasing outcomes such as the Awaji Island Declaration and the Hainan Initiative.

消費場景持續豐富 鍋圈計劃五年內達成第二個萬店目標
香港，2025年8月8日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 近日，中國領先且快速增長的在家吃飯餐食產品品牌鍋圈食品（上海）股份有限公司（2517.HK）發佈2025年中期業績。上半年收入32.4億元，同比增長21.6%；淨利潤1.9億元，同比大增122.5%；核心經營利潤增長52.3%，淨利率提升至5.9%。同時，鍋圈首次派發中期股息，派息金額為人民幣1.9億元，加上將派付的2024年度末期股息人民幣1.98億元，以及截至目前已回購股份人民幣1.11億元，預計2025年度的股東回報金額將超過人民幣4.99億元，同比增長130.7%。值得注意的是，鍋圈本次派息金額與淨利潤金額基本相同，市場普遍認為此舉表明了管理層對股東回報的堅定承諾和對未來發展的充分信心。新店老店兩手抓 消費場景拓展極具增長空間除了開設新門店外，優化存量門店更能帶動業績可持續增長，符合長遠發展策略。與之前「以店換量」不同，鍋圈上半年把工作重點放在了存量門店的運營效率上。管理層於推介會上表示，2024年鍋圈共有約4,000家門店營業額並無增長，但在上半年的努力下，已有約3,000家門店重回增長趨勢。截至今年6月底，鍋圈門店總數為10,400家，同比淨增740家。鍋圈透露，下半年將加速門店拓展，計劃在農貿場景、社區場景、鄉鎮場景等四大場景同步開拓，預計未來五年內達成第二個萬店目標。同時鍋圈將致力於拓展從低頻到高頻、從休閒餐飲到正餐、從晚餐到午餐到早餐的不同消費場景，可見未來發展極具想象空間。深耕會員生態 超5,000萬會員構建堅實基本盤在門店和消費場景不斷拓展的基礎上，鍋圈註冊會員數量已突破5,000萬大關，同比大幅增長62.8%，為未來發展奠定堅實的用戶基本盤。同時，不僅僅是會員數量多，近6億元的會員預付卡預存金額更是鎖定了持續的消費動能，其37.2%的亮眼增長充分展現了用戶粘性的增強。鍋圈表示，註冊會員數量有望在下半年突破6,000萬。為強化會員粘性，鍋圈多管齊下，豐富會員權益與積分商城，舉辦「會員日」和「社區鄰居節」等活動激發到店熱情，更圍繞品牌IP「鍋寶」創作內容拉近用戶距離。這套流量轉化+深度運營的組合策略，成功將海量用戶轉化為高粘性忠實客群，讓會員變粉絲，讓粉絲變鐵粉，為全國門店注入穩定客流和增長活力。深化上游佈局 擬建海南生產基地加強供應鏈優勢收入增長前景廣闊，但如何保證利潤才是大部分企業面臨的難題。鍋圈通過深化上游鏈佈局，持續提升其議價能力，不斷釋放規模效應，持續優化產品成本，為公司利潤提供了強力後盾。鍋圈目前已擁有7家專業食材生產廠，包括3家調味料產品廠、3家丸滑及水產類產品廠以及1家牛肉產品廠。為進一步拓展覆蓋範圍並提升業務便利性，鍋圈近期宣佈擬投資人民幣4.9億元在海南儋州新建食品生產基地。鍋圈憑藉其前瞻性的戰略佈局，已經走出了一條穩健且長遠的發展道路。這份中期業績向市場證明，鍋圈持續增長的潛力並非空談，而是已經正式啓動的「引擎」，將為公司業績帶來持續且可觀的增長動力。展望未來，鍋圈將重點拓展下沉市場，並利用海南基地優勢，進一步強化供應鏈垂直整合，提升規模效應，提升產品競爭力。同時，鍋圈還將探索海外市場，輸出供應鏈能力，傳遞中國美食文化，開啟全球業務佈局的新篇章。 Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.
Team Mitsubishi Ralliart Conducts Shakedown Ahead of Asia Cross Country Rally 2025: Targeting First Overall Championship in Three Years
Team Mitsubishi RalliartTOKYO, August 7, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (hereafter, Mitsubishi Motors) announced that Team Mitsubishi Ralliart, which receives technical support from the company, will compete in the upcoming Asia Cross Country Rally (AXCR) 2025 scheduled for August 8 to 16 in Thailand1. The team will enter three Triton2 pickup trucks, aiming for its first overall championship in three years.In early June, the team conducted high-load endurance tests simulating actual rally conditions on off-road courses around Khao Yai National Park in central Thailand, covering distances that exceeded the expected length of this year's Special Stages. Throughout the testing, the team fine-tuned the suspension and other chassis components, while also verifying the reliability and durability of the engine and body.On August 5, three days before the start of the rally, the team carried out a shakedown at a test course in Thailand to check each part of the vehicle, ensuring it is in optimal condition for the 2025 competition."Building on the significant upgrade in driving performance last year, the Triton rally car has undergone further enhancements for this year's AXCR," said Hiroshi Masuoka, team director of Team Mitsubishi Ralliart. "In addition to increasing engine torque and improving durability, we have refined the chassis to enhance both steering stability during high-speed cornering and reliable traction in muddy terrain. The rally will take place in northeastern Thailand, a landscape with sprawling plantations and flat dirt roads. This means we can expect high-speed racing, and I am confident that our refined chassis will demonstrate its strengths. One of our rally cars serving as a support vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission (AT). We aim to successfully navigate the harsh conditions of the AXCR, verify the durability and reliability of the AT model, and gather feedback to apply to our future vehicle development. I hope we can showcase the strength and audacity of Mitsubishi Motors-ness by reclaiming the overall victory for the first time in three years."Overview of AXCR 2025This year marks the 30th anniversary of the AXCR, drawing a significantly larger number of participants - 93 vehicles in total: 47 in the Auto category, 44 in the Moto category, and 2 in the Sidecar category. The rally will kick off with a ceremonial start at Walking Street in the city of Pattaya, one of Thailand's major tourist destinations on the east coast of the Gulf of Thailand. The rally proper begins with Leg 1 to Prachin Buri, approximately 130 kilometers from Bangkok. Leg 2 runs from Prachin Buri to Khao Yai, one of Thailand's leading highland resort areas, while Leg 3 takes place within Khao Yai. Leg 4 returns to Prachin Buri, and the rally will remain in the Prachin Buri area for Legs 5 and 6. In Leg 7, the rally returns to the starting point in Pattaya, and on the final day, Leg 8 finishes at the Bali Hai Pier in Pattaya.Overview of Team Mitsubishi Ralliart Support CarsFour Delica D:5s will once again assist Team Mitsubishi Ralliart as support cars. Team engineers will wait for the rally cars at the Passage Controls located along the course and perform maintenance on the cars returning from the Special Stages. This means that the support cars carrying the team director and engineers must be able to reach their destinations without fail, regardless of road conditions.The Delica D:5 is an all-around minivan featuring a robust body with a rib-bone frame and an electronically-controlled 4WD system that provides optimal maneuverability and road handling in a variety of weather and road conditions. Having operated as the support car for Team Mitsubishi Ralliart in the AXCR since 2023, it will once again be used this year by Team Director Hiroshi Masuoka to inspect the rally course. In order to enhance handling on rough terrain, the vehicle is equipped with an aluminum engine guard and is lifted by approximately 20 millimeters using dedicated front and rear suspension.The support cars will also share the same livery as the Triton rally cars this year, featuring the team's signature energetic red and a digital sandstorm graphic that evokes swirling dust, stretching from the front to the center of the vehicle. The Ralliart logo is displayed on both sides of the body.Updates on the rally will be posted on Ralliart's official Instagram account. https://www.instagram.com/ralliart.official/AXCR Special Website: https://www.mitsubishi-motors.com/en/brand/ralliart/axcr/axcr2025/1.

HKTDC to release report on Hong Kong Businesses Navigating Mainland China E-commerce Retail Market – Consumer Survey Results
- 78% of respondents had bought Hong Kong products online in the past year particularly young consumers and those in areas with higher consumption levels.- Online shoppers hold positive views of Hong Kong products and brands, giving an average score of 8.7 to Hong Kong products.- Genuine products, reputable merchants and wide product selection are the most important considerations for respondents, over low prices and other factors when purchasing online.- Mainland online shoppers mostly buy electronic, luxury and fashion goods from Hong Kong.HONG KONG, Aug 7, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) released the research report: Hong Kong Businesses Navigating Mainland China E-commerce Retail Market - Consumer Survey Results. The results show that Mainland online shoppers generally like Hong Kong products. Overall, 78% of respondents had bought Hong Kong products online in the past year. Mainland consumers have a high level of trust in Hong Kong brands and hold products in high regard. This provides a solid foundation for Hong Kong businesses to expand into the Mainland e-commerce market. Hong Kong businesses can leverage the advantage of Hong Kong brands and choose suitable platforms for e-commerce sales. The upcoming release of the E-commerce Case Studies report will focus on ways to develop e-commerce retail sales and serve as a reference for Hong Kong businesses looking to expand their market in the Mainland.HKTDC Director of Research, Irina Fan, said: “Mainland consumers shop online frequently, averaging 9.4 purchases per month. This is particularly true for those in tier-one and Greater Bay Area (GBA) cities. When shopping online, Mainland consumers’ primary consideration is whether the products are genuine, not low prices. This suggests that Hong Kong businesses can leverage the superior quality of Hong Kong products and the strong reputation of Hong Kong brands in Mainland China to expand into the Mainland e-commerce market. They can flexibly use comprehensive shelf and ‘interest-based’ e-commerce platforms to sell online along with methods such as live-streaming and short videos for promotion, and stand out in the highly competitive market through targeted marketing strategies.”HKTDC Research commissioned an agency to conduct a survey of 2,200 middle-income or above consumers from different Mainland cities during the second and third quarters of 2024. The aim was to learn about their online consumption habits, as well as their preferences regarding Hong Kong products. The findings will help Hong Kong companies better formulate appropriate strategies to tap the Mainland e-commerce retail market.Online shopping characteristics of Mainland consumers- Mainland consumers shop online frequently, averaging 9.4 purchases per month. This is particularly true for those in tier-one cities. Shopping frequency among women (10 times monthly) is higher than for men (8.8 times). By age group, consumers aged 30-49 demonstrate the highest online shopping frequency, averaging 11.2 purchases per month.- Comprehensive e-commerce platforms are the predominant online shopping channel, with 95% of respondents using comprehensive/digital shelf e-commerce platforms to shop online. This figure far exceeds the use of live-streaming/short video platforms (38%) and group buying platforms (32%). In terms of online shopping for cross-border or imported products, consumers prefer to use Tmall International or JD International, with 73% and 63% respectively choosing these platforms. Other notable platforms include Douyin E-commerce Global (30%) and Amazon China (21%).- Authenticity, wide selection and reputation are top considerations for online shopping. An authenticity guarantee policy (15%), reputable merchants (11%) and wide product selection (9%) are the top three considerations for respondents when purchasing online.- “Promotion” is the most important factor for consumers when buying newly-launched products online. Nearly 90% of respondents cited “promotion” as their primary consideration, followed by product quality and design (70%).- Mainland consumers demand quick delivery. Mainland online shoppers, on average, get their products 3.2 days after placing an order, with fast fulfilment a key competitive advantage in winning over local consumers.Wing Chu, Principal Economist (Greater China) of HKTDC, said: “Although online purchasing power currently clusters around tier-one and tier-two cities, the tier-three cities are becoming a focus for Hong Kong companies. Furthermore, irrespective of whether they are shopping locally or from further afield, consumers generally demand quick delivery, and their expectations in this regard continue to rise. The Hong Kong products that Mainland consumers most like to buy online are consumer electronics and electrical products (72%), followed by luxury goods (46%) and fashion products (41%).” It’s worth noting that Mainland consumers who purchase Hong Kong products online tend to spend a higher average order amount on children's products, drugs and health supplements, and pet products compared to the overall average.”Hong Kong products favored by Mainland Consumers- Mainland online shoppers generally like Hong Kong products, particularly those in areas with higher consumption levels. Overall, 78% of respondents had bought Hong Kong products online in the past year. The proportion was 85% in tier-one cities, 81% in the Greater Bay Area, 78% in tier-two cities and 74% in tier-three cities.- Hong Kong products are more favoured by young consumers. In terms of age distribution, 83% of respondents in the 18-29 age group said they had bought Hong Kong products online in the past year. This was closely followed by consumers aged 30-49 (82%), while the proportion among consumers above 50 years old was lower (65%).- Female consumers in high-consumption areas tend to prefer Hong Kong products. While overall gender differences are minimal – 77% of male and 79% of female respondents reported purchasing Hong Kong products – the trend varies by region. In tier-one and tier-two cities, and in the GBA, significantly more female consumers have bought Hong Kong products online.- Mainland online shoppers hold positive views of Hong Kong products, brands and online stores. The respondents gave an average score of 8.7 to Hong Kong products when compared with other products. Respondents from tier-three cities gave the highest score of 9.2. In terms of age, consumers aged 18-29 gave Hong Kong products the highest rating of 8.9.- Mainland online shoppers mostly buy electronic, luxury and fashion goods from Hong Kong. The Hong Kong products that Mainland consumers most like to buy online are consumer electronics and electrical products (72%), followed by luxury goods (46%) and fashion products (41%). The GBA has the highest proportion of consumers buying consumer electronics and electrical products (79%), followed closely by tier-one cities (78%). The proportion of consumers buying luxury goods in tier-one cities (53%), the GBA (52%) and tier-two cities (51%) are comparable.- Orders in food and drug sectors, and of products for children and pets, exceed the overall average. Among Mainland shoppers who have bought Hong Kong products online, the average order value for children’s goods is 24% higher than the average. Orders of drug and health products (16%), pet products (29%), and fresh produce and food (18%) are also significantly higher in value than the average.- The Hong Kong “brand” enjoys a good reputation in the Mainland market and is widely seen as a mark of trust and quality. When asked to describe Hong Kong merchandise, brands and products, respondents viewed products from Hong Kong as “in compliance with stringent product safety standards” (28%), “guaranteed raw material/material quality” (28%), “guaranteed genuine products” (27%), “confidence in quality” (27%) and “fashionable look” (27%).- Mainland consumers seek out official brand channels. Mainland consumers obtain information from official brand channels when choosing Hong Kong electronics and electrical products (31%), luxury items (34%), sports products (34%) and fashion products (26%). They rely heavily on product reviews when purchasing Hong Kong drug and health products (34%) and beauty products (32%) online.Eric Chu, Economist (Greater China) of HKTDC, said: “Based on case studies of e-commerce retailers and service providers in Mainland China, Hong Kong businesses might consider using multi-channel operation strategies. This includes leveraging both traditional digital shelves platforms and emerging ‘interest-based‘ platforms to reach different consumer groups and increase traffic. However, some cases show that while businesses can collaborate with influencers/KOLs for "influencer marketing," it's important to base these efforts on market analysis and data to select influencer endorsements that suit their products. This approach improves promotional accuracy and achieves cost-effective, optimal marketing results.”HKTDC will later release an additional report titled "Hong Kong Businesses Navigating Mainland China E-commerce Retail Market - Case Studies," which includes detailed case studies of e-commerce activities and service providers in Mainland China.The second Hong Kong Shopping Festival aims to help local businesses navigate Mainland China e-commerceThe second Hong Kong Shopping Festival, organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) will take place on Mainland e-commerce platforms from 1 to 31 August. Fully aligned with measures outlined in the 2024 Policy Address, the festival aims to support Hong Kong's small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as they expand into the Mainland e-commerce market. As the flagship event of HKTDC's E-commerce Express, the second Hong Kong Shopping Festival has attracted nearly 260 brands across seven major categories, including health supplements, food and beverages, home and living, personal care and cosmetics, apparel and accessories, smart gadgets, and products for the silver market.

However, international fulfillment has always felt a little off — like we were wearing running shoes for domestic shipping and wooden clogs for international. International shipping is inherently more complex, even before recent global tariff changes. Our previous partners could clear customs and complete deliveries, but the experience was not as frictionless or brand-centric as we wanted it to be for our clients.” “Do you believe Passport can prevent this friction?” “Absolutely. Passport has built a technology and logistics company focused solely on the needs of international e-commerce brands. Their backend systems are light years ahead of anything else we’ve seen. What’s even more impressive is their confidence — they don’t just promise good service; they take full responsibility by handling customer support for delivery issues on behalf of the brand. In a logistics environment where margins are razor thin, that commitment says everything about their capabilities and their technology stack.” “Beyond fewer issues in shipping, what other features made Passport stand out to IWS?” “The technology doesn’t just help us internally — it’s a powerful tool for our clients too. Brands can seamlessly integrate Passport’s systems into their own websites. They can display local currencies, like AUD for Australian shoppers, and give customers real-time, accurate shipping rates that include duties and taxes if they choose DDP. This reduces cart abandonment, eliminates unpleasant surprises at delivery, and ultimately protects brands’ margins by ensuring full transparency.” “Anything else your clients will benefit from?” “Definitely. For one, clients who first import goods into the U.S. and then re-export internationally can claw back a significant portion of previously paid duties and taxes — a huge financial advantage. Passport can even serve as the seller of record, making it easier to comply with country-specific tax regulations and reducing administrative burden for brands.” “Another major feature is the custom-branded tracking pages Passport offers. Instead of generic carrier tracking portals, brands can fully customize the tracking experience. They can embed promotions, videos, QR codes, or direct links to their social media pages, turning the shipping experience into a marketing channel. The tracking itself is more robust too, offering more scan events and better visibility, which minimizes customer anxiety and keeps the brand front and center during the entire delivery journey. No other carrier we’ve seen offers this level of integration and brand enhancement.” About Passport Passport is a modern international shipping carrier specializing in e-commerce logistics. Their services include comprehensive customs management, compliance support, localized customer service, and real-time tracking. With DDP services, Passport allows brands to offer upfront duty and tax payment options to international customers, eliminating unexpected fees and smoothing the delivery experience. Their DDU services provide additional flexibility for brands preferring recipient-based duty management. Serving over 220 global markets, Passport’s platform is built to make international shipping as seamless and brand-aligned as domestic delivery.

特朗普將在「未來幾天」會晤普京，克里姆林宮表示
(SeaPRwire) - 克里姆林宮一位高級助手表示，唐納德·川普將會見弗拉迪米爾·普丁，這將是多年來美國和俄羅斯總統首次面對面會晤。 「應美方提議，雙方已原則同意在未來數日內舉行最高層級的雙邊會晤，」週四俄羅斯新聞機構報導。 川普最近曾暗示會議可能很快舉行。他週三晚間在橢圓形辦公室表示：「我們今天與普丁總統進行了非常好的談話，很有可能我們將結束這一回合——這條路的盡頭。」 烏沙科夫表示，會議地點已經敲定，細節將稍後公布。他沒有說明這些資訊何時發布。 但烏沙科夫也淡化了可能舉行包括烏克蘭總統弗拉迪米爾·澤倫斯基在內的三方會談的可能性，這項提議是由川普的特使史蒂夫·維特科夫提出的。 維特科夫週三在莫斯科會見了普丁，川普稱這次會面是「一次富有成效的會議」。 烏沙科夫表示：「我們首先提議專注於準備與川普的雙邊會晤，我們認為這次會晤的成功和富有成效是最重要的。」 這項消息傳出之際，正值川普總統要求俄羅斯同意與烏克蘭達成停火協議，否則將面臨懲罰性制裁的最後期限。目前尚不清楚川普的停火期限是否仍然有效。 川普在7月14日曾被追問，如果普丁不顧其停火期限（原定9月2日，後提前至週五）而升級攻擊，他願意為捍衛烏克蘭付出多大代價。 他說：「我希望解決這場戰爭……我有一個問題，[副總統] J.D. [范斯]也有一個問題——雖然不是美國人死亡，但有很多人正在死去，而且是在一件應該解決的事情上。」 川普此前因其對普丁的態度而受到批評，西方官員指責普丁在談判中拖延時間，以允許俄羅斯軍隊佔領更多烏克蘭領土。 普丁一貫鮮少表示他願意做出讓步。 週四，俄羅斯在扎波羅熱和頓涅茨克地區發動夜間襲擊，導致烏克蘭全國至少六人死亡，另有35人受傷。 根據地區部門的說法，在過去24小時內，這些襲擊是扎波羅熱州12個定居點遭受的723次襲擊的一部分。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。
