AliExpress to Hold Brand Globalization Conference in Hangzhou on Jan 7, Seemingly Challenge to Amazon

AliExpress, a subsidiary of BABA-W (09988.HK), released a poster with a “boxing duel” theme, displaying two boxing gloves, one black and one red, clashing violently, with the caption “See You in Hangzhou on January 7”.

The red and black boxing gloves in the poster correspond to the brand colors of AliExpress and Amazon, respectively, suggesting that AliExpress is openly challenging Amazon, Chinese media reported, citing industry insiders.

AliExpress will purportedly hold a Brand Globalization Conference in Hangzhou on January 7, 2026, inviting mainly large sellers who stock up for overseas markets. Meanwhile, Amazon's annual merchant conference had been previously held in Hangzhou.

CNOOC Limited Announces A Hundred-Million-Ton Oilfield Discovery of Qinhuangdao 29-6 in Bohai Sea

HONG KONG, Dec. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- CNOOC Limited (the "Company", SEHK: 00883 (HKD Counter) and 80883 (RMB Counter), SSE: 600938) today announces that the Company has made a major oilfield discovery of Qinhuangdao 29-6 in the shallow Neogene formations of the Bohai Sea, which adds over a hundred million tons of oil equivalent in-place.

Qinhuangdao 29-6 Oilfield is located in central Bohai Sea. The main oil-bearing play is Neogene Minghuazhen Formation, characterized by shallow burial depth. The oil property is medium-heavy crude. The discovery well was drilled and completed at a depth of 1,688 meters, which encountered a total of 66.7 meters oil pay zones and was tested to produce approximately 2,560 barrels of crude oil per day. Through continued exploration, the proved in-place volume of Qinhuangdao 29-6 Oilfield has exceeded 100 million tons of oil equivalent.

Mr. Xu Changgui, the Chief Geologist of the Company, said, "CNOOC Limited has made a significant discovery through enhanced research on hydrocarbon migration and accumulation models in shallow Neogene slope zones, coupled with technological innovation. This achievement challenges the conventional understanding that slope areas merely serve as pathways for hydrocarbons rather than sites for substantial accumulation. It further highlights the considerable exploration potential of uplifted peripheral slopes in settings influenced by intense extensional–strike-slip faulting."

Qinhuangdao 29-6 Oilfield is the second one-hundred-million-ton-class lithological oilfield discovered in the mature exploration area of the Shijiutuo Uplift, further highlighting the value of fine exploration and consolidating the resource base for increasing reserves and production for the Company.

再鼎醫藥宣布同類首創藥物呫諾美林曲司氯銨膠囊(凱捷樂®)在中國獲批用於治療精神分裂症

呫諾美林曲司氯銨膠囊是數十年來精神分裂症治療領域的首個重大進展,其創新機制有別於現有療法

呫諾美林曲司氯銨膠囊已被納入中國精神分裂症防治指南,凸顯了中國對新型治療方案的迫切需求。

上海和馬薩諸塞州劍橋2025年12月23日 /美通社/ -- 再鼎醫藥有限公司(納斯達克股票代碼:ZLAB;香港聯交所股份代號:9688)今日宣布,中國國家藥品監督管理局(NMPA)已批准呫諾美林曲司氯銨膠囊(凱捷樂®)[1]的新藥上市申請,用於治療成人精神分裂症。呫諾美林曲司氯銨膠囊是70余年來[2]首個獲批的具有全新作用機制的精神分裂症療法,為精神分裂症治療帶來了根本性突破。不同於傳統靶向多巴胺的抗精神病藥物的機制,呫諾美林曲司氯銨膠囊通過選擇性作用於大腦中的毒蕈鹼型乙酰膽鹼能M1和M4受體影響核心疾病通路。

精神分裂症是一種慢性且常導致殘疾的精神疾病,會影響患者的思考、感受和行為方式。精神分裂症的核心症狀包括陽性症狀(如幻覺和妄想)、陰性症狀(如動機和愉悅感缺失以及社交退縮)和認知症狀(如記憶、注意力和決策方面的缺陷)。在中國盡管已有抗精神病療法,許多患者仍面臨症狀改善不足及難以耐受的副作用問題。

再鼎醫藥總裁、全球研發負責人Rafael G. Amado博士表示:「我們很高興呫諾美林曲司氯銨膠囊獲得NMPA的批准,這標志著中國精神分裂症治療迎來突破性進展,中國約有800萬成人精神分裂症患者[3],許多人持續受到症狀或現有療法副作用的困擾。憑借廣泛的症狀改善作用和獨特的安全性,呫諾美林曲司氯銨膠囊有望重新定義精神分裂症的治療模式,我們期待盡快將這一變革性療法帶給患者。」

首都醫科大學附屬北京安定醫院院長、呫諾美林曲司氯銨膠囊中國Ⅲ期臨床研究的主要研究者王剛教授表示。「呫諾美林曲司氯銨膠囊是數十年來首款獲批用於治療精神分裂症的全新作用機制藥物,在改善陽性症狀、陰性症狀和認知症狀方面均展現出有效性,同時避免了其他抗精神病藥物常見的諸多不良反應,例如體重增加、高泌乳素血症以及錐體外系症狀等運動障礙,為患者提供了具有重要意義的新選擇。」

NMPA此次批准呫諾美林曲司氯銨膠囊是基於在中國開展的Ⅰ期藥代動力學研究、中國的Ⅲ期臨床研究(ZL-2701-001)以及三項全球EMERGENT臨床研究的數據支持。

今年9月,中華醫學會發布的《中國精神分裂症防治指南(2025年版)》已將呫諾美林曲司氯銨膠囊作為創新療法納入,這是該款藥物首次被收錄於國家級指南。

關於呫諾美林曲司氯銨膠囊(凱捷樂®

呫諾美林曲司氯銨膠囊(凱捷樂®)一種口服M1/M4型毒蕈鹼乙酰膽鹼受體激動劑和毒蕈鹼受體拮抗劑的組合。其正在開發用於治療精神疾病。與目前主要靶向多巴胺或5-羥色胺受體的抗精神病藥物相比,呫諾美林可激活中樞神經系統中與這些疾病相關腦區的毒蕈鹼受體。曲司氯銨不易穿過血腦屏障,其作用於外周,可減輕外周膽鹼能激活所帶來的不良反應。

再鼎醫藥從Karuna Therapeutics(被百時美施貴寶公司收購)獲得了在大中華區(包括中國內地、中國香港、中國澳門和中國台灣地區)開發、生產和商業化呫諾美林曲司氯銨膠囊的獨家授權。

關於精神分裂症

精神分裂症是一種慢性且經常使人致殘的精神疾病,它會影響人們的思考、感受和行為方式。它包括陽性症狀(如幻覺和妄想)、陰性症狀(如動機和愉悅感缺失以及社交退縮)和認知症狀(如記憶、注意力和決策方面的缺陷)三大核心症狀,這些都會嚴重影響功能。與一般人群相比,精神分裂症患者的預期壽命縮短了10-20年。精神分裂症在全球影響近2400萬人,最常用的治療為抗精神病藥物。不幸的是,許多精神分裂症患者在接受現有抗精神病藥物治療期間,仍然會面臨陰性症狀和認知症狀療效有限,或出現體重增加、高泌乳素血症以及被稱為錐體外系綜合征的運動障礙等副作用問題。由於這些問題,大約75%的患者在18個月內停止服藥。治療中止後,可能會導致包括復發、住院和更長的緩解時間等健康影響。

中國有約800萬精神分裂症患者,但目前使用抗精神病藥物的治療方案僅能有效改善部分患者的症狀。與全球患者一樣,大中華區也迫切需要更全面、更有效、更安全的治療方案來治療精神分裂症患者。

Fosun International Honored with TVB's Highest Accolade, "Outstanding ESG Award"

HONG KONG, Dec. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- On 19 December 2025, the TVB ESG Awards 2025 Presentation Ceremony, hosted by Television Broadcasts Limited ("TVB"), was held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center. Fosun International was honored with the highest accolade, the "Outstanding ESG Award", as well as awards for "Best in ESG Practices" and "Best in ESG Report".

Mr. Wong Wai Lun, Michael, GBS, JP, Deputy Financial Secretary of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR), Mr. Siu Sai Wo, General Manager (Business Operations) of TVB and Dr. Lawrence Cheung Chi-chong, Chief Technology Officer of Hong Kong Productivity Council served as officiating guests at the awards ceremony and jointly presented the "Outstanding ESG Award" to Fosun International.

TVB pointed out that Fosun International's recognition with the "Outstanding ESG Award", "Best in ESG Practices" and "Best in ESG Report" is well-deserved. After more than 30 years of development, Fosun has developed into a large global company with operations spanning healthcare, tourism, consumption, and insurance. With a robust global industrial ecosystem, Fosun operates responsibly in over 40 countries and regions, actively contributing to public welfare and creating sustainable value worldwide.

TVB highlighted that the awards recognize Fosun International's outstanding performance in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) and sustainability, while affirming its excellent achievements in ESG over the past year. Each award is presented to the top three scorers in their respective categories, with organizations excelling in both "ESG Practices" and "ESG Report" eligible for the highest accolade, the "Outstanding ESG Award".

In addition to Fosun International, other recipients of TVB's highest accolade, the "Outstanding ESG Award", are all organizations that have demonstrated excellence in ESG. These include government statutory bodies, major public utilities, and well-known companies such as the Airport Authority Hong Kong, MTR Corporation, Schneider Electric, China State Construction Development Holdings Limited, and Riskory Consultancy Limited.

Ms. Angel Sze, Company Secretary and Head of ESG Management Committee of Fosun International, accepted the "Outstanding ESG Award" on behalf of the company and subsequently joined representatives from other award-winning organizations in a panel discussion to share Fosun International's ESG practices and achievements.

Driven by innovation, committed to social contribution

During the discussion, Angel Sze remarked, "Fosun remains committed to innovation-driven development and globalization. Since its establishment, Fosun has stayed true to its original aspiration of 'Contribution to Society', striving to create positive societal impact through its operations. Taking our Health segment as an example, we target original innovation to address unmet clinical needs. By continuously strengthening our independent R&D and innovation capabilities, we strive to deliver higher-quality, more accessible, and more affordable medicines and services to patients."

Fosun adheres to an innovation-driven strategy, and the anticancer drugs developed by its Health segment have widely benefited cancer patients. Among them, HANSIZHUANG, an innovative anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody independently developed by Fosun, is the world's first anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody approved for the first-line treatment of small cell lung cancer (SCLC). To date, it has been approved for marketing in nearly 40 countries and regions, including China, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Singapore, and India.

Since the beginning of this year, Fosun has achieved multiple breakthroughs in the field of innovative drugs. HLX43, a PD-L1-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), is undergoing clinical studies for solid tumors such as non-small cell lung cancer and thymic carcinoma in countries including China, the United States, and Australia. Currently, no PD-L1 ADC has been approved globally, positioning HLX43 as a potential highly effective and safe broad-spectrum anticancer drug.

On 7 December, the National Healthcare Security Administration (NHSA) and the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security (MOHRSS) released the 2025 national medical insurance drug list, which includes multiple marketed products from Fosun Pharma. Moreover, the highly anticipated inaugural edition of the commercial insurance innovative drug list was unveiled, featuring Fosun Pharma's CAR-T cell therapy Yi Kai Da (ejilunsai injection). The successful inclusion of innovative drugs underscores national support for pharmaceutical innovation and paves the way for market promotion and patient access.

Fosun's innovation capabilities have also received high recognition from global pharmaceutical companies. On 9 December, Fosun Pharma announced that its subsidiary had entered into a license agreement with Pfizer, granting Pfizer exclusive worldwide license for the development, use, manufacturing, and commercialization of oral small-molecule glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists, including YP05002, and any products containing such oral small molecule GLP-1R agonists as an active ingredient.

At the same time, Fosun actively integrates global resources to accelerate the introduction of cutting-edge medical technologies in China, enhancing the accessibility and affordability of medical technologies. By the end of September 2025, over 480 Da Vinci surgical systems had been installed in more than 370 hospitals across the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong SAR, and Macau SAR, collectively serving over 810,000 patients.

Centering on "Health" as a global public issue, Fosun launched the Rural Doctors Program in 2017. Since its launch, the Program has supported 25,000 rural doctors and benefited 3 million rural families. It was honored as one of the United Nations Global Compact's "20 Cases of Private Sector's Sustainable Development in China for 20 Years", earning international recognition as a model for empowering rural healthcare.

Actively responding to climate change and attaching great importance to biodiversity conservation

With climate change being one of the most severe long-term risks, Fosun recognizes the importance of global cooperation to tackle this challenge. Fosun remains committed to advancing China's "dual carbon" goals by promoting carbon neutrality and energy conservation and emission reduction. In 2021, Fosun made a commitment to society – "strive to peak carbon emissions by 2028 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050". Fosun has formulated strategies for climate change mitigation and adaptation to align with the 1.5°C temperature control target set in the Paris Agreement.

The Group also actively encourages its member companies to carry out climate actions. In 2024, the Bund Finance Center (BFC), the Group's main office location in Shanghai and a landmark in Shanghai, was successfully included in Shanghai's first batch of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality pilot demonstration projects, becoming the only large-scale commercial complex exceeding 200,000 square meters on the list.

In 2024, Fidelidade, Fosun's insurance company in Portugal, established the Impact Center For Climate Change (ICCC), a knowledge center dedicated to climate change research. Through collaborations with external entities, including universities, research centers, and public institutions, it provides scientific insights on the impacts of climate change on society, particularly in the insurance industry.

In addition to actively addressing climate change, Fosun also places great importance on biodiversity conservation. Since 2018, the Lost Chambers Aquarium at Atlantis Sanya, a subsidiary of Fosun Tourism Group (FTG), has been dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating sea turtles in Hainan Province and its surrounding waters. As of 2024, the aquarium had rescued 24 sea turtles and held 6 sea turtle release events since its opening, returning 10 rehabilitated turtles to the ocean.

On 28 November, FTG hosted "Fosun Holiday Horizon 2026" at Atlantis Sanya, where it signed a partnership agreement with the Nanjing Institute of Environmental Sciences (NIES) of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment (MEE). The two parties will incorporate biodiversity conservation and habitat creation into Club Med resorts, jointly developing China's first "biodiversity resort" centered on the concept of "harmonious coexistence between humans and nature".

Empowering a sustainable future through globalization and innovation

Looking ahead, Fosun will remain focused on its core businesses, step up innovation efforts, and firmly advance its globalization strategy, creating greater value for shareholders, employees and society. At the same time, Fosun will continue to closely follow global sustainability trends, continuously refine its ESG management, actively respond to national strategies, ensure information security, promote technology innovation, implement "dual carbon" goals, participate in public welfare undertakings, and protect employees' rights and interests. Leveraging the resources and advantages of its global industrial ecosystem, Fosun endeavors to make a greater impact on sustainable development and continuously contribute to a better world.
