SHENZHEN, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 31 October 2025 – In recent days, the Model (Aviation) Sport of the Mass Participation Events of the 15th National Games (NG) of China has held its finals in Longhua District, Shenzhen, which attracted aviation model enthusiasts from across the country. At the competition venue, players skillfully maneuvered their models between the sky and the ground, setting off a wave of excitement for aviation models that blends the charm of technology with the passion of sports.

Finals of the Model (Aviation) Sport of the 15th NG Mass Participation Events

The team competition of drone racing (F9U) was particularly intense, as 30 athletes from 10 teams representing Zhejiang, Jiangsu, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and other regions competed fiercely for the final medals. During the race, players wore specialized FPV goggles, which enable an immersive experience of “first-person piloting” sensation through real-time video transmitted from the drones’ cameras. On the meticulously designed three-dimensional track in Longhua District, Shenzhen, the athletes skillfully maneuvered their drones between the sky and the grass to swiftly fly through variously shaped obstacles such as double gravity gates and square single gates. The drones traced graceful arcs in the air, delivering breathtaking, millisecond-level aerial duels of speed and precision.

As the host district of this hotly contested competition, Longhua is witnessing new breakthroughs and opportunities in its low-altitude economy. Meituan drones deliver steaming-hot meals through the buildings in the Longhua Central Business District; emergency drones reduce the transport time for medical test samples from the original 20–30 minutes to just 3–7 minutes; and the Damoda drone formations paint dazzling digital artworks in night skies around the world, telling China’s stories through light. These once science-fiction-like scenes have become reality, brought to life by innovative enterprises from Shenzhen’s Longhua District.

According to the Longhua District Convergence Media Center of Shenzhen, Longhua District, as the first district in China to propose building a “pilot zone for the low-altitude economy,” has been seeking innovations in policies, technologies, and practical applications, striving to make the low-altitude economy a key driver of industrial development. By 2025, Longhua District has attracted 445 enterprises related to the low-altitude economy, forming a complete industrial chain that spans from manufacturing to services. Its low-altitude economy has even gained widespread attention in the world. With the number of drone flights in the district continuing to rise (to 225,000 in 2024) and the annual output value exceeding RMB 6 billion, the district has become a core area for the development of China’s low-altitude economy.

The event successfully concluded as it convened distinguished leaders from government, academia, and industry, reaffirming Hong Kong’s position as a world-class launchpad for innovation and a strategic bridge between Japan’s deep tech capabilities and Hong Kong’s globally connected innovation and technology (I&T) ecosystem.

HKSTP joins hands with the Consulate-General of Japan in Hong Kong, DEFTA Partners, and the Alliance Forum Foundation in Special Consultative Status with the United Nations ECOSOC to co-host today’s Japan-Hong Kong Innovation and Technology Forum. Amb Jun Miura, Consul-General of Japan in Hong Kong (Centre), Amb George Hara, Group Chairman & CEO, DEFTA Partners (2nd from left), Ms Lillian Cheong, Under Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry of the HKSAR (2nd from right), Prof Yutaka Matsuo, University of Tokyo (1st from left, and Mr Terry Wong, Chief Executive Officer of HKSTP (1st from right), officiates the event.

Among the distinguished guests were Ambassador Jun Miura, Consul-General of Japan in Hong Kong; Ms Lillian Cheong, Under Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry of HKSAR; Ambassador George Hara, founder of DEFTA Partners and advisor to HKSTP; Mr Terry Wong, CEO of HKSTP; and global AI expert Professor Yutaka Matsuo of the University of Tokyo.

Amb Jun Miura, Consul-General of Japan in Hong Kong, said: “The increasing importance of Hong Kong and HK-Shenzhen-Guangzhou cluster as a hub for innovation and technology based on their capital, information, universities and talent is becoming clear, especially as the pace of technological advancement, including AI, and changes in the business environment, accelerates.” He added: “Now is the time for Japan and Hong Kong to explore opportunities of collaboration in innovation and technology, based on their longstanding relationship. “,” I hope that the startups of Hong Kong will visit various parts of Japan and deepen their understanding of the various opportunities that Japanese local cities provide. Likewise, I would like to see more Japanese startups come to Hong Kong to seize opportunities. By doing so, hopefully both Japan and Hong Kong can grow together in the field of innovation and technology.”

Ms Lillian Cheong, Under Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry of the HKSAR, said that the Government has spared no efforts in devising support measures to promote the development of start-up ecosystem in Hong Kong, citing the $10 billion Research, Academic and Industry Sectors One-plus Scheme, the launch of the $180 million Pilot I&T Accelerator Scheme as well as the setting up of a $10 billion Innovation and Technology Industry-Oriented Fund and the relaxation of application threshold for the New Industrialisation Acceleration Scheme. She expressed confidence that Japanese I&T enterprises can benefit greatly from setting up footholds in Hong Kong with a view to tapping the vast Mainland and overseas markets.

Mr Terry Wong, CEO of HKSTP, said, “Our forum today exemplifies this spirit, bringing together Japan’s deep tech strength and Hong Kong’s global platform to unlock a new era of collaboration. At HKSTP, we are committed to enabling startups to go global while attracting international innovation leaders to land and scale in Hong Kong. To date, more than 150 tech enterprises have participated in nine major innovation events across Japan, generating over USD 5 million in commercialisation value through increased exposure and strategic partnerships.”

He added that HKSTP is fast-tracking the development of INNOPOLE, a new 20-hectare San Tin Technopole campus within the Northern Metropolis. This strategic initiative is designed to create a powerful economic engine, providing expansive space for AI development and Greater Bay Area collaboration. INNOPOLE will solidify Hong Kong’s position as the world’s premier gateway for innovation.

Amb George Hara, Group Chairman & CEO, DEFTA Partners, shared insights at the keynote speech, and said: “The momentum from today’s forum is a clear signal that the future of tech will be written through collaboration. We are committed to bring strategic alliance with Japanese corporates, leveraging DEFTA’s expertise to turn the promising sciences and technologies out of Hong Kong into the groundbreaking enterprises of tomorrow.”

As Chairman of the Alliance Forum Foundation, he said “Hong Kong serves as a pivotal junction between Japan, China and the United States, holding significant geopolitical importance. Should Japan’s industrial sector contribute to growth by commercialising new technologies emerging in Hong Kong universities and establishing technology industries, while introducing the concept of public-benefit capitalism to cultivate a prosperous middle class, Hong Kong could become a model city for the 21st century and set an example for many Asian cities. Fostering a prosperous middle class also contributes significantly to building democracy and peace. Everything hinges on what kind of city Hong Kong’s business leaders envision for its future”.

At the forum, panel discussions explored topics including artificial intelligence, investment, business collaboration, and bio-related technologies. These sessions brought together entrepreneurs, scientists, and industry leaders from Japan and Hong Kong to share insights and explore opportunities for mutual growth.

The Japan-Hong Kong Innovation and Technology Forum laid a strong foundation for future bilateral engagement, fostering ongoing collaboration and shared success. HKSTP continues to drive global expansion for Hong Kong startups through its “Attract In and Expand Out” strategy, and remains committed to deepening its alliance with Japanese stakeholders, leveraging collective strengths to drive innovation and co-create a dynamic I&T ecosystem that addresses global challenges and supports sustainable growth.

TVBS Original Drama The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Resonates in Tokyo

TOKYO, JAPAN – Media OutReach Newswire – 31 October 2025 – The TVBS original drama The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (舊金山美容院) continues to shine on the international stage. Following successful promotional events in Seoul with lead actors Simon Lien and Nash Zhang, the show’s on-screen rivals Johnny Yang and Chin Yang represented the series at the Tokyo International Film and TV Market (TIFFCOM).

TVBS Original Drama The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Resonates in Tokyo

Supported by Taiwan’s Overseas Star Project under the Ministry of Culture, the duo engaged with Japanese media and international buyers, sharing the series’ unique perspective on modern Taiwanese life. With its compelling storyline, powerful performances, and authentic depiction of everyday culture, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly resonated strongly with Japanese audiences—further cementing TVBS Originals as one of Asia’s leading creative brands.

In the series, Johnny Yang portrays Deng Wei-Kang, the ambitious second son of a powerful family whose reckless affairs—with both a TV executive’s daughter and his own secretary—alongside corrupt dealings with a tainted chicken supplier, spark a scandal that threatens the family’s breakfast-chain empire.

Off-screen, however, the two actors share an easy camaraderie. When asked about their favorite part of the Tokyo trip, both immediately mentioned the food.

“Tokyo is incredibly beautiful—I visited an art museum and went to Hakone,” said Chin Yang. “And the food is just amazing!”

“The best part of this trip,” added Johnny Yang, “was enjoying great meals while bringing a great Taiwanese drama to Japan.”

In the series, Deng Wei-Kang plans to open a Taiwanese breakfast shop in Japan—a storyline that later takes a surprising turn. When asked which Taiwanese dishes could win Japanese hearts, Johnny recommended steamed soup dumplings (xiaolongbao), soy milk, and fried dough sticks as iconic staples of Taiwan’s breakfast culture. Chin Yang suggested savory soy milk, calling it “a special and surprising flavor for Japanese audiences.”

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly premieres October 19 at 8:00 p.m. (GMT+8) on TVBS Channel 42 and TVBS E! on CHT MOD Channel 311, continuing its international journey to share authentic Taiwanese storytelling with the world.

Financial Street Forum held in Beijing, foreign consumers discuss new trend of turning to China for products

BEIJING, CHINA- Media OutReach Newswire – 31 October 2025 – The Annual Conference of Financial Street Forum 2025 was held in Beijing from October 27 to 30. During the four-day agenda, over 400 financial leaders, policymakers and industry experts from more than 30 countries and regions around the world gathered in Beijing’s Financial Street.

The core area of Beijing’s Financial Street, covering an area of 2.59 square kilometers, has witnessed and carried the process and achievements of China’s financial reform and development over the past three decades since it was approved by the State Council of China to be built as a national financial management center. As an important platform for the country’s opening up and development, the Financial Street Forum has been seen as a barometer of China’s financial reform and development. This year, top leaders of China’s financial sectors once again gathered at the opening ceremony of the conference, responding to hot issues from the outside world regarding the current situation of China’s economic development and the trends of the financial market.

At this year’s meeting, a new consumption trend has drawn attention. In recent years, the once-common practice of Chinese shoppers who buy goods overseas and resell them in China, known as daigou in Chinese, has given way to a new trend: more and more international consumers are now buying products from China to take home. This wave is rapidly emerging as a new force in global consumption.

Technology products have become the main items for foreigners to purchase in China. For instance, wireless headphones and phone cases are all bestsellers. Sheikh Fayaz Ahmad, an assistant professor at Zhejiang University International Business School, said in an interview that China has many economical and innovative products, such as vacuum cleaners and basic medical equipment, which he often bought when returning to India from China.

Ma Qing, Chief Representative of the Asia Pacific Region and Head of China Research of the Institute of International Finance (IIF), believed that international consumers buying products from China is actually a form of arbitrage, and the space for arbitrage depends on the price gap. The current situation might be like this: after the United States raised tariffs, the prices of goods in the United States are much higher than those in China, so people buy goods in China and take them to the United States.

EIT nursing graduate finds purpose in hospice care after loss of loved ones

33 seconds ago

EIT Bachelor of Nursing graduate Tiara Grayndler-Hollis’ journey to becoming a hospice nurse in Tairāwhiti was inspired by the two men who meant the most to her: her ‘papa’ and her father.

The 30-year-old mother of three (Ngāti Porou, Whakatōhea) began studying at EIT Tairāwhiti in 2022 after her ‘papa’ Hugh Grayndler, who she cared for, passed away the year prior.

Tiara Grayndler-Hollis (Ngāti Porou, Whakatōhea) graduated with a Bachelor of Nursing at EIT Tairāwhiti and is now working at Hospice Tairāwhiti.

“While caring for him, he mentioned that he wished I was his nurse,” Tiara said.

“When I lost him, I didn’t know what I was going to do because my days consisted of dropping my kids off and then going to him, caring for him and going home. So, I decided to study nursing to honour him.”

Midway through her studies, Tiara’s father Rob Hollis was diagnosed with cancer. She brought him home to care for him while continuing her degree.

“The team at EIT were incredible. They really supported me through that time. I was caring for Dad and still trying to study, and they made it possible.”

Her father passed away in March 2024.

It was during this time that Tiara was introduced to the work of Hospice Tairāwhiti. Her father was under their care, and the experience left a lasting impression.

“Seeing how the hospice team cared for Dad and our whānau really touched me. I saw another side of nursing, and it made me realise hospice was where my heart was. My ‘papa’ inspired me to become a nurse, and my dad guided me to hospice.”

She completed her final placement with the hospice team and made it clear that it was the only place she wanted to work.

“I told them I’d only put hospice down on my NETP (Nursing Entry to Practice Programme) application. I was lucky to have already built a connection with the team while they were caring for my dad.”

Now working as a hospice nurse, Tiara says the role allows her to continue honouring her ‘papa’ and father.

“I still feel connected to them here. I just enjoy being out there helping whānau towards the end of life, making sure their symptoms are controlled and they are not suffering.”

She was also able to put her skills to use towards the end of her uncle’s (Henry Hollis) life earlier this year.

“It felt like I was honouring my dad again.”

Before nursing, Tiara had considered a very different path. After finishing high school, she studied travel and tourism with dreams of becoming a flight attendant. Plans to join the Air Force with her cousin were then put on hold when she became a mother.

During her time at EIT, Tiara explored different areas of nursing, including geriatric nursing and mental health. A placement at Te Waharoa, a service grounded in te ao Māori, left a strong impression. But it was her father’s hospice journey that ultimately shaped her direction.

She now balances her work with raising her three children, aged eight, seven and five.

“I love what I do. The hours fit around my kids, and I get to make a difference every day. It is a privilege.”
Reflecting on her studies, Tiara says EIT Tairāwhiti’s small classes and supportive environment made all the difference.

“It’s such a whānau-based place. The tutors are understanding and genuinely care about your family life. If you have tamariki, EIT Tairāwhiti is definitely the place to study.”

EIT Senior Nursing Lecturer Adrianna Grogan said: “Tiara’s life experiences with the losses of whānau prior to beginning the Bachelor of Nursing programme and during the programme have shaped the registered nurse she is today”.

“Through challenging situations, Tiara remained committed and focused on her studies and her ultimate goal of becoming a registered nurse. It was with great pride that I watched Tiara walk across the stage at her graduation, carrying her father’s photo and knowing that when you are committed to what you are doing, you can achieve your dream.”

EIT graduate giving back through rural nursing

EIT Bachelor of Nursing graduate Jaedi Davies (Te Aitanga a Hauiti, Ngāti Porou) is giving back to her East Coast community through her work with iwi-based health provider Ngāti Porou Oranga.

Motivated by her 11-year-old son’s medical challenges and a desire to serve her iwi, Jaedi returned home to pursue nursing, completing her degree a year before her 40th birthday.

EIT Bachelor of Nursing graduate Jaedi Davies (Te Aitanga a Hauiti, Ngāti Porou) is helping deliver healthcare on the East Coast through her role with iwi-based provider Ngāti Porou Oranga.

“I’ve been around the healthcare system for a while with my son who has been medically unwell pretty much his whole life. It was kind of a no-brainer. I wanted to give back to my iwi and show my children that no matter where you live or what obstacles you face, you can achieve your goals.”

After finishing high school in Tairāwhiti, Jaedi joined the army before moving to Australia. The 39-year-old mother of two moved back home in 2019.

She began her studies at EIT Tairāwhiti in 2022 with the NZ Certificate in Study and Career Preparation before enrolling in the three-year Bachelor of Nursing.

Despite disruptions, including the lingering effects of COVID-19 and the devastation caused by Cyclone Gabrielle, Jaedi found strong support from EIT staff and her classmates.

“The tutors were really helpful. They gave me options, but I chose to persevere through it all.”

Jaedi says the highlight of her studies was not just graduating but doing so alongside her classmates.

“We all started together in year one and walked across the stage together. That was really special.”

Her final-year placement with Ngāti Porou Oranga led directly to her current role.

Now part of the New Entry to Practice (NETP) programme, she helps deliver healthcare in Ngāti Porou.

“We live so rural, and we don’t have a lot of clinicians. It’s about encouraging the next generation to come through and take over from those who won’t be here forever.”

EIT Senior Nursing Lecturer Adrianna Grogan said: “From her commencement on the Bachelor of Nursing programme Jaedi Davies (JD) demonstrated true passion and an absolute commitment to becoming a registered nurse”.

“JD lived up the East Coast and would travel daily in all sorts of weather to attend class. She was committed to her studies and a great supporter of the other students in her class. Throughout her clinical placements, JD received high praise from preceptors especially for her commitment to Māori patients.

“I am immensely proud of JD and what she has achieved and to know she is back working with her iwi is so special.”

This morning, the Otago Lakes Central Organised Crime Team executed a search warrant as part of an ongoing Operation, targeting the supply of Methamphetamine within the community.

This arrest is the culmination of significant and complex work by the Otago Lakes Central Organised Crime Team.

Drug dealing and the downstream effects, such as drug-related crime, causes harm that we all feel and we will continue to stamp out drug dealing wherever we become aware of it.

We would like to thank the members of the public who have provided us with information and continue to appeal to anyone who has concerns about illicit drugs within the community to please contact Police as the information we receive from the public tells us where we need to be and assists us in preventing ongoing harm within our communities.
