LOS ANGELES, US / BEIJING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 30 October 2025 – Hujing Digital Media & Entertainment Group (the “Company”), the cultural and entertainment subsidiary of Alibaba Group Holding Limited (HKEX: 9988), is accelerating its global talent strategy. The Company recently hosted its “2025 North America Talent Collaboration Roadshow” in Los Angeles, where it connected with young Chinese-language directors, screenwriters, and producers trained at top North American film schools. This event, spearheaded by Hujing Digital Media & Entertainment Group’s two flagship talent initiatives—the Hina International Young Directors Program and the ChunM Talent Program—marks the official launch of the Company’s talent development efforts overseas.

The summit brought together 35 up-and-coming creators, graduates of prestigious institutions like USC, UCLA, the American Film Institute, Chapman University, Columbia University, and NYU. Many of these talents have remained in the US post-graduation, working in film directing, screenwriting, or production, and have already earned recognition at international festivals such as Cannes and the Los Angeles Film Festival.

The event featured Jerry Li, President of Damai Entertainment, Hujing Digital Media & Entertainment Group; Yvonne Liu, Vice President of Youku, Hujing Digital Media & Entertainment Group, and Founder of the “ChunM Talent Program”; Eric Lin, General Manager, International Content Development Centre, Damai Entertainment; and Shirley Cao, Platform Cooperation Expert, The IP Cooperation & Content Development Center, Youku, and Coordinator of the “ChunM Talent Program”. These leaders shared insights on filmmaking and content creation with these talented. North American-based creators. The summit was moderated by Joe Zheng, International Development Consultant for the Hina International Young Directors Program, who holds degrees from Beijing Film Academy and USC and is a recipient of a Student Academy Award, among other international honors.

Jerry Li, President of Damai Entertainment, Hujing Digital Media & Entertainment Group, speaks at the summit

Jerry Li emphasized that the summit was designed to attract globally minded young creators, encouraging them to bring their commercial and technical expertise to the Chinese market. The aim is to accelerate the industrialization of Chinese cinema and produce content with international appeal. “In China, the entertainment and performing arts industries are still evolving, which is a huge opportunity for young creators,” he said. “We’re here in North America to connect with outstanding talent, bring fresh perspectives, and work with skilled professionals to shape the future of storytelling,” he added.

Li also highlighted the Hina International Young Directors Program, which supports emerging directors through three key avenues: providing director agency services, offering opportunities to work as second-unit directors on major projects, and incubating original IP projects. Mentored by renowned filmmakers Zhang Yimou, Huang Jianxin, and producer Bill Kong, the program had recruited 67 young directors from global film schools as of September 2025. Notable participants include Chen Xiaoyu and Zhang Yudi, whose debut features Gone with the Boat and The Midsummer’s Voice, have earned nominations and awards at festivals such as the Shanghai International Film Festival and Golden Rooster Awards.

Yvonne Liu, Vice President of Youku, Hujing Digital Media & Entertainment Group, and Founder of the “ChunM Talent Program,” speaks at the summit

Yvonne Liu discussed the evolving Chinese film and TV market, noting that while short-form content has surged, Youku continues to invest 90% of its efforts in long-form series. She highlighted that the Chinese market is undergoing a structural transformation, with audiences increasingly seeking richer narratives and deeper emotional engagement. The traditional model of passively waiting for creators to deliver is no longer sustainable, she argued, underscoring the need for a proactive ecosystem to identify and cultivate talent. This includes integrating industry resources, promoting cross-disciplinary collaboration, and encouraging creators to draw inspiration from real-world experiences to produce high-quality content.

This vision gave rise to the “ChunM Talent Program”, designed to address the industry’s talent gap. The program supports writers through initiatives like the “ChunM Roadshow”, which bridges the gap from concept to production, and the “Creation Camp”, which immerses screenwriters in real-world experiences for authentic storytelling. It also offers “Master Classes” and networking events to connect emerging and established creators. To date, the program has supported 27 new screenwriters and 25 high-potential projects, with six already in the development pipeline at Youku, significantly expanding China’s original storytelling landscape.

Liu expressed hope that the “ChunM Talent Program” will take root in Hollywood. “Youku is investing heavily in premium, shorter-format series, such as 8-to-12-episode projects modeled on American platforms, or 16-episode K-drama formats, or 18-to-24-episode Hong Kong-style structures,” she said. “Los Angeles isn’t just the heart of entertainment industry—it’s a storytelling crucible where stories are forged. We look forward to the extraordinary works born from the fusion of Eastern and Western cultures. True magic will be made when the epic imagination of the Classic of Mountains and Seas is infused into the three-act structure, and the serene melodies of traditional Chinese strings encounter the blockbuster rhythm of Hollywood.”

Joe Zheng, International Development Consultant, Hina International Young Directors Program, speaks at the summit

Joe Zheng addressed the challenges faced by some overseas-trained Chinese creators, who often struggle to fully integrate into foreign markets or adapt their skills to China’s industry. “What you learn in one market doesn’t always translate to another,” he said. “Young creators need to stay attuned to the preferences and needs of different audiences across markets and age groups to keep growing and creating content that resonates.”

Oxfam – A person from the richest 0.1% produces more carbon pollution in a day than someone in the bottom 50% produces all year

LiveNews Publisher

October 30, 2025

Source: Oxfam Aotearoa

Since 1990, the richest 0.1% have increased their share of total emissions by 32%, whilst the poorest half of humanity have actually seen their share fall by 3%.
If everyone emitted carbon like the richest 0.1%, the carbon budget – the amount of CO2 that can be emitted while avoiding climate disaster – would be used up in less than 3 weeks.
To stay within the limits of the 1.5°C threshold, the richest 0.1% would need to cut their per capita emissions by 99% by 2030.
A person from the world’s richest 0.1% emits over 800 kg of CO2 every day. Even the strongest person on earth could not lift this much. In contrast, someone from the poorest 50% of the world emits an average of just 2 kg of CO2 per day, which even a small child could lift.

Ahead of the major international climate conference COP30 in Belem, Brazil, new Oxfam research finds that the high-carbon lifestyles of the super-rich are blowing through the world’s remaining carbon budget – the amount of CO2 that can be emitted while avoiding climate disaster. The research also details how billionaires are using their political and economic influence to keep humanity hooked on fossil fuels to maximize their private profit.

The super-rich are not just overconsuming carbon, but also actively investing in and profiting from the most polluting corporations. Oxfam’s research finds that the average billionaire produces 1.9 million tonnes of CO2e a year through their investments. These billionaires would have to circumnavigate the world almost 10,000 times in their private jets to emit this much. Almost 60% of billionaire investments are classified as being in high climate impact sectors such as oil or mining, meaning their investments emit two and a half times more than an average investment in the S&P Global 1,200. The emissions of the investment portfolios of just 308 billionaires total more than the combined emissions of 118 countries.

“The climate crisis is an inequality crisis. The very richest individuals in the world are funding and profiting from climate destruction, leaving the global majority to bear the fatal consequences of their unchecked power,” said Amitabh Behar, Executive Director of Oxfam International.

The power and wealth of super-rich individuals and corporations have also allowed them to wield unjust influence over policymaking and water down climate negotiations. At COP29, 1,773 coal, oil, and gas lobbyists were granted badges, more than the 10 most climate-vulnerable nations combined. Multiple rich and high-emitting countries including the US, UK, France and Germany have watered down climate laws after large donations from anti-climate lobbyists.

“It is a travesty that power and wealth have been allowed to accumulate in the hands of a few, who are only using it to further entrench their influence and lock us all into a path to planetary destruction. The super-rich and the corporations they run have a deadly track record of bankrolling lobbyists, spreading climate disinformation, and suing NGOs and governments that try to stand in their way. We must break the chokehold of the super-rich over climate policy by taxing their extreme wealth, banning their lobbying and instead put those most affected by the climate crisis in the front seat of climate decision-making,” said Behar.

The emissions of the richest 1% are enough to cause an estimated 1.3 million heat-related deaths by the end of the century, as well as $44 trillion of economic damage to low- and lower-middle-income countries by 2050. The impacts of these climate damages will disproportionately impact those who have done the least to cause the climate crisis, particularly people living in the Global South, women, girls and Indigenous groups.

COP30 marks ten years since the Paris Agreement in 2015. During this period, the world’s richest 1% have burnt through more than twice as much of the carbon budget than the poorest half of humanity combined

Ahead of COP30, Oxfam calls on governments to cut the emissions and dismantle the political and economic power of the super-rich through:

Slashing the emissions of the super-rich and make the richest polluters pay, through taxation on extreme wealth, excess profits taxes on fossil fuel corporations, and supporting the UN Convention on International Tax Cooperation. A 60% tax on the total incomes of the richest 1% globally could cut carbon emissions equivalent to the total emissions of the UK and generate in the region of $6.4 trillion.
Curbing the economic and political influence of the richest by banning fossil fuel corporations from climate negotiations such as COP, implementing sustainability regulations for corporations and financial institutions, and rejecting trade and investment agreements like investor-state dispute settlements (ISDS) that put the interests of the super-wealthy above public good.
Strengthening the participation of civil society and Indigenous groups in climate negotiations and address the unequal impacts of climate change.
Adopting a fair-share approach to the remaining climate budget by committing to nationally determined contributions (NDCs) that reflect historical responsibility and capacity to act, and ensuring rich countries deliver ambitious climate finance.
Building an equal economic system that puts people and planet first by rejecting dominant neoliberal economics and moving towards an economy based on sustainability and equality.

Sudan – Mothers and children fleeing El Fasher under attack, hungry, and in desperate need of aid – Save the Children

After walking for four days to escape the escalating violence in El Fasher, Sudan, mothers arriving in Tawila in desperate need of aid recounted harrowing journeys, telling Save the Children how they were attacked by armed men on motorbikes and some robbed along the way.

Women who managed to escape with their children as fighting raged made the 70 km journey to Tawila without food or water and are now dependent on humanitarian assistance which was already stretched before the latest escalation in violence in North Darfur.

They have told Save the Children staff of how they were attacked on the perilous journey by armed men, with some witnessing their neighbours and relatives being killed in front of them, and others robbed of their belongings.

The city of El Fasher has been under siege for over 500 days. On Sunday media and local sources reported severe atrocities as the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) took full control of the city where aid workers are operating under extreme risk.

Aid agencies in a joint statement this week warned of imminent catastrophe in El Fasher and have called for unimpeded access for humanitarian and commercial supplies as well as safe and unimpeded passage for civilians wishing to leave the city.

More than 260,000 people – including an estimated 130,000 children – remain trapped inside the city, enduring famine-like conditions, a total collapse of health services, and no safe way out.

According to the United Nations, about 26,000 people have fled El Fasher. Communication channels remain down but credible accounts indicate summary executions of civilians attempting to flee as well as attacks on escape routes and house-to-house raids.

Saadiya-, a mother of three, from El Fasher, said:

“In El Fasher, we faced such difficulties and such circumstances. We lost family members, we lost neighbours, we lost everyone.

“We’ve been walking for the past four days from El Fasher. A group of motorbike riders met us on the way. They took our luggage and threw our clothes and belongings onto thorn bushes, scattering everything along the road. They took my money and even my phone! I was beaten-my ear still hurts.

“They beat [up] some people and battered them in front of us. They killed people and insulted us a lot.

“We were so hungry and thirsty. Since we arrived here, Alhamdulillah, there is food. They gave us dinner last night at 1 a.m., and this morning they gave us breakfast early.”

Awatif-, a mother of six, from El Fasher, fled with her six children and husband. She said there was no food and they survived on umbaz (animal feed) and porridge made from maize or flour. She said:

“We hid the children in trenches, and we ran into abandoned buildings during the attacks. After that, we just ate umbaz (animal feed). We have our children abroad who used to send us money [although] the money they send, no matter how much, when you have a lot of children to feed, it doesn’t do much.”

Save the Children has been rapidly scaling up operations, providing shelter, food, water and personal hygiene items, but has called for a rapid escalation in funding to meet the increasing needs.

The aid agency is calling for coordinated humanitarian action to protect civilians, restore access to essential services, and address the growing displacement crisis, with growing fears and concerns that Tawila could also come under attack.

Francesco Lanino, Deputy Country Director of Programmes and Operations for Save the Children in Sudan, said:

“The crisis in North Darfur is spiralling into a humanitarian catastrophe that the world cannot afford to ignore. Credible reports now speak of summary executions, door-to-door killings of civilians, and desperate families locked in a tightening siege with no way out. Children are starving, hospitals have shut down or been destroyed, and those who try to flee face extreme violence and unimaginable danger.

“Hundreds of thousands of children are at immediate risk of violence, hunger, and disease. We urgently call on all parties to agree to a ceasefire to respect international humanitarian law, and allow safe, unhindered humanitarian access ensure the safety of civilians and aid workers.”

Since the siege of El Fasher began in April 2024, Save the Children has significantly scaled up its humanitarian response across Tawila and Jabal Marra in Central and North Darfur. The organisation has reached over 224,000 internally displaced people fleeing violence and insecurity including providing support for newly arrived families, host communities, and conflict-affected populations.

In Tawila and across North Darfur, Save the Children is operating four health facilities and an expanding mobile health platform, while in Jabal Marra, we operate seven health facilities and three mobile clinics.

Activist Sector – Protest against weapons companies meeting at Parliament

There will be a noise protest outside of Parliament on Friday, 31 October at 8:30am against the meeting of major weapons companies including Lockheed Martin, Pratt & Whitney and Bell Textron in the Beehive. The protest is organised by Peace Action Wellington, Justice for Palestine and the Falastin Tea Collective.

“On Halloween, we can imagine nothing scarier than arms dealers freely roaming the halls of Parliament. These are the people delivering immense death and destruction to the people of Gaza right now. In particular, Lockheed jets have been delivery drivers for the thousands of bombs dropped on civilians, schools, hospitals and homes, ” said Valerie Morse, member of Peace Action Wellington.

“As Israel breaks the ceasefire and resumes murdering Palestinians, and the NZDF is deploying a ‘liaison officer’ to Israel to shore up the occupation’s shredded global legitimacy, the aerospace industry is meeting at Parliament to push their agenda of weapons sales to a government hungry for war.”

“The former Chief of Defence Force, Kevin Short, is now Lockheed’s Director of Strategy & Business Development. He is giving the keynote address, and his message will be ‘buy more weapons.’ Minister of War Judith Collins will be only too happy to oblige as she pushes forward with an aggressive pro-war, pro-genocide stance.’”

“The $12 billion weapons and military spending promised by this government is money to support US wars and by extension, Israel’s wars. These weapons companies keep us enthralled by the idea that we need to keep buying more and more weapons. Meanwhile these are the very companies making a killing, and doing a lot of killing, across the globe.
