CCV Capital’s Founding Managing Partner Wei Zhou Attends the 2025 Harvard College China Forum

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., April 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — From April 4th to April 6th, 2025 (Eastern Time), the 28th Harvard College China Forum was successfully held on the campus of Harvard University. Wei Zhou, Founding Managing Partner of CCV Capital, Former Managing Partner of KPCB China, was invited to attend the forum and participated in a roundtable discussion themed “Business Development,” sharing insightful perspectives and forward-thinking views on the topic of “Cross-border Innovation and Venture Capital.”

Wei Zhou has long focused on early-stage investments in intelligent technologies, sustainability, globalization, and cutting-edge global technologies, especially demonstrating extensive experience and unique insights in artificial intelligence and innovative technologies. During the forum, he emphasized the pivotal role of AI technologies in driving cross-border innovation, stating:

“Deepseek has sounded a global alarm, demonstrating a groundbreaking approach to large models, while Manus has set a global benchmark for application developers, illustrating how applications should be built. Both have offered enlightening revelations, albeit at different layers—the foundational and the application layers.”

He further highlighted:

“It’s no longer appropriate to evaluate application-layer products by foundational-layer standards. Without robust application-layer support, foundational technologies risk becoming self-indulgent. Only by truly moving towards practical applications can AI deliver universal value.”

Wei Zhou’s insights not only provide fresh perspectives for the future development of AI technologies but also inject practical inspiration into cross-border innovation and global collaboration.

Discussing the significant structural changes in the venture capital industry over the past eighteen months, Wei Zhou noted:

“The venture capital landscape has undergone dramatic structural shifts in the past two years. Silicon Valley’s VC industry has become fiercely competitive, leading to significant turnover and a notable decline in fundraising. However, AI has emerged as a standout growth area and a focal point for global investments.”

To entrepreneurs navigating these changes, Wei Zhou offered three key recommendations:

“First, maintain the advantage of rapid iteration and continuous improvement. Second, entrepreneurs should strategically align their ventures with large enterprises, as major corporations will consistently acquire innovative startups to keep pace with AI advancements. Third, entrepreneurs should target global markets, particularly emerging regions with less competition, such as Mexico, where abundant opportunities exist.”

At the conclusion of the roundtable, Wei Zhou also shared valuable advice for aspiring young venture capitalists:

“First, venture capital is inherently social; building extensive networks and relationships is essential for accessing high-quality investment opportunities. Second, successful VC practitioners must possess sharp insights into future trends and quickly identify market sparks. Individuals who rely solely on cautious, analytical approaches may find this dynamic and rapidly evolving field unsuitable.”

The Harvard College China Forum, organized entirely by students, is the largest and longest-running China-focused summit globally. Under the theme “Navigating Changing Times,” this year’s forum aimed to foster dialogue among leaders and thought pioneers across political, business, and academic circles from both China and the United States, exploring opportunities and building consensus for mutually beneficial long-term cooperation.

During the forum, prominent figures from the business, political, and academic communities worldwide gathered to engage in in-depth discussions on frontier topics such as international relations, economics, biotechnology, and artificial intelligence. Distinguished guests included Kevin Rudd, former Prime Minister of Australia; Xavier R. Rolet, former CEO of the London Stock Exchange Group; Alexis Tsipras, former Prime Minister of Greece; Hu Wei, President of Bank of China USA and Chairman of the China General Chamber of Commerce-USA; and George Church, Professor of Genetics at Harvard University and Member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences.

Established in 1997, the Harvard College China Forum is devoted to building bridges between China and the world, exploring the role and contributions of Chinese enterprises within the global context. In their opening speeches on April 5th, several guests highly praised the stabilizing role of China’s economy in the global market, Chinese enterprises’ commitment to developing new productivity paradigms, and the promising prospects of China’s vast market.

CK Life Sciences Files Patent Applications for Circular mRNA TROP2 Cancer Vaccine

Breast Cancer Animal Studies Show Unprecedented Anti-Cancer Efficacy of 100% Tumor Growth Inhibition


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 11 April 2025 – CK Life Sciences Int’l., (Holdings) Inc. (“CK Life Sciences”), a leader in cancer vaccine development, announces the latest progress in its pharmaceutical R&D, namely the filing of an Original Grant Patent application in Hong Kong and a provisional patent application in the United States for novel cancer vaccines targeting Trophoblast Cell Surface Antigen 2 (“TROP2”).

TROP2 is a cell surface glycoprotein that is overexpressed in a wide range of cancers, including breast, lung, pancreatic, and colorectal cancers. This protein plays a critical role in cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, and its overexpression is frequently linked to aggressive tumor behavior and poor clinical outcomes. Given its high expression in cancer cells and minimal presence in normal tissues, TROP2 has emerged as a promising therapeutic target in oncology.

TROP2-positive triple-negative breast cancer animal study demonstrated 100% tumor growth inhibition

TROP2 cancer vaccines covered by the patent application include innovative circular mRNA (circRNA) and fusion protein vaccine constructs that can induce robust T cell immune responses and have demonstrated impressive tumor growth inhibition in preclinical studies of triple-negative breast cancer and colorectal cancer. The results of animal studies involving triple-negative breast cancer (“TNBC”) have been encouraging, with mouse models showing 100% tumor growth inhibition after receiving the TROP2 cancer vaccine. Overall, 100% inhibition of tumor growth was achieved in four of the five studies when mice were treated with a TROP2 vaccine candidate, while the remaining study demonstrated approximately 80% tumor growth inhibition.

Triple-negative breast cancer disproportionately prevalent and aggressive among Asian women

The results of animal studies of the TROP2 cancer vaccines are of particular relevance to the Asian region. Breast cancer rates in Asia are rising sharply, with younger women widely affected. In particular, TNBC shows both higher prevalence and more aggressive behavior in Asian populations compared to Western counterparts. Additionally, TNBC has fewer treatment options and demonstrates significantly higher rates of metastasis and recurrence than other breast cancer subtypes.

Unprecedented anti-cancer efficacy

“TROP2 is an exciting therapeutic target and preclinical studies of our cancer vaccine in triple-negative breast cancer exhibited 100% inhibition of tumor growth, demonstrating unprecedented anti-cancer efficacy. We look forward to advancing our TROP2 cancer vaccine expeditiously into clinical trials to benefit patients and believe it holds significant potential in preventing cancer recurrence,” said Dr. Melvin Toh, Chief Scientific Officer at CK Life Sciences.

Data on the TROP2 cancer vaccines will be presented at upcoming cancer conferences. In recent years, CK Life Sciences has showcased its growing early-stage cancer vaccine pipeline through preclinical data presentations at leading oncology conferences, alongside the filing of multiple patents. Developed in its Hong Kong-based R&D laboratories, these innovative vaccines target a broad spectrum of tumor antigens, immune checkpoint proteins, and other key components within the tumor-immune microenvironment.

Hong Kong Disneyland Resort Celebrates Earth Month by Transforming Main Street Taxi

Resort gives vintage amusement ride a magic touch, converting to electric power


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 11 April 2025 – In celebration of Earth Month this April, Hong Kong Disneyland Resort (HKDL) proudly highlights its continued environmental initiatives aimed at promoting sustainability. HKDL has been committed to adopting renewable energy and recently took innovative steps to convert a vintage amusement ride to electric power, installed Hong Kong’s first and largest car park solar canopy, and adopted AI technology to achieve energy savings. The resort will continue to expand solar system to World of Frozen, further enhancing its sustainability efforts. These initiatives, validated by industry accolades, underscore HKDL’s as a leader toward creating a better future.

The Main Street Taxi was transformed to use electric power

Switching Main Street Taxi to Electric Power
The resort is committed to taking meaningful and measurable actions to create a sustainable future. Through a blend of innovation and nostalgia to utilize clean energy for amusement taxi rides. The resort’s facility services team has converted the Main Street Taxi – a beloved feature of Main Street, U.S.A. – to electric power by replacing its existing gasoline engine and hydraulic transmission system with n motor. This innovative step prevents waste by modifying the resort’s existing vehicles.

The electricity-powered Main Street Taxi retains its vintage appearance – a nod to the elongated horseless carriages of the early 1900s. An onboard audio system has been added to simulate the sound of a gas engine. This elevates the nostalgic ride experience for guests, with improved air quality.

The First and Largest Car Park Solar Canopy in Hong Kong
HKDL marked a milestone in its journey toward clean energy adoption this year. The resort proudly unveiled Hong Kong’s first and largest car park solar canopy in the cast members’ car park, featuring nearly 200 bi-facial solar panels and providing shelter for 40 parking spaces in the first phase. The project is being executed in two phases. Upon completion of the second phase, the number of bi-facial solar panels will double to nearly 400, providing shelter for 80 parking spaces. This system is expected to generate over 200,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity annually.

“HKDL’s magic has positively impacted Hong Kong’s tourism, economy and community over the past 20 years,” said Tim Sypko, Senior Vice President, Operations, HKDL. “As a socially responsible business, we have been doing good while growing our business. This includes taking meaningful and measurable actions to support a healthier planet.”

HKDL will further expand its solar panel system in World of Frozen this year by installing solar panels on the rooftops of the attractions Frozen Ever After and Wandering Oaken’s Sliding Sleighs, continually championing the adaptation of renewable energy.

By the end of 2025, HKDL’s total solar panels will increase to over 8,300, generating enough energy to power around 1,200 three-person households for a year.

Additionally, through the installation of over 130 electric vehicle chargers, guests and cast members can now access a cleaner commuting option when they come to the resort.

Utilize AI Technology to Achieve Energy Savings for Cooling Systems
HKDL also set up an AI Digital Twin model for the district cooling air-conditioning systems, utilizing AI analytics to predict the resort’s cooling load and simulate operations virtually via the digital twin. This AI technology optimizes the performance of water-cooled district cooling air-conditioning systems, not only creating a comfortable journey for guests but also reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions.

Industry Recognition: Pioneering ESG
The resort’s environmental contributions have consistently been recognized by the industry. Last year, the resort won several accolades at the Hong Kong Awards for Environmental Excellence 2023, the second KPMG ESG 50 Awards 2024, and the Outstanding ESG Enterprises Recognition Scheme 2024. These awards highlight HKDL’s dedication to sustainability and its leading role in environmental stewardship.

Through implementing innovative e environmental measures, HKDL hopes to inspire more businesses to join the resort in imagining and shaping a sustainable future. The resort will continue to contribute toward initiatives such as food donation, waste reduction and energy saving, water conservation, and other activities.

MYEG AND BEITOU IT INNOVATION TO ESTABLISH FLAGSHIP CHINA-ASEAN AI LAB

Exclusive G2G-endorsed AI Lab in Malaysia Will See Collaboration from Global Leaders in Blockchain, AI and Robotics

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, April 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Malaysia’s leading digital services company MY E.G. Services Berhad (“MYEG”) has signed an agreement with Guangxi Beitou IT Innovation Technology Investment Group Co., Ltd. (“Beitou IT Innovation”) to jointly set up the Malaysia-China AI Innovation and Cooperation Centre as the Flagship China-ASEAN AI Lab toward realising the vision of the governments of Malaysia and China to collaborate on artificial intelligence. The exchange of agreement was witnessed officially by Minister of Investment, Trade and Industry YB Tengku Datuk Seri Utama Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz and a government representative from Mainland China.

In conjunction with the signing of a Government-to-Government Memorandum of Understanding between the governments of China and Malaysia on AI development, MYEG and Beitou IT Innovation, a wholly-owned state-owned enterprise of the Guangxi Autonomous Region Government, have been selected to jointly establish a one-of-a-kind G2G lab that brings together leading AI companies from China and ASEAN to jointly develop localised AI products and to power cross-border applications.

Spearheaded by MYEG, the AI Lab will also see the participation of leaders in their respective fields such as China’s Deepseek, robotics and drone companies DJI and Leju Robot, Huawei Technologies, Alibaba Group as well as Malaysian IT services provider Heitech Padu Berhad, among others.

Located at MYEG Headquarters in Petaling Jaya, the AI Lab will focus on the convergence of Blockchain, Generative AI and robotics technologies with emphasis on cross-border applications and customisation of AI services according to local culture and values. The first service to be introduced will be the mutual recognition of national Digital IDs from Malaysia and China starting with Guangxi Autonomous Region. This service enables citizens from Malaysia to use their MyDigital ID for various identity verification requirements in Guangxi Autonomous Region, especially for KYC requirements at financial institutions and various tourist attractions. At the same time, the digital ID of Chinese nationals will be similarly accepted for identity verification in Malaysia.

In providing impetus toward the success of this joint effort, the Guangxi provincial government has allocated a sum of RMB10 billion through an investment fund to seed the development of such projects under the China-ASEAN programme.

“As the leading digital technology group in Guangxi, we are proud to act as the bridge connecting China AI resources such as open source LLMs, AI applications and AI talents, and et cetera, with AI use cases across public private sectors, industries and academics in Malaysia and ASEAN. Working closely with our China and Malaysia partners, we are confident of increasing the overall productivities of Malaysia and ASEAN by leveraging the power of AI,” said Beitou IT Innovation Group Chairman Lai Shuiping.

“MYEG is honoured to be selected by both countries to lead this important initiative.  Blockchain, robotics and AI technologies are converging to provide the next wave of services and we are well positioned to offer state of the art next generation products. We look forward to expanding this partnership to other ASEAN countries,” said MYEG Group Managing Director TS Wong.

MYEG has forged exclusive partnerships with major Chinese government agencies and related entities, including China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (“CAICT”) and the General Administration of Customs of the People’s Republic of China, positioning its public layer-1 blockchain network as the preferred platform for the adoption of game-changing real-world Web 3 and AI applications capable of revolutionising cross-border transactions.
