Brookfield Acquires Hong Kong Site for Cold Storage Venture with Uni-China

HONG KONG, Oct. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Brookfield, a leading global investment firm headquartered in New York with more than US$1 trillion of assets under management, has formed a cold storage joint venture with Māori Capital, the investment arm of Uni-China Group, Hong Kong’s largest fresh food retailer and wet market operator, to acquire a prime industrial site in Tsing Yi, Hong Kong from Swire Properties.

The 246,000 square foot site is located within Hong Kong’s most established logistics cluster and will be purpose-built to meet the modern cold storage specifications required for food-grade logistics and pharmaceutical clients. It will incorporate energy-efficient refrigeration and advanced storage and logistics management solutions.

With seamless access to key transportation nodes including the Kwai Tsing Container Terminals and the Hong Kong International Airport, Uni-China’s logistics business has committed to full occupancy upon completion in 2026.

The Tsing Yi asset will serve as the seed property for a newly launched cold storage joint venture (JV) between Brookfield and Māori Capital. This strategic partnership leverages Brookfield’s extensive global expertise in cold storage and logistic investments and Uni-China’s deep local understanding of Asia’s fresh food retail and supply chain given its extensive market expertise and an established retail network of approximately 1,000 sales points.

The JV will actively explore further investment opportunities in high quality cold storage assets and related businesses across Asia.

Brookfield Head of East Asia Real Estate Andrew Burych said: “Cold storage is a high-conviction theme for Brookfield, driven by structural shifts in consumption, evolving food logistics requirements and the under-supply of modern temperature-controlled facilities in gateway cities like Hong Kong. The conversion of the Tsing Yi property to a high-spec cold storage facility is in line with Brookfield’s strategy of revitalising underutilised industrial assets across Asia. Partnering with Māori Capital and leveraging Uni-China’s operating footprint creates a powerful combination of institutional capital and local market expertise and we see potential to create a vertically integrated cold chain platform across key urban markets.”

Jackie Ling, Chairman of Uni-China Group, said: “We see rising demand for quality cold storage in Asia’s growing fresh food retail sector, driven by consumers’ shift towards high-quality products. Our strategic expansion in the cold storage business is set to seize these opportunities. With extensive assets in our diverse business portfolio and over two decades of deep local expertise, we are confident that our increased involvement in cold storage will further strengthen our strategic position as an industry leader.”

Michael Ling, Managing Partner of Māori Capital, echoes: “The partnership marks a key step in evolving modern cold chain infrastructure. We look forward to working closely with Brookfield to expanding the JV platform, and leveraging both of our expertise to investing in high-quality assets and businesses related to cold solutions across the region.”

Brookfield has a strong pedigree in logistics and is able to leverage its operational expertise, global franchise and local presence in 15 markets to create value for investors. With a global industrial portfolio worth US$26 billion, its holdings span 190 million square metres across five continents, making it one of the world’s most active investors in the logistics real estate sector. In Asia Pacific, Brookfield has US$3.5 billion in logistics assets under management.

Hujing Digital Media & Entertainment Group Hosts “2025 North America Talent Collaboration Roadshow” in Los Angeles, Launching Global Talent Program


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 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 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.”

At the same time, we’ve redesigned our Wholesale platforms to drive platform-led growth and improve the digital experience for both our dealers and end customers. All these are part of our bigger plan to scale at pace while exploring new initiatives. “

A continuation of these efforts has seen our H1 FY2026 EBITDA growing over 50% year-on-year. Our overall liquidity by end FY2025 also improved year-on-year, as we continue to be extremely focused on financial discipline, vigilant on cash flows and working capital, and balance sheet strength. Following our latest fundraising led by Cool Japan Fund, we have the strongest balance sheet position in 3 years. We are actively diversifying and securitising our receivables to improve financial flexibility and strengthen our capital structure. Very pleased that our investment into Hong Kong has been strategically value-accretive, growing quickly to become a leading player domestically and profitable in the first year.”

ISHCMC Reflects on Outstanding 2025 MYP Personal Project Achievements

HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, Oct. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The International School Ho Chi Minh City (ISHCMC) proudly reflects on the outstanding achievements of last year’s Grade 10 students in the International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Programme (MYP) Personal Project -a powerful demonstration of inquiry, innovation, and academic independence.

In the 2024-25 academic year, ISHCMC students achieved an impressive average score of 5.31 out of 7, outperforming the global average of 3.94 by 35%. Nearly half of all students (47%) achieved scores of 6 or 7, showcasing the school’s enduring commitment to academic rigor, guided reflection, and personalized learning.

The Personal Project serves as the MYP’s culminating experience, challenging students to design, research, and execute original work with real-world impact. Through developing Approaches to Learning (ATL) skills -from organization and research to critical reflection – students learn how to think, not just what to learn.

“At ISHCMC, inquiry and reflection are the foundation of achievement,” said Marco Longmore, Head of School. “We continue to be immensely proud of last year’s Grade 10 cohort for the independence and creativity they demonstrated -and equally proud of our current students building on that legacy of excellence.”

“The Personal Project is the ultimate test of a student’s ability to manage a self-directed project,” said Adam Abbas, Secondary Personal Project Coordinator. “It unites the key skills developed throughout the MYP – research, organization, evaluation, and reflection. These are the same competencies that lead to success in the IB Diploma Programme, university, and the workplace. Our students show remarkable independence and resilience, applying strategic thinking and creativity that prepare them to thrive beyond the classroom.”

The projects reflect ISHCMC’s interdisciplinary strength – from renewable energy engineering and creative writing to digital art and anatomy. Each demonstrate the school’s emphasis on authentic inquiry, creativity, and global citizenship – core to ISHCMC’s mission as Vietnam’s first and leading IB World School.

As the 2025–26 Grade 10 students embark on their Personal Project journeys, ISHCMC celebrates their predecessors’ accomplishments while nurturing the next generation of confident, compassionate learners.

China Pavilion at Osaka Expo 2025 wins the Gold Award! Unilumin provides a comprehensive multimedia solution

OSAKA, Japan, Oct. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On the evening of October 12, 2025, the Osaka Expo 2025 witnessed a highlight moment before its closing—the China Pavilion stood out among 25 large self-built pavilions worldwide and won the Gold Medal in the Large Self-built Pavilion Exhibition Category awarded by the Bureau International des Expositions!

China Pavilion at Osaka Expo 2025 wins the Gold Award!
China Pavilion at Osaka Expo 2025 wins the Gold Award!

This marks the first time China has won a gold medal at an overseas comprehensive World Expo, and it is another “Chinese-style romance” that has amazed the world. Inside the China Pavilion at the Expo, Unilumin provided all multimedia equipment and integrated solutions, including LED displays, projectors, multimedia, and interactive systems.

In this pavilion themed “Jointly Building a Community with a Shared Future for Man and Nature – A Future Society of Green Development”, Unilumin illuminated Chinese wisdom with metasight technology.

The poetic chapters of “Harmony Between Man and Nature”, “Lucid Waters and Lush Mountains”, and “Endless Vitality” were presented through the combined interpretation of LED display, projection, and radar system interactive experience. This allowed visitors to feel as if they were traveling between time and nature in an immersive space.

Unilumin’s team also innovatively created a “Cultural Digital Gene Bank”, transforming Oriental elements such as ink wash, silk, and landscapes into digital language. These elements were flexibly applied in other exhibition items. Combined with the “Adaptive Ambient Light Adjustment System”, the LED visual display interactive terminals achieved millimeter-level integration with the architectural space.

The success of the China Pavilion this time has won high praise from the international community. Masayoshi Matsumoto, Chairman of the Kansai Economic Federation, stated that the China Pavilion vividly demonstrates China’s historical culture and technological achievements, and has effectively promoted exchanges between Japan and China.

Since its opening, the China Pavilion has attracted nearly 2 million global visitors, with an average daily attendance of over 10,000 people, making it one of the most popular national pavilions at the Osaka World Expo.

As the visual display supporter, Unilumin is deeply honored and proud to help the China Pavilion shine on the world stage. In the future, Unilumin will continue to focus on “LED + AI” as its core, promote the initiative of “Digitalized Metasight Lights up All Industries”, and use technology as a medium to tell more warm and powerful Chinese stories.
