Zhejiang Normal University Launches Cultural Exchange Trip, Offering International Students Opportunity to Learn About Role of Women in China

BEIJING, CHINA – Media OutReach – 1 August 2022 – Earlier this Spring, foreign students from China’s Zhejiang Normal University participated in a cultural exchange in China’s Western Xinjiang province. Entitled the trip was designed to allow exchange students an opportunity to interact and learn about their social and religious peers in China.

During the three-day, two-night expedition, students visited the provincial capital of Urumqi as well as the ancient oasis city of Kashgar.

Aya, 25, a language student from a traditional Muslim family in Africa, was happy to attend, as she was interested to learn about how Muslim women in China think about their role in society and feminism in general.

“My mother was frightened when she learned where we were going,” Aya chuckled. “She’d heard a lot of negative information about that region.” Aya said she understood her concerns, the university assured her the trip would be safe and could provide a good opportunity to discover how ordinary women in rural China were finding their way in society.

As part of the program, Zhejiang Normal University organized conversations between the exchange students and local people of similar ages. In the Performance Hall in the provincial capital Urumqi, exchange students met Guli, a professional Chinese dancer. At 28, Guli is in the prime of her career. Together, the students and Guli talked about their lives and the societal and familial pressures they face.

A spokesperson for the University said conversations like these were the point of the exchange program. “Around the world, modern women face constraints and pressures from society, family and tradition. Some compromise, some struggle, and some engage in reform. We hope to give our students a view onto all aspects of the world and show them that people everywhere face similar issues.”

Aya, like the rest of her classmates, viewed the trip positively and hopes she can attend again. She greatly valued meeting who she referred to as the “Iron Women of Western China”.

Due to the success of the Spring semester program, Zhejiang Normal University is planning a second trip in Fall of 2022.

New AXA Max Wealth Insurance Plan Offers guaranteed Day-1 cash value[1] up to 81% of lump sum payment with guaranteed breakeven period as short as 5 years[2]

Combining features of life protection and wealth accumulation with flexi designation option to offer unique flexibility in legacy planning

HONG KONG SAR – Media Outreach – 1 August 2022 – AXA Hong Kong and Macau (AXA) today announced the launch of its Max Wealth Insurance Plan (“Max Wealth”), which offers a market-leading guaranteed breakeven period as short as 5 years[2], and guaranteed cash value on the commencement day of the policy up to 81%[1] of lump sum payment. With Max Wealth, customers are empowered to achieve their financing goals with optimal asset liquidity, and ultimately unleash the full potential of wealth accumulation. Moreover, Max Wealth also provides a flexi designation option for customers to transfer part of the policy value to another insured with no limit in times[3], enabling the policyholder greater flexibility for legacy planning. By incorporating the lifelong protection, Max Wealth eases the customer’s burden when facing unexpected situations in life, and in passing on their values and visions for life from one generation to another.

Kevin Chor, Chief Life and Health Insurance Officer, AXA Hong Kong and Macau, said, “Market research showed that the median and the mean wealth per adult in Hong Kong have reached USD174,000 (approximately HKD1.36 million) and USD503,000 (approximately HKD3.95 million) respectively, ranking third highest globally[4]. Additionally, the number of high-net-worth (HNW) and mass affluent individuals has been increasing in Hong Kong and hit 3.9 million in 2021, accounting for 60.6% of the overall population[5]. These statistics indicate a huge market demand for wealth management products. Savings products with higher guaranteed cash value and shorter breakeven time will give customers more confidence, especially under the current volatile market condition. To address this, Max Wealth has been launched for customers to build resilience into their portfolios which allows high asset liquidity and flexibility under various market conditions, enabling them to have the flexibility to react promptly to the market and realise their long-term goals in wealth accumulation and legacy planning.”

Four notable features of Max Wealth are as follows:

  1. 2- year ultra-short premium payment term to free customers from long-term payment commitments

    With a minimum initial investment of USD20,000 (approximately HKD157,000), Max Wealth offers a convenient 2-year ultra-short premium payment term with a lump sum payment arrangement to eliminate the burden from long-term payment commitments. For customers who opt for the lump sum payment arrangement, the prepaid amount will accumulate interest in the first policy year at a guaranteed preferential interest rate in a Future Premium Deposit Account (“FPDA”). The amount will be automatically deducted from the FPDA to settle the annual premium for the second policy year when the first policy year ends.
  2. Market-leading 5-year guaranteed breakeven period[2] with guaranteed Day-1 cash value[1] up to 81% of the lump sum payment and to unleash potential for wealth accumulation with flexibility and efficiency

    Under the lump sum payment arrangement, the sum of the guaranteed cash value and FPDA balance of the policy at the commencement of the policy will be up to 81%[1] of the lump sum payment. The guaranteed cash value will keep growing throughout the policy years and reach 100% of the lump sum payment as early as the end of the fifth policy year[2]. It gives customers extra confidence in achieving their financial goals. Following the conclusion of the third policy year, a terminal dividend may be payable to Max Wealth customers upon policy surrender, policy maturity or the death of the insured[6] .

    Furthermore, Max Wealth’s expected 10-year total internal rate of return can reach up to 3.8%[7]. Starting from the 15th policy anniversary, customers may apply to exercise the terminal dividend lock-in option to lock in gains without an aggregate limit for the lock-in rate. Also, part or all of the value of the terminal dividend lock-in account can be withdrawn in a lump sum anytime without surrendering the policy to accommodate the customer’s financial needs at different life stages.
  3. Flexible legacy planning with the Flexi Designation Option

    AXA understands that a customer’s wealth goals and legacy plans may change at different life stages. In view of this, Max Wealth customers can apply for the flexible “split policy” option after the end of the second policy year. This means transferring part of the value of the policy to a separate policy of Max Wealth and designating another person as the insured, and the coverage period will continue until the new insured reaches the age of 138. This transfer process can be exercised an unlimited number of times[3], making legacy planning more flexible and laying a solid financial foundation for the insured’s next generations and loved ones.
  4. Simple application procedure requiring no physical health check, providing lifelong protection for your loved ones

    The insured of Max Wealth can unlock this wealth accumulation plan by completing simple application procedures without declaring their health information[8]. Max Wealth also provides lifelong protection. In the unfortunate case of the death of the insured, the designated beneficiary will receive a death benefit equal to the higher of up to 105%[9] of the total standard premium paid or guaranteed cash value, plus the non-guaranteed terminal dividend and the value of the terminal dividend lock-in account (if any). The designated beneficiary can also choose to receive the compensation either by a lump sum payment, payment by instalments or hybrid payment. This feature ensures the customer’s wealth can benefit their families and the succeeding generations.

Mothercare Celebrates National Breastfeeding Month in Singapore By Helping Mothers Embrace the Breastfeeding Journey

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 1 August 2022 – In this year’s National Breastfeeding Month, global baby retailer, Mothercare, is pledging to stand alongside mothers in Singapore to raise awareness for breastfeeding. As part of a global campaign to commemorate nursing mothers and the act of maternal love, this month-long celebration aims to help them embrace this rewarding journey – both online and in-store.

From common nursing issues to choosing the right equipment, parents will uncover everything they need to know about breastfeeding.

Connect with breastfeeding experts

Mothers can now join a support group on Telegram to connect with fellow moms in Singapore, with parenting experts from Bump Birth & Beyond and LoveAmme providing expert tips and advice on breastfeeding and more. Participants will be able to get answers to common questions such as how to resolve clogged ducts, how to clean the nipple with wipes, or finding the right nursing or maternity bra.

Get advice on breastfeeding essentials

Expecting parents or parents with newborns can also take advantage of the Nursery Advisor programme, which offers complimentary professional advice to help them make informed purchase decisions. The three-step consultation process allows customers to seek advice from trained and certified professionals who will explain and recommend products which will suit their needs.

For example, pregnant mothers who have trouble sleeping may be advised to get a pregnancy pillow to help support the extra weight, which can also double up as a nursing pillow afterwards for greater cost savings.

With many new mothers struggling with breastfeeding for the first time, this programme also enables them to learn about the unique features of each nursing equipment. For example, the LoveAmme MadeToTravel Double Breastpump is both lightweight and powerful, a perfect lifestyle companion for breastfeeding mothers on-the-go. The Tommee Tippee Made For Me Silicone Manual Breastpump is also a great alternative due to its size and portability.

Apart from breast pumps, Mothercare offers a wide range of other breastfeeding equipment and comfort essentials, including nipple creams, breast shields, to nursing bras to help make the breastfeeding journey smooth and comfortable. Registration for the Nursery Advisor programme is convenient and fuss-free – interested parties can easily sign up online from the comfort of their own homes through the digital portal. New joiners will also receive a series of perks such as a free goodie bag and a nursery styling session with Med Kärlek Inc.

Celebrate National Breastfeeding Month with Mothercare this August

Enjoy curated content on all things breastfeeding in the Mothercare blog and across social media platforms. Through a collaborative effort, the public will also be able to hear from mothers in Singapore about their own experiences as well as gather tips and tricks from popular baby brands such as LoveAmme and Tommee Tippee, which will empower them throughout this journey.

PressReleaseTMPDFo0qU.jpg

From how to choose the right breast pump to uncovering the most breastfeeding-friendly places in Singapore, this series of curated content will provide parents with all the resources they need to embark on a smooth breastfeeding journey.

Today, breastfeeding has achieved significant progress as compared to a decade ago. Through its breastfeeding initiatives, Mothercare is well-geared to celebrate National Breastfeeding Month alongside mothers and even fathers in this month and beyond.
