Global Health Power Converges in the Greater Bay Area • Shaping a New Era of Trade and Commerce

—The Healthplex Expo, Natural & Nutraceutical Products Shenzhen 2025 Launches This December

SHENZHEN, China, Dec. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Guided by the “Healthy China 2030” strategy, governments, institutions, and enterprises are jointly investing in the health industry, continuously raising residents’ health awareness. With the accelerating ageing of the population, increasing work pressure, and a faster pace of life, societal health needs are becoming increasingly diverse. Dietary health, as a fundamental and easily implemented solution, continues to gain consumer favour. Advancements in modern food processing technologies have spurred rapid growth of the global nutrition and health industry, while the development of the internet and social media in China has further promoted the expansion of China’s nutrition and health sector. As a high-level platform driving industry progress, the “Healthplex Expo, Natural & Nutraceutical Products China” (HNC) has, for over a decade, consistently brought together leading global companies and professional buyers, facilitating high-quality growth within the sector.

Against this backdrop, “Healthplex Expo, Natural & Nutraceutical Products Shenzhen 2025” (HNC Shenzhen 2025) will open grandly from December 16 to 18, 2025 at the Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center. Organized by Sinoexpo Informa Markets. This year’s edition brings together the core strengths of both the HNC Expo and the Hi & Fi Shenzhen, and will be jointly staged with seven major concurrent exhibitions spanning food processing and packaging, hotel catering, commercial space and more, forming the “Connexion ShenZhen”. The event will gather numerous globally renowned enterprises presenting breakthrough technologies and products. With 250,000 sqm of exhibition space, 2,500+ global exhibitors, and 150,000+ professional buyers, it will become the premier year-end industry event in South China—serving as a pivotal hub for cross-sector integration and global connectivity.

Panoramic Product Matrix:

A Comprehensive Ecosystem Covering the Entire Health Industry Value Chain

Centred on precise demand matching and driving consumption upgrading, the exhibition builds a holistic ecosystem of health products and services that spans the entire lifecycle. The scope of exhibits extends comprehensively—from ingredients to end products, and from traditional remedies to cutting-edge technologies. Within the core segment of health and nutrition, in addition to classic categories such as nutritional health foods, dietary supplements, diet therapy & TCM, beauty & skin care, and smart health devices and home-use health equipment, the showcase also includes specialized categories such as maternal and infant health products, light foods, and weight-management products. Related services—including contract manufacturing and private-label production—will also be featured to support one-stop procurement for enterprises.

Among the highlights are two major sections: diet therapy & TCM and health-oriented beauty products. The tonic food zone brings together traditional treasures such as ganoderma lucidum, bird’s nest, and donkey-hide gelatin, alongside distinctive varieties including antrodia cinnamomea and green algae products. By integrating modern biotechnology with time-honoured wellness wisdom, the exhibition showcases an upgraded industry landscape where ancient formulas are reinterpreted for contemporary needs. It also offers global professionals in the health and nutrition sector an immersive window into the principles of “medicine and food from the same source” and the evolving field of dietary-based nourishment. The health-beauty segment takes “beauty and wellness from the same source” as its core concept, gathering cosmetic products derived from natural botanicals, ingestible beauty supplements, and functional ingredients with anti-ageing and restorative effects. Complementary displays—such as cosmetic-ingredient safety-testing technologies—further align with the rising consumer trend of holistic wellness that integrates nourishment from within and care from without.

The light-meal zone will emerge as one of the major innovation highlights of this year’s exhibition, directly addressing consumers’ rising aspirations for “healthy eating and quality living”. Designed as an integrated ecosystem combining product showcases, scenario-based experiences, and technical exchange, the zone creates a comprehensive industry platform for the light-food sector. It is organized into four core sub-sections based on product categories. The light-meal section brings together low-GI staple foods, sugar-reducing staple foods, konjac products, and more, complemented by advanced processing technologies such as frozen fresh-locking and low-temperature baking. The light-snack section focuses on niche categories including protein bars, whole-wheat biscuits, low-sugar confectionery and chocolate, and organic grain snacks—addressing the needs of consumers pursuing fitness, fat loss, or specialized nutritional goals.

Serving as a dedicated window into premium lifestyles, the zone for high-end health water, edible oils, and organic products highlights the growing demand for natural, healthy, and high-quality consumption. It builds a diversified supply system that covers everything from foundational ingredients to holistic health services. The premium edible oils section gathers high-quality varieties such as cold-pressed olive oil, flaxseed oil, and camellia oil, alongside demonstrations of advanced oil-refining technologies and traceability systems—showcasing the dual advantages of nutritional integrity and safety control. The premium drinking-water section features natural mineral water, hydrogen-rich water, and functional sparkling water, with complementary displays of water-purification technologies and innovations in packaging, catering to diverse hydration needs across everyday scenarios. Green and organic food products are presented through certified organic labeling, cultivation and breeding technologies, and product showcases, conveying a holistic “farm-to-table” approach to healthy living. In addition, the zone also encompasses oral-care health products, forest-derived foods, traditional Chinese medicinal ingredients, and premium agricultural brands—forming a comprehensive “healthy diet + daily wellness” matrix that fully aligns with consumers’ pursuit of a high-quality, health-centred lifestyle.

Multi-Dimensional Channel Integration to Build an Efficient Business Ecosystem

Leveraging more than fifteen years of experience and a database of over 100,000 highly targeted buyers accumulated through the “Healthplex Expo, Natural & Nutraceutical Products China” (HNC), the exhibition establishes a comprehensive online–offline business-matchmaking system to ensure efficient alignment between supply and demand. Online, the exhibition is supported by EN-SJGLE.COM B2B platform, which provides a 365-day continuous trade-service system. With over 300,000 active registered users, the platform offers suppliers and professional buyers a “one-stop online presence” alongside tailored one-to-one matchmaking services. Offline, an E-commerce Channel Matchmaking Programme will be launched to offer exhibitors full-chain solutions including livestream commerce planning, customized short-video content creation, and community-based distribution support—helping health-related products reach online consumer groups with greater speed and precision.

In addition, the professional visitor portfolio covers a wide spectrum of industry buyers, including distributors and agents, import-export traders, cross-border e-commerce operators, offline retail chains, and brand enterprises. A significant proportion of attendees represent corporate decision-makers and core procurement teams, ensuring that business negotiations directly reach key decision points and thus enhance conversion efficiency. Internationally, the exhibition establishes extensive links with high-quality overseas buyers in the health industry—ranging from cross-border traders to international brand representatives from Australia, the United States, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand, Canada, etc. This creates a crucial bridge for exhibitors to engage with global markets, enabling domestic brands to expand international partnerships while facilitating accurate alignment between overseas resources and domestic demand.

More than twenty themed forums and specialized events will also be staged onsite, bringing together leading figures from government, industry, academia and research to deliver in-depth discussions on core topics spanning policy, technology, marketing, etc.

Exhibitor Testimonials Underscore the Platform’s Core Value

The continuous success of previous editions has firmly established the HNC Shenzhen as a recognized accelerator for industry-wide business development. Sirio noted that “the exhibition exceeded expectations in both visitor traffic and the quality of potential clients. The organizer’s meticulous services ensured smooth and efficient communication, providing essential support for our expansion into the South China market.” The representative of Wright Life commented that “the exhibition has built an accurate bridge between manufacturers and brand owners, enabling us to integrate the strengths of global raw materials with domestic manufacturing.”

Japan’s Yurala reported that its anti-ageing products gained strong recognition in the Chinese market through the exhibition, resulting in multiple new agency partnerships. Exhibitors generally agree that the event serves not only as a window for product presentation but also as a comprehensive platform for brand building, industry resource integration, and insights into future trends—making it a central component of their annual exhibition strategy.

This December, Shenzhen will once again become a global focal point thanks to this landmark event in the health industry. The HNC Shenzhen 2025 will return with greater openness, more precise services, and richer resources, working alongside industry partners to shape a new ecosystem for the health sector. It will inject lasting momentum into the implementation of the Healthy China initiative and the upgrade of the health industry in South China. From December 16 to 18, at the Shenzhen World Exhibition and Convention Centre, the industry gathers for a shared commitment to health and a new chapter of development.

Female model workers sharing expertise with enterprises

BEIJING, Dec. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A report from China Daily

The All-China Federation of Trade Unions is harnessing the power of female role models, not only by honoring their contributions but also by deploying their expertise to enterprises, turning individual ingenuity into a driving force for national development.

Han Liping, a computer numerical control machining center operator at a Shanxi province-based aerospace equipment manufacturing company, has dedicated over three decades to working on the frontlines of China’s space industry, with her career exemplifying professional attributes often associated with the “craftsmanship spirit”.

Han, 54, a national model worker and craftswoman, has contributed to the success of nearly 200 Chinese space launches not by working on the rockets themselves, but on what supports them: the launch platform.

Involved in the precision machining of key parts for these platforms, Han operates various digital control systems and software to ensure every component meets the exacting standards required for a successful launch.

“I’m just a cog in the machine on the production line, doing my everyday job. But it makes me incredibly proud to add my little piece to the success of our country’s space industry,” Han said.

Notably, Han has innovated an operation method for complex valve body hole systems, which resolved a critical challenge in the Long March 7 launch platform, where the valve body holes had extremely narrow tolerance ranges and minimal redundancy space. This breakthrough achieved a 100 percent first-pass qualification rate for key components controlling the support arm leveling precision, ensuring the accurate orbital insertion of the new-generation carrier rocket.

“The accumulation of production experience and the maturation of skills must be continuously validated through practical application — there are no shortcuts or detours, only steady progress with each step,” Han said.

Leading the national-level Han Liping Skills Master Studio, Han and her team focus on tackling bottleneck issues in scientific research and production.

To date, the studio has completed more than 300 innovation projects, generating cumulative benefits exceeding 30 million yuan ($4.23 million) and obtaining 13 patents.

“Technology is constantly evolving. As front-line industrial workers, we must also keep learning and improving our skills to meet the demands of our positions,” Han said.

Yet her aspirations extend beyond personal breakthroughs. For decades, she has been dedicated to passing down the spirit of craftsmanship to the next generation. She shares her knowledge, skills and techniques with team members and young colleagues, nurturing a new generation of skilled workers. Thanks in part to her mentorship, the company has now produced 29 national technical experts.

In the wave of intelligent manufacturing, Han said, “A truly competitive industry needs both the brains behind core technologies and the skilled hands that bring them to life on the factory floor.”

Han’s story is a prime example of the ACFTU’s systematic efforts to cultivate, recognize and utilize female role models.

A recent tour project focusing on female model workers and craftswomen assisting enterprises extends this model, transforming individual expertise into collective productive forces for businesses nationwide.

On the morning of July 24, at a Geely automobile industrial park in Xi’an, Shaanxi province, national model worker Yi Ran, a renowned welder and the first national master craftswoman from Zhuzhou, Hunan province, signed a mentorship agreement with welder Li Junle from Geely. Yi then accompanied Li to his workstation while offering hands-on guidance.

“I plan to first help Li solve some production problems, then teach him skills like operating welding robots, and also help him plan his career path,” Yi said. 

Simultaneously, nine other top model workers and master craftswomen split into groups to assist different companies during the tour. They provided advice on non-standard parts processing at Xi’an Caijing Opto-Electrical Science & Technology, solved vibration issues in high-speed winding machines at Xi’an Da’an Chemical Industry, and advised on skill certification systems at TBEA Xi’an Electric Technology.

A manager from Xi’an Da’an expressed gratitude, noting that the experts “helped solve many technical problems that had troubled us for years, and their innovative ideas can be translated into tangible productivity”.

Sun Mei, a national women’s pacesetter and a welding manager from YCIH Mechanical Manufacturing and Installation, emphasized that “the exchange platform built by the ACFTU has provided broader space for the growth and innovation of female talent”.

The tour demonstrated holistic care by organizing visits to innovation studios such as the “Xue Ying Class” and C919 production line, where participants delivered supplies to front-line workers. These activities were complemented by “Caring for Employees” health services provided in partnership with Northwest Women’s and Children’s Hospital. The program aims to create a new platform for demonstration, enterprise empowerment, and employee exchange.

The ACFTU is pioneering a new service model described as “enterprises placing orders, model workers accepting orders, and the union providing delivery”, which is designed to serve workers and small and medium-sized enterprises more efficiently and effectively. This systematic approach ensures specialized knowledge is transferred to where it is most needed, creating multiplier effects for industrial advancement.

The effect of such activities extends beyond immediate technical solutions. By creating opportunities for female professionals to demonstrate leadership in traditionally male-dominated sectors, the ACFTU is reshaping industry perceptions and encouraging more women to pursue technical careers. This aligns with broader national goals to foster innovation-driven development, where the participation of women in the workforce is recognized as crucial for sustainable economic growth.

As the ACFTU celebrates its 100th anniversary, the combination of honorific recognition and platform building ensures that the dedication of pioneers such as Han is amplified. The footsteps of these elite women are reaching far and wide, sharing their wisdom to collectively power the nation’s development.

Indonesia, Thailand Race to Find Missing as Flood Toll Tops 600; Laos Sends Condolences

People walk near a dead Sumatran elephant buried in mud in a flood affected area in Meureudu, Pidie Jaya district in Indonesia's Aceh province on November 30, 2025. The death toll from floods that hit Indonesia this week has risen to more than 300 people, according to figures from the disaster agency on November 29. (Photo credit: CHAIDEER MAHYUDDIN / AFP)

AFP and Laotian Times – Indonesian and Thai authorities raced on Sunday to clear debris and find hundreds of missing people as the death toll from devastating floods and landslides across Southeast Asia topped 600.

Heavy monsoon rain overwhelmed swaths of Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia this week, leaving thousands of people stranded without shelter or critical supplies.

At least two areas of Indonesia’s worst-affected Sumatra island were still unreachable on Sunday, and authorities said they had deployed two warships from Jakarta to deliver aid.

Central Tapanuli and Sibolga city “require full attention due to being isolated”, National Disaster Agency head Suharyanto said in a statement, adding that the ships were expected in Sibolga on Monday.

The death toll in Indonesia rose to 442, while 402 were still missing, according to a tally published on Sunday by the disaster authority.

It said at least 646 people had been injured.

In Sungai Nyalo village, about 100 kilometres (62 miles) from West Sumatra’s capital Padang, floodwaters had mostly receded on Sunday, leaving homes, vehicles and crops coated in thick grey mud.

Authorities had not yet begun clearing roads, residents told AFP, and no outside assistance had arrived.

“Most villagers chose to stay; they didn’t want to leave their houses behind,” said Idris, 55, who, like many Indonesians, goes by one name.

Across the island towards the north coast, an endangered Sumatran elephant lay buried in thick mud and debris near damaged buildings in Meureudu town.

Public criticism

In Thailand, where at least 162 people were killed in one of the worst floods in a decade, authorities continued to deliver aid and clear the damage.

Relief measures rolled out by the Thai government include compensation of up to THB 2 million (USD 62,000) for households that lost family members.

However, there has been growing public criticism of Thailand’s flood response, and two local officials have been suspended over their alleged failures.

Laos has expressed condolences to both Thailand and Indonesia following the devastating floods. President Thongloun Sisoulith sent a message to Thailand’s King Maha Vajiralongkorn, while Prime Minister Sonexay Siphandone conveyed condolences to Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul. Foreign Minister Thongsavanh Phomvihane also sent messages to his Thai and Indonesian counterparts, expressing sympathy for the loss of life and the severe impacts in several provinces of Sumatra.

Two people were killed in Malaysia after floods left stretches of northern Perlis state underwater.

The annual monsoon season, typically between June and September, often brings heavy rain, triggering landslides and flash floods.

A tropical storm has exacerbated conditions, and the tolls in Indonesia and Thailand rank among the highest in floods in those countries in recent years.

Climate change has affected storm patterns, including the duration and intensity of the season, leading to heavier rainfall, flash flooding and stronger wind gusts.

As a result, ColorSing has developed a low-latency, karaoke-grade live streaming infrastructure powered by Tencent Cloud’s Flutter.

Leveraging TRTC, ColorSing swiftly launched a feature-rich karaoke app. This significantly reduced development complexity and time-to-market, enabling ColorSing to focus on enhancing user experience and building a vibrant community. Consequently, the partnership has strengthened ColorSing’s user acquisition and retention in Japan’s highly competitive market, while also showcasing TRTC’s advanced capabilities for real-time, synchronized karaoke and other complex entertainment scenarios.

Overcoming Technical Barriers to Next-Gen In-App Experiences

Building a robust live-streaming application involves significant technical challenges, from delivering flawless user experiences on iOS and Android, to ensuring ultra-low latency for real-time interaction. ColorSing required advanced karaoke features, beauty filters, content archiving, as well as support for OBS ingest, co-streaming, and server-side transcoding for collaborative broadcasts.

Tencent Cloud’s end-to-end, cloud-based live-streaming SDK addressed these needs. By adopting Tencent Cloud’s solution, ColorSing quickly enabled live streaming, karaoke, and advanced beauty effects—without the burden of building complex middleware. The SDK provides out-of-the-box viewer functions, ultra-low-latency communication (typically 300 ms to 1 second), and high-quality video and audio for a consistently engaging user experience. Server-side transcoding and cross-platform compatibility—including Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, and Web—allow ColorSing to innovate rapidly and scale efficiently.

Masaki Hitonishi, Vice President of Engineering at ColorSing, said, “Thanks to the TRTC and CSS streaming backbone and the integrated beauty filters, we were able to launch, operate, and scale a live-streaming app that clears two extremely demanding hurdles from day one: ultra-low latency for real-time singing, and the high quality expected of a late-entry service. Flutter support lets us deliver cross-platform with minimal engineering effort, while built-in components such as server-side transcoding and co-streaming give us a solid foundation for future expansion. All of this has been tremendously valuable to us.”

Poshu Yeung, Senior Vice President of Tencent Cloud International, said, “We are very pleased that ColorSing has chosen Tencent Cloud’s distribution solution. Tencent Cloud has been committed to supporting ColorSing in providing the best user experience by providing SDKs that can be used for rapid service development. We look forward to seeing ColorSing’s services further develop. Tencent Cloud will continue to support the innovation of our customers in Japan and around the world.”
