Lianlian DigiTech Launches Overseas Business Headquarters in Hong Kong, Building a Key Hub Connecting Traditional Finance with the Digital Future

HONG KONG, Nov. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On November 18, 2025, Lianlian DigiTech announced the establishment of its Overseas Business Headquarters in Hong Kong, signaling the beginning of a new phase of deeper and more accelerated global growth. This is another major strategic initiative by Lianlian to build a new global digital payment ecosystem with Hong Kong as its hub, following its designation as a strategic enterprise partner by the Hong Kong SAR Government’s Office for Attracting Strategic Enterprises in October this year.

A number of senior government and industry leaders attended the launch ceremony, highlighting the significance of this milestone. Key attendees included Michael Wong Wai-lun, Deputy Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong SAR Government; Christopher Hui Ching-yu, Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury of the Hong Kong SAR Government; Alpha Lau, Director-General of Investment Promotion at Invest Hong Kong; Peter Yan King-shun, Director-General of the Office for Attracting Strategic Enterprises (OASES) of the Hong Kong SAR Government; Zhang Zhengyu, Chairman of the Board and Executive Director of Lianlian DigiTech; Xin Jie, CEO of Lianlian DigiTech; and Tim Shen, Co-President of Lianlian DigiTech.

The establishment of Lianlian’s Overseas Business Headquarters in Hong Kong is a major step toward its ambition of becoming a next-generation multinational company with enhanced global competitiveness. It is also a key move to reinforce the company’s vision of connecting global commerce and serving customers worldwide, reflecting the Hong Kong SAR Government’s recognition of Lianlian’s capabilities in technological innovation and cross-border payments infrastructure development.

In his speech, Michael Wong Wai-lun stated, “Hong Kong is the place where the Government and the regulatory authorities are working in close partnership with enterprises so that enterprises will succeed in Hong Kong, in the region and the entire world. We provide first-class hardware and software such that fintech enterprises can leverage our strengths and become successful in whatever products or services that they might choose to deliver.”

At a panel discussion after the opening ceremony, Alpha Lau said, “Hong Kong has always served as the homeport for Mainland enterprises sailing to the world. We will continue to play a guiding role in navigating Mainland enterprises to the international stage, offering one-stop support through the GoGlobal Task Force platform to support Mainland enterprises, such as Lianlian DigiTech and other enterprises aiming to leverage Hong Kong as a springboard to go global.” 

Zhang Zhengyu noted, “Lianlian is committed to integrating China’s economy with global markets and dedicated to delivering efficient, secure and intelligent digital payment solutions through technological innovation and a solid commitment to compliance. Our decision to establish the Overseas Business Headquarters in Hong Kong reflects not only the city’s unique role as a natural bridge between Greater China and the world, but also the Hong Kong SAR Government’s forward-looking vision in charting a digital future. Its ambition to position Hong Kong as a global innovation hub for digital assets aligns closely with Lianlian’s long-term roadmap.”

Mr. Zhang also pointed out that the Overseas Business Headquarters in Hong Kong will serve as Lianlian’s global strategic hub and a cutting-edge innovation proving ground. Building this hub, the company will focus on three key areas. First, implementing a dual-engine approach powered by blockchain technology and artificial intelligence to redefine the future of cross-border payments. With an extensive global licensing network (including 66 payment licenses and related authorizations, as well as the Hong Kong Virtual Asset Trading Platform (VATP) license), Lianlian will use Hong Kong as its central hub. By integrating blockchain and AI technologies at scale, the company will build a scalable and configurable “Intelligent Pay+” architecture to automate, optimize, and reduce the cost of cross-border payment processes, delivering next-generation payment solutions with greater transparency, efficiency, and seamlessness for global businesses.

Second, further solidifying its position as a trusted leader in digital financial infrastructure by reinforcing the dual focus of technology and compliance. The company will strictly adhere to the applicable regulatory frameworks, further developing its technology-driven compliance systems for anti-money laundering, data privacy, and cross-border fund management. Lianlian aims to offer scalable compliance technology solutions to support Hong Kong’s creation of an innovative and stable fintech ecosystem. Lianlian will also facilitate the deep integration of Web2 and Web3 business models in Hong Kong, fostering progress along two parallel tracks. On one hand, the company will continue to strengthen its global end-to-end service capabilities, building a solid foundation upon its established payment infrastructure. On the other hand, Lianlian will collaborate with regulators and industry partners to drive the adoption of digital assets and smart contracts within the cross-border trade sector.

Third, enhancing its innovation ecosystem through global partnerships. In particular, the company will actively partner with leading technology businesses, academic institutions, and investment firms in Hong Kong and worldwide. Through strategic initiatives such as technology mergers and acquisitions, joint research and development (R&D), and ecosystem co-creation, the company will rapidly integrate cutting-edge capabilities in blockchain, AI, and other advanced technologies. This will continuously strengthen the company’s technological infrastructure in cross-border payments and the digital finance ecosystem, providing consistent and robust support for business innovation and long-term growth.

At the inauguration ceremony, Lianlian DigiTech also hosted two parallel forums: “A New Chapter for Doing Business in Hong Kong: Connectivity, Innovation, and the Future” and “Dual-Track Digital Innovation: Expanding Globally with Hong Kong.”

At the forum titled “A New Chapter for Doing Business in Hong Kong“, Alpha Lau, Director-General of Investment Promotion at Invest Hong Kong; Syed Musheer Ahmed, Founder of FinStep Asia; and Xin Jie, CEO of Lianlian DigiTech, joined the discussion to exchange insights on Hong Kong’s value, opportunities, and challenges within today’s global landscape.

At the “Dual-Track Digital Innovation” forum, Rocky Tung, Director & Head of Policy Research, Hong Kong Financial Services Development Council (FSDC); Jonathan Wang, Head of for Commercial and Money Movement Solutions, Greater China, Visa; and Tim Shen, Co-President of Lianlian DigiTech, shared perspectives on Hong Kong’s business and technology ecosystems and explored how to work with Hong Kong to shape the next wave of future growth.

In recent years, the Hong Kong SAR Government has introduced a series of new policies and initiatives to further strengthen the city’s dual role as a “super-connector” and “super value-adder” within the world economy. These efforts have supported more Mainland companies in using Hong Kong as a platform to expand globally. Lianlian DigiTech has long positioned Hong Kong as a strategic hub that connects the Asia-Pacific region to the rest of the world and serves as a key node in building its global business ecosystem. Lianlian first entered the Hong Kong market in 2016 and secured its Money Service Operator (MSO) license in 2017—one of the company’s earliest and most important regulatory approvals. With this foundation, Lianlian established a subsidiary in Hong Kong to deliver cross-border collection, payment acceptance, and payouts for both local businesses and Chinese multinational firms. In March 2024, Lianlian DigiTech was listed on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, increasing international visibility and credibility through Hong Kong’s capital markets. This further strengthened the company’s leadership in fintech and cross-border payments and enhanced its competitiveness in the global payments landscape. In December 2024, DFX Labs Company Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lianlian DigiTech, obtained a VATP license from the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission—an important milestone marking the company’s entry into the virtual asset sector and laying a solid foundation for the future expansion of virtual-asset financial services. In October 2025, Lianlian DigiTech was named a strategic enterprise partner of the Office for Attracting Strategic Enterprises, signifying a major upgrade of its global payment-services network and operational capabilities with Hong Kong serving as a hub for international expansion.

The official inauguration of the Overseas Business Headquarters in Hong Kong marks another strategic milestone for Lianlian DigiTech, heralding the beginning of a new journey that positions Hong Kong as a bridge to connect with global markets and expand worldwide.

Zhang Zhengyu remarked, “Looking ahead, with Hong Kong as our strategic anchor, we will empower Chinese businesses to expand globally and explore international markets while building a vital hub that bridges traditional finance with the digital future. We are excited to contribute to the thriving fintech ecosystem in Hong Kong and help position the city as the new global financial center for the Web3 era. Together, we will embark on a smarter, more interconnected, and more trustworthy digital future.”

Surging AI, Connecting ASEAN — Guangxi’s “A-Super” League Drives Collaborative Achievements

By
Advertorial Desk
-
NANNING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 19 November 2025 – With 9,739 teams assembled, 584 ASEAN teams joining, and 19 competition tracks underway, the A-Super League—officially the Guangxi 2025 AI Empowering Industries Super League—is driving deep integration between artificial intelligence and thousands of industries, while synchronizing the digital transformation of China and ASEAN.

From AI completing a food safety test for Luosifen in 30 seconds to autonomous port vehicles operating safely without human drivers, a series of innovative scenarios have emerged from the meticulous incubation of this “A-Super” League.

At the forefront of China-ASEAN cooperation, Guangxi is using the A-Super League as a fulcrum to accelerate an intelligent transformation across industries—turning the development model of “R&D in Beijing-Shanghai-Guangzhou + integration in Guangxi + application in ASEAN” into a vivid practice of regional digital growth.

A Diverse Set of Tracks Linking to the World

Along the Yongjiang River, innovation momentum continues to rise. On October 30, the AI-Empowered Market Supervision Innovation Application Competition held its final roadshow and awards ceremony in Nanning. Among more than 1,300 national registrations for this track, 36 teams were independently formed by ASEAN countries, while 69 were joint China-ASEAN teams—making it the most active and diverse track for ASEAN participation in the first round of the A-Super League.

This event is only a snapshot. Since its launch in July, all 19 sub-competitions have advanced in full swing. Twelve tracks—including automotive, e-commerce, and healthcare—have hosted their finals or roadshows, while seven tracks—covering education, esports, and transportation—are attracting enthusiastic registrations. The series has drawn 9,739 teams across 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) and 10 ASEAN countries. With Chinese and international teams competing on the same stage, technical ideas are colliding and merging, helping build an open and resilient regional industrial ecosystem with broad participation and full-chain collaboration.

To deepen cross-border cooperation, the A-Super League issued an open invitation to ASEAN companies from the outset, while encouraging joint team formation between Chinese and ASEAN enterprises. Through collaboration, both sides have developed high-quality outcomes such as smart ports, intelligent vehicle cabins, and digital orchards.

Today, 584 ASEAN teams are participating across all tracks. The talent track and e-commerce track each have more than 100 ASEAN teams, reflecting multi-level, wide-coverage cross-border participation. Overseas sub-venues have also been set up in Bangkok (Thailand) and Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), drawing strong engagement from ASEAN students.

Guangxi Takes on the Mission of Integration

“It is no longer just a technical competition—it has become a major platform for China-ASEAN digital cooperation.” This remark by Lu Xinning, Member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee of Guangxi and Vice Chairman of the Autonomous Region, at a State Council Information Office press conference in September, precisely captures the deeper value of the A-Super League.

Guangxi is maximizing its role as an integrator by proactively connecting resources and building a solid bridge for transforming competition results into industrial applications.

The A-Super League has established a full-chain mechanism of “competition selection — resource matchmaking — industrial incubation.” Each event organizer screens projects together with local cities; the Autonomous Region Data Bureau consolidates results; the Autonomous Region Park Office manages industrial landing; and the Autonomous Region Science and Technology Department promotes technology transfer. With clearly defined roles, Guangxi ensures that leading AI technologies from across China align with market needs in ASEAN, unlocking vast regional development potential.

Local Guangxi companies have also made strong showings. Guangxi PinGe Intelligent Life Sciences Co., Ltd. won first prize in the “AI + Market Supervision” track with its independently developed “AI-powered Robotic Microbial Testing Smart Laboratory.” “Our robotic AI lab has been deployed at Bright Dairy in Shanghai, signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Fortune Global 500 company Doosan Group in Korea, and is being used in pharmaceutical factories operated by major European and American companies in India—all developed, researched, and manufactured here in Guangxi,” said company representative Liang Zhihong with pride.

In the “AI + Automotive” Innovation Competition, Malaysian automotive aftermarket leader ServAuto Sdn Bhd showcased an AI-driven one-stop service platform. Through an AI marketing engine, AIGC content production, and omnichannel distribution, the platform enables precise customer acquisition; meanwhile, its AI automotive service engine enhances the user experience with intelligent diagnostics, multilingual customer support, and predictive maintenance. The platform now connects more than 50,000 repair shops and 17 million car owners.

“China has advanced rapidly in AI. We look forward to deeper collaboration with our Chinese partners and to promoting AI adoption in Malaysia’s automotive aftermarket,” said COO Foo Yong Hao.

Industry Empowerment Bringing Tangible Results

From labs to production lines, and from competition arenas to real markets, the A-Super League is accelerating the transformation of technological achievements. Each sub-competition is actively linking participating companies with investors, bringing in leading venture capital institutions and helping high-quality projects secure capital and commercialization.

Focusing on “AI + Culture and Tourism,” the city of Beihai has introduced a full-spectrum support package for award-winning teams, established the China-ASEAN Smart Culture and Tourism Innovation Lab under a “government-industry-academia-research” model, and built a demonstration zone for smart tourism on Weizhou Island. Eleven tech companies from Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen have already joined.

In the “AI + Cross-Border Talent” track, the U.S.-based team led by Luo Xiaozhong developed an AI visual detection system for packaging defects, overcoming the limitations of traditional inspection methods with the world’s first optical smart inspection device capable of addressing near-sightedness and presbyopia. The project has already engaged with Nanning Industrial Investment Group and is expected to settle in Nanning.

Centered on “AI + Automotive,” four teams—ModelBest, Banma Zhixing, Huayu Automotive Electronics, and Nanning Digital Technology Institute—signed major cooperation agreements on-site with institutions such as Geely Automobile Research Institute and Guangxi Haoling Automotive Technology, securing contracts worth tens of millions of yuan and creating strong links between industry, academia, and application. ModelBest VP Yuan Shuai noted that the company plans to deepen its presence in Guangxi and leverage Guangxi as a springboard to explore new opportunities in the ASEAN market.

In the “AI + Market Supervision” track, participating teams addressed core industry challenges and completed 30 technological breakthroughs across six major fields. Among the 42 finalist projects, seven have already been implemented and 35 have been incorporated into follow-up development plans. The outcomes span food safety, special equipment, safety oversight, and cross-border trade, providing strong support for intelligent market governance.

The “AI + Healthcare” track also yielded standout results. A joint research team from Guangxi CDC and Lang Son Province CDC in Vietnam developed an “AI-Powered Infectious Disease Prediction and Early Warning System,” tailored to public health needs across Guangxi and ASEAN. The system addresses issues such as insufficient computing resources and data delays at the grassroots level. It is now being piloted in several regions of Guangxi and, once mature, will be promoted in Vietnam to serve broader ASEAN public health needs.

Innovating for the Future

The A-Super League has become a hub for cutting-edge ideas and industry ecosystem building. Each track is guided by a panel of academicians and industry leaders to ensure rigorous evaluation and effective transformation of results. Leading Chinese tech companies and research institutions play active roles, while major enterprises collaborate with smaller companies in joint innovation.

Here, innovation resources concentrate rapidly: seven tracks—including automotive, e-commerce, culture and tourism, and talent—feature “challenge-based” project mechanisms targeting core technical bottlenecks. Tracks such as culture and tourism and safety are accelerating the development of industry datasets to support AI applications. The competition also includes special awards like “Future ASEAN-Oriented Unicorn Enterprises,” guiding innovation resources toward cross-border applications.

Standing at a new starting point, Guangxi’s A-Super League is expanding its influence beyond competition arenas and into real industries—radiating from Guangxi to ASEAN. Under the national-level platform of the China-ASEAN AI Application Cooperation Center, the innovation loop of “R&D in Beijing-Shanghai-Guangzhou + integration in Guangxi + application in ASEAN” is becoming increasingly solid.

As finals continue across multiple tracks, more innovations are expected to emerge, injecting new vitality into China-ASEAN digital economic cooperation. As Guangxi Party Secretary Chen Gang said at the competition’s launch: “Through this AI competition, we hope to enhance public awareness of AI, keep pace with the times, and embrace this era.”

The A-Super League is only the beginning. The ultimate goal—ensuring that the public shares in the benefits of AI development and fostering long-term, stable China-ASEAN cooperation in artificial intelligence—is the true horizon of this innovation journey.

Clinical Insights from a Multicountry CoolSculpting Study

During the regional webinar, Dr Tan presented key insights from the study titled “Participant Satisfaction, Effectiveness, and Safety With a Novel Dual-Applicator Cryolipolysis System: A Prospective, Multicountry Study”, published in Dermatologic Surgery on 10 September 2025. The research evaluated the clinical efficacy, safety, and patient satisfaction of the CoolSculpting Elite system, a modern cryolipolysis device designed to treat multiple areas simultaneously.

Beyond reviewing the main study results, he highlighted several areas of practical relevance for the medical community, including the study’s methodology, treatment protocols, and endpoints (primary, secondary, and exploratory). Of particular note were the exploratory endpoints, which introduced 3D volumetric assessments to objectively measure fat reduction. This approach provides a comprehensive view of outcomes, offering clinicians further data to guide patient discussions and treatment planning.

Dr Tan also discussed observations on patient comfort, psychosocial well-being, and independent physician evaluations conducted after treatment. This reinforced how data-driven approaches can enhance both clinical consistency and patient experience.

Bridging Clinical Research and Patient Care

Dr Tan’s study and webinar placed the findings within the broader regional context of rising interest in non-surgical body contouring. Across Singapore and Asia, more individuals are turning to medically guided, low-risk fat reduction options that suit their lifestyles and recovery needs. As the only Asian research site involved in the multicountry study, Halley Body Slimming Clinic contributed data with particular relevance for Asian patients and practitioners. These findings highlight the importance of region-specific research that accounts for different body types and aesthetic goals.

Drawing from his experience, Dr Tan addressed practitioner questions on patient comfort, expectation management, and post-treatment evaluation—areas that directly influence treatment outcomes and patient confidence. His responses highlighted how data-driven methods and consistent protocols can help clinicians achieve reproducible results while maintaining patient trust.

Advancing Responsible Innovation in Weight Management

As a CoolSculpting Elite advisor for AbbVie, Dr Tan continues to play an active role in advancing clinical education and practitioner training across the region. Furthermore, his participation in international research and medical forums reflects Halley Body Slimming Clinic’s broader commitment to promoting evidence-based, doctor-led care in aesthetic medicine.

By combining research, experience, and patient education, Halley Body Slimming Clinic seeks to ensure that its weight management practices remain transparent, well-informed, and guided by sound medical principles.

Reflecting on the broader message shared during the regional webinar, Dr Tan noted:

“While technological innovation and rigorous research underpin the effectiveness of medical devices such as CoolSculpting Elite, clinical outcomes ultimately hinge on the expertise of the practitioner.

Proper training, patient assessment, and sound technique remain essential to ensuring both safety and efficacy in fat reduction treatments.”
