HENGQIN, China, Nov. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The 8th China International Circus Festival was held at the Chimelong Kaka Theater in Hengqin, Guangdong from November 1-8, 2025. Hosted by the People’s Government of Guangdong Province and co-organized by the Executive Committee of the Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone in Hengqin and Guangdong Chimelong Group, the event brought together 18 world-class circus troupes and over 500 artists from around the globe. Under the theme “Circus of the world, gather in Hengqin”, the event offered a distinguished celebration of the performing arts that fostered cultural exchange and mutual understanding across languages and traditions.

This year’s program featured leading circus artists from Russia, the United States, Mexico, Mongolia, and China, as well as several other countries and regions. The productions encompassed a broad range of artistic disciplines, including acrobatics, dance, clowning, and magic, and showcased works characterized by regional flair and creative diversity. Among the highlighted performances were multiple gold medal-winning acts from major international circus awards, offering audiences an immersive encounter with different cultures and the enduring appeal of circus artistry.

“Circus is international by nature—it transcends borders and connects different peoples”, said Urs Pilz, President of Fédération Mondiale du Cirque(the World Circus Federation)and Vice President of Monte-Carlo Circus Festival. “China has earned more top honors at the Monte-Carlo International Circus Festival than any other nation. Both the International Circus Festival of Monte-Carlo and the China International Circus Festival stand among the world’s most prominent circus events.” Mr. Pilz also commended Chimelong’s artistic development, noting that its productions have continually set new standards and earned recognition worldwide.

Su Zhigang, Chairman of the co-organizer Chimelong Group, stated that Chimelong remains committed to blending the depth and precision of Chinese acrobatics with the stage aesthetics and humor found in European circus traditions. This cross-cultural fusion has culminated in a series of technically accomplished and tightly coordinated performances at this year’s festival, delivering a cohesive and memorable experience to audiences. These dazzling acts from around the world stand as a testament to the dynamic exchange between Chinese and international circus arts in Hengqin. They represent not only artistic collaboration but also a vivid expression of the festival’s central theme, “Global Circus Arts Converge in Hengqin.”

For 28 years, Chimelong has brought together world-class circus artistry under one roof. Through constant evolution, its productions have remained faithful to traditional forms while pursuing innovation, maintaining excellence while striving beyond it. From its early International Circus Gala, a showcase of the world’s finest circus acts, to Magic Legend, the world’s first large-scale situational circus, and its enhanced Magic Legend III, as well as the Chimelong Show, winner of the 31st TEA Thea Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Spectacle Show category, Chimelong continues to offer year-round performances that reflect the organization’s long-standing commitment to quality cultural and entertainment programming. Guided by Chairman Su Zhigang’s principle of “only pursuing the highest standards”, Chimelong has built its circus empire from the ground up through a sustained dedication to excellence.

H.E. Marie-Pascale Boisson, Ambassador of Monaco to China, conveyed her appreciation following her attendance at the Chimelong Show, noting that circus arts form a special and important bond between Monaco and China. As 2025 marks the 30th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries, the Ambassador expressed her intent to continue collaborating with Chimelong Group to help shape the future of contemporary circus arts worldwide.

With the successful conclusion of its 8th edition, the China International Circus Festival will continue to contribute to the vitality of global circus culture from its base in Hengqin. With a spirit of openness, confidence, and creativity, the festival aims to share a distinctive Chinese perspective with the international community, while supporting the cultural development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

VICTORIA, Seychelles, Nov. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), published its 2025 Ask Satoshi Global Report, uncovering the questions crypto users around the world would ask Bitcoin’s mysterious creator if they finally had the chance. The insights come from Bitget’s #AskSatoshiWithGetAgent campaign, which invited users to “speak” to Satoshi through GetAgent, Bitget’s AI-powered crypto assistant, in celebration of the Bitcoin Whitepaper’s seventeenth anniversary.

Over a two-week period, more than 10,000 participants across 90 countries submitted more than 30,000 questions through GetAgent, Bitget’s AI-powered crypto assistant, offering a rare view into how today’s crypto community interprets Bitcoin’s origin story in an era shaped by artificial intelligence.

The report shows that curiosity around Bitcoin’s purpose remains just as strong as interest in its price. Nearly 40% of all questions centered on whether Bitcoin has stayed true to its original ideals, with users exploring themes of decentralization, trust, and the evolution of digital money. Submissions spanned more than ten languages while vibrant participation emerged from Southeast Asia, South Asia and European markets. A standout 75% of English-language questions came from non-English-speaking countries, highlighting how AI tools like GetAgent are lowering language barriers and helping make crypto learning more accessible across state lines.

AI adoption and trading behavior also showed clear parallels. 90% of core GetAgent users executed trades within the past 30 days, with 75% active in the last week. Peak trading occurred between 10 PM and midnight, and GetAgent usage followed the same pattern, suggesting that traders are increasingly turning to AI for real-time support during active market sessions. Daytime usage leaned toward education, research, and strategy planning, emphasizing GetAgent’s dual role as both an execution partner and a learning tool.

Differences between VIP and regular users were also evident. VIP users interacted with GetAgent more directly, often through K-line charts, and typed more customized queries focused on hedging, market cycles, and macro shifts. Regular users preferred suggested prompts, using the assistant to deepen understanding. Together, these behaviors show how GetAgent mirrors user maturity, trading confidence, and market exposure.

The Ask Satoshi experience captured the philosophical side of the crypto world. The most common questions asked whether Bitcoin still reflects Satoshi’s intent, whether Satoshi would embrace AI and why the creator chose to disappear. Regional variations added nuance with certain speakers focusing on decentralization, with other speakers exploring identity and legacy or security risks.

“The report confirms the global crypto audience is maturing from speculators to stewards, asking profound questions about purpose, not just price,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “Seeing users speak to ‘Satoshi’ through AI showed how global this conversation has become. It’s a reminder that crypto is for the masses and people are trying to understand its fundamentals differently.”

The report reflects a global crypto community that is becoming more knowledgeable, more diverse, and more influenced by AI. As crypto and AI continue to intersect, Bitget’s Universal Exchange model aims to support this next phase, one where traders engage not only with markets, but with the ideas and innovations shaping them. Co-authored with Bitget’s GetAgent, the report draws on the AI assistant’s analytical depth to reveal the patterns, questions, and cultural nuances that define today’s crypto landscape. It demonstrates how GetAgent is evolving from a trading tool into an intelligent collaborator, capable of interpreting global sentiment and illuminating how people around the world think about the future of finance.

SYDNEY, Nov. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — With just days to go until McHappy Day, iconic Aussie DJ Mashd N Kutcher has dropped the official McHappy Day 2025 anthem – a big tune with an even bigger purpose: supporting Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC).

Created in collaboration with Macca’s, the track is more than just music – it’s a celebration of courage, community and kindness, brought to life through Mashd N Kutcher’s signature genre-blending style.

What makes it truly special? It features the real voices of children and families staying at Ronald McDonald House South Brisbane – from chatter around the dinner table and giggles in the playground to their very own remix of the iconic “ba da ba ba ba” jingle.

I hope it makes people smile and inspires them to get involved and donate to McHappy Day this Saturday.”

Amanda Nakad, Marketing Director of Menu and Brand for McDonald’s Australia added: “McHappy Day is a powerful reminder of the difference we can make when we come together. This year, we wanted to do something bold, fresh and fun – and this track absolutely delivers.

“We’re inviting every Aussie to head into their local Macca’s this Saturday, hear the track, join the fun and buy a Big Mac – all to support a cause that’s so close to our hearts.”

RMHC Family Stories

One family that has benefited from the support of RMHC is 14-year-old, Sam, who was flown to Townsville University Hospital in critical condition after a shark attack on Thursday Island. While Sam undergoes treatment, his mum, Shanna has been able to stay at Ronald McDonald House Townsville. Sam’s story is a stark reminder of how quickly life can change, and the vital role of RMHC for families across Australia.

Sam’s Mum, Shanna says: “Since my son’s accident, as a Mum, I’ve found myself stepping into so many roles I never could have imagined. Throughout it all, Ronald McDonald House has provided me with a safe space from the chaos. With it being just a five-minute walk from the Hospital, this has allowed me to stay close to my son, and if I’m needed, I’m never too far away. The house is where I can take off my armour, breathe, refresh, and gather myself, before I need to return. Ronald McDonald House has given me the strength to show up for my boy, day after day – and I couldn’t be more thankful.”

17-year-old Ethan has defied the odds through three cancer diagnoses and spent more than 600 nights at Ronald McDonald House Monash. Now cancer-free, Ethan’s story has come full circle. After meeting McDonald’s Licensees, Tim and Jen Peut at the RMHC Gala Ball and expressing his wish of having a job just like his friends, he landed his first job at his local Macca’s in Sale, Victoria just four days later – marking the next chapter of his journey.

Ethan’s Mum, Mindy on their journey with Ronald McDonald House Charities: “Ronald McDonald House has been a home away from home. Unfortunately, it isn’t something that people know about unless they use it. So that’s why we want to be the voice, to show people that it’s out there and it’s for people to use. We’ve also had the pleasure of using the Ronald McDonald House Learning Program. This has helped Ethan and his sister, Lilly both in a subject or two subjects, each of choice. We’ve also been a part of the Ronald McDonald Family Retreat Program since Ethan was two years old. We stayed at Fiona Lodge, which was absolutely great for the fact that we were concentrating on medical things, schoolwork, and work.”

• Fosters trust between AI agents and merchants with secure seamless transactions that redefine digital commerce
• Catch Visa Intelligent Commerce in action from 12-14 November at Singapore Fintech Festival 2025

SINGAPORE, Nov. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Visa, a global leader in digital payments, today announced significant strides in expanding Visa Intelligent Commerce across Asia Pacific, accelerating the region’s push into agentic commerce – a new era where AI-powered agents shop and pay on behalf of consumers. This expansion delivers fresh progress on Visa’s agentic commerce strategy by introducing new security protocols and pilot programs that are ready to build upon earlier partnerships and initiatives.

 Building an AI-Ready Commerce Ecosystem

Visa Intelligent Commerce, a comprehensive suite of integrated APIs and a partner program, utilises Visa’s secure infrastructure to enable safe, transparent, and consent-driven payments by AI agents, on behalf of consumers. It incorporates features like tokenisation, authentication, payment instructions, and transaction signals, allowing AI agents to operate transparently and securely, and empowers consumers to confidently trust AI-driven commerce interactions to help them shop and pay online.

Over the past year, AI-driven traffic to retail websites has surged over 4,700%, and 85%^[1] of shoppers who have used AI to shop say it improved their shopping experience. Today, Visa is advancing its infrastructure, standards, and capabilities to power AI-driven commerce, opening new opportunities for consumers across Asia Pacific.

Soon, AI agents integrated into familiar platforms will be able to transact using Visa’s 4.8 billion credentials at millions of merchant locations worldwide. This means consumers could simply instruct their AI agent to book travel or buy movie tickets, and have the entire purchase executed securely – a seamless experience backed by Visa’s network and safeguards.

Building Merchant Confidence with Trusted Agent Protocol

Trusted Agent Protocol is a cornerstone of Visa Intelligent Commerce, a new ecosystem-led framework designed by Visa to provide merchants the much-needed assurance in an AI-driven world. Trusted Agent Protocol enable merchants to recognise and verify trusted AI agents with genuine commerce intent, addressing a key concern as online traffic from AI agents grows. It uses agent-specific cryptographic signatures to ensure secure, verified transactions to prevent fraud by distinguishing legitimate agents from malicious bots, and helps to maintain visibility of the consumer behind the agent – preserving customer relationships.

Crucially, Trusted Agent Protocol is designed as an open, low-code solution for merchants to integrate seamlessly without overhauling their infrastructure to benefit. This now ensures that AI agents act on behalf of consumers with transparency, verified intent, and secure credentials. With this framework, merchants can treat AI-driven purchases with the same confidence as human-driven ones.

T.R. Ramachandran, Head of Products and Solutions, Asia Pacific, Visa, said, “Agentic commerce is transforming the very fabric of online payment transactions, requiring a unified ecosystem to unlock its full potential. With Visa Intelligent Commerce and its cornerstone, Trusted Agent Protocol, Visa is connecting consumers, AI agents and merchants through secure, scalable solutions. This ensures every interaction is verified and transparent, empowering all parties of the purchase to embrace this future with confidence.”

Continued Momentum Across Asia Pacific

Visa is actively collaborating with some of the biggest players in AI, Tech and Payments, including Ant International, LG Uplus, Microsoft, Perplexity, Stripe and Tencent, to enable agentic commerce transactions. These partnerships reflect Visa’s vision of an interconnected ecosystem where AI agents and the payment ecosystem work together to deliver smart, trusted commerce experiences.

Looking ahead, Visa plans to launch Visa Intelligent Commerce pilots across Asia Pacific as regulatory and ecosystem readiness advances, by early 2026. This demonstrates Visa’s commitment to collaborating across Visa’s network and AI ecosystem players to accelerate the next wave of AI-powered payments and deliver transformative commerce experiences for this new-generation of AI-native consumers.

Step Into the Payments of Tomorrow, Today

Join Visa at the Singapore Fintech Festival from 12–14 November 2025 and discover how it is shaping seamless, secure, and intelligent payment experiences of the future.
