  • Japanese Anime Captures 60% of Asian Entertainment Revenue While K-Pop’s 150M Global Fans Dominate Music Charts

    According to JapanNews.info, the Asia-Pacific region generated more than 60% of the global anime market’s $34.3 billion in revenue during 2024. Meanwhile, K-Pop continues its extraordinary global reach, with the genre accounting for approximately 2% of the world’s population as dedicated fans.

    Many Asian growing up in Japanese anime and manga, and nowadays  a striking divide in Asian entertainment dominance, with Japanese anime commanding over 60% of entertainment revenue across Asia-Pacific while K-Pop maintains its global music supremacy with an estimated 150 million fans worldwide.

    According to comprehensive industry data compiled by Japan News Info and PR News Releaser, the Asia-Pacific region generated more than 60% of the global anime market’s $34.3 billion in revenue during 2024, driven by streaming platform expansion, merchandise sales, and cross-media adaptations. Meanwhile, K-Pop continues its extraordinary global reach, with the genre accounting for approximately 2% of the world’s population as dedicated fans.

    Anime’s Regional Dominance

    The anime industry’s stronghold in Asia reflects decades of cultural integration and recent digital transformation. Market research indicates Asia-Pacific held between 38.7% to 62.7% of global anime market share in 2024, with total regional revenue projected to reach $18.1 billion by 2030.

    “Asia-Pacific dominated the anime market with the largest revenue share in 2024, driven by increasing consumption of digital content and the popularity of streaming services,” according to industry analysts. Japan remains the production epicenter, while China, South Korea, and Southeast Asian nations have emerged as major consumption markets.

    Streaming platforms have accelerated anime’s accessibility across the region. Netflix expanded its anime catalog to 240 titles in 2024, while specialized platform Crunchyroll tripled its subscriber base from 5 million to over 15 million between 2021 and 2024. Notably, 69% of Gen Z respondents report watching anime content, compared to 57% of millennials.

    The merchandising segment represents the largest revenue stream, accounting for approximately 29-32% of total anime market value. Popular franchises like Demon Slayer, Attack on Titan, and Jujutsu Kaisen generate substantial revenue through licensed products, games, and cross-media adaptations.

    K-Pop’s Global Music Supremacy

    While anime dominates Asian entertainment broadly, K-Pop maintains undisputed leadership in the global music industry. Industry estimates place the worldwide K-Pop fanbase at over 150 million individuals as of 2024, with the genre generating over $5.8 billion in annual revenue.

    K-Pop’s influence extends far beyond Asia, with major markets in North America, Latin America, Europe, and the Middle East. Groups like BTS and BLACKPINK have achieved unprecedented international success, with BTS generating over $4.65 billion annually for South Korea’s economy and BLACKPINK’s music videos regularly surpassing one billion views.

    Social media has proven instrumental in K-Pop’s global expansion. Over 7.8 billion K-Pop-related tweets were posted worldwide in 2021, representing a 16% increase from the previous year. The genre’s carefully orchestrated fan engagement strategies, multilingual content, and polished visual productions have created dedicated international communities spanning diverse demographics.

    Major streaming platforms have recognized K-Pop’s commercial potential, with artists consistently appearing on global charts. BTS’s “Butter” spent 10 non-consecutive weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, while multiple K-Pop groups have achieved top-10 debuts on the Billboard 200 album chart.

    Regional Dynamics and Market Trends

    The entertainment landscape reveals distinct consumption patterns across Asia. While K-Pop enjoys strong popularity in Japan—with groups like Stray Kids and TWICE ranking among Japanese teens’ favorite acts—anime maintains broader entertainment market share through its integration with gaming, merchandise, and digital platforms.

    Southeast Asian markets show particularly high engagement with both formats. Thailand and Indonesia report anime engagement rates of 59% and 56% respectively, while also hosting substantial K-Pop fanbases with dedicated concert audiences and streaming communities.

    Industry experts note the genres serve complementary rather than competing roles. “Young Koreans are now openly consuming Japanese culture, including anime, without the historical stigma,” according to cultural analysts studying cross-border entertainment trends. Similarly, Japanese audiences have embraced K-Pop artists, creating a mutually beneficial cultural exchange.

    Future Outlook

    Both industries show robust growth trajectories. The global anime market is projected to reach $60-68 billion by 2030-2033, with streaming revenue expected to triple from $3.7 billion to $12.5 billion internationally. Technological innovations including AI-assisted production and virtual reality experiences are expanding creative possibilities.

    K-Pop continues aggressive global expansion through strategic partnerships, multilingual releases, and international collaborations. Industry revenue surpassed $10 billion in 2020 and continues growing, with South Korea’s entertainment exports contributing over $5 billion to the national GDP.

    The divergent success patterns—anime’s regional entertainment dominance versus K-Pop’s global music leadership—underscore how different content formats achieve international influence through distinct strategies and audience engagement models.

  • ForeGate: Redefining the Future Through Insight —The Next-Generation Global Prediction Market Platform Officially Launches

    ForeGate officially announces that Michael Owen, the 2001 Ballon d’Or winner and an English football legend, has joined the platform as its Global Brand Ambassador. As a new-generation global prediction market, ForeGate is committed to enabling broader participation in trends and deeper understanding of the future through collective intelligence and structured judgment mechanisms. Against this backdrop, Owen’s appointment is widely seen as a powerful convergence of legendary spirit and forward-looking decision-making.

    During football’s golden era, Owen earned the nickname “the Boy Wonder” through his explosive speed, clinical finishing, and youthful purity. His runs once ignited stadiums across England, and his sprints came to define an age driven by pace. Today, as the football legend enters a new chapter of his life, he once again chases the “wind”—this time not on the pitch, but along a new path shaped by insight and judgment toward the future.

     

    About ForeGate

    ForeGate is a next-generation global prediction market platform covering sports, esports, politics, crypto markets, economic indicators, and major global events.

    With transparency, real-time trends, user co-creation, and collective intelligence as its core pillars, the platform aims to build the most influential prediction ecosystem of the next decade.

    From prediction to insight, from judgment to value creation, ForeGate is redefining the relationship between people and the future.

     

    Redefining Prediction: From the Information Age to the Insight Age

    In the past, prediction belonged to institutions, research teams, or professional investors.

    ForeGate’s mission is to transform prediction into an ability accessible to everyone.

    Through open event creation, transparent market mechanisms, and the aggregation of collective wisdom, the platform empowers every individual to participate in shaping the future through their own understanding, judgment, and experience—whether in sports outcomes, crypto trends, global politics, economic data, or social developments.

    ForeGate believes: the future is not an outcome to be awaited, but a process to be participated in.

    Against the backdrop of technological advancement and evolving cognition, prediction is no longer merely a possibility it is becoming a higher-dimensional way of perceiving the world.

     

    Transparent Mechanisms That Make the Future Visible

    ForeGate’s core competitiveness comes from three fundamental value pillars:

    1.An Open and Transparent Market Logic

    The platform adopts a structured prediction mechanism in which every event, every judgment, and every outcome is fully open and transparent.

    Users can clearly see the logic behind each change instead of being constrained by opaque systems.

    2.A Real-Time Pulse of Global Trends

    From geopolitical shifts to the live momentum of sports and esports, ForeGate constructs dynamic trend patterns through real-time data. The platform is not a static prediction space—it is a constantly pulsing “future dashboard.”

    3.Enhanced Judgment Powered by Collective Intelligence

    When thousands of users participate, fragmented information is reorganized, and trends become clearer.

    ForeGate enables individual insights to interact with collective intelligence, creating a synergistic effect that significantly elevates accuracy and reference value.

     

    More Than a Prediction Platform — A New Layer of Future Infrastructure

    ForeGate’s vision goes far beyond the prediction market itself.

    As the platform evolves, it will continue to expand across trend analytics, data openness, intelligent user profiling, and institutional application layers—forming a global insight ecosystem that transcends industries, cultures, and borders.

    Whether a company seeking early trend signals, media analyzing public sentiment, or an individual trying to understand global developments, ForeGate will become a key index for the future. It is not merely a product—it is an emerging “future infrastructure,” whose significance lies not in revealing results, but in enhancing humanity’s ability to understand what comes next.

     

    Starting Today, Everyone Can Have Their Own “Future Perspective”

    ForeGate introduces a new way to engage with an increasingly complex world.

    It breaks down the long-standing barriers of prediction systems, enabling everyone to express their perspective on the future through their own cognition.

    It makes trends tangible, turns judgment into data, and makes the future something that can be discussed, verified, and participated in.

    While many platforms remain at the level of information, ForeGate has already moved toward the layers of insight, action, and future-building. This marks a turning point for the era—and the beginning of a future that belongs to everyone.

  • European Scientologists 2025 Civic Action and Relentless Social Impact in over 27 countries

    Throughout 2025, reports published by Scientology Europe documented a broad range of community-focused initiatives carried out by Scientologists and Scientology-linked volunteer groups. Spanning dozens of localities across Western, Central, Eastern and Northern Europe, the year’s reporting highlights sustained engagement in public-interest priorities, including drug-prevention education, human-rights awareness, ethical and civic action, and volunteer-led community support, as well as selected global humanitarian developments followed by European audiences.

    Year-end overview brings together dozens of local actions and public events—from Brussels and Vienna to Milan, Prague and Geneva—linked to long-running prevention, education and volunteer programmes.

    European Scientologists’ 2025 Civic Year: Drug Education, Human-Rights Literacy and Community Service Across the Continent

    BRUSSELS, Belgium — 31 December 2025 — Across Europe, the Church of Scientology civic actions maintains a continent-wide presence through more than 140 churches, missions, and affiliated groups in at least 27 European nations, alongside thousands of community-based social betterment and reform initiatives. Supported by a central European hub in Brussels serving European institutions and international organizations, this 2025 year-in-review brings together the initiatives reported throughout the year—reflecting an organized, values-driven commitment to strengthening communities, promoting human dignity, and supporting civic responsibility through practical, local action.

    Throughout 2025, reports published by Scientology Europe documented a broad range of community-focused initiatives carried out by Scientologists and Scientology-linked volunteer groups. Spanning dozens of localities across Western, Central, Eastern and Northern Europe, the year’s reporting highlights sustained engagement in public-interest priorities, including drug-prevention education, human-rights awareness, ethical and civic action, and volunteer-led community support, as well as selected global humanitarian developments followed by European audiences.

    civic action

    Many of the initiatives described during the year draw on long-established educational and humanitarian programmes supported by Scientologists. These include Truth About Drugs materials distributed by the Foundation for a Drug-Free World; Youth for Human Rights educational resources based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; the Scientology Volunteer Ministers programme, which provides training and tools for addressing everyday and emergency challenges; and The Way to Happiness, a non-religious moral code authored by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, presented as a 21-precept guide used in community and civic settings. Together, these programmes form the practical framework through which local initiatives are organised and delivered.

    A year anchored in European civic life

    The year opened in Belgium with coverage marking institutional milestones in Brussels, where an anniversary event commemorated five decades of Scientology’s presence in the capital of Europe and fifteen years at Boulevard de Waterloo. The gathering brought together representatives of other faiths and civil-society actors, with Ivan Arjona-Pelado, Scientology’s representative to the European Union institutions and the United Nations, reflecting on the organisation’s history in Belgium and its public-facing social initiatives.

    Early-year reporting also recognised volunteer work in Central Europe, highlighted international awareness campaigns addressing human trafficking, and provided a broader institutional overview of Scientology’s global activities entering 2025. Together, these initial reports set the tone for a year focused on continuity, public engagement and structured civic contribution.

    Religious freedom, human-rights advocacy and public presence

    As the year progressed, reporting reflected sustained engagement with questions of religious freedom, human rights and public participation. Coverage included Scientology’s involvement in international discussions on freedom of belief, the opening of new community facilities in Central Europe designed to serve as local hubs, and advocacy initiatives addressing human rights in the field of mental health through the work of the Citizens Commission on Human Rights.

    Awards 2025

    Additional reports during this period underscored growing public interest and long-term presence in several European countries, alongside charitable and volunteer activities addressing social needs, including Sweden’s recognition milestone and community-facing engagement in Denmark. A commemorative feature marking the birthday of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard situated these activities within the historical context of the movement’s humanitarian emphasis.

    Prevention and education as sustained priorities

    Drug-prevention outreach and youth education formed one of the most consistent strands of activity throughout 2025. From spring onward, reports described grassroots initiatives engaging young people, parents and educators, including local prevention outreach in Denmark, as well as coordinated national efforts in several countries such as France. These activities ranged from neighbourhood-level distribution of educational materials to larger public campaigns and community events, reflecting a sustained focus on early prevention and informed decision-making.

    Denmark antidrug scientology

    Public-space outreach at cultural and sporting events complemented this work, including Brussels-based engagement at public festivals. The year concluded with further reports of street-level prevention initiatives in major European cities, including work in Vienna, illustrating how prevention education continued as an active priority through the final months of the year.

    Civic action, ethics and volunteer service in public spaces

    Alongside prevention and education, visible community service remained a central feature of the year’s activities. Reports documented coordinated volunteer actions across multiple cities, including multi-city civic initiatives in the Czech Republic, addressing practical needs such as neighbourhood improvement, environmental stewardship and community assistance.

    Particular attention was given to initiatives led by Volunteer Ministers and groups distributing The Way to Happiness in public spaces, highlighting ethical guidance and civic responsibility as tools for strengthening public spaces and local cooperation. Activities in Southern and Central Europe, as well as cross-border efforts, illustrated how these initiatives were adapted to local contexts while remaining aligned with shared principles, including Swiss civic action and community events in Lugano.

    Human-rights education and international dialogue

    Human-rights education constituted a third pillar of the year’s reporting, with recurring references to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as an educational foundation.

    09.12.2025 UN 12

    Local events across Europe focused on bringing human-rights principles into schools, associations and community forums, including a continent-wide focus on UDHR education, while international coverage from Geneva connected grassroots education with broader institutional dialogue around Human Rights Day.

    Related reporting also addressed freedom of belief and coexistence, including recognition of voices for religious freedom, as well as public reflections on the role of belief in contemporary European societies, including commentary on Pope Leo XIV’s October prayer.

    Community life, interfaith moments and international perspectives

    Beyond structured programmes, 2025 coverage reflected the everyday community life of Scientologists across Europe. Reports highlighted interfaith greetings and cultural celebrations, seasonal events, national anniversaries and local ceremonies, including a Spain-focused milestone marking 45 years of Scientology’s presence, illustrating how community engagement extended beyond formal initiatives.

    Scientology Naming Ceremony newborn

    Additional features introduced European audiences to international humanitarian stories and media profiles, including Isabelle Vladoiu’s human-rights profile, Voices for Humanity with Catalina Maldonado, a literacy campaign featured on Voices for Humanity, and a Netherlands-based foundation training youth on media and human rights, underscoring the global dimension of the movement’s social outreach.

    In a statement prepared for this year-end overview, Ivan Arjona-Pelado, Scientology’s representative to the European Union, the OSCE, the Council of Europe and the United Nations, said:

    “Across Europe, trust in our communities is built through practical responsibility—helping neighbours, maintaining dignified public spaces, sharing factual prevention education, and ensuring young people understand their rights. These are civic values Europeans recognise, and they are strengthened when citizens act consistently and locally.”

    Taken together, the actions documented throughout 2025 demonstrate a clear and continuous contribution by European Scientologists and Scientology-linked volunteers to public-interest priorities, including prevention, education, human rights and community resilience. Rooted in the humanitarian principles articulated by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard and aligned with European values of responsibility and solidarity, these initiatives reflect a sustained commitment to strengthening social cohesion, safeguarding human dignity and supporting constructive civic engagement across the continent.

    The Church of Scientology, its churches, missions, groups and members are present throughout the European continent. Scientology is a contemporary religion founded by L. Ron Hubbard, and its members support a range of community initiatives focused on education, prevention and community betterment. Scientology’s European public-affairs work includes engagement with civil society, international organisations and public institutions, and its recognition as a charitable and bona fide religion continues to grow in a number of jurisdictions.

  • Pulitzer-Nominated Lauren Coyle Rosen Unveils a Creative Triple Crown

    The genre-blending album “Twilight Streams” arrives alongside two major books, spotlighting the author and artist’s fusion of music, mythology, and feminist thought.

    United States, 31st Dec 2025 – Pulitzer-nominated author, cultural anthropologist, and singer-composer Lauren Coyle Rosen is entering a striking new creative chapter with the announcement of her seventh music album, Twilight Streams, alongside two major forthcoming books—including a highly anticipated collaboration with folk-rock legend Ani DiFranco.

    Based in Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia, Coyle Rosen will release Twilight Streams on Jan. 31, 2026. The album weaves together synth and chamber pop, hypnotic rhythmic textures, and her signature ethereal vocals, all anchored by poetic, spiritually infused lyrics.

    “For Twilight Streams, I expanded far beyond my usual realm of familiarity and comfort—both in sound and language,” Coyle Rosen said. “As I composed the songs, I visualized and even embodied some of the most profound spiritual lessons and wisdom I’ve encountered in my life. I hope the sonic tonic conveys the powers, contradictions, and unyielding truths at play in many theaters of human experience.”

    The new album arrives on the heels of an extraordinarily prolific period that saw Coyle Rosen release her first six albums in 2025, cementing her reputation as an artist unafraid of bold creative momentum.

    Twilight Streams also follows her recent announcement of another major literary work, Goddess—a sweeping global history of goddesses that examines their cultural centrality as well as their systematic erasures. The book will be published by Holt.

    In addition, Coyle Rosen is preparing for the March 3, 2026 release of The Spirit of Ani: Reflections on Spirituality, Feminism, Music, and Freedom, a book she coauthored with DiFranco. The title is now available for preorder through Amazon and other major booksellers. Signed copies and limited-run prints of DiFranco’s painting Spirit Becomes Flesh are available through the book’s publisher, Akashic Books.

    “The collaborative book I wrote with the singer-songwriter Ani DiFranco, as well as the collaborative spiritual biography I wrote with composer Hannibal Lokumbe, helped inspire my turn toward trusting my own creative flow in music,” Coyle Rosen said. “It’s amazing how fast composing can go when I get out of my own way and trust my intuition.”

    Twilight Streams will be available on all major streaming platforms and through laurencoylerosenmusic.com. Coyle Rosen’s music can also be found on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and other digital platforms. More information about her writing, art, and upcoming releases is available at laurencoylerosen.com.

    ABOUT THE ARTIST: Lauren Coyle Rosen is an award-winning, Pulitzer Prize–nominated author, singer-songwriter, artist, and cultural anthropologist. She has published twelve books—including four works of nonfiction—and is currently completing Goddess: A History (Henry Holt, forthcoming). Her nonfiction titles include The Spirit of Ani (coauthored with Ani DiFranco), Hannibal Lokumbe, Law in Light, and Fires of Gold. As a musician, she has released five acclaimed albums blending synth dream pop, spiritual jazz, and chamber sounds, available on all major streaming platforms. A former Princeton University professor and current Harvard University fellow, she lives in Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia with her husband, Jeffrey Rosen.

  • Solli Rothschild Advances a Selective Model for International Private Financial Platforms

    Norway, 24th Dec 2025 – Solli Rothschild, founder of Rothschild Prive Finance, continues to shape a selective and institutionally grounded approach to private financial and lifestyle services, addressing the evolving needs of internationally mobile clients who prioritize discretion, structural clarity, and long-term alignment.

    Rothschild Prive Finance operates as an invitation-only platform, designed to serve individuals whose financial and lifestyle requirements extend across multiple jurisdictions. Rather than pursuing volume-driven growth, the institution emphasizes governance, internal review, and relationship continuity as foundational principles.

    “Private finance is not defined by visibility or scale,” Solli Rothschild stated. “It is defined by structure, consistency, and the ability to maintain standards over time.”

    A European Framework for Modern Private Finance

    With professional and cultural roots across Northern and Eastern Europe, including Norway, Poland, and Ukraine, Solli Rothschild brings a distinctly European perspective to private financial platform development. Her approach reflects long-standing traditions of restraint and institutional continuity, favoring durability over acceleration.

    This philosophy informs the strategic positioning of Rothschild Prive Finance, which is designed to operate as a long-term platform rather than a transactional service. According to company representatives, this framework allows the institution to maintain alignment with clients whose financial lives are shaped by international mobility and regulatory complexity.

    Academic Foundation and Strategic Discipline

    Rothschild’s academic background includes formal education in microbiology, alongside qualifications in interior and exterior design. This multidisciplinary foundation contributes to a methodical and design-conscious approach to institutional development, integrating analytical rigor with structural and spatial awareness.

    Her professional engagement in competitive chess further reinforces a strategic mindset centered on foresight, risk evaluation, and long-term positioning—elements that are reflected in the governance and operational structure of Rothschild Prive Finance.

    Invitation-Only Structure and Governance

    At the core of Rothschild Prive Finance is a strict invitation-based onboarding model. All prospective clients are subject to comprehensive internal review, with acceptance determined by long-term compatibility rather than transactional demand.

    This governance-driven structure, Rothschild notes, is essential to maintaining institutional credibility. “Selectivity is not exclusivity for its own sake,” she explained. “It is a necessary condition for trust and operational resilience.”

    The institution’s framework integrates premium financial access with curated lifestyle services, offering clients a platform designed to support cross-border living while maintaining disciplined internal standards.

    Measured International Orientation

    While strategically anchored in Europe, Rothschild Prive Finance is structured for multi-jurisdictional adaptability. Its infrastructure is designed to accommodate gradual international expansion, guided by regulatory readiness and sustained client demand rather than accelerated market entry.

    Company representatives emphasize that geographic growth remains carefully sequenced, consistent with the institution’s commitment to long-term stability.

    Broader Portfolio and Long-Term Vision

    In addition to Rothschild Prive Finance, Solli Rothschild’s broader entrepreneurial portfolio includes ventures in luxury commerce and beauty services, including LuxuryEuropeanOutlet.com and Rothschild Beauty Club. Across sectors, her work demonstrates a consistent focus on structure, design intelligence, and brand integrity.

    Rothschild continues to position her ventures as enduring platforms rather than short-term initiatives, aligning with a broader philosophy that values discretion, governance, and controlled evolution.

    About Solli Rothschild

    Solli Rothschild is an entrepreneur and founder of Rothschild Prive Finance, an invitation-only private financial and lifestyle services platform serving internationally mobile clients.

  • CMS (867.HK/8A8.SG): Innovative Drug Oral JAK1 Inhibitor Povorcitinib Has Been Included in the List of Breakthrough Therapeutic Drugs in China

    China, 22nd Dec 2025 – China Medical System Holdings Limited (“CMS”, or the “Group”) is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, Dermavon Holdings Limited (“Dermavon”, an innovative pharmaceutical company specialized in skin health which is applying for an independent listing on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, please refer to the announcement of the Company dated 22 April 2025 for details), has obtained the relevant licensing rights to the innovative oral JAK1 inhibitor povorcitinib (proposed English generic name: Povorcitinib Phosphate Tablets) (“povorcitinib” or the “Product”), which has been included in the list of Breakthrough Therapeutic Drugs by the Center for Drug Evaluation of the National Medical Products Administration of the People’s Republic of China (“NMPA”), with a proposed indication for adult patients with non-segmental vitiligo. This certification has the potential to accelerate the development and review process of the Product.

    Povorcitinib is a selective oral small-molecule JAK1 inhibitor, with compound and use patents in certain countries/regions in the Territory. Currently, povorcitinib is in Phase 3 clinical trials for non-segmental vitiligo, moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) and prurigo nodularis in several countries outside China. A Phase 2 clinical trial for the treatment of asthma is also ongoing.

    In March 2023, Incyte announced that povorcitinib met the primary endpoint in a global multi-center Phase 2b clinical trial for non-segmental vitiligo. Results showed that after 24 weeks of treatment, compared with vehicle, total body repigmentation of patients treated with povorcitinib once daily was significantly improved. Furthermore, according to the extended Phase 2b trial, longer-term use of povorcitinib demonstrated further improvement in total body and facial repigmentation with a favorable tolerability profile[1]. 

    In August 2025, Dermavon received the drug clinical trial approval notice issued by NMPA to conduct clinical trials of povorcitinib for the treatment of non-segmental vitiligo and other indications. Dermavon has initiated the clinical development of the Product in China and may consider further initiating clinical development of povorcitinib in China for the treatment of skin-related diseases such as HS and prurigo nodularis in the future.

    Vitiligo is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by depigmentation of the skin, which results from the loss of pigment-producing cells known as melanocytes. It is estimated that there are approximately 10.3 million vitiligo patients in China and non-segmental vitiligo patients account for approximately 8.2 million[2]. Currently, therapeutic options for vitiligo are limited, and the condition is difficult to treat, especially for patients with moderate to severe extensive vitiligo. If approved in China, povorcitinib could provide a differentiated treatment option for patients with non-segmental vitiligo.

    The Product’s inclusion in the list of Breakthrough Therapeutic Drugs is expected to accelerate its development and review process in mainland China. If approved for marketing in China, the Product has the potential to synergize with Dermavon’s commercialized innovative drug ILUMETRI (tildrakizumab injection), commercialized exclusive drug Hirudoid (mucopolysaccharide polysulfate cream) and the innovative drug currently under New Drug Application (NDA) review ruxolitinib phosphate cream, helping the product to quickly realize its clinical and commercial value and benefit more patients with skin diseases. Furthermore, if approved, the Product, together with topical ruxolitinib phosphate cream, will provide vitiligo patients with differentiated and comprehensive treatment options.

    The Group, through a subsidiary of Dermavon entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) for povorcitinib on 31 March 2024 with Incyte, obtaining an exclusive license to research, develop, register and commercialize the Product in Mainland China, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Macao Special Administrative Region, Taiwan Region and eleven Southeast Asian countries (the “Territory”) and a non-exclusive license to manufacture the Product in the Territory.

  • UniOne Global Industry Summit and the First Leadership Training Conference have been successfully concluded

     

    China,Hong Kong,Dec.20th.Responding to the Era of Global Uncertainty with Industrial Consensus and Organizational Capacity

    In the context of ongoing reshaping of the global industrial structure and accelerated evolution of organizational forms, truly valuable conferences have long moved beyond mere information display or short-term incentives, instead focusing on strategic direction-setting, system development, and consensus-building.

    The UniOne Global Industry Summit and the inaugural Leadership Training Program represent a systematic and in-depth dialogue centered on this core objective.

    During the opening session, UniLabs ‘Chief Consultant delivered a keynote address, providing a systematic analysis of UniOne’s current development stage from the perspectives of global industrial cycles, organizational evolution, and long-termism. The speech not only reviewed the evolving trends in the global economy and industrial structure but also highlighted UniOne’s strategic path and core decisions within this cycle, establishing a clear and robust strategic foundation for the entire conference.

    During the session, the co-founder of Uni Labs delivered a keynote presentation on UNIONE’s industrial strategy and development roadmap. The presentation provided a comprehensive overview of UniOne’s industrial framework, core business focus, and phased objectives. It not only covered the current priority sectors but also outlined the development pace and priorities for the coming period, enabling attendees to grasp UniOne’s long-term strategic vision holistically rather than focusing narrowly on individual businesses or short-term opportunities.

    On the topic of industrial layout, the conference elaborated in depth on UniOne’s holistic ecosystem framework and development strategy, emphasizing diversified collaboration over singular reliance. Through clear industrial division of labor and collaborative mechanisms, it aims to build a systemic ecosystem with risk resilience and continuous evolution capabilities. This discussion not only addresses the question of’ what to do, ‘but also reveals the fundamental rationale behind’ why to do it.’

    The conference’s economic model discussions focused on the long-term rationality of value creation and distribution mechanisms, systematically analyzing the interplay between participant roles, incentive structures, and ecosystem stability. Through rational and transparent analysis, it emphasized that sustainable development must be grounded in tangible value and clear rules, rather than relying on short-term emotions or external stimuli. This section provided participants with a critical framework to understand the overall functioning of the ecosystem.

     

    The meeting expanded its focus to innovation and foundational capacity building, with in-depth discussions on innovation incubation, technical support, and organizational empowerment. Through a systematic analysis of the innovation ecosystem, it was emphasized that UniOne prioritizes not only business expansion but also the continuous development of core competencies and talent systems, ensuring stable support for the long-term sustainability of its ecosystem.

     

    The conference will shift its focus from “individual capabilities” to “organizational synergy” in leadership and organizational development, emphasizing that leadership is fundamentally about building trust, fostering consensus, and continuously amplifying team effectiveness. Through sharing real-world cases and practical experiences, it explores how to build teams with execution, cohesion, and long-term resilience within multicultural and complex organizational structures.

    The conference transcended isolated discussions of specific topics, instead weaving together industrial, model, organizational, and leadership dimensions to forge a cohesive cognitive framework. This approach enabled participants to gain a higher-dimensional understanding of their roles and future trajectories.

    The UniOne Global Industry Summit and the inaugural Leadership Training Program wasn’t a one-time conclusion presentation, but rather a collaborative exploration of long-term value.

    It does not convey the path to quick success, but how to build the ability and consensus of certainty in the uncertain times.

    This is the core and the most long-term value of the conference.

  • Q4 2025 Roundup: Scientology-Linked Volunteers Support European Social Initiatives

    A quarterly roundup tracks Scientology-affiliated volunteers across Europe executing more than 40 community initiatives from October to December 2025, highlighting environmental cleanups, drug-prevention outreach, and human-rights education in countries such as the Czech Republic, Italy, France, Denmark, and Switzerland, with activities framed as secular, educational efforts to bolster civic participation and social cohesion. The report notes coordinated efforts by Volunteer Ministers and partner organizations, including public-space restoration, classroom and community workshops, and high-visibility campaigns tied to The Way to Happiness and UDHR education, designed to engage diverse communities and promote dignity, responsibility, and cross-sector collaboration.

    European Community Initiatives Linked to Scientology Mark Final Quarter of 2025 with Cleanups, Drug-Prevention Outreach and Human-Rights Education

    Roundup highlights local volunteer activity in Italy, France, Czech Republic, Denmark and Switzerland during October–December 2025.

    BRUSSELS, Belgium — 17 December 2025 — During the last quarter of 2025, volunteer groups connected with the Church of Scientology and its long-running social betterment initiatives reported a range of community projects across Europe, spanning environmental cleanups, fact-based drug-prevention outreach, and human-rights education activities aimed at civic participation and social cohesion.

    Community cleanups and practical civic service

    In the Czech Republic, Volunteer Ministers associated with the Church of Scientology reported more than 40 community activities during October across Prague, Brno, Plzeň and Pelhřimov, combining public-space restoration with assistance to local charities. The reported effort included weekly volunteer teams and a larger-scale cleanup in Brno that, according to organisers, removed significant waste and restored neglected green areas; volunteers also described collecting and delivering clothing donations to a Catholic charity as part of practical cooperation on local needs.

    In Turin, Italy, organisers described weekly Sunday cleanups around the former Dora railway station as a sustained neighbourhood initiative that expanded across several northern districts (including Borgo Vittoria and Barriera di Milano). The activity was coordinated by the civic association Procivicos and framed as combining environmental action with community values, referencing The Way to Happiness, a secular moral code written by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard.

    Switzerland also featured in the quarter’s activity reports, including community-oriented initiatives linked to The Way to Happiness campaign and related local events where volunteers reported promoting civic responsibility and respectful conduct as part of everyday community improvement.

    Drug-prevention education and local outreach

    In France, Drug-Free World volunteers reported intensified outreach during October, describing engagement with parents, educators, shopkeepers, and health professionals across multiple regions. Reported activities included distributing more than a thousand educational booklets through local businesses in Brittany, wider outreach in western France (including engagement with pharmacists and municipal workers), and additional activity in Loire and Rhône-Alpes. Organisers also described major distribution efforts in Reims, along with outreach in Paris, Bordeaux, Agen, Toulouse, Nice, Belfort and Marseille, often using shopfront displays and street-level conversations to make prevention materials accessible to the public.

    signal 2025 04 02 175108 003

    In Denmark, a youth-led outreach initiative reported engaging more than 500 shopkeepers in Copenhagen to display and distribute drug-education booklets, with volunteer teams described as ranging in age from 10 to 20. The same reporting linked these efforts to broader trends identified in a 2025 publication from the Danish Centre for Drug Research, which noted a decline in the share of 15–25-year-olds who have tried cannabis (from 44.0% in 2014 to 31.6% in 2025), alongside other reductions in reported substance use over time.

    In Lugano, Switzerland, organisers also reported public-facing drug-prevention visibility linked to a major local running event during October, using the occasion to engage families and participants with educational messaging focused on prevention and informed choices.

    Human-rights education and dialogue

    In Milan, a human-rights gathering hosted at the Church of Scientology of Milan and organised by the association Diritti Umani e Tolleranza brought together community representatives—described as including members of Latin American and African communities in northern Italy—for training and dialogue around the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). Organisers stated that participants completed a structured course based on the United for Human Rights education programme, intended for use in schools, youth settings and neighbourhood initiatives.

    09.12.2025 UN 12

    At the international level, Geneva’s Palais des Nations hosted the conference “Human Rights and Peace – Better Together,” promoted by Organizzazione per i Diritti Umani e la Tolleranza (an NGO reported as holding UN ECOSOC consultative status since 2017) and held around Human Rights Day. The programme highlighted the role of education and cross-sector cooperation in strengthening social inclusion and preventing discrimination, with sessions addressing freedom of thought, conscience and belief, and the practical application of human-rights instruments in public life.

    Across Europe more broadly, Scientology-linked human-rights initiatives described ongoing dissemination of UDHR educational materials through partner programmes such as Youth for Human Rights, positioning human-rights literacy as a preventive tool against discrimination and social fragmentation.

    Ivan Arjona-Pelado, the Church of Scientology’s representative to the EU, OSCE, Council of Europe and the United Nations, offered the following proposed comment for use with this quarterly overview:

    “Europe’s values are strengthened when citizens choose practical responsibility—keeping public spaces clean, sharing factual prevention tools, and teaching the next generation that rights and dignity apply to everyone. Social cohesion grows through consistent, local action.”

    Context: the social programmes behind the activities

    The initiatives referenced in this quarterly roundup draw on long-running campaigns supported by Scientologists and partner associations, including: drug-prevention education (using “Truth About Drugs” materials), human-rights education based on the UDHR through United for Human Rights and Youth for Human Rights, Scientology Volunteer Ministers in natural disasters and community civics and ethics initiatives linked to The Way to Happiness. These programmes are presented by organisers as secular, educational tools used in public settings—schools, community groups and neighbourhood initiatives—alongside local volunteering and dialogue efforts.

    The Church of Scientology, its missions, groups and members are present throughout the European continent, and its recognition as a charitable and bona fide religion continues to grow. Across Europe, Scientologists and associated civic partners take part in education, prevention and community-betterment efforts, including drug-prevention information, human-rights education, values and volunteer-led local service activities.

  • Paul George Savluc: The Engineer Connecting AI, Robotics, Industry, and Health at Internet Scale

    Paul George Savluc Advances International Initiative for Agentic AI, Digital-Twin Simulation, and Generative Hardware Development for Industry

    Paul started from nothing, graduating with a bachelor’s at the age of 19, while working multiple jobs at once. He inspired, trained and mentored over 3000 engineers over the past 2-3 years. He even is on the official verified credits section for the Mandalorian Season 3.

    As can be verified here: “The Mandalorian” Chapter 23: The Spies (TV Episode 2023) – Full cast & crew – IMDb

    He’s building a pipeline of outcomesAI systems that shipengineering platforms that accelerate real hardware, and business development networks that move deals across borders. Add to that a serious push into medical technology and non-intrusive sensing, and you get a profile that’s increasingly rare: a founder-operator who can speak software, hardware, data, and deployment without turning it into vaporware.

    What makes Paul unusually visible is not just the work, it’s the distribution. His network is being grown with a media and partnership strategy designed to amplify technical and business content at scale. Based on internal projections tied to current growth and publishing cadence, the network is targeting 7M+ views in 2025 and 100M+ views in 2026. Those are forecasts, not guarantees, but the direction is clear: Paul is building the kind of reach that turns engineering into a global conversation and turns conversations into contracts.

    A business development network built like a system

    Most “networking” is chaos. Paul’s approach is closer to an engineered system: repeatable, measurable, and designed for compounding.

    He’s been developing a business development engine that connects:

    • founders and engineers who need build capacity,
    • companies who need product acceleration and data systems,
    • organizations who need credible technical leadership in public.

    The point is not hype. The point is high-trust distribution: producing content, demos, technical breakdowns, and partnership outreach that makes it easier for serious organizations to say yes, faster.

    Engineering and AI: from ideas to working systems

    Paul’s technical work clusters around applied AI infrastructure and generative engineering:

    • Building LLM and NLP pipelines that are designed for production constraints, not demos.
    • Developing workflows for generative AI in electronics and embedded systems, where constraints are real and mistakes are expensive.
    • Prioritizing simulation and digital-twin thinking, because the cheapest prototype is the one you can break in software before you break it in the real world.

    That mindset shows up in his platform work at OpenQQuantify and in analytics and automation efforts across business systems.

    The medical and health-tech side: non-intrusive sensing and practical diagnostics

    Paul’s medical-side work focuses on engineering realities that matter: signal quality, usability, privacy, and deployment.

    His interests and efforts include:

    • A worldwide medical platform for people to talk to online doctors and book specialized medical help.
    • Online AI Medical Diagnostics
    • Non-intrusive sensing for monitoring physiological signals using modalities like EEG-adjacent approaches, acoustics, and other sensor pathways.
    • Building health-tech concepts that lean toward real utility: better monitoring, better data capture, better interpretation, and better integration into systems people already use.

    This is not “health content.” It’s engineering applied to human outcomes, where safety, accuracy, and reliability are the whole game.

    Why companies hire and contract Paul

    Organizations bring Paul in when they need someone who can operate across layers:

    • AI engineering + infrastructure
    • electronics and embedded constraints
    • product delivery and systems architecture
    • partnership and deal motion

    He’s built to be a multiplier: capable of building directly, but also capable of shaping roadmaps, teams, and execution that survives reality.

    What Paul is actively open to worldwide

    Paul is a strong fit for global roles and contracts in:

    • Business Development (Digital and Physical)
    • Applied LLM systems (RAG, tool use, retrieval, evaluation, latency work)
    • MLOps and ML systems engineering (pipelines, monitoring, data quality, deployment)
    • AI + simulation and digital-twin engineering
    • Robotics
    • Embedded and edge systems with AI integration
    • Health-tech sensing and signal-driven system design
    • Technical product leadership and founder-level execution

    Paul is building compounding distribution around real engineering output, and that combination tends to scale fast when it’s consistent.

    Cybersecurity and government compliance automation: making regulation executable

    Savluc’s published work highlights a practical theme: compliance is not just policy, it’s an operational system. His books focus on turning U.S. Government contracting and cybersecurity requirements into repeatable engineering workflows, bridging controls, audit-readiness, incident response expectations, and systems automation.

    His current Amazon Kindle titles include:

    Amazon.com: The US Government Compliance Automation Handbook: How to Work with the US Government : From FAR and DFARS to Cybersecurity, Privacy, Labor, Exports, Audit Survival, and Systems Automation with Python

    Amazon.com: Comprehensive Guide for Defense and US‑Government Cybersecurity & Contracting Compliance: Compliance Guide: FAR/DFARS, CMMC, NIST 800-171, Incident Response, ITAR/EAR, and Post-Quantum Cryptography
