关于新冠变异株“蝉”的须知

March 31, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - 时至今日，新冠病毒持续变异、新毒株不断出现已不足为奇。而最新的一种毒株在2024年首次出现后，甚至正在不受欢迎地卷土重来。以下是关于新冠变异株“蝉”再度出现的相关信息。为什么新的新冠变异株被称为“蝉”？根据美国疾病控制与预防中心的数据，编号为BA.3.2、绰号“蝉”的变异株于2024年底首次在南非开始感染人类。它曾被其他变异株压制，但大约一年后，它在美国重新出现并开始引发感染——这种休眠和活跃的模式类似于蝉的生命周期。目前，“蝉”毒株在美国尚未导致大量新增感染，但在近几个月欧洲约30%的新冠感染病例中发现了它的踪迹。“蝉”毒株与之前的新冠毒株有何不同？科学家表示，“蝉”毒株在刺突蛋白上携带70至75个新突变，而刺突蛋白是人类免疫系统识别和攻击的目标。这比2023年开始传播的更主流的变异株的突变还要多。但更令人安心的一面是，“蝉”仍然属于奥密克戎病毒家族（该家族于2021年首次出现，同样在南非），这意味着它可能仍与近期的变异株共享一些遗传相似性。“蝉”毒株的传播范围有多广？到目前为止，“蝉”毒株已在美国超过二十多个州引起感染，尽管关于新冠感染及其背后毒株的信息不如以前可靠和精确。现在更多人使用居家检测试剂盒，而医生和公共卫生官员不再像过去那样需要频繁报告新冠病例。新冠疫苗对“蝉”毒株有保护作用吗？由于“蝉”是新冠奥密克戎病毒家族的一部分，针对奥密克戎主流毒株（如JN.1）的更新版疫苗在对抗BA.3.2方面仍然有效。然而，鉴于病毒的变异，它们提供的保护力可能会减弱。范德比尔特大学医学中心传染病教授、美国传染病学会前董事会成员威廉·沙夫纳博士表示：“目前的疫苗是否提供一些保护？实验室数据表明是肯定的，但保护力没那么强。”“看起来，我们从病毒经验和疫苗中获得的所有保护措施，可能对这种毒株提供的是更有限——不是零——但更有限的保护。”这是基于CDC所说的实验室研究，该研究表明“蝉”能够逃逸部分基于疫苗的保护。沙夫纳指出，近期联邦政府关于谁应该接种年度新冠疫苗的建议发生变化，导致公众困惑，这正使得整体新冠疫苗接种率降低。这包括那些最容易发展成重症和住院的人群，例如老年人和免疫系统较弱的人。根据CDC的数据，新冠住院人数在12月底和1月初达到高峰，尤其是在75岁及以上人群中。沙夫纳说：“如果我们观察持续因新冠入院的患者，他们确实是高风险人群的成员，但他们几乎普遍还有一个共同特征——那就是他们没有及时接种疫苗。”CDC表示，高风险人群不仅应在秋季接种新冠疫苗，也应在夏季来临前接种，因为与流感不同，新冠似乎一年有两次高峰。疫苗的目的不是完全防止他们感染新冠病毒，而是可能保护他们免于发展成足以需要住院的重症。沙夫纳说：“疫苗的功能是让我们避免住院。”“它在预防轻症方面效果不是很好；其最佳效果在于避免重症。”许多因新冠住院的人未及时接种疫苗这一事实表明，疫苗虽然不直接针对“蝉”毒株，但仍能提供一定的保护。新新冠变异株的症状是什么？其症状与之前的新冠变异株没有区别：喉咙痛、发烧或发冷、头痛、咳嗽、身体疼痛和流鼻涕。这些症状与流感相似，因此确认是否感染新冠的最佳方法是进行检测。大多数症状会持续几天到一周。新冠检测试剂对“蝉”毒株还有效吗？沙夫纳说，这仍然有点不确定；相关数据尚未获得。但一些专家表示，由于这些检测寻找的是病毒中不易变化的部分，因此它们应该仍然能够检测出“蝉”毒株。“蝉”毒株导致的疾病是否比之前的变异株更严重？目前尚不清楚“蝉”毒株的突变是否会导致比之前变异株更严重的新冠疾病，也不清楚如果它能够逃逸人类免疫系统，是否会成为主流毒株。医生需要研究更多病例才能确定。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

Gamban Excluded from Gambling Harms Funding by OHID iGame

Gamban Excluded from Gambling Harms Funding by OHID

March 31, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - The ongoing dispute concerning the implementation of the new statutory levy for gambling harms has intensified, following confirmation from Gamban that it will not receive funding. Gamban, formerly supported by GambleAware, expressed disapproval of OHID's choice to exclude it from the new funding mechanism because of its status as a limited company. Gamban is widely acknowledged as the most effective software for blocking access to gambling platforms and content on all devices. When the shift to the new levy system was confirmed last year, GambleAware declared its intention to stop operating, highlighting the profound nature of this change, given that GambleAware had previously overseen gambling harm treatment programs. Gamban announced that OHID's decision means it can no longer offer its service for free; it will now cost £4.99 monthly or £29.99 annually. Before this, Gamban was available at no cost following a referral from TalkBanStop or certain other referral pathways. The organization criticized OHID's process, asserting that its status as a limited company “was not a justifiable reason to exclude the most effective gambling blocking software from the commissioning process,” and disclosed that it has had to take measures to uphold the service quality its users depend on. Matt Zarb-Cousin, co-founder of Gamban, who had previously advocated for the new levy system expecting it to boost funding for high-quality services, characterized the criteria OHID adopted as ‘perplexing’ and expressed doubts about whether the new system would lead to service improvements. ‘An inevitable outcome’ Mark Conway of Consultancy for Gambling Harms echoed the criticism of the OHID process, calling it a ‘sad inevitable outcome’ stemming from the commissioning approach used for dividing VCSE and LA/NHS Levy funding. He further noted his belief that Gamban's commercial nature would have presented challenges for commissioners even under the previous RET system, and he lamented the insufficient adaptations made during the process, considering Gamban's significance to the industry. Conway, commenting on LinkedIn, attributed the core problem to inadequate preparation or a thorough grasp of the prior gambling harms sector during the shift to Levy funding. Conway characterized it as ‘a rushed transition lacking a genuine continuity plan – merely competitive bidding divided across different service provision categories.’ The Gambling Lived Experience Network (GLEN) also condemned the restrictive nature of the approach and the ‘mismanagement of the levy process,’ labeling it ‘a stark illustration of the consequences when established system experts and stakeholders are left out of strategic planning and decision-making.’ GLEN explained that Gamban finds itself in a predicament similar to when over 10,000 users of the GambleAware App abruptly lost support because OHID opted not to continue backing that particular tool. GLEN further stated: “Our current predicament stems from inadequate planning… and ill-timed circumstances where the most crucial transformation in addressing Gambling Harms in this nation was unexpectedly assigned to State bodies that neither requested, desired, nor possessed the necessary expertise or capability to manage them.” OHID's lack of collaborative effort also drew criticism from other segments of the industry. Jordan Lea, founder of Deal Me Out, disclosed that his group withdrew from the OHID process early on, and he denounced the new process, voicing concerns about the rapid move towards a more assertive and uncompromising public health approach. During his address at the Illegal Gambling Prevention Summit earlier this month, he expressed regret that his initial apprehensions regarding the new process were materializing, leading to substantial job losses and the closure of numerous vital charities. This encompassed GambleAware's exit, which Lea believed was a primary objective for many advocates at the start of the process, driven by a desire to eliminate entities with any past industry funding. Escalating concerns Organizations, including GambleAware, have consistently cautioned that the new funding structure could jeopardize the standard of care for users as treatment becomes fragmented across the UK – a situation highlighted by Gamban's free availability in Wales versus its status in England and Scotland. GambleAware's legacy report, published prior to its cessation of operations today (March 31), declared: “As the system undergoes transition, worries are mounting regarding the potential loss of institutional expertise and advancements within the sector. Concurrently, there is apprehension that disparities in local capabilities might lead to variations in service quality across different areas. Without intentional intervention, these hazards could undermine progress achieved in prevention, early intervention, and fairness of response.” Acknowledging the growing difficulties associated with the new levy's implementation, the UK Government last week introduced the Gambling Levy Transition Fund (GLTF), offering an additional three months of funding to organizations that did not secure initial funding. The Department for Culture, Media and Sport recognized the 'transformative change' ushered in by the funding shift and stated that the GLTF was established to 'guarantee the uninterrupted provision of gambling harm prevention and treatment services in England.'

梦想能让您更深睡？ Latest News

梦想能让您更深睡？

March 31, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - 在入睡和醒来之间的过渡地带，大脑会经历无数种状态。通过脑电图（EEG，即大脑电活动的读数），科学家和医生可以区分每个阶段。但目前尚不完全清楚每个阶段的作用是什么。睡眠能缓解疲劳，让大脑处理白天发生的事情，并且似乎有助于记忆和学习。但哪个阶段负责哪些功能呢？回答这个问题或许能揭示如何获得更高质量的睡眠。为了深入了解，科学家们进行了“连续唤醒”实验，这是一种实验室实验，他们在夜间反复唤醒睡眠者，并让他们填写问卷。（如果这听起来像你的个人噩梦，那就感谢所有为科学做这件事的人吧。）发表在《PLOS Biology》期刊上的一项新研究聚焦于非快速眼动睡眠第二阶段（简称NREM2）期间的唤醒情况，该阶段通常占我们睡眠时间的一半左右。研究人员发现了一个有趣的现象：当人们从沉浸式梦境中被唤醒时——其脑电图看起来与清醒状态非常相似——他们仍然报告说感觉睡得很沉。研究人员推测，这表明该睡眠阶段的生动梦境可能有助于产生深度睡眠的感觉。做梦的目的是什么？做梦是一种如此普遍的体验，以至于科学家们至今仍不明白我们为什么会做梦，这似乎有些令人惊讶。研究梦境的一种方法是尝试通过向睡眠者播放特定声音或唤醒他们后让他们再次入睡来改变梦境，并观察这些变化是否会影响他们之后的感受。“我们试图调节大脑活动，并尝试影响受试者在睡眠深度和睡眠期间体验方面的主观感受，”意大利IMT高级研究学院卢卡分校（IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca）的教授、该新论文的作者Giulio Bernardi博士说。在这项新研究中，他和同事们研究了NREM2睡眠，该阶段包含多种状态，包括沉浸式梦境、简单梦境和完全无梦。研究团队唤醒了44名处于NREM2阶段的睡眠者，让他们报告自己的想法，包括是否做过梦。有时他们做过梦，但不记得梦的内容——这被称为“空白梦”。如果他们记得梦境，则被要求对梦境的生动性和沉浸感等特征进行评分，同时也被要求对自己的睡眠深度进行评分。最深的主观睡眠主要发生在脑电图显示人们处于深度无意识状态且代表意识的电活动模式消失时。但当人们报告有沉浸式梦境时，尽管他们的脑电图模式看起来更接近清醒状态，他们也会感觉自己睡得很沉。“大脑可以变得更活跃、更清醒，但如果我们在做梦，仍然会感觉自己睡得很深，”Bernardi说。这意味着什么仍然是个谜做梦能区分不安稳的睡眠和令人满意的睡眠吗？这项研究并未设计来回答这个问题，因为它没有涉及早晨的休息状态。考虑到人们被唤醒的频率，可能很难区分梦境和多次唤醒对睡眠者感受的影响。但该研究确实表明，梦境与睡眠深度之间的联系这一问题值得进一步研究。Karen Konkoly在英国剑桥大学（University of Cambridge）研究梦境，并未参与这项工作，她自己也参加过类似的研究。“观察自己在夜间不同时间的思维，意识到我实际上经常感觉自己没有完全睡着，这很有趣，”她在电子邮件中写道。“所以对我来说，判断自己是否真的睡得很深的最好方法是当我从沉浸式梦境中被唤醒时。我知道自己睡着了，因为我在做梦。这是我对这一发现的最佳直觉解释：很难判断一个人睡得有多深，而沉浸式梦境是回答这个问题的一种明确方式。”Bernardi认为这背后可能还有更多原因。“虽然做梦确实表明处于睡眠状态，但它本身并不一定意味着‘深度’睡眠，”他在电子邮件中写道。“我在我们的研究中发现特别有意义的是，参与者有时即使无法回忆起任何具体的梦境内容，也会报告自己睡得很深；他们只有一种处于丰富或沉浸式状态的总体印象。”他推测，这种深度感可能来自与外部世界脱节的感觉。这可能来自完全无意识的状态，或者来自一个如此沉浸式的梦境，以至于外部现实无法渗透进来。这项研究提醒我们，睡眠不仅仅是简单的无意识状态。感知的力量很强大：例如，许多报告失眠的人实际上在夜间大部分时间都在睡觉。这些情况下的问题似乎在于他们对睡眠状态的感知出现了偏差。不过，有时梦境会感觉过于真实。经历“史诗级梦境”现象的人报告说整夜都在做梦，经常在令人麻木的细节中重复执行任务。“最终，当他们早上醒来时，会超级疲惫，就像工作了一整晚一样，”Bernardi说。“所以梦境的沉浸感可能需要保持在适当的范围内，否则它们会对我们的睡眠产生负面影响。”本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

(SeaPRwire) - AI不会取代你的工作，但使用AI的人很可能会。也许不是今天或明天。也许不是今年甚至明年。但最终会的。如果你等到最终，那就太迟了。对一些人来说，这种转变已经发生。LinkedIn最近的一份报告发现，近90%的C级领导者表示，加速AI的采用至关重要。不是有朝一日，而是现在。我们与Microsoft共同发现，一种新的招聘标准正在形成，三分之二的企业领导者表示，他们甚至不会考虑没有AI技能的候选人。这仅仅是个开始。询问那些真正了解AI的领导者未来的几年，他们谈论的不是调整或升级。他们谈论的是彻底重塑工作。这种思维不仅在科技圈内如此。早在2023年，LinkedIn上三分之一的内容创作者已将AI素养技能添加到他们的个人资料中，显著超过了软件工程师的19%。平面设计师（27%）和营销经理（24%）也表现出对培养AI素养的类似热情。到2025年初，AI素养已成为全球LinkedIn会员最常添加到个人资料中的技能之一。现在，一位房地产经纪人正在使用AI来帮助撰写房产描述和管理日程，从而腾出更多时间带领潜在买家参观房屋，并帮助他们设想在那里组建家庭。一位零售经理正在使用AI来帮助解读购买模式并预测季节性变化，从而创造空间与供应商和客户建立更深层次的关系。一位小企业主正在使用AI来帮助处理簿记和社交媒体，这让他们有时间开发新产品并亲自服务他们最重要的客户。现在，各个领域的员工都在使用AI。在这样做的过程中，他们正在学习AI可以完成他们工作中哪些部分，以及这对他们的未来意味着什么。数据令人震惊：LinkedIn的研究人员发现，从2015年到2022年，全球平均工作所需技能的24%发生了变化。展望2030年并考虑AI的影响，我们估计这一比例将跃升至高达70%。这一切对你意味着什么？这意味着即使你不换工作，你的工作也在发生变化。就在此刻，当你阅读这些文字时，和你做着类似工作的人们正在尝试使用AI。他们没有等待许可。他们没有等待别人先行。他们乐于在问题变化时解决问题。乐于学习、测试、构建并每天变得更好。他们或许理解此刻最重要的几件事。第一，工作中的变化将永远不会像现在这样缓慢。第二，AI作为工具将永远不会像现在这样基础。第三，你每等待一天，那些尝试AI的人和那些犹豫不决的人之间的差距就会扩大。这种差距不断扩大的原因在于AI的独特之处：这项技术在更好地理解你的同时，你也在更好地理解它。每一次互动都是一次双向升级。这就像骑一辆自行车，你骑得越多，它就越了解你。踏板开始与你的节奏匹配。座椅调整以更好地支撑你。车把找到最适合你伸展的完美位置。每一次改进都消除了阻力和困难。每一英里都让下一英里变得更容易，直到你在一辆感觉像是你自身延伸的自行车上滑行。这是个人体验。放大来看，你会看到更大的事情正在发生。关键在于，那些取得进步的员工不一定是最有资源或技术最强的。他们是在不得不做之前就进行尝试的人。不是疯狂地，而是有目的地。他们在不得不适应之前就练习适应。他们知道，学习如何学习比你目前所知更重要。他们可以利用AI来放大其独特的人类能力。他们没有固守不再适合自己的职业或框架。他们选择了好奇心而非舒适。他们优先考虑新工作的可能性，而不是“一直以来都是这样”的思维模式。这引出了一个关键点：旧的工作方式并非旨在释放人类潜力。它们是为了工业效率而设计的。为了速度。为了规模。为了可预测性。为了我们人类做得更多、更好、更快。那个旧世界正在瓦解。而这实际上就是机遇。几个世纪以来，我们第一次可以围绕最能体现我们人性的东西来构建工作：我们的创造能力、解决新颖问题的能力以及有意义地连接的能力。AI处理效率工作。这使我们能够做算法无法做到的事情：创造前所未有的解决方案。然而，我们中的许多人仍然固守着旧规则。底线是，变化的步伐是指数级的，而非线性的。变化将永远不会再像现在这样缓慢。AI将永远不会再像现在这样基础。现在就是尝试的时候。你的抵抗是生物本能，而非弱点。当你想到AI时胃里打结的感觉？那是数百万年的进化试图保护你免受快速变化的影响。但那些曾经让你安全的本能现在可能会让你停滞不前。我们的建议：不要对抗未来；而是去构建它。技术不仅仅是取代旧工作；它还改变了工作的可能性。那些抵制变化的人只看到可能失去的东西。那些适应变化的人则能看到可以获得的东西。摘自 OPEN TO WORK (Copyright © 2026 by LinkedIn Corporation)，经 Harper Business 许可，HarperCollins Publishers 出版。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

A Closer Look at Fosun International 2025 Annual Results: ‘One-Off Risk Clearance’ Paves Way for ‘RMB10 Billion Profit’

March 31, 2026
HONG KONG, Mar 31, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - On the evening of 30 March, Fosun International announced its 2025 annual results. During the Reporting Period, the Group’s total revenue reached RMB173.43 billion, and adjusted industrial operation profit was RMB4 billion.Compared to prior years, Fosun’s results have remained solid. However, pursuant to the principle of prudence, Fosun made one-off non-cash impairment provisions and value revaluations on certain real estate projects with impairment indicators and goodwill and intangible assets of certain non-core business segments, resulting in a book loss of RMB23.4 billion in 2025, of which real estate-related impairment accounted for approximately 55%, while impairment of non-core assets accounted for approximately 45%.Fosun emphasized in the announcement that these provisions do not affect the Company’s overall operations and cash flow. However, Guo Guangchang, Chairman of Fosun International, offered a sincere apology in this year’s Letter to Shareholders, stating that “A loss is never desirable.” He further explained that, “Under the current market conditions, some of the projects we invested in years ago are now valued differently from what we expected at the time of investment. Accordingly, the Board has taken a prudent decision to complete this asset impairment, allowing Fosun to focus its resources and efforts more effectively on core, high-growth areas. At a time when the global economy is generating opportunities amid volatility and China’s innovation-driven industries are gaining growth momentum, deepening our strategic focus now allows us to optimize our asset structure and helps us secure a stronger position in key sectors, positioning Fosun as a leaner, healthier, and more sustainable company.”In recent years, Fosun has steadily advance its strategy of “streamlining operations and strengthening the business, focusing on core businesses”, generating approximately RMB75 billion in cash returns from asset and business divestments. This round of impairments marks Fosun’s decisive step to clear accumulated risks on a one-off basis and shed “historical burdens”. While the book loss appears significant, from the capital market’s perspective, Fosun’s share price has rebounded more than 10% since the announcement of its results preview on 6 March, indicating the market has recognized and accepted its “risk clearance”.In his Letter to Shareholders, Guo Guangchang described this asset impairment as “repairing the roof on a sunny day”. Fosun International’s results announcement offers a clear illustration. Fosun’s core businesses has continued to deliver steady profits, reflecting solid operating fundamentals. At the same time, its long-established innovation and globalization strategies have become the core growth drivers for the Company. Collectively, these achievements underpin Fosun’s confidence in proceeding with “risk clearance” at this stage.Business fundamentals remain solid, pharmaceuticals and insurance segments deliver strong resultsLet’s start with Fosun’s business fundamentals. In 2025, Fosun International’s four core subsidiaries generated RMB128.2 billion in revenue, accounting for 74% of the Group’s total revenue. This demonstrates the results of Fosun’s strategic adjustment of “focusing on core businesses”, effectively addressing prior market concerns over “diversification”.Among them, Fosun Pharma, a core subsidiary of Fosun, achieved a net profit attributable to shareholders of the parent of RMB3.371 billion in 2025, representing a year-on-year increase of 21.69%. Fosun Pharma’s biopharmaceutical innovation platform, Henlius, recorded revenue of RMB6.667 billion and net profit of RMB827 million, delivering growth in both revenue and net profit for the third consecutive year.Next, let’s take a look at Fosun’s most important overseas subsidiary, Fosun Insurance Portugal. In 2025, Fosun Insurance Portugal achieved strong growth in revenue and net profit. Its net profit attributable to owners of the parent amounted to EUR201 million, up 15.8% year-on-year, establishing it as a stable contributor to Fosun’s profitability. Fosun Insurance Portugal has benefited significantly from Fosun’s global ecosystem, expanding its presence from Portugal to overseas markets such as Europe, Latin America and Africa. In 2025, Fosun Insurance Portugal received its inaugural A rating from S&P Global, reflecting international recognition of its asset quality and risk resilience.In Chinese mainland, Fosun’s two insurance companies have also performed well. Pramerica Fosun Life Insurance’s premium income for the year reached RMB13.28 billion, up 41.6% year-on-year, while net profit surged over 492% to RMB650 million. Meanwhile, Fosun United Health Insurance recorded insurance income of RMB7.84 billion in 2025, representing a year-on-year increase of 50.1%, with net profit reaching RMB139 million, marking five consecutive years of profitability.Core drivers: innovation and globalization strategiesFosun Pharma and Fosun Insurance Portugal embody Fosun’s two core strategies: innovation and globalization.Since its establishment, Fosun has always regarded “innovation-driven research and development (R&D)” as its core strategy, and began its global expansion following its listing in Hong Kong. After years of intensive investment and exploration, innovation and globalization strategies have become the core driving forces behind Fosun’s development, consistently delivering results that generate “compounding returns” over time.The biggest change for Fosun Pharma in 2025 was strong growth in its innovative drug breakthroughs. During the Reporting Period, Fosun Pharma’s revenue from innovative drugs reached RMB9.893 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 29.59%, accounting for 33.16% of its pharmaceutical business revenue. Fosun Pharma had 16 indications of its 7 innovative drugs approved for marketing in China and overseas markets, while marketing applications for 6 innovative drug candidates were accepted.During the Reporting Period, nearly 40 of Fosun’s innovative drug clinical trials were approved by regulatory authorities in China, the United States and Europe, while multiple core products entered key clinical phases, laying a solid pipeline foundation for subsequent commercial growth.Henlius’ HLX43 remains the main focus of market interest. As a PD-L1-targeted antibody drug conjugate (ADC) with potential best-in-class characteristics and broad anti-tumor activity across multiple tumor types, HLX43 has shown significant advantages, with a favorable efficacy and safety profile in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), gynecological tumors, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), and other indications. On 27 January 2025, it was approved for clinical trials in Chinese mainland, positioning it to become another landmark product for Fosun.This year, Fosun’s international business development (BD) efforts for innovative drugs made a notable impression on the market. For example, at the beginning of 2026, Fosun Pharma entered into an agreement with Eisai Co., Ltd. in relation to HANSIZHUANG, with a potential total value of over USD300 million. At the end of 2025, Fosun Pharma’s subsidiary, Yao Pharma, signed a global exclusive licensing agreement with Pfizer, with a potential total value of over USD2 billion; Fosun Pharma Industrial entered into a strategic collaboration with biotechnology company Clavis Bio, with Fosun Pharma eligible to receive up to USD7.25 billion in payments.In terms of globalization, Fosun has established a profound business presence in more than 40 countries and regions worldwide. Today, it has achieved comprehensive globalization across products, services, and brands. In 2025, Fosun’s overseas revenue reached RMB94.86 billion, accounting for 54.7% of total revenue, representing a year-on-year increase of 5.4 percentage points. Fosun’s globalization strategy has evolved from “acquiring globally” to “earning globally”.Club Med, a subsidiary of Fosun Tourism Group, operates 67 resorts worldwide. During the Reporting Period, Club Med once again achieved record-high performance, with revenue reaching RMB18.07 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 3.6%, while operating profit reached RMB1.44 billion, up 4.6% from 2024.Hainan Mining, a subsidiary of Fosun, has now developed into a global resource + new energy company and has made remarkable strides in its global expansion. Hainan Mining’s model of “overseas resources + processing in Hainan” entered a substantive operational stage in 2025. Its Bougouni Lithium Mine in Mali produced 45,000 tons of lithium concentrate, with the first shipment of 30,000 tons arriving at Yangpu Port in Hainan in January 2026. Additionally, through its subsidiary Roc Oil and the newly acquired oilfield project in Oman, Hainan Mining has accelerated the building of a “minerals + energy” network spanning West Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.International rating agencies affirm Fosun International’s rating outlook as “stable”Fosun’s financial position remains the market’s primary focus.According to Fosun International’s results announcement, during the Reporting Period, cash, bank balances and term deposits amounted to RMB61.1 billion; unutilized banking facilities amounted to RMB144.6 billion; total debt to total capital ratio was 57%. Fosun has maintained a healthy financial position, with ample cash reserves. International rating agencies have broadly affirmed Fosun International’s rating outlook as “stable”.Guo Guangchang stated in his Letter to Shareholders that, at present, Fosun’s core businesses remain solid, liquidity position is robust, and banking relationships remain stable. The Company’s major shareholder and management team have announced plans to increase their holdings in the shares of the Company and the Company will also proceed with a share buyback program. With Fosun’s core businesses continuing to grow and strategic plans firmly on track, “We are confident in our ability to support a return of the share price to fair value and better protect the long-term interests of our shareholders.”In addition to its results announcement, Fosun announced that it is committed to increasing its dividend payout ratio, targeting an increase from the current 20% to 35% for the 2026 financial year. Based on the accumulated distributable profit of the Company, the dividend for the 2026 financial year is expected to be not less than HKD1.5 billion.We can reasonably expect that this round of “strategic streamlining” will inject greater certainty into Fosun’s future business growth.In this year’s Letter to Shareholders, Guo Guangchang also disclosed Fosun’s medium-term financial goals: “We strive to gradually restore annual profit to the RMB10 billion level; at the group level, we aim to generate RMB60 billion in cash returns, reduce total debt to below RMB60 billion, and strive to achieve an investment-grade rating.” He stated that, “Fosun has always stayed true to its original aspiration: to do the right things, the difficult things and the things that take time to develop. For Fosun’s future, we do not seek short-term gains; we seek to build a foundation for lasting success.” Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com. All rights reserved. www.acnnewswire.com

油价涨幅上限何在？解析伊朗战争对油价的持续影响 Latest News

油价涨幅上限何在？解析伊朗战争对油价的持续影响

March 31, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - 唐纳德·特朗普与伊朗的战争让美国民众的钱包付出了高昂代价，而在3月的最后几天，这场冲突突破了一个新的临界点。根据价格追踪服务GasBuddy和美国汽车协会（American Automobile Association）的数据，自2022年俄罗斯入侵乌克兰以来，全国汽油零售均价首次突破每加仑4美元。这标志着自2月28日战争爆发前的上月价格以来，涨幅已超过1美元。汽油价格为何突破每加仑4美元价格飙升是由与冲突相关的全球油价上涨推动的，冲突威胁到供应，并引发了对包括霍尔木兹海峡在内的关键运输路线中断的担忧。GasBuddy的石油分析主管Patrick De Haan警告称，全国均价突破每加仑4美元打破了一道“心理壁垒”。全球资产管理公司WisdomTree的高级经济学家Jeremy Siegel在本月早些时候的一份报告中写道，与原油价格的类似飙升相比，汽油是“消费者在经济中最容易看到的价格，当价格上涨时，会立即影响心理。”特朗普政府试图在今年中期选举前以可负担性为竞选主题，但这场战争只会加剧本已陷入困境的美国经济。冲突不仅威胁到全球能源资源；还扰乱了食品供应和生产、旅行以及运输成本，所有这些都将美国进一步推向可能的衰退。而且，尽管谈判仍在进行，但没有迹象表明冲突会很快缓解，这意味着汽油价格可能还会进一步上涨，尤其是如果全球约五分之一石油供应通过的霍尔木兹海峡持续中断的话。“局势仍然高度动荡且不可预测，”De Haan在3月30日的博客文章中表示。伊朗战争爆发以来汽油价格上涨了多少GasBuddy的最新数据显示，每加仑汽油价格较上月2.97美元的均价上涨了1.04美元。AAA记录的涨幅与一个月前相似：2月26日为2.98美元，3月26日为3.98美元，3月31日为4.02美元。春季假期的季节性旅行需求也推高了汽油价格。西海岸部分地区，尤其是加利福尼亚州，汽油价格甚至更高。GasBuddy记录的3月31日均价为每加仑5.87美元。该州对特殊混合汽油的强制要求、石油基础设施连接不足以及高额汽油税导致了燃料成本的上升。据路透社（Reuters）报道，能源经济学家Philip Verleger在一份报告中写道，美国西海岸“将成为对伊朗袭击后果的典型代表”。柴油价格为何飙升及其对消费者的影响根据AAA的数据，柴油（运输、航运、建筑和农业等许多关键行业的主要燃料）价格在周二达到每加仑5.45美元，自战争开始以来上涨了45%。柴油成本的上涨可能会对供应链产生涓滴效应：审计、税务和咨询公司RSM US的首席经济学家Joe Brusuelas向彭博社（Bloomberg）估计，柴油价格上涨10%可能会推动整体消费者价格指数上升0.1%。根据美国能源信息管理局（U.S. Energy Information Administration）的数据，尽管美国是主要石油生产国，但汽油价格仍与全球原油市场挂钩，柴油成本在很大程度上受这些全球基准的影响。柴油精炼成本、分销和税收也会推高其价格。政府已试图减轻战争对加油站价格的影响。3月初，特朗普下令能源部从战略石油储备中释放1.72亿桶石油，这需要大约120天才能交付。特朗普还豁免了《琼斯法案》（Jones Act）60天，允许外国旗船只在美国港口之间运输货物，这可能会降低运输成本；他还允许销售高乙醇汽油混合物（由于对雾霾的担忧，通常夏季禁止销售），以试图降低汽油价格。汽油价格未来可能涨到多高分析师预测，加油站价格只会上涨。Price Futures Group的高级市场分析师Phil Flynn告诉福克斯商业网（Fox Business）：“很可能还会有更多上涨，因为原油价格和消费者在加油站支付的价格之间通常存在滞后。”瑞穗证券（Mizuho Securities）的大宗商品专家Robert Yawger本月早些时候告诉《华尔街日报》（Wall Street Journal），原油价格每桶上涨10美元，汽油价格可能每加仑上涨10-15美分；而彭博新能源财经（BloombergNEF）估计，在紧张局势升级的情况下，原油价格每桶上涨10美元，汽油价格可能上涨30-40美分。GasBuddy的De Haan在3月30日的博客中表示，如果局势继续保持现状，美国全国汽油均价可能“突破每加仑4美元大关”。另一方面，柴油价格可能达到每加仑6美元，De Haan说，如果情况没有改善，甚至可能“创下新纪录”。澳大利亚公司Macquarie Group的策略师警告称，如果战争延续到夏季，油价可能达到每桶200美元，这可能会将加油站价格推高至每加仑7美元。据报道，这些分析师认为这种结果的概率为40%，而另一种可能性为60%的情景是，伊朗冲突本月结束，油价随后下跌，但仍将高于战前水平。“价格上涨像火箭，下跌像羽毛，”南加州大学（University of Southern California）供应链专家兼教授Michael Mische告诉福克斯商业网。分析师在接受路透社采访时还表示，如果伊朗关键石油枢纽哈格岛（Kharg Island）在冲突中受损，布伦特原油价格可能达到每桶120美元，一些分析师预测甚至高达200美元。在2026年3月的短期展望中，能源信息管理局（Energy Information Administration）预测，布伦特原油价格将在未来两个月保持在每桶95美元以上，然后在2026年第三季度跌至80美元以下，并在年底达到每桶70美元左右。能源信息管理局（EIA）在报告中还表示，其对2026年零售汽油价格的年平均预测为每加仑3.34美元，原油价格可能会推动零售汽油价格在3月上涨约60美分/加仑，在2026年第二季度上涨约70美分/加仑，之后预计到年底将回落至接近每加仑3美元。但这些预测基于几个假设，包括关闭的石油生产将在4月初达到峰值，霍尔木兹海峡的运输将改善。这仍有待观察。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

NICC Prolongs Licence Suspension of The Star Sydney iGame

NICC Prolongs Licence Suspension of The Star Sydney

March 31, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - The New South Wales Independent Casino Commission (NICC) has once more extended the license suspension for The Star Entertainment Group’s Sydney-based casino. On March 12, the NICC received a pathway-to-suitability submission from The Star Sydney, where the operator restated its January communication indicating it would not pursue a license determination during this month. The Star Sydney has been under suspension for more than three years, as the operator was deemed no longer fit to hold a casino license following two NICC-ordered reviews by Adam Bell SC (in October 2022 and August 2024) that uncovered multiple regulatory breaches. In deciding on the initial suspension, the NICC considered the potential for the casino to meet the commission’s requirements through proper corrective measures, so it did not revoke the property’s license entirely. Nicolas Weeks was named manager of The Star Sydney to enable gaming activities to keep running at the venue. This latest extension ensures the casino’s license suspension stays in effect, and Weeks’ role has been prolonged until September 30, 2026—unless the appointment is ended before that time. In a regulatory update to its investors, The Star mentioned that the suspension extension pertains to ‘the current term of the appointments of the Special Manager to The Star Gold Coast and the External Advisor for The Star Brisbane’. NICC Chief Commissioner Philip Crawford has commended The Star’s new leadership team, saying: “The new owners are implementing major changes to the way the business operates, and these are being closely monitored by the NICC. “This includes efforts to enhance the business’s long-term financial sustainability, which will help them prove their suitability. We will keep collaborating with The Star on their key remediation tasks so the casino can address the critical issues highlighted in the two Bell investigations.” WhiteHawk swoops in Earlier this week, The Star advanced its debt refinancing process with WhiteHawk Capital Partners by submitting its commitment letter on schedule, progressing toward refinancing its current debt “in full and securing incremental liquidity to maintain enough cash flow for day-to-day operations”. To prevent default, The Star must finalize the refinancing by May 15, 2026. However, the operator has had a tentative agreement with WhiteHawk since February and has been evaluating its resource structure and strategic direction. This agreement comes after The Star released its H1 FY26 results earlier this month, where it expressed positivity despite a turbulent end to 2025—ending with normalized net revenue of A$585 million (compared to A$650 million in H1 FY25) and a substantial net loss of over A$75 million.This was also the first reporting period under the new management team, which followed the completion of a A$300 million strategic investment by Bally’s Corporation and Investment Holdings late last year.

Datavault AI and Coppercore Inc. Announce Tokenization of High-Grade Copper Resources into Coppercoin(TM)

March 31, 2026
PHILADELPHIA, PA, Mar 31, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Datavault AI Inc. ("Datavault AI" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:DVLT), a leader in data monetization, credentialing, digital engagement, and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization technologies, and Coppercore Inc. ("Coppercore") today announced the closing of a definitive agreement to digitize and tokenize significant copper resources.The transaction enables Datavault AI to deploy its patented IDE®, DataScore®, and DataValue® blockchain tokenization platform to create Coppercoin™ digital tokens representing pro-rata ownership interests in the underlying in-ground resources. The initial program targets the minting of $100 million or more in Digital Copper Tokens.Coppercoin™ tokens are structured such that each token corresponds to five pounds of underlying high-grade copper resources, with pricing directly linked to the COMEX copper benchmark on a per-pound basis.This mechanism provides fractional, transparent, and liquid digital ownership while aligning investors' returns with physical copper market dynamics and future production upside. The initial $100 million program is scheduled for launch by the end of the second calendar quarter of this year, making tokenized copper accessible to global investors around the clock.Coppercoin™ introduces a new digital asset class that delivers market efficiencies and opportunities, including upgrade of processes and the future production of copper industrial products such as Cu concentrate, Cu cement, and Cu refined copper ("Cathodes").Copper is the foundational metal powering the global energy transition, AI infrastructure, electrification, renewable energy systems, and decarbonization.

Traditional copper markets (primarily trade on the London Metal Exchange (LME) and Commodities Exchange Inc. (COMEX) remain complex and less accessible for many investors worldwide. Coppercoin™ changes this by offering transparent, fractional, and liquid digital ownership - tradeable 24/7 - providing global investors an easy, compliant way to participate in the copper market opportunity.Nathaniel T. Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI, stated: "Today's agreement with Coppercore represents a major milestone in our global RWA tokenization strategy. By tokenizing copper resources, we are delivering institutional-grade, verifiable, and liquid digital ownership to investors while directly supporting the critical minerals supply chain that powers AI, electrification, and the energy transition. This partnership validates our patented platform as the benchmark infrastructure for compliant tokenization of strategic natural resources."Antonio Treminio, CEO of Coppercore Inc., added: "Partnering with Datavault AI allows Coppercore, as an exploration, development, and production-oriented copper mining company, to accelerate value creation from our high-grade copper and silver assets through a modern blockchain structure. Coppercoin™ provides a compliant, 24/7 digital pathway for investors worldwide to own and trade copper exposure, capturing production upside as we advance toward commercial output."The tokenized assets will leverage Datavault AI's proprietary smart-contract technology for verifiable ownership, AI-driven valuation, and future revenue participation rights tied to commercial copper production. This transaction further solidifies Datavault AI's leadership in tokenizing strategic natural resources and establishes Coppercoin™ as the benchmark for compliant, liquid digital mineral assets.About Datavault AI Inc.Datavault AI™ (NASDAQ:DVLT) is a pioneer in AI-driven data experiences, valuation, and monetization of assets in the Web 3.0 environment.

Honda Announces the Establishment of PathAhead Co., Ltd., a Startup Originated from IGNITION, a Honda New Business Creation Program JCN Newswire

Honda Announces the Establishment of PathAhead Co., Ltd., a Startup Originated from IGNITION, a Honda New Business Creation Program

March 31, 2026
TOKYO, Japan, Mar 31, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (Honda) today announced the establishment of PathAhead Co., Ltd. (PathAhead), a startup business venture originated from IGNITION, Honda’s new business creation program.PathAhead has developed Rising Sand, the world’s first artificial aggregate made from desert sand. Going forward, the company will work to establish mass-production technology and conduct demonstration testing to verify its workability and durability in asphalt road construction. After these steps, the company aims to begin mass production of Rising Sand at its own production plant, scheduled to be built in Republic of Kenya in 2028, and establish a system and capability to ensure stable supply to construction companies in Africa.Rising Sand, artificial aggregate developed by PathAheadOfficial website of PathAhead: URL:https://pathahead.jp/ (Japanese)https://pathahead.jp/en (English)In recent years, African countries have seen a rapid expansion of their economies in line with rapid population growth. At the same time, insufficient construction and maintenance of infrastructure such as roads has been a major constraint on economic growth. Currently, the percentage of paved roads in the African region remains low, at approximately 20%*2, and the deterioration of existing paved roads is progressing, which is resulting in higher logistics costs and economic losses.Furthermore, aggregates used for road paving are made of relatively inexpensive natural resources such as sand and crushed stone, which tend to have variability in strength depending on where they were mined and the geological layers, making it difficult to secure consistent level of quality required for paving materials.PathAhead recognized the potential of desert sand as a locally available resource and developed an artificial aggregate, Rising Sand, that achieves both high cost efficiency and durability. Rising Sand is produced using PathAhead’s original technology to granulate fine, non-uniform desert sand grains into more uniform, high-hardness artificial aggregate, which is suitable for a wide range of applications, including road paving, concrete, and materials for the base course/sub-base of roads.As the first step toward commercialization, PathAhead will conduct demonstration testing of Rising Sand for road paving applications over a period of approximately three years, first in Kenya starting in 2027, then in Tanzania, followed by South Africa. The company will verify workability, durability, and the consistency of quality while considering local climate and traffic conditions in each country, aiming to establish specifications that satisfy the requirements for road pavement materials for mass production.Based on the results of the demonstration testing, PathAhead will start mass-production of Rising Sand at a production plant scheduled to be constructed in Kenya in 2028, then in Tanzania, followed by South Africa, with the goal of building a stable supply system through local sourcing and local production.Key features of the Rising SandRising Sand is an artificial aggregate produced by granulating the round grains of fine desert sand with a diameter of approximately 100 micrometers (μm)*3 into larger granulated sand clusters with a diameter of several ten millimeters (mm), using PathAhead’s original, patent-pending granulation technology. This technology reduces variations in the size and shape of sand clusters, thereby increasing its strength as aggregate.While roads constructed with conventional natural aggregates typically have a service life of about 10 years, roads constructed with the Rising Sand are expected to achieve a service life of more than 20 years*4, which will reduce the frequency of road repairs and is estimated to reduced lifecycle cost by approximately 60%*4 compared to that of conventional roads using natural aggregates. Furthermore, by using locally available resources such as desert sand and additives, PathAhead will strive to offer Rising Sand at a price comparable to that of natural aggregates.As the depletion of natural resources, such as sand and crushed stone extracted from mountains and rivers, is becoming a serious global issue, Rising Sand can be used as a sustainable alternative that fulfills a wide range of construction needs, beyond applications for road pavements, including applications for concrete and materials for the base course/sub-base of roads.Image of granulating desert sand to produce Rising SandKey applications of Rising Sand*1 Granular materials used as a component in construction mixtures, such as pavement material.*2 PathAhead estimate based on “The World Factbook” published by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).*3 1μm = 1/1000 of a mm.*4 Based on research by PathAhead.Comments by Masayuki Iga, Representative Director & CEO of PathAhead Co., Ltd.“At Honda, I worked on research and development of automotive materials and fundamental research on mobility-related technologies, based on what our customers expect of our finished vehicles. I established PathAhead based on my desire to leverage technologies and insights I amassed through such experience to swiftly and directly address challenges facing our society. In Africa, the low durability of roads significantly constrains the mobility of people, logistics, and economic activities. Roads are more than mere infrastructure: they connect people, expand access to education, healthcare, and industry for more people, and form the foundation that supports the potential of the region. PathAhead is committed to more than just building roads: by providing highly durable materials, we take on a challenge to create sustainable road networks. With our end-to-end commitment — from fundamental research to locally rooted real-world implementation — we will leverage the power of our technology and enable people and society to unleash their limitless potential, starting from the ‘roads’ they use.” Comments by Keiji Otsu, President and Representative Director of Honda R&D Co., Ltd.“Each and every Honda associate pursues their dreams and continues to take on challenges with strong conviction in order to offer our customers around the world the ‘joy and freedom of mobility’ through our mobility products and services. It is encouraging to see that the technologies and ideas Mr. Iga developed through his experience in research on mobility-related materials have led to a new idea that contributes to the infrastructure and is beginning to take shape as a solution to a societal challenge. Through our IGNITION program, Honda will offer ongoing support for this PathAhead initiative, while also accelerating co-creation with other internal and external partners and continuing to create new value and strive to address more societal issues.”About the IGNITION new business creation programThe IGNITION is a new business creation program of Honda, designed to discover the original ideas, technologies and designs of Honda associates and apply them to contribute to solving societal issues and creating new value for customers and society. The program started in 2017 as an initiative to encourage Honda associates to create new business within Honda. In 2020, the program added an option for qualified associates to start their own business ventures to realize earlier possible real-world implementation of their technologies. Furthermore, in 2023, by expanding the eligibility for participation to individuals and businesses outside Honda, the IGNITION was further advanced into a program under which participants strive to achieve innovative value creation by combining the ideas of people outside the company with the technologies and expertise of Honda. Key Features of IGNITION system (for Honda associates)- All full-time Honda associates who work for Honda operations in Japan are eligible to submit proposals regardless of their length of employment and assigned division. - Proposals selected in the first-round evaluation will receive approximately six months of business development support. During this period, a taskforce team consisting of internal specialists will be formed to support each proposer.- Ideas that pass the second-round evaluation will be commercialized through a startup venture or within the company.- For startups, the possibility of investment from Honda will be considered in a meeting of the Corporate Venturing Council held after the second-round evaluation.- External investors provide advice to each proposer throughout the evaluation process.- In order to ensure independence of the startup, the ratio of capital contribution by Honda will be limited to no more than 20%.

(AsiaGameHub) - Swedish gambling industry stakeholders are being encouraged to adopt more evidence-based strategies to address problem gambling, as recent analysis underscores the intricate risk profiles that influence player habits. Collaboration between regulators, operators, and public health authorities is deemed essential to safeguard Sweden’s stable problem gambling statistics against both existing and emerging challenges. These insights stem from a report commissioned by BOS, the Swedish Online Gambling Trade Association, and authored by economist Ola Nevander of Makrologik. Spanning 25 years of data, Nevander’s study, titled “The Development of Problem Gambling in Sweden,” offers a long-term perspective on the evolution of gambling addiction while questioning common beliefs regarding how market growth, regulatory shifts, and increased accessibility influence these rates. Regarding prevalence, the study reveals that problem gambling in Sweden has decreased and leveled off over the last two decades, despite market liberalization and total gambling expenditure reaching approximately SEK 28bn (€2.8bn) by 2024. The percentage of problem gamblers has dropped from over 2% in the late 2000s to roughly 1.3% today—a statistically significant decline at the population level. Notably, the transition to a licensed online framework post-2018, which currently supports about 60 B2C operators, has been a key development. Despite these structural changes, Sweden has maintained a problem gambling rate of about 1.3%, keeping it below that of comparable Nordic nations, though international comparisons are often complicated by differing methodologies. Economist Nevander remarked on the findings: “The result is a consistent downward trend. This outcome may be unexpected, given the dynamic evolution of the gambling sector during this timeframe. Gambling marketing is more widespread than before, the variety of products is significantly larger, and games are accessible 24/7 via mobile devices. Nevertheless, gambling addiction is on the decline.” Crucially, the report disputes the idea that increased availability, advertising, and product innovation are the primary drivers of problem gambling. During the same period that digital access became nearly universal, product offerings grew substantially, and marketing reached record levels, yet the prevalence of problem gambling fell rather than rose. Instead, the research points to a more complex interplay of societal and behavioral risk factors. Problem gambling is more closely associated with individual vulnerabilities—such as mental health issues like depression and impulsivity, risky alcohol use, significant life stressors, and behaviors like chasing losses. These factors suggest that harm is concentrated within specific high-risk groups rather than spread evenly across the general population. The report further notes an ‘absolute decline’ in the number of Swedish problem gamblers, which has dropped by 57,000 since 2008, while the broader category of ‘at-risk’ players has decreased by 200,000 since 2018. Emphasis is instead placed on the structural importance of regulation. Sweden’s 2019 licensing system facilitates duty-of-care requirements, self-exclusion tools, and data-driven monitoring of player behavior within the regulated sector—mechanisms considered vital for early risk detection and intervention. However, these protections are only effective within the licensed sphere. Channeling players toward regulated operators remains vital, as migration to unlicensed or offshore platforms undermines oversight and eliminates access to support tools. Evidence indicates that a notable number of self-excluded individuals continue to gamble on unregulated sites, representing a significant vulnerability in the current system. BOS Secretary General Gustaf Hoffstedt stated that the findings highlight the potential for technology and regulation to further mitigate harm: “With the shift from traditional, anonymous kiosk gambling to today’s digital products, we haven't completely solved the issue of gambling addiction, but we appear to be on the right path.” “When utilized correctly and responsibly, online gambling and AI provide us with new tools to reduce problem gambling to levels likely lower than ever before. We are heading in the right direction, but there is still much to be done.” Ultimately, the report reinforces a core conclusion: problem gambling is not merely a byproduct of market size or accessibility, but the result of an interaction between individual vulnerability, behavioral patterns, and institutional frameworks. For Swedish stakeholders, the goal is not to impose total market restrictions, but to ensure that regulation promotes high channelization, effective oversight, and targeted interventions for those most at risk. In this light, Sweden serves as a case study in regulatory balance—where market liberalization has occurred alongside stable or decreasing harm—though maintaining this equilibrium will require ongoing cooperation as new risks arise.

Illicit UK assets linked to a Chinese fugitive facing international scrutiny iGame

Illicit UK assets linked to a Chinese fugitive facing international scrutiny

March 31, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - The UK Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has utilized Unexplained Wealth Orders and Interim Freezing Orders to freeze the assets of a wanted Chinese national, who allegedly has connections to an illegal gambling network operating across China. Previously identified only as Mr X, the fugitive at the center of the asset freeze has been revealed by the OCRP and The Times as Su Jiangbo, a Chinese national facing significant allegations regarding his involvement with illegal casinos. While UK authorities have not yet confirmed any charges, 85 luxury London properties associated with Jiangbo have been frozen. To acquire these London properties, Jiangbo used a golden passport from St Kitts and Nevis, highlighting a potential vulnerability in the UK's anti-money laundering defenses. However, the UK has implemented an Unexplained Wealth Order (UWO), requiring Jiangbo to account for the source of funds that facilitated extensive spending, including the purchase of numerous properties in the UK capital. Jiangbo's alleged ties to an illegal casino network are a significant concern, with Chinese officials accusing him of conducting illegal cross-border online operations targeting the country's citizens. Furthermore, the extent of Jiangbo's spending underscores the scale of the global unlicensed market that allegedly enabled him to amass such wealth. The substantial demand for gambling in Mainland China, where it remains largely prohibited, has fueled the growth of the illicit market, often operating from bases in Cambodia, the Philippines, or Singapore. The consultancy firm IMARC Group estimated that China's online gambling market was valued at $11.4 billion in 2024, with projections indicating a rise to $19.8 billion by 2033. Efforts to curb casino centers in Cambodia have continued this year, with enforcement actions in the country highlighting the widespread operations that continue to affect Southeast Asia. Crackdowns in Cambodia According to reports earlier this year, approximately 190 scam centers were shut down following a series of actions by Cambodian officials, leading to the arrest of 173 senior crime figures. Cambodia also recently revoked the citizenship of and extradited Chen Zhi, a Chinese-born business tycoon accused of operating a major illegal gambling network. Zhi's methods, in some respects, are similar to the accusations against Jiangbo, as Zhi also acquired property in London. However, Zhi's portfolio appeared to be more diversified, as he was the Founder of Prince Holding Group, a multi-billion-pound conglomerate based in Cambodia. The group was accused by UK and US authorities of establishing casinos and compounds to facilitate lucrative scams. A statement from Cambodia’s Interior Ministry stated: “Within the scope of cooperation in combating transnational crime and pursuant to a request from the relevant authorities of the People’s Republic of China, the authorities of the Kingdom of Cambodia have arrested three Chinese nationals – Chen Zhi, Xu Ji Liang and Shao Ji Hui and extradited to the People’s Republic of China.” It was also alleged that Zhi used offshore companies to secure property investments in the UK's capital. While Jiangbo was directly linked to London property, Zhi, through his network of companies, also faced significant asset freezes from the UK government. UK and US authorities jointly accused Zhi of engaging in "industrial scale" fraud, seizing 127,271 bitcoins, valued at approximately $15 billion, and freezing assets connected to the Prince group. UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper stated when the sanctions were announced: “Together with our US allies, we are taking decisive action to combat the growing transnational threat posed by this network – upholding human rights, protecting British nationals and keeping dirty money off our streets.” Ensuring Macau's Prosperity With Chinese nationals being the target for many unlicensed operators in Southeast Asia, securing a thriving market in Macau is still considered a strategy to counter illicit actors. In recent times, the Chinese government has also supported efforts to maintain the stability of Macau’s gambling sector and encourage the retention of VIP players in the region. A notable development saw Macau adopt a more relaxed approach to currency exchange within its venues, moving away from stringent regulations. Now, Galaxy Entertainment Group, Melco Resorts & Entertainment, and SJM Holdings can all offer currency exchanges as a result of the recently implemented changes. This is part of a broader governmental initiative to centralize control and ensure compliance within the casino sector, thereby increasing the industry's regulatory stability. iGaming Expert Analysis: This story should have significant implications across various sectors, as London's property market appears to continue being a target for individuals acquiring illicit funds through gambling. The concerns regarding the Southeast Asian market should also be considerable, given the undeniable scale of these operations and the wealth generated from them.
