(NASDAQ Ticker: HBNB) (“Hotel101” or “Hotel101 Global”), a leading asset-light, prop-tech hospitality platform pioneering a global standardized “condotel” business model listed on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange and a subsidiary of Philippine-listed DoubleDragon Corporation (PSE Ticker: DD), announces a joint venture with definitive binding agreements signed for the development of an approx. 429-room Hotel101 in San Donato Milanese, Milan, Italy. This expansion marks a significant milestone in the company’s European growth strategy, bringing its novel globally standardized “condotel” business model to one of the world’s most dynamic cities.

The hotel is expected to be in the vibrant community of San Donato Milanese, home to ENI headquarters and located approximately 8.4 kilometers southeast of the Duomo di Milano with high visibility along the Autostrada del Sole (A1), the longest motorway in Italy that links Milan to other major Italian cities such as Bologna, Florence, Rome and Naples. This 1.4 hectare prime site positions the property as an ideal gateway for leisure and business travelers seeking seamless access to Milan’s cultural and commercial hubs and will complement the existing hotel offerings in the area which includes, among others, the neighboring 436 room 4-star hotel Crowne Plaza Milan Linate as well as the nearby Novotel Milano Linate Airport and Best Western Hotel.

Connectivity to Metro Milano San Donato: Approximately 4 kilometers (5-minute drive) from the metro station, guests are expected to reach the historic Duomo di Milano via the M3 subway line directly in about 12 minutes by train. This efficient public transport link is expected to ensure easy exploration of Milan’s UNESCO-listed cathedral square, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II and surrounding fashion and cultural districts.

Golden Sunflower — Celebrating Excellence Worldwide: Hongqi’s Ultra-Luxury Sub-Brand Sets Out Globally

Globe Newswire, Lifestyle / Leave a Comment

Guoya makes its appearance atthe 2025 SailGP Grand Final — acrossover of land legendsand sea champions

Abu Dhabi, Nov. 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — On November 30, the coastline of Abu Dhabi will witness a legendary encounter. As the SailGP Grand Prix — known as the “F1 of the Sea” — reaches its season finale, the flagship model of Hongqi’s Golden Sunflower ultra-luxury brand, the Guoya, will make its historic overseas debut as the Official Trophy Vehicle.

This is not merely a collaboration; it is a dialogue at the summit of excellence, elegance, and the spirit of progress. What sparks will fly when the ocean’s wind-riding power meets the refined, heritage-infused luxury of the East?

A Legendary Encounter: Resonance Between Two Pinnacles
The SailGP Grand Prix is one of the world’s most elite sailing competitions, representing humanity’s ultimate pursuit of speed and courage. Each vessel is a masterpiece of precision engineering, and every athlete is a virtuoso who dances with the wind.

Golden Sunflower, positioned as Hongqi’s ultra-luxury sub-brand—akin to Maybach under Mercedes-Benz—carries a mission beyond mobility. It transforms Eastern aesthetics into a drivable work of art, standing apart in the global luxury space.

When the king of the sea meets the legend of the land, and when masters of oceanic speed encounter the grand masters of Eastern design, it becomes more than a cross-border meeting. It is an exploration and shared resonance in the pursuit of the ultimate.

Legacy and Evolution: From a National Legend to Golden Sunflower

The story of Hongqi began in 1958, an era filled with ideals and ambition. When the first Hongqi sedan rolled off the assembly line, it represented not just the birth of a marque, but the start of a national industrial dream. From that moment, a road paved with craftsmanship and heritage began to unfold across China.

As the most iconic nameplate in China’s automotive history, Hongqi has delivered countless defining moments. Its “exemplary” DNA has long been etched into the collective memory of a nation.

As history advances, every legend requires a new chapter. In 2023, Hongqi officially unveiled Golden Sunflower as its ultra-luxury sub-brand, marking a pivotal step toward creating a “personal flagship vehicle” for global elites who resonate with the spirit of the times.

Oriental Elegance: The Cultural Core of Golden Sunflower

The Golden Sunflower brand draws its cultural depth from the fertile heritage of Eastern civilization and the enduring spirit of Hongqi. Its core values — Exemplarity, Reverence, and Legacy—define its identity. Exemplarity sets the standard, Reverence crafts the experience, and Legacy endows the soul. Together, they shape an Eastern ultra-luxury brand that stands confidently and gracefully on the world stage.

Exemplarity embodies the spiritual height of the Golden Sunflower. The brand’s pursuit of the extraordinary has evolved into a deeply rooted belief — one that goes beyond uncompromising product quality to the seamless fusion of Eastern aesthetics and modern technology. In every journey and every detail, Golden Sunflower redefines the meaning of ultra-luxury through standards that exceed all expectations.

Reverence reflects Golden Sunflower’s promise of value. With leader-grade safety as the foundation of trust, impeccable craftsmanship as the benchmark of ultra-luxury, and refined artistry as a contemporary expression of Eastern aesthetics, the brand creates an experience of noble comfort that resonates both physically and emotionally. Every drive becomes a treasured moment of reverence, setting a new benchmark for the industry’s luxury experience.

Legacy is the cultural lifeline of Golden Sunflower. Rooted in China’s rich historical heritage, the brand interprets the contemporary spirit of Eastern aesthetics through its grand and timeless design language. It revitalizes age-old craftsmanship within modern industrial design, distilling eternal beauty into every detail. Each vehicle becomes not only a masterpiece of automotive engineering but also a vessel of culture, fostering dialogue across eras.

A Moment atthe Summit: The Guoya Awaits Its Crown
At this meeting of land-crafted elegance and ocean-driven passion, Golden Sunflower’s flagship masterpiece — the Guoya — is poised to make its grand debut in the Middle Eastern market.

As the honored witness of the championship, the Guoya will be formally designated the Official Trophy Vehicle. It will stand in ceremonial presence at the awards celebration, offering the highest tribute to the new champions of the sea.

When the sailing champion lifts the trophy beside this pinnacle of automotive artistry, it becomes not only a moment between two worlds of excellence—but a perfect expression of the philosophy that “Greatness Knows No Boundaries.”

The highly anticipated “Golden Sunflower Gala Night” will take place simultaneously. Hongqi Golden Sunflower invites the world’s elites to gather by the shimmering waters and rising winds to experience the pinnacle of Oriental luxury, witnessing a dialogue that bridges land and sea.

For sixty-seven years, Hongqi has weathered the winds of history and now stands proudly at the center of the world stage. Golden Sunflower, carrying the soul of Oriental elegance, is writing a bold new chapter in the story of China’s automotive excellence.

Fangzhou and Tencent Healthcare Launch Full-Stack AI Solution for Chronic-Disease Management

AI, Globe Newswire, Technology / Leave a Comment

SHANGHAI, Nov. 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Fangzhou Inc. (“Fangzhou” or the “Company”) (HKEX: 06086), a leading provider of AI-driven Internet healthcare solutions, and Tencent Healthcare jointly launched a comprehensive “AI+Chronic Disease Management” solution, marking a major step in the wider deployment of artificial intelligence across China’s healthcare sector. The partnership provides industry partners with an integrated technology pipeline, from model training and scenario verification to deployment, aimed at advancing chronic-disease management into a new phase of intelligent, and high-efficiency service delivery.

The solution is built on Fangzhou’s AI+H2H (Hospital to Home) ecosystem, a core architecture that embeds proprietary large-model capabilities into chronic-disease workflows. Tencent Cloud, as a leading cloud services provider, offers extensive capabilities in core technological domains including cloud computing, big data, and artificial intelligence. This strategic collaboration will provide a robust technological foundation for the transformation of AI-enhanced chronic disease management.

Fangzhou Inc. and Tencent Healthcare jointly launched a comprehensive “AI+Chronic Disease Management” solution

Fangzhou Inc. and Tencent Healthcare jointly launched a comprehensive “AI+Chronic Disease Management” solution

Dr. Xie Fangmin, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Fangzhou, remarked: “By combining Fangzhou’s specialized healthcare and chronic disease management expertise with Tencent Healthcare’s industrial-grade infrastructure, we are bringing validated, scalable AI capabilities to the entire healthcare ecosystem, and setting a new standard for the evolution of chronic-disease management in China.”

This launch follows Fangzhou’s recent AI growth momentum. The October introduction of the Company’s “medical report interpretation” feature saw particularly strong adoption, addressing a widespread patient need to better understand complex lab results. Rising engagement levels and session frequency also reflect growing user confidence in AI capabilities.

Safety and compliance remain central to Fangzhou’s approach. To address the risk of AI hallucinations in sensitive clinical settings, the company has implemented multiple layers of protection, including reinforcement learning with curated knowledge bases, rule-based supervision, and medical-scenario alignment checks.

Sebastian Stroeller Frameworks Introduces Active Waiting and MAP Model for Readiness-Based Behavioral Change

A New Cognitive-Behavioral Framework for Readiness-Based Change and Structural Alignment

Chiang Mai, Chiang Mai , Nov. 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sebastian Stroeller Frameworks, a behavioral modeling and research initiative, today announced the formal release of the Active Waiting framework and its structural companion, the MAP Model (Mindful Awareness, Active Preparation, Purposeful Patience). This new approach offers a readiness-based lens for psychological and behavioral transformation, shifting the focus from correction and motivation to structural alignment and emotional timing.

Sebastian Stroeller Frameworks Introduces Active Waiting and MAP Model for Readiness-Based Behavioral Change

MAP-Model by Sebastian Stroeller

Developed through applied behavioral inquiry, emotional pattern analysis, and structural observation work conducted in relational, therapeutic, and sensory environments, Active Waiting proposes that progress cannot be sustainably achieved by intensifying effort, correction, or compliance. Instead, change becomes possible when the underlying structure has matured to support it—when the individual, system, or relationship is ready for transformation, not pushed into it.

Rather than focusing on behavioral correction, goal pursuit, or motivational activation, the MAP Model explores the structural prerequisites of psychological change. It emphasizes that:

Mindful Awareness initiates clarity by recognising protective behavior not as resistance, but as information.
Active Preparation focuses on shaping the relational, emotional, and environmental conditions in which change can emerge.
Purposeful Patience is not passive waiting—but the deliberate suspension of forcing, allowing structure to organize before outcome appears.

Together, these principles describe a model in which alignment precedes action, and where outcomes become inevitable rather than pursued.

“We don’t change by chasing outcomes.
We change when we become structurally ready to receive them.”
— Sebastian Stroeller, Chiang Mai, developer of the Active Waiting framework

The Active Waiting Framework, the MAP Model, and NeuroBond are documented as working papers and structural concept drafts on Zenodo and Figshare.
All versions, including updates, conceptual refinements, and future structural expansions, are archived under the author’s ORCID profile.

NeuroBond: A Complementary Relational Framework

In parallel with Active Waiting, Stroeller also developed NeuroBond, a relational communication model focused on connection over correction. NeuroBond examines how emotional signals, sensory safety, and mutual awareness shape behavioral organization—particularly in interspecies relationships and trauma-based relational work.

NeuroBond formalizes the concept that behavior is not a symptom to be corrected, but a structural expression of trust, safety, and relational readiness. Both frameworks reject intervention through dominance, repetition, or compliance, instead emphasizing structural clarity, emotional presence, and readiness before behavior shifts.

Conceptual Positioning

Traditional Approach
Behavior is treated as the target, something to be corrected, adjusted, or controlled.
Effort is directed toward compliance, obedience, and visible change.

Active Waiting & The MAP Model
Behavior is seen as a messenger — information about what is not yet ready, not yet safe, or not yet understood.
Change is not forced. It is prepared for by building readiness, structure, and relational safety.

Traditional Approach
Change is driven through motivation, discipline, repetition, or pressure.

Active Waiting & The MAP Model
Change becomes possible when the emotional and structural conditions are ready.
It emerges when forcing is no longer necessary.

Traditional Approach
The focus is on reaching the goal.

Active Waiting & The MAP Model
The focus is on creating the maturity and alignment that make the goal reachable — and eventually inevitable.

Traditional Approach
Control, instruction, and correction are used to generate external compliance.

Active Waiting & The MAP Model
Clarity, observation, timing, and emotional organization allow behavior to reorganize itself — from within.

Traditional Approach
The question is: “How do I make change happen?”

Active Waiting & The MAP Model
The question is: “What is missing for change to be ready?”

In this shift, change stops being an achievement —
and starts becoming a structural consequence.

Not a Therapeutic Method — A Structural Lens

Active Waiting is not a coaching method, not a therapy system, and not a motivational framework.
It is a structural perspective that clarifies why change cannot be forced—and when change becomes naturally accessible.

It is applicable across behavioral therapy, relational trauma work, leadership, emotional communication, education, and interspecies interaction, but is not restricted to any one of these fields.

It does not teach technique.
It helps recognize when technique is unnecessary because readiness has been built.

Origin & Development

Active Waiting & the MAP Model were developed in Chiang Mai, through an extended observation-based inquiry in behavioral restructuring, emotional safety design, trauma-informed relationship work, and structural modeling of readiness.

It emerged not from theoretical construction, but from observing when and why change becomes possible without force — in people, animals, and systems.

“Readiness is not waiting.
It is the architecture that makes waiting unnecessary.”
— Sebastian Stroeller
