CCTV+: Deqing Steps Into the Global Travel Spotlight

BEIJING, Aug. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — From August 8 to 10, 2025, the 'China Up Close Series: Zhejiang Tour' brought a contingent of nearly 70 journalists and editors from South Korea, Spain, Bulgaria, and Iceland to Deqing, a county in Zhejiang province. Alongside CGTN (China Global Television Network), they trained their lenses and notebooks on the region, seeking to capture its landscapes, history and cultural rhythms for audiences abroad. The Naked Castle Resort — a hilltop property that has become one of Deqing's signature attractions — fuses eco-tourism with leisure and recreation. Perched amid forested slopes, it offered the visitors a glimpse of the county's slower mountain pace and the ways in which its natural setting is being enlisted to support sustainable development. At the AI Virtual Film Studio, run by Zhejiang-based Versatile Media, the group screened promotional films and was introduced to virtual production techniques. The centerpiece was the studio's 'super screen system,' a 270-degree curved LED wall stretching 50 meters (164 feet) across. As cinematic vistas unfurled, several stepped into the scene themselves, momentarily part of a big-budget production. The program also led the delegation to Meet the Earth's Core — a café built inside a cave — as well as the OSM Pearl Museum, Xiazhu Lake National Wetland Park, Xinshi Ancient Town and Mocun Resort. Each stop added another layer to the portrait of a county balancing heritage with a modern creative edge.

A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than October 10, 2025. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. Why Rosen Law: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles.

In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers. Details of the case: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) SelectQuote was directing Medicare beneficiaries to the plans offered by insurers that best compensated SelectQuote, regardless of the quality or suitability of the insurers' plans; (2) SelectQuote did not provided unbiased comparison shopping for Medicare Advantage insurance plans; (3) SelectQuote received illegal kickbacks to steer Medicare beneficiaries to certain insurers and limit enrollment in competitors' plans; (4) as a result, SelectQuote had not complied with applicable laws, regulations, and contractual provisions; (5) SelectQuote was vulnerable to regulatory and legal sanctions as a result of its conduct, including claims that it had violated the False Claims Act; and (6) as a result of the foregoing, defendants' positive statements about SelectQuote's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
