The Fund does not seek to track any index or benchmark, and there is no replication or representative sampling conducted by the Manager. It may fail to meet its objective as a result of the Manager’s selection of investments, and/or the implementation of processes which may cause the Fund to underperform as compared to other index tracking funds with a similar objective.The Fund’s investment in equity securities is subject to general market risks, whose value may fluctuate due to various factors, such as changes in investment sentiment, political and economic conditions and issuer-specific factors.The Fund is an FPI registered with the SEBI. The applicable laws, rules and guidelines on FPI impose limits on the ability of FPI to acquire shares in certain Indian issuers from time to time and are subject to change. This may also adversely affect the performance of the Fund.The FPI status of the Sub-Fund may be revoked by the SEBI under certain circumstances. In the event the Fund’s registration as an FPI is cancelled, revoked, terminated or not renewed, this would adversely impact the ability of the Fund to make further investments, or to hold and dispose of existing investment in Indian securities. The Fund may be required to liquidate all holdings in Indian securities acquired by the Fund as an FPI. Such liquidation may have to be undertaken at a substantial discount and the Fund may suffer significant/substantial losses.The Fund’s investments are concentrated in securities in India. The value of the Fund may be more susceptible to adverse economic, political, policy, foreign exchange, liquidity, tax, legal or regulatory event affecting the Indian market.High market volatility and potential settlement difficulties in the equity market in India may result in significant fluctuations in the prices of the securities traded on such market and thereby may adversely affect the value of the Fund. The BSE has the right to suspend trading in any security traded thereon. The Indian government or the regulators in India may also implement policies that may affect the Indian financial markets. There can be no assurance that the Indian government will not impose restrictions on foreign exchange and the repatriation of capital.The taxation of income and capital gains in India is subject to the fiscal law of India.

The Fund may as a result suffer from a loss or delay when recovering the securities lent out. This may restrict the Fund’s ability in meeting delivery or payment obligations from realisation requests.The trading price of the Units on the SEHK is driven by market factors such as the demand and supply of the Units. Therefore, the Units may trade at a substantial premium or discount to the Fund’s Net Asset Value.Investors should note that where a unitholder holds Listed Class of Units traded under the USD counter, the relevant unitholder will only receive distributions in HKD and not USD.Payments of distributions out of capital and/or effectively out of capital amounts to a return or withdrawal of part of an investor’s original investment or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment.

Global Times: The ‘engines’ behind China’s cultural ‘troika’: online dramas, games and novels

Published

2 minutes ago

on

November 26, 2024

By

BEIJING, Nov. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — “Watching this drama throws me back to my school days when I used to watch many films and dramas from Hong Kong.” “I even tried the snacks mentioned in the novel, indulging in the same treats while reading.” Such online comments about Chinese cultural works on overseas social media and review platforms are fairly common. Audiences around the world are increasingly sharing reviews and forming online communities around China’s popular cultural products, especially online literature, games and dramas, despite physical distances.

Online dramas, games and novels have been seen as the “troika” of Chinese culture winning global audiences, according to reports such as the Report on the Development of Chinese Online Literature released by the Institute of Literature, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

Rooted in rich traditional culture and aligned with shared human values and sentiments, a growing number of cultural works in the realms of this “troika” have thrived, thanks in part to convenient channels of communication. These works not only showcase the uniqueness and allure of Chinese culture but also foster deeper connections among people around the globe.

Since Wednesday, international audiences on Netflix have been able to watch the thriller series See Her Again, centered on the fight between evil and justice, simultaneously with Chinese viewers on domestic video platform Tencent. This synchronized release has provided audiences with the opportunity to engage in real-time discussions about the drama across various review platforms.

Netizens have flocked to platforms like MyDramaList and Reddit to share their thoughts on the plot, background music, and characters in the drama, often receiving responses from other users.

“I can’t wait for the next episode. Wondering who is the real culprit. I’m on ep 10. I like time travel dramas. For me the storyline is interesting,” commented one viewer. Reviews like these are often upvoted by other netizens. These positive reactions are reflected in the drama’s viewership numbers on Netflix, where it has climbed to the Top 4 on the popularity list for Singapore.

“The online drama showcasing the local social atmosphere and customs also seeks to discuss the common values and shared emotions of all of humanity such as seeking the truth, protecting loved ones and upholding justice. This is the main reason that the work can stand out and attract audiences in different regions,” Shi Wenxue, a veteran cultural critic based in Beijing, told the Global Times on Monday.

“This is just like the hit online game Black Myth: Wukong,” Shi added, noting that the success stories of these remarkable cultural works across various forms share common factors.

The game secured top honors at the 2024 Golden Joystick Awards on Friday, winning “Ultimate Game of the Year” and “Best Visual Design,” while earning additional nominations for “Best Game Direction,” “Best Action Game,” and “Best Art Direction.” The results evoked cheers among international players, many of whom noted that this game deserves its reputation.

Shi noted that rooted in Chinese classics and traditional legends, Chinese game developers have been striving to weave compelling narratives with distinct Chinese characteristics through games. In doing so, they have created an expansive world view and values that resonate with global youth, contributing to the global success of their works.

Zhang Peng, a cultural researcher and associate professor at Nanjing Normal University, attributed Chinese online literature’s growing popularity overseas to its rich Chinese cultural elements, common spirit and innovative promulgation channels.

“Chinese online literature integrates diverse media and forms a diverse path of global dissemination. Besides this, the protagonists’ spirit such as persistence and wisdom in these works, along with the rich elements of traditional Chinese culture, render them highly captivating and influential, enabling overseas readers to gain a better understanding of China,” Zhang told the Global Times on Monday.

By the end of 2023, the number of Chinese online literature readers had reached a record 537 million, with the overseas market for this genre surpassing 4 billion yuan ($552 million) and spanning over 200 countries and regions.

Jose from Peru, Hoan from Poland and Vaishnu Ojha from India are representatives of the numerous readers of Chinese web novels. They are loyal followers of the hit Chinese web novel Lord of the Mysteries, a top-ranked fantasy, adventure and steampunk thriller that has amassed over 47 million views on WebNovel.

The three readers of the novel have formed a 24,000-member group on Facebook run by Vaishnu Ojha. They discuss classic passages in the book and share their reviews of newly released content with other group members around the world. For them, the online group has been a spiritual home or a joyful base to communicate with peers.

Zhang noted that as important carriers of Chinese culture, online literature, games and dramas allow global readers to access and understand Chinese culture through unique stories and cultural elements, thereby enhancing their understanding and awareness of Chinese culture.

“The global popularity of the ‘troika’ demonstrates the need for us to pay greater attention to the power of the internet and to fully leverage its advantage in disseminating Chinese culture. This approach will help foster a positive international atmosphere that respects Chinese history, appreciates Chinese culture, and understands the essence of the Chinese spirit,” said Zhang.
