And while you can certainly just hop down to the supermarket and pick up a package of frozen dumplings, making your own is a whole lot more rewarding. If you're not fortunate enough to have Chinese in-laws to lend a hand, constructing the suckers can be a bit of a challenge. Jen at Tiny Urban Kitchen has a great step-… I danced and filmed all over, including: Beijing, Chengdu, Xi'An, Lhasa (Tibet), Yangshuo, Zhangjiajie, Shanghai, Feng Huang, and Hong Kong.
e-collective “From a deep pool of blue ink rises an image…” – this is written on Blueprint‘s Neocha.com homepage, a digital collective that describes itself as a Chinese creative group with no artistic bounds. In an “Internet world” filled with many options for exploring different kinds of creative content, we find ourselves frequently entering Blueprint’s creative world. Their distinctive style comes from the ambient / “lowercase” electronic sound they produce as well as their visual works, which exude a subtle mysticism. The depth and breadth of content under the “Blueprint” name actually comes from members who live in many cities, including Zhengzhou, Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Chongqing, Guangzhou, Nanjing, among others. It’s important to note here that the new generation of Chinese creatives can’t be neatly divided into the usual first tier city, second tier city, etc. classifications.

China's Consumer Market: explained Just finished the book, Chocolate Fortunes: The Battle for the Hearts, Minds, and Wallets of China’s Consumers, by Lawrence L. Allen. It’s a very good book. The book is about the competition between Hershey’s, Mars, Ferraro Rocher, Nestle and Cadbury for the Chinese consumer. But it is really more about what it takes to succeed in the consumer products business in China. And lest anyone ever thought China consumer sales would be easy, Chocolate Fortunes thoroughly dispels that notion, while explaining exactly what it does take to succeed or fail in China. Marketing in China 1: Think Local Act Local When more than 300 people attired in red and blue jackets with the words "I Love China" emblazoned over them lined up for the raising of the national flag at the world famous Tian An Men Square in several winter mornings of 1996, one would expect their faces would be all be Chinese. Their whole-hearted explosive singing of the Chinese National Anthem with the raising of the flag each morning made them sound like a squad from the local cadet academy.
Marketing in China: Adaptation vs. Standardization Details Published: June 15, 2012 Chasing China's Shoppers (Wall Street Journal) Business Bookshelf: Understanding Chinese consumers "What makes Chinese people tick?" What a great opening sentence for a book. Because what makes Chinese people tick is also what makes Chinese people buy. And these days, virtually everyone involved in selling anything, anywhere, wants to know how to sell it to the Chinese. The line comes from "What Chinese Want: Culture, Communism and China'sModern Consumer," a new book published by Palgrave Macmillan and written by Tom Doctoroff, chief executive of advertising agency JWT in Shanghai and the doyen of foreign marketers in China. But the theme — understandingChina'stransformation and how it affects those who want to make money from it — is so popular that two other books published this spring also take a crack at it.
