Most Visited Blog watch to Fashion Week in China

The annual China Fashion Week opened in Beijing on Wednesday.

First event of the Week was the International Young Fashion Designer Competition, a contest involving more than 30 designers from 18 countries including France, Germany and Russia.

Veteran Chinese fashion designers say this year's entrants have delivered some excellent collections. Ma Yanli is among those who were impressed while watching the contest.

"I thought the designs for this year would be a little bit immature, but I am really surprised to see that many of them are quite developed. The ideas and materials for the designs are great as well."

There will be approximately 50 events including fashion shows, professional contests, conferences and forums during the China Fashion Week.

This is the 13th year that Beijing has hosted China Fashion Week. It runs until March 30.

Monkey Wedding in China

A 7-year-old male monkey named Wukong and a 6-year old female monkey named Xiaoya are seen during a special wedding ceremony at the zoo.

Turns out the wedding was a publicity stunt to attract more visitors. Credit crunch affecting the real world.

Google Admits China was a Mistake.

"Do No Evil" With Chinese Characteristics

... When using the Chinese Google to search for "sensitive words" like Falungong and Tiananmen, the following message is displayed at the bottom of the search result page: 据当地法律法规和政策，部分搜索结果未予显示. It means "To comply with local laws, regulations and policies, some search results are not displayed".

That message is a clear indication to anyone with curiosity that there are more juicy offerings about that subject in the big bad world of the international Internet. Google's American-hosted servers are still accessible from China at Google.com ...

The self-righteous anger is absurd. People who say Google should pull out of China rather than offer a censored service do not use the Internet in China ...

Danwei confirms what I thought - Google.cn with servers in China is censored. But Google.com and its simplified Chinese version which are powered by servers outside China are still open to mainland Chinese users. It is up to Chinese netizens to choose. Of course if they are searching for Chinese entertainment news they would use Google.cn because presumably it would be more stable. What is more interesting (paradoxical, perhaps) is that when one is searching for Tiananmen for travel arrangements with Google.cn, he will find a reminder that the search results are censored. So as Danwei observes, the message may well be seen as "a stand against censorship in a small way".

* * *

A censored Google.cn is doing much better than Baidu, a Beijing-based Nasdaq-listed market leader, in advancing the flow of information. I did a search of "六四" (June 4, the date of the Tiananmen massacre) at both Google.cn and Baidu in Hong Kong. True, one can find nothing "politically incorrect" at the disinfected Google.cn. But at least one is informed about the fact that the search results have been censored.

"The china wholesale trader" Review

Story Behind the Success

Five years of operating marketing offices in China (HangZhou, TianJin, and ChengDu) has convinced us that the Chinese online market is in no way comparable to America's online market. Below are a 4 important factors (of many) that we take into consideration when preparing our clients for submersion in the Chinese Market:

1.	Language and Cultural: Many Western companies do more harm than good with a culturally unaware approach to the Chinese market. Your marketing approach should involve much more than simply translating your English content into Chinese. Our native Chinese team understands how to present your message in harmony with Chinese values.
2.	Chinese Laws: China law prohibits many tactics, strategies, and business models that are lawful in the United States. Violation of Chinese Internet law (even if vague) could black-list your website and company in China forever. Since our Chinese offices are established under Chinese corporate law, we are committed to protecting both ours and your long term interests in China.

3.	Chinese Internet Barrier: The Chinese and Western Internet are separated by a language barrier and a government firewall. But the gulf is further widened by an army of websites that provide Chinese versions of Western sites, such as Google, YouTube, Blogger, FaceBook, Twitter, EBay, etc. Our team understands and is intimately involved in the fiercely competitive Chinese landscape (BaiDu, YouKu, TuDou, Sina, KaiXin001, RenRen, DouBan, Digu, ZouSa, TaoTao, TaoBao, etc.).. We can accurately determine the appropriate partnership for your goals.
4.	Chinese Net Citizens: A brief look at the research conducted by JTW and IAC, below, demonstrate how different Chinese NetCitizen behavior is to their American counterparts. Our team keeps abreast of the break-neck speed changes of Chinese Net Citizens.

Self-expression on the web

I have expressed personal opinions and/or written about myself online:

Online I feel free to do and say things I wouldn't do or say :

I sometimes express myself more strongly online than I generally do in person:

Relationships online

It's perfectly possible to have real relationships online with no face-to-face contact:
