about China

Page 2: 7 Common Misunderstandings about China

China is much the same as America was in the 50’s (or Japan in the 80’s, or Mexico in

the 90’s, and so on).

Page 3: 7 Common Misunderstandings about China

It appears like this may be a decent notable similarity; in any case, China is essentially too enormous, excessively intricate, and

particularly integrated with whatever is left of the world. Likewise, China’s purchaser society is skyrocketing in its own and an

interesting way.

China’s open/government information are by and large untrustworthy.

Page 5: 7 Common Misunderstandings about China

There have been colossal walks as of late in the accessibility and nature of open information, particularly for urban

demographics. Close consideration ought to be given to the improvement arrangements of the

focal and city governments. Their arrangements are clear and likewise entirely

goal-oriented.

Government officials are typically more than willing to help new business advance and

give different and imperative information/realities (i.e. populace thickness, retail bunches, transportation infrastructure, and so on.) keeping in mind the end goal to invigorate development within their groups.

China’s internet resembles whatever is left of the world.

Page 8: 7 Common Misunderstandings about China

As Google’s dramatization in China was as of late highlighted, their internet is very one of a kind and

worth the additional opportunity to investigate. A large portion of the substantial US-based locales, for example, eBay, Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, and so

on are insignificant and for all intents and purposes, non-existent. China has its internet heartbeat, and it is significantly different contrasted with the Western

world.

China’s shoppers are part urban and provincial.

Page 10: 7 Common Misunderstandings about China

This is incompletely right. Be that as it may, most worldwide brands are spending their time and endeavors

within a couple constrained parts of China, generally inside the 6-8 mega urban areas. The greater part of China’s shopper business sector is overwhelmingly

bunched within urban communities that have staggering populaces. More imperative, nonetheless, is the

closeness to the nation’s social focuses, for example, Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong.

Page 11: 7 Common Misunderstandings about China

There are huge generational gaps.

Page 12: 7 Common Misunderstandings about China

Generational gaps are truth be told gigantic, and they manifest more often than not. This is immediate after

effect of amazingly quick financial development. Changes in both innovation and society have been the main reason. Today’s young grown-ups in China grew up

listening to different Asian kid bands and youngsters in the interim are watching China’s form of unscripted

television. Is it any marvel they grasp a different viewpoint, which in turn puzzles their older folks?

China is quickly westernizing

Page 14: 7 Common Misunderstandings about China

China is modernizing and becoming increasingly influenced by Western Society, , simply take a gander at all of the KFCs and McDonald’s the nation over. In any case,

would we be able to call it truly westernizing if those US-based eateries offer congee as a

component of their breakfast menu?

Page 15: 7 Common Misunderstandings about China

While there is a remarkable increase in Western brands and lifestyle alternatives, it is additionally

coordinated by an increased interest in notable Chinese society. Truth be told, there is a solid contention that China is

becoming more Chinese.

Likewise, there’s another often-neglected influence, and it’s situated in North Asia.

Japan, the world’s second-biggest economy, sits off China’s shore, and its social influence

is at any rate as significant as that of the Western world. South Korea likewise

impacts the youthful grown-ups of China.

Chinese youth run in isolated groups

Page 18: 7 Common Misunderstandings about China

There is some truth to this, and youngsters are segmenting themselves at prior ages

these days. In any case, these groups look different from their Western partners. In

the West, we can utilize magazines, music, and brand affiliations as an approach to

best depict a gathering or tribe.

Page 19: 7 Common Misunderstandings about China

These don’t exactly work in China in light of the fact that the print media is moderately

little, and the music scene is extremely disjointed as an aftereffect of theft. Brand

inclination can be effortlessly graphic in the bigger urban areas, yet in whatever is left of

the nation, brand differentiation is significantly more obscured.

Page 20: 7 Common Misunderstandings about China

Along these lines, children float towards big name inclination, side interests, and

participate in different online clubs, and so forth to differentiate themselves.

Page 21: 7 Common Misunderstandings about China

As we have witnessed over the past 10-15 years, market dynamics within China are changing very rapidly as a result of high growth and an influx of both foreign and

local private enterprises.

Page 22: 7 Common Misunderstandings about China

So, market research data must be regularly refreshed and reviewed to remain current. Also, proper consideration must be made

to a company’s governance model that integrates their China operations with a global perspective, while retaining in-

country business autonomy.
