MADE IN CHINA
STORM: l’altra Cina, che non vuole essere solo la fabbrica del mondo, ma punta ad emergere come hub di creatività, qualità ed innovazione.
Nel 1978 la Cina decise di aprirsi al mondo.
Con la morte di Mao Zedong, preceduta dalla ben nota Rivoluzione Culturale, Deng Xiaoping sale al potere facendosi portavoce della Politica della Porta Aperta. Oggi la Cina viene associata dall’opinione pubblica alla fabbrica del mondo per il suo ruolo di primo esportatore di merci al mondo. Ma nella Cina contemporanea che ruolo ricoprono concetti quali innovazione e creatività?
TRUST YOUR EYES (IF YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT CHINA)
Top executives need to go to China and stay for a couple of weeks. Visit Shanghai, Hong Kong, Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Tianjin. And while you’re at it, spend a few days in Taipei. Then go back again.

If you really want to know what’s happening in Chinese-speaking Asia, the statistics tell only part of the story. For the rest of the story, trust your eyes.
I do agree with the idea of going and seeing, but I do believe that anyway a couple of weeks is no way enough to know and learn about China. Staying there a couple of weeks you can only pretend to know China and the Chinese market.
Wear it as you mean it
For a wearable to be successful, it has to be something you want on your body all day anyway, even if it had no function.
Wearable gadgets learn how to behave in order to meet user’s needs and desires. They are unlocking data we never managed to have before and they blend perfectly with our life.
How happy are you?
I love this:
… in order to lower your expectations. Because low expectations are a good strategy.
Isn’t that true? Low expectations make whatever shine. High expectations make everything dull. Doing research, living, studying, this is the truth.
YES, I WAS RIGHT (2 YEARS AGO)
Almost two years ago I graduated with a thesis named “Chinese Sexuality: instilling the concept of sexual wellness in Chinese women”. I was stressing how the sex toys market is blooming, but it can only be associated with Chinese mindset changing, but it is not directly linked with an improvement in Chinese sexual education.
