International Women’s Day was celebrated on 8th March, but we think it should be observed each day of the year. So many organizations join hands to highlight outstanding individuals who have contributed to the advancement of women’s rights and take initiatives towards further advancement of bridging the gender parity.
To commemorate this special day, Business Tianjin and Tianjin Plus Magazines in tandem with Shangri-La Hotel, Tianjin, invited cooperate leaders to celebrate this special day at Café Yun, Shangri-La Hotel, Tianjin. We dedicate this issue’s Cover Story to every single woman and hopefully it serve to recognize their important role in society. Our congratulations to all women simply for being a woman!
We interacted with Jason Will, a professional that has been in the moving industry for 26 years, and counting. From starting in a business development role in Australia to now managing the Asian Tigers business in China, it has been a long and interesting journey for him, and as he said, he is still learning new things! The moving industry has evolved his entire life, and is continuing to evolve still.
We analyze in our feature story how China-US relationship affects global economic affairs. These two biggest economies in the world are considered as being economic gravity centres, whose economic activities affect regional and global economies alike. Given their size and global reach, the relationship between the two can fall somewhere on a spectrum between high cooperation and intense competition.
Economic projections for the month remain very positive for the rest of this year for China, based on the numbers from the first two months. Check our economy section and see why the outlook remains positive even while economic activity has been slowing down recently.
