Our Cover Story this month is a high-fly article about one of the most remarkable company in Tianjin and maybe in China during the last 10 years. We hope that our detailed interview of Dr. Christoph Schrempp, General Manager of Airbus Tianjin Delivery Centre and Chairman, Tianjin Board, of the European Chamber of Commerce in China, will have educated our readers about the industry in general and its operations in China. Owing to the global nature of this business, its presence in China offers a great opportunity to observe how industries function at this massive scale.
Now that Brexit is almost a reality, our feature story evaluates its impact on China in every sphere and what it means for our economy in particular. There is more on the investment front with latest news and trends from all over the world being scanned, unorthodox channels of investment, discussion on problems that foreign investors and their employees face in China and also a peek at ecommerce in the country. We take pride in providing you the latest economic report wherein you will have gained a deep insight into the functioning of the Chinese economy and would be better placed to chart your own course of action.
For those who are into entrepreneurship, we hope that our comprehensive coverage of how to safeguard your trade secrets spanning over two articles and an in-depth look into bootstrapping would enable you to understand the nitty-gritty and soar towards your objectives. In the real estate sector, we decided to highlight the developments taking place in the Hedong district that have been crucial in swinging its reputation from being a run-down area into a smart hub. Also highlighted in this edition is the Tianjin Haihe River Lighting Project which is nearing completion and is already evolving into a principle attraction in the city.
Wishing our readers luck and urging you to visit our website www.businesstianjin.com and follow us in our official Wechat account (ID: business_tianjin) for more on latest trends and information.
Yours Sincerely,
