Business Tianjin OUT! September 2019 Edition
Written by Helen Tuesday, 03 September 2019 15:55
We interacted this month with Long Yingzhi, site manager of AAA Dornier Technology (Tianjin) Co., Ltd., to know more about his experience working with foreign companies in China across different sectors, but mainly automotive and aeronautic. He is managing the daily operation of AAA Tianjin team by working on the Final Assembly Line of AIRBUS Tianjin, his company’s main customer.
China’s trade balance showed positive results in July. The US-dollar denominated exports increased by 3.3% in July from the same a year ago, and imports, on the other hand, decreased by 5.6% over a period of one year. Customs data showed that the trade surplus was $45.06 billion. With the US, China’s trade surplus stood at $27.97 billion in July, lower than the previous month’s $29.92 billion. In the first seven months of 2019, China’s trade surplus with the U.S. has totalled $168.5 billion.
China is the world’s biggest source of greenhouse gases, and has pledged to bring emissions to a peak by “around 2030”. Still a long way and hard work, but during this year China has taken several decisions to reduce the dependency of polluted sources. One of the most important is the Ulanqab Wind Power Base, which is the largest onshore series of wind farms in the world, with a capacity of delivering 18.9TWh a year to power the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. You can read an intensive report about this topic in our Feature Story.
Construction in the capital’s east Tongzhou is full speed ahead to complete the largest Universal Studios outlet in Asia. Universal Studios Beijing will open in the spring of 2021 and will be housed in a 400-hectares Universal Beijing Resort which will house among others, the Universal CityWalk retail, dining and entertainment complex and the first ever Universal-themed resort hotel along with the first Nuo-branded resort hotel of Beijing Tourism Group.
The park will be twice bigger than Universal Studios Japan and five times larger than Universal Studios Singapore. Several themed zones highlight the greatest of Universal Studios-owned assets along with exciting flagship attractions. While specific details on the park’s entertainment blueprint are under tight secrecy, we can assume that the park will feature highly popular choices, but more massive in terms of scale.

Business Tianjin OUT! August 2019 Edition
Written by Helen Thursday, 01 August 2019 18:15
Last month we have visited one of the most emblematic hotels in the planet earth. China World Hotel, Beijing has hosted some of the most important dignitaries and business leaders in the world. The hotel is also known as the ‘second state guest house’ for visiting state leaders, and since its opening in 1990, it is the preferred venue for many flagship conferences and international business events. Recently they have just officially unveiled the new and upgraded Horizon Club rooms and suites, and we have the privilege to talk with Stephan Kapek, who has been appointed Area Manager of Shangri-La Group and General Manager of China World Hotel, Beijing, and his main focus is to Develop Leadership in Hospitality.
Main economic growth numbers released on June are at historically low levels, yet, many other indicators appear to be healthy. The country reported the weakest economic growth in 27 years (since 1992). The Chinese government still has much room to manoeuvre and remain on track to achieve its ambitious growth goals. However, the global economic environment appears to be challenging, which can make the government’s task harder. Asian economies are usually the first to take a hit when tensions happen, as they are densely connected with the Chinese economy. Analysts expect that the economy will weaken further in the second half. A major factor behind this is the weakening international demand. Despite this, many economists still expect an annual growth rate of over 6 percentage points. The government is expected to increase its intervention.
Lately, when I meet people that I know from long time ago, I get the weird feeling that we don’t need to say anything to know our thoughts. It is common to us, the situation that we are passing, but at the same time, it is different. No new words to say, but we know that it is coming the time of uncertainty that normally comes after few years, and especially when western countries are closer to a crisis, that I guess will happen again soon.
I know many factories are closed or in the process of closing. People are not optimistic, but they don’t feel afraid, as they are used to change and find their way. They feel protected in some way from the measures that the government is taking or will take in the near future.

Business Tianjin OUT! July 2019 Edition

We have the privilege this month to interview Mr Volker Palm, CEO of WAGO Electronic (Tianjin) Co., Ltd., company founded in 1997 at Wuqing Development Area (UDA), Tianjin. During our conversation with Volker, German by birth, but Chinese by heart, who has lived and worked for the past 25 years in China, we discover the success of WAGO and always a positive mindset of its leader in Tianjin.
The key to success is to be always one step ahead of the game in any decision you make. This is one of WAGO main principles and the reason to continuously keep abreast of industry trends.
成功的关键是在做任何决定时始终领先一步。这是万可的主要原则之一，也是万可不断跟上行业趋势的原因。
万可1951年在德国明登(Minden)成立，是电气连接领域的行业领导者，业务遍及全球。如今，万可的综合自动化产品已广泛应用于造纸，纺织，铁路，汽车，造船，石化，楼宇自动化以及所有安全相关的工业领域。
万可在中国有14个分公司及办事处，拥有一千多名员工，并拥有完整的生产，销售和技术支持产业链。
本期，我们专访了万可电子（天津）有限公司总裁彭夫柯先生，该公司成立于1997年，现位于天津武清开发区。在采访中这位德国出生，却在中国生活和工作了25年的有着中国心的领导详细向我们介绍了，万可的成功之道，及其领导者的积极心态。
The Chinese economy is still growing, albeit that growth is slower in some areas, such as the industrial sector. The Chinese economy remains resilient in the face of geopolitical shocks, such as the intensifying trade war. The government is prepared to stimulate the economy, and many enterprises are showing flexibility by planning to relocate their manufacturing plants to avert the tariffs. Despite expectations of slower economic growth in the upcoming quarters, pessimism is not fully warranted yet.
中国经济仍在增长，尽管某些领域的增长放缓。 零售销售，包括在线销售，正在增长，固定投资也在增加，特别是在高科技服务方面。 面对诸如贸易战加剧等地缘政治冲击，中国经济仍然具有弹性。
Last meeting of G20 has reached the decision to give some tile to the trade talk. The decision of the US to ban the collaboration, technology, and services from foreign adversaries is believed to be a warning to all Android phone companies. The challenge rises as Huawei will need to outwit and introduce to the public the alternative solution for the award-winning Google services. There is no press release yet on how Huawei will resolve this Android barrier and hurdles for their future device to appease the Google users. It will mean creating its own App Store that you can find in Huawei phones, as AppGallery. At the moment, global users are waiting for Huawei’s “Plan B.”
谷歌宣布，华为公司仅限于5月19日星期日前访问其Android操作系统的更新。美国政府禁令导致谷歌停止未来为华为的设备提供更新服务，如Chrome浏览器，Gmail，谷歌地图，YouTube和谷歌Play商店等核心应用都将在华为的设备上消失。
Rafael Nadal is a true fighter, and despite the frequent injuries, he was able to pull out stunning victories, which are inspirational to many youngsters and entrepreneurs. Sometimes he took long leave from the circuits, but those vacations he used to garner his strengths to outsmart his opponents. His life is an inspirational story for many business leaders.
你怎么看待这样一个人，曾经世界排名第一的网球运动员，曾17次获得大满贯和80个ATP冠军的惊人记录。虽受到持续的伤痛困扰，但仍努力保持足够的能力和活力。这个人就是拉斐尔•纳达尔。

Business Tianjin OUT! June 2019 Edition

China’s economy looked to have had its growth slow sharply in April, before new US trade war tariffs took effect, with both industrial production and retail sales growth showing significant declines. The big picture is that China’s economy is losing the momentum it gained in the first quarter. China’s stimulus measures may be starting to wear off, and the central government had engaged in multiple rounds of rate cuts for banks, encouraging the flow of lending into the economy.

Whether you are a marketer or just a regular web surfer, video is already part of your life and most likely you will just be having more of it in the future. When we read or hear about video marketing, but the truth is that video is everywhere. For many people around the world, it is not possible to let a day go by without watching a single video and you might start to wonder why is that.

4月份，美国新一轮贸易战关税生效前最后一个月，中国经济出现增长极速放缓势头，工业生产和零售增长都大幅下滑。总体情况是，中国经济正在失去第一季度的增长势头，此时它正在陷入与美国不断加剧的贸易战。增长放缓也可能重新引发是否需要实施更多财政和货币刺激以支撑经济的争论。
当我们阅读或了解视频营销时，我们可能会考虑电视广告或那些巨大的在时代广场展示的视频，但事实上视频无处不在。人们甚至一天最少要观看一个视频，这是为什么呢？是因为图像胜过千言万语吗？还是人们越来越懒，不想读书？还是我们的大脑被媒体“浸泡”太多信息？原因是什么？请关注“市场”栏目。
Michael Hart在中国商业房地产行业工作了20多年，在天津工作了十多年，再次为我们提供了一篇如何解读城市排名的优秀文章。
端午节是为了纪念中国著名学者，爱国诗人屈原而举行的。屈原因为被诬陷而流放国外，他跳进汨罗江结束了自己的生命，楚国人民很爱戴他，人们自发乘船去救他，没有成功。于是人民每年都在汨罗江纪念他。这就是端午节的起源。粽子、雄黄酒、赛龙舟是端午节的三大特色，承袭至今。

Gaining a strong reputation as the fastest-growing IB World School, which is offering unique international and bilingual education for foreign and Chinese students, the Beijing International Bilingual Academy (BIBA) has opened three campuses since its establishment in 2006.
Tianjin Campus is the second campus of BIBA and it is a vibrant international boarding school, which prides on forming students to become internationally-minded bilingual ambassadors and champions of inter-cultural understanding, respect and integration in a dynamic global community. We have the opportunity to interview Joseph J. Azmeh, Executive Head of School, Tianjin Campus of BIBA and feature in our cover story. It was a real pleasure talking to Joseph and learning the noble spirit behind BIBA and his passion as an educator.
We laud BIBA and Tianjin Campus’ excellent facilities, fantastic team of foreign and local teachers & administrative staff and this great opportunity to enrol our kids in this unique international and bilingual learning environment.
From the macro economy point of view, China has witnessed a rebound, as indicated by the recently released numbers. Retail sales, industrial production, fixed asset investments, and trade balance saw positive developments. Some economists believe that the government’s efforts to stimulate the economy are showing some effects. The progress made in the trade talks with United States has contributed to the improvement.
Michael Hart, who has spent more than 20 years in China in the commercial real estate industry and over a decade of that time in Tianjin, provides us with an excellent explanation how to benchmark our Real Estate Cost. Don’t miss it!
