Our cover story this month wishes to enable you to feel at home with Jens Corder, General Manager of Shangri-La Hotel, Tianjin. Interacting with Jens was a great pleasure, not only for sharing with us his long experience in the hospitality industry worldwide, especially in China, but also for the unique river view that we enjoyed from the Horizon Club located at the top floor of the hotel. We really understood the meaning when he mentioned that "customer's level of comfort is the highest priority".
Richard Robinson was one of the first foreigners to come to China to work in the Internet sector and we have had the great opportunity to have a dialogue with him and talk about entrepreneurship and startups. All big startups that he invested into failed. But, as he says, there is no failure - only feedback.
The feature story is based on introducing China's Strategic Economic Partnerships. As China rises, strategic economic partnerships have become a prominent instrument for establishing a prosperous environment for its growing economy. Don't miss this overview of the most important partnerships between China and other regions.
If you want to do the right thing and not only do things right, you should read the HR column about the importance of leadership at workplace.
Our analyst explains in the economy section that China's macro-economic picture appeared better than expected for the month of March with trade data coming in slightly higher in conjunction with President Trump softening his tone against the world's second largest economy.
An introduction of the best wireless routers of the market and cross-media marketing as an integrated strategy of communication using multiple platforms are two articles that I would also like to highlight this month.
