BT 201911 340X458 The world's smart luxury travelers have a new destination and reason to stay in Tianjin. In the Heart of the city, a new state-of-the-art hotel has opened in the vibrant Nankai District. The building design is inspired by the city's historical and cultural landmarks, with stately hotel rooms, European courtyards and stunning interiors that showcase a blend of modern chic and Art Deco.

Conrad Tianjin offers exceptional dining experiences in its four outlets, but also has the third-largest meeting space amongst the city’s hotels. You can feel relaxed and inspired throughout your stay in Conrad Tianjin, and we have the honour to interact in this issue of Business Tianjin with its General Manager, Mr. Fredrik Genberg and learn more about this luxury retreat for all global travelers.

From the economy point of view, it seems that large businesses are facing struggles, perhaps in their international operations, whereas small and medium businesses seem to be growing. The growth of SMEs is usually good, as it generates job opportunities and increases social security.

Optimism was in the air, but not for long. Trade talks seemed to pave the way for good news, but results were lacklustre. Some indicators are pointing in a promising direction, but not all. It seemed that recent positive developments were simply short-term bouts of positive sentiment, and they did not indicate a long-term change in trend and reversal of the ongoing slowdown.

There is reason for optimism, however, which is that both parties, the US and China, benefit from a potential trade agreement. This pressure could possibly lead to an agreement in the last minute, before time runs out.

关于贸易战的谈判似乎带来了一些积极的因素，但近期的一些经济指标却并未显示长期的好转趋势以及经济下滑的戛然而止。

关于贸易战的担忧仍挥之不去。但我们仍有理由保持乐观，因为中美双方均受益于一项潜在的贸易协定，可能会在最后时刻达成协定。
