Business Tianjin OUT! November 2018 Edition
Written by Helen Wednesday, 31 October 2018 13:16
China and the US seem to be locked in a trade war that is not likely to end well if it continues on the same path. It is growing into lose-lose situation gradually, with the entire effects not being felt as yet. America stands to lose more with increasing retaliation against its tariffs, and it is bound to become increasingly isolated. Effects of the trade war have yet to be entirely felt for the reason that many investors plan their investments one year in advance, and it takes time to steer away and change direction. But once the effects start to kick in, it can be too costly for the entire global economy. You can get more information about this issue in our Feature Story.
This month we interact with Paris Luo, a polo enthusiast whose dream is to promote women’s polo in China. She is a pioneer of women polo elite education in the Middle Kingdom. She founded the 1003 Polo, and chaired the establishment of 1003 Rose Polo School. Her story took place in the outskirts of Tianjin, particularly the exclusive Goldin Metropolitan Polo Club which is regarded as being the largest polo facility in China. Increasingly, wealthy parents now prefer that their childrenshould take on polo and other equestrian sports. Read this cover story to know more details about the plan to popularize this exclusive sport among Elite Women of Tianjin.
In our Dialogue section we have interacted with the best Chinese specialist in global exchange to know a bit more about a major advancement to encourage worldwide exchange and venture, Hainan Free Trade Zone. It is an important milestone in the market open policy that the Chinese government is promoting over the recent months to become the main engine of stable development of the Global Economy.
There are many other interesting articles this month, and I invite you to read them all after having checked our content page. We are sure you will find topics that will help you in your professional and personal life.

Business Tianjin OUT! October 2018 Edition

If you look at the International School of Tianjin (IST) from the sky, you may notice something different. 380 solar panels lie soaking up the last of the summer sun in a brilliant attempt to reduce IST’s environmental footprint. Business Tianjin was lucky enough to interact with the Director of IST, Mr. Steve Moody, about how this bright idea came about and who the masterminds behind it were. You can be part of this Green Team story, which represents a unique opportunity to invest in the future of our children.
We were impressed not only at how the students themselves care enough about sustainability and the environment to initiate the Green Team Solar Panel Project, but also the encouragement provided by the board and staff members in allowing these students to voice their ideas. It truly is inspirational.
Having recently been appointed General Manager of All-legend Hotel Business Division, Tiens Group, Mr. Huang is on a mission to bring his extensive experience gained in both the West and in China to successfully undertake its re-launch. John Huang has shared with us his ambitious plans to bring one of the only resorts providing hot springs that was previously tucked away in Wuqing District in Tianjin, into limelight.
Individual Income Tax reform has attracted high level of attention from people and the extent of its impact is large. You can finally learn about this important reform in the section of Tax & Finance in collaboration with PwC.
President Trump’s policies are proving to be ineffective thus far. His tariffs failed to stem the growing Chinese surplus with the US. Producer price index and China’s trade surplus with the world also decreased. Growth abroad and in the domestic market is softening. Many sectors are slowing down to touch their lowest levels in many years, which may be a cause of worry. Economists believe that weakness in the Chinese economy could render it more vulnerable to the trade spat. Hopefully, measures by the government will turn things back in the right direction.

黄先生最近被任命为天狮集团奥蓝际德酒店事业部总经理，他的使命是在西方和中国积累丰富的经验，成功重新开幕酒店。

Tianjin Arcadia Court is one of the preferable places for expats to live in Tianjin. Its environment matches the needs of any person who would like to live in Tianjin temporarily or for the long term. We have a lot of friends living there and also in the nearby Shangri-La Hotel. Together with Riverview Place shopping mall, this locale is a perfect place to find anything you need to make your lovely family feel totally comfortable in the city.
We have visited Tianjin Arcadia Court and experienced the warmth and comfort of arriving via the lush private driveways of the apartments. They still have few big two to three bedroom units, with many layouts that are available to cater to different household needs. Embracing Tianjin’s cityscape and the city rhythm is an unprecedented enjoyment that ensues while living at the Tianjin Arcadia Court.
In this month’s Real Estate column we have published a recent research done by the JLL Tianjin Research team of retail malls in Tianjin. This year a few trends have started to emerge or solidify. The first piece of good news is that the air will start to clear, or at least construction dust is less likely to be coming from retail projects. The story about retail over the next five years won’t be about the new mall, but rather the best managed one that attracts shoppers regardless of location.
Micro-influencers are people with a deeply engaged niche audience between 1,000 and 10,000 followers, and produce highly accurate content. Nowadays, 92% of people do not trust traditional ads, as they clearly prefer word-of-mouth recommendations from friends and family. Check our Marketing section to get details and reasons as to why Business Tianjin Media Platform has a great Micro-Influencer network, and how it could help you in your promotion needs.
IIT reform has attracted high level of attention from people and also the extent of its impact is large. You can learn more about this important reform under the section Tax & Finance in collaboration with PwC.

China’s economic performance indicators have been mixed in the recent months, but they show that the pressures are mounting on the economy. Despite trade war tensions and the pressures, China is likely to achieve commendable growth this year. This is due to astute regulations and economic policy. In the grand scheme of things, the trade war may prove to be a small blow to a rising dragon.

Tianjin has a very active and trendy hospitality industry, offering a large number of rooms in town to host multiple events, conferences, activities and also meet the growing tourism needs of the municipality.
The city is moving from a pure industry sector engine to a more focused service sector based on tourism, hospitality, finance and organization of events. Of course, this transition will be faster if the possibility of organizing public events is more flexible and less controlled by authorities, but as you know very well, in China it is safety first.
One good example of increasing number of variety offers in the hospitality sector is the new opening of Fraser Place Binhai, Tianjin. We have had the opportunity to visit this new serviced apartment, and to interview their global CEO, Mr. Choe Peng Sum, and the General Manager of Fraser Place Tianjin, Ms. Theresa Liu.
Choe charted the impressive growth of the company from its inception in 1996 with two properties and 400 keys in Singapore, to currently owning and managing 140 properties across 77 cities globally with a total of over 22,500 keys.
We also chat this month with the CTO of a very interesting business model in China, combining the technology leadership of Rockwell Collins, and the local market and influencing giant, Haite group that create Accel Flight Simulation. The intention is to provide the world with best simulators at a more affordable price and Asian approach to customers, under the advantages of being located in the high-tech corridor that is the Tianjin Economic Airport Area. You will find very interesting the interview with Eduardo Bernal Garcia, a talented person that successfully adapts his life to live in China with his family.
There are many other interesting articles this month, and I invite you to read after having checked our content page. We are sure you will find topics that will help you in your professional and personal life during your stay in Tianjin.
