From the early 80s to recently, China has gone through tremendous transformation: from international stranger to international player to international leader. I was informed that 15 to 20 years ago, the Pudong New Area (which is now the most advanced area in Shanghai) was nothing but farm land. Please look at the following pictures to judge for yourself what kind of development China has undergone.

Pudong New Area

When more Chinese people are no longer worried about putting food on their tables, they turn their attention to something else. They want to eat better food (really no joke, the world was worried about shortage of animal feeds because the Chinese people are now richer and could afford to consume more protein, i.e. pork, beef, etc). Not only the Chinese now want to eat better, they also want to do something that has “standard” which could elevate their social standing.

Our firm will be organizing annual dinner next week. Since no one in our firm knows ballroom dancing, the firm has specially engaged external dance instructor to teach us how to waltz. Really no joke. After working hour, we stayed back to learn about ballroom dancing.


Still think China is an outdated country? Think again. China is really catching up.
