China is the most advanced digital market in the world Digital payment penetration in China is 50 times higher than in the USA, largely still relying on plastic. FMCG online penetration has reached the mid-teens. Big-box retailing in China makes shopping malls and department stores in the USA look like the garden of Eden. Western luxury brands in China are still lagging behind Only 21 of the 34 brands we have analysed operate an e-commerce mono-brand website in China. Even more remarkable is the fact that the largest brands, including LV, Hermès, Gucci, Prada, Ralph Lauren and Swatch, do not have an ecommerce mono-brand website. This compares with almost all the brands (31 out of 32) operating an e-commerce mono-brand website in the USA, and 30 out of 32 in the UK. Digital proficiency in China is 46% – against 55% from our most recent DCM. Western digital luxury still seems where we had left it two years ago. Burberry, Michael Kors and Cartier are the only exceptions Burberry stands out as strong leader on the Strategic Reach axis in China for exploiting all possible ecommerce channels (e-commerce mono-brand, flagship online store on Tmall, online store on WeChat, JD.com, Secoo.com and 5Lux.com) as well as on the Digital Experience Axis excelling in customer service and style advisory. Also Ray-Ban ranks high on the Strategic Reach axis thanks to the capability to engage Chinese customers via Content localization and Social Media presence. Michael Kors and Cartier are close behind Burberry on the Digital Customer Experience axis thanks to personal services and customer service. It is less than ideal that digital luxury is still dominated by local champions This is less than ideal: 1) the amount of grey market products (and outright fakes) still seems very high – western luxury brands have mono-brand websites of which they are not aware; 2) digital can rapidly become very relevant for Chinese consumers, as they are young, tech savvy, and eager to embrace change; and 3) western luxury brands have a fragile digital position, as they have a sketchy presence with their most relevant consumer nationality.

This dissertation may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. ii Supervisory Committee The History and Politics of Taiwan’s February 28 Incident, 1947- 2008 by Yen-Kuang Kuo BA, National Taiwan Univeristy, Taiwan, 1991 BA, University of Victoria, 2007 MA, University of Victoria, 2009 Supervisory Committee Dr. Zhongping Chen, Supervisor Department of History Dr. Gregory Blue, Departmental Member Department of History Dr. John Price, Departmental Member Department of History Dr. Andrew Marton, Outside Member Department of Pacific and Asian Studies iii Abstract Taiwan’s February 28 Incident happened in 1947 as a set of popular protests against the postwar policies of the Nationalist Party, and it then sparked militant actions and political struggles of Taiwanese but ended with military suppression and political persecution by the Nanjing government. The Nationalist Party first defined the Incident as a rebellion by pro-Japanese forces and communist saboteurs. As the enemy of the Nationalist Party in China’s Civil War (1946-1949), the Chinese Communist Party initially interpreted the Incident as a Taiwanese fight for political autonomy in the party’s wartime propaganda, and then reinterpreted the event as an anti-Nationalist uprising under its own leadership.

  • Cultural Governance in Contemporary China: Popular Culture, Digital Technology, and the State
    ! ! ! ! CULTURAL GOVERNANCE IN CONTEMPORARY CHINA: POPULAR CULTURE, DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY, AND THE STATE BY LUZHOU LI DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Communications and Media in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2015 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Emeritus John Nerone, Chair Assistant Professor Amanda Ciafone Professor Emeritus Dan Schiller Professor Kent Ono, University of Utah ii ABSTRACT This dissertation is a study of the historical formation and transformation of the Chinese online audiovisual industry under forces of strategic political calculations, expanding market relations, and growing social participation, and the cultural ramifications of this process, especially the kind of transformations digital technologies have wrought on the state-TV-station-centered mode of cultural production/distribution and regulatory apparatuses. Through this case, the project aims to theorize the changing mode of cultural governance of post-socialist regimes in the context of digital capitalism. Using mixed methods of documentary research, interviews with industry practitioners, participant observations of trade fairs/festivals, and critical discourse analyses of popular cultural texts, the study finds that the traditional broadcasting and the online video sectors are structured along two different political economic mechanisms. While the former is dominated by domestic capital and heavily regulated by state agencies, the latter is supported by transnational capital and less regulated. Digital technologies coupled with transnational capital thus generate new cultural flows, processes, and practices, which produces a heterogeneous and contested cultural sphere in the digital environment that substantially differs from the one created by traditional television.

  • What's Powering China's Market for Luxury Goods?
    What’s Powering China’s Market for Luxury Goods? Sales are growing at a healthy 20% rate, but not all brands are celebrating. This report was authored by Bruno Lannes, a Bain & Company partner based in Shanghai and a member of the firm’s Retail and Consumer Products practices. Copyright © 2019 Bain & Company, Inc. All rights reserved. What’s Powering China’s Market for Luxury Goods? At a Glance It was the second year in a row of 20% growth for luxury goods in China. Brands benefited from repatriated purchases, a focus on millennials, increased digitalization and China’s expanding middle class. Although growth was robust overall, some companies outperformed with growth rates in excess of 25%, while others lagged with less than 10% growth. The winners’ strategies offer clear lessons for the future. China’s luxury goods market is humming along nicely, with a second straight year of 20% growth in 2018 (see Figure 1). Think of it as a powerful machine running on four engines operating in perfect alignment. More than 70% of millennials have a positive financial outlook; 81% of them expect their income to increase. Engine 1: Repatriation The Chinese government’s reduction in import duties and stricter controls over gray markets— combined with brands’ efforts to narrow the price gap with overseas markets—have led more Chi- nese consumers to make their luxury purchases in China, instead of traveling to previous bargain locales such as Hong Kong, Seoul, Tokyo and cities in Europe. Chinese consumers made 27% of their luxury purchases in China in 2018, up from 23% in 2015, and we anticipate that this share will increase to 50% by 2025 (see Figure 2).
