BY ZOEY ZHA

Four years ago, China’s most celebrated ice skating pair, Zhao Hongbo and Shen Xue, captured the country’s first-ever Olympic skating gold. Despite retiring shortly after, they remain ambassadors to the sport, appearing in an ice skating extravaganza. Now on its fourth annual tour, Artistry on Ice returns to Guangzhou at the Guangzhou International Sports Arena on August 1 – a cool alternative to the summer heat.

BY ANDREW CHIN

As the great philosopher Jay-Z is fond of saying, “Men lie, women lie, numbers don’t.” While art is subjective, sales aren’t. As China’s contemporary art matures, many of its leading artists are raking in that filthy lucre. The Hurun Art List recently released their roster of best- selling Chinese artists alive today based on last year’s sales. Here’s an introduction to the top six who are furthering their country’s art while raking it in. Kerching! Zeng Fanzhi Fan Zeng SALES: US$82.7 million

The archipelago’s political stability and favorable time zone are also promoted to Chinese businesspeople looking to penetrate markets in nearby east Africa. Having established its embassy seven years ago, the Seychelles is one of a host of micro-nations setting up in Beijing in search of free-spending holidaymakers and direct investment. With China's growing economic weight, disposable income and willingness to engage internationally, its ability to radically transform the fortunes of small countries has seen many governments re-orientate their diplomatic endeavors away from traditional bases in the West. But with so few resources available to them, and so little political capital to bank on, these lonely diplomats face a struggle against limited budgets as they scrap for crumbs from the giant's table. Consisting of just two or three representatives (alongside a small Chinese staff), and often responsible for a swathe of east and southeast Asian countries also within their jurisdictions, these micro-embassies stretch their focus across areas that larger nations dedicate entire departments to.
