  • China's New Electric Vehicle Market
    China‘s New Electric Vehicle Market Perspective and Future Outlook A A GinkgoGinkgo ManagementManagement ConsultingConsulting White Publication Paper 20142019 HAMBURG | SHANGHAI | SINGAPORE | ZURICH www.ginkgo.com 1 Introduction China’s automotive industry has reached a turning point. Vehicle sales volumes are stagnating and the overall automotive market has left the enormous growth path of the last decade. Notably, the structure of the market is changing as well and dynamically shifting towards new electric vehicles (NEVs). It is common knowledge that most Chinese OEMs have shifted their competitive focus from combustion engines to NEVs -with the clear and realistic expectation that this will be the competitive battlefield in China but also globally in future. In international comparison China has been the biggest market of NEVs for several years. This is based on a number of reasons but dominantly severe air pollution issues have forced governments and administrations to take action. Consequently, a number of subsidies have been implemented to promote NEVs and other favorable regulations were put in place to promote adaptation of NEVs (e.g. exemption from license plate lotteries). Ginkgo has been consulting clients in the automotive industry for more than 12 years and in the Chinese automotive industry since 2008. Therefore, we would like to share our first hand perspective and future outlook of the NEV market in China in this white paper. Lars Godzik Founding Partner, Ginkgo Management Consulting 2 www.ginkgo.com China’s New Electric Vehicle market outlook To understand the Chinese NEV market it is important Additionally, with the continuous government to know that there are five basic classifications of subsidy favorable for long range NEVs (over 400km) NEVs: originating from the “notice on adjusting and improving the promotion and application of financial subsidy policies for new energy vehicles” and the 1 Battery electric vehicle (BEV) setup of more and more public charging stations, the market has a huge potential.

  • Zhang Ziyi and China's Celebrity–Philanthropy Scandals
    Zhang Ziyi and China’s Celebrity–Philanthropy Scandals Elaine Jeffreys, University of Technology Sydney Zhang Ziyi is arguably China’s most famous female celebrity, being ranked after basketball player, Yao Ming, at number two on Forbes’s (mainland) China Celebrity List in 2009 and 2010 (‘2010 Forbes China Celebrity List’ 2010).1 Forbes issued its inaugural list of China’s top 100 power-ranking celebrities in 2004, demonstrating the growing importance of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in global cultural markets. As with the US list, China’s celebrities are ranked by combining income from salaries and endorsements with the number of times they appear in various media formats (Jeffreys & Edwards 2010: 2). Zhang Ziyi rose to international fame via her starring role in Ang Lee’s martial arts movie, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000). A global cinematic phenomenon in 2000 and 2001, Crouching Tiger earned more than US$200 million worldwide, becoming the most commercially successful foreign-language film in US history and the first Chinese-language film to find a broad American audience (Klein 2004: 18). Since then, Zhang has gone on to enjoy critical acclaim for her starring roles in Hollywood films, such as Memoirs of a Geisha (dir. Rob Marshall 2005), and in Chinese-language blockbusters, such as Hero (dir. Zhang Yimou 2002) and House of Flying Daggers (dir. Zhang Yimou 2004). Voted as one of the ‘most beautiful people in the world’ by many fashion and celebrity magazines, she has appeared as the ‘face’ of 1 Forbes extended its China list in 2010 to include celebrities from Taiwan and Hong Kong, as well as mainland China.

  • The Dissemination and Localization of Anime in China: Case Study on the Chinese Mobile Video Game Onmyoji
    The dissemination and localization of anime in China: Case study on the Chinese mobile video game Onmyoji Wuqian Qian The Department of Asian, Middle Eastern and Turkish Studies Master Program in Asian Studies, 120 hp Autumn term 2016 Supervisor: Jaqueline Berndt English title: Professor Abstract In the 2017 Chinese Gaming Industry Report, a new type of video games called 二次 元 game is noted as a growing force in the game industry. Onmyoji is one of those games produced by Netease and highly popular with over 200 million registered players in China alone. 二次元 games are characterized by Japanese-language dubbing and anime style in character design. However, Onmyoji uses also Japanese folklore, which raises two questions: one is why Netease chose to make such a 二次元 game, the other why a Chinese game using Japanese folklore is so popular among Chinese players. The attractiveness of an exotic culture may help to explain the latter, but it does not work for the first. Thus, this thesis implements a media studies perspective in order to substantiate its hypothesis that it is the dissemination of anime in China that has made Onmyoji possible and successful.
