Brands are making lots of efforts for Qixi, with mixed results. Dolce & Gabbana, a company that was already on thin ice with Chinese consumers due to prior missteps, debuted what it called an exclusive Qixi collection, but the products are available globally and have no actual connection to Qixi beyond the way they were marketed. Exclusive, Qixi- themed collections are something Chinese consumers expect, and failing to offer that, especially with misleading marketing, led to immediate scorn on Chinese social media apps like WeChat and Weibo. Balenciaga also made a misstep with a campaign for a Qixi-themed bag. It was widely mocked on Weibo for its bizarre visual style and poor production quality. Some users negatively compared it to the slick campaigns the brand runs in Europe, calling the campaign insulting and misguided.

The market is expected to hit ¥120 billion ($17.5 billion) in China by 2022. 22% of consumers spend more than ¥1,000 ($146) a year on food replacements - more than 60% of them take meal replacements at least once a week, and some 20% do so once a day. Global brands have taken the lion's share of the Chinese market. About 50% of consumers in China bought "healthy eating products" over the past year, with those born in the 1990s showing increased awareness of this market. Consumers' increased health awareness, along with a range of demands, including weight loss, muscle enhancement, eating healthily and looking young, have fast-tracked this market.

Introduction I.1.The motivation of the study In recent years, Chinese hip hop music has been obviously thriving and flourishing. They have invaded the music industry in Taiwan successfully. More and more rappers emerged, and released their own compositions. These phenomena intensified after a TV program, named “The Rap of China,” was broadcast. What’s more, many Chinese singers now start to add an episode of hip hop music into their songs, which reforms styles of Chinese mainstream music. From the points mentioned above, it can be seen that Chinese hip hop music has gone viral in Taiwan. As members of this new generation, we are also influenced by Chinese hip hop music wave naturally and caught in this fad. This wave, resembling an enormous hurricane, has made a tremendous impact on the young men in Taiwan. Therefore, we are eager to figure out the reason for its and the effects of “the Rap of China” on the development of Chinese hip hop music. I.2. Research questions With the full consideration, a survey was conducted. The following three research questions were generated to explore the reasons for the popularity of Chinese hip hop music in Taiwan and the effects of “the Rap of China” on the development of the music genre.

  • What Is Real? What Is Fake? Transitional Chinese Hip-Hop Culture and the War of Authenticity an Essay Presented by Alexander
    What Is Real? What Is Fake? Transitional Chinese Hip-Hop Culture and the War of Authenticity An essay presented by Alexander Zirui Zhang to The Committee on Degrees in Social Studies and The Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a degree with honors of Bachelor of Arts Harvard College March 2020 2 Acknowledgements Aside from the millions of Chinese youth to whom I dedicate this project, I would like to acknowledge several people who have helped me reach this point in my academic journey. They have held up half the sky, if not more. To start off, I would like to thank Professor Jie Li and Shuang Frost for supervising my thesis. I am endlessly grateful for their unconditional faith despite challenging circumstances and for their constant encouragement to approach my project with a critical mind. I have grown incredibly under their guidance. I would also like to thank the faculty and staff of the Committee on Degrees in Social Studies and the Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations for enabling my intellectual pursuits. I have been especially touched by the efforts of my academic advisor Dr. Nicole Newendorp and Director of Studies in Social Studies Dr. Anya Bassett, who both went above and beyond to treat me as not Just a worthy student, but a worthy human. I would also like to extend my appreciation to Professor Susan Pharr, Professor Marcyliena Morgan, Dr. Kiku Adatto, and College Fellow Veronika Kusumaryati for teaching courses and supervising research papers that have since formed the backbone of my thesis, as well as my friends at 88rising – especially Kate – and RADII for providing key support in my fieldwork.

'Keeping it Real' or Keeping it Realist? Hip Hop in International Relations https://www.e-ir.info/2021/04/11/keeping-it-real-or-keeping-it-realist-hip-hop-in-international-relations/ SOLOMON PACE-MCCARRICK, APR 11 2021 Hip hop places a particular emphasis on marginalised groups and ‘keeping it real’- a popular phrase in the hip hop community reflecting the importance of behaving and sharing messages consistent with ones’ personal experience.[1] This, in addition to its spectacular spread globally and malleability in being able to take on localised meanings and sounds, makes it difficult to square with existing understandings of music in IR which conceptualise the role of sound in terms of top-down forces and domination by institutional, national and commercial interests. At a wider level, studies of IR tend to neglect the role of individual agency in favour of explanations resting on global power relations and structural forces.[2] As such, a qualitative study of hip hop’s emergence and spread around the globe, tracing particular musical motifs and artists’ careers is advanced to assess to what extent the genre serves to challenge these existing understandings in IR. Thus, hip hop is positioned as possible study material in IR to explore the role of lived experience and individual agency beneath the visible flows of power that are already so well recognised in the discipline- in effect, this discussion balances the importance of ‘keeping it real’ against ‘keeping it realist’ in studies of IR.
