Welcome to the new blog China Supertrends, a Chinese trend and business news website that focuses on the many exciting developments in the PRC.  

In particular, the manufacturing industry, service industry, and environmental industry will be common topics, but also what we call the supertrends, the major forces shaping the future of business in China: Value-adding and Innovating, Urbanizing and Servicing, Consuming and Aspiring, Inter-networking and e-Commercializing, and Affluencing and Greening.  The supertrends cross industry boundaries and are not just forces in business but also influence Chinese society and culture as well.

Your hosts are Jason Inch and James Yuann, co-authors of the upcoming book Supertrends of Future China, to be pulished in the summer of 2008, available now for pre-order.

We welcome any comments, questions and suggestions on topics related to business in China.
