Chinese Magazines
Many were surprised to see China loosening the locks on its gates in the dawn of a new economical era, and for many it has been a profitable experience ever since. Whether you’re a Chinese national working abroad or a Brit considering a venture across the ocean, these periodicals should be of interest to you, as they reveal various aspects of Chinese daily life and culture, as well as keeping you up to date with all significant events.
Although the level of technology which allows people to access a huge amount of information about any region of the world has been available for a long time, some countries were and still are more reserved regarding the details they expose to their foreign counterparts. The most distant parts of Asia are still a mystery to the western world in a multitude of ways, and if one certainly makes sure to know the law before going over there, customs and traditions are a whole different story. There are many rumours going about with regards to the daily existence of Chinese people, and if the only way to verify them is in person, there is an open window offering a view to China’s transformation from a completely closed-off communist country to a modern and more permissive one.
Whatever your connection to China, economical matters will most likely be an aspect you want to keep an eye on, and there are quite a few magazines covering the various now blooming sectors of this far-eastern country. Far from being limited to what westerners tend to imagine (in the lines of unqualified labour being exploited for the manufacturing of low-quality items to be sold at derisory prices abroad), China’s production of state-of-the-art electric appliances for instance is thriving. Moreover, the Chinese are slowly taking over the leading position in that specific part of Asia, as Japan, the market leader for many years, was badly affected by the recession. So you can read about all the top-quality brands which will soon dissociate the words “made in China” from their dodgy connotation.
And if you’re interested in sports and China’s recent accomplishments in a large pallet of international competitions, you surely won’t lack source of information, as their political motto is to emphasize and promote all achievements in order to build up a positive image. You’ll therefore find spectacular photographs in any of its tourist guides, to help you opt for a particular region to visit. And one of the country’s trademarks is the daintiness of Chinese women, which is why so many have made it onto the world’s most prestigious catwalks and have posed for fashion publications, as China releases its own version of a number of women’s glossy magazines.
Last but not least, if you’re planning a trip over there, you might want to take some time to explore their cuisine beforehand, and memorise what appeals to you but also what doesn’t, as you probably wouldn’t like to be told you had certain meats for supper that would not be allowed for human consumption in Europe.
