Bad news for Indonesia Tourism


"The capabilities of the military...in securing our seas should be improved, whether it's technology or general preparedness," Widodo said, according to a presidential palace statement.
A Chinese fishing boat was attacked last Friday while fishing in waters of Natuna a 272-island archipelago off the northwest coast of Borneo in the South China Sea islands. The island archipelago has about 70,000 residents and is administered by Indonesia.


On Sunday, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying Chinese described the incident as such, "While normally operates in traditional fishing areas in southwest China South China Sea on June 17, the Chinese fishing boats were harassed and they fired several navy ships Indonesia. a Chinese fishing boat was damaged and injured member of the crew shot, while another fishing boat and the seven people on board were arrested by the Indonesian side. "

Indonesia Refuses to Bow to China in the South China Sea


Indonesia's president held a cabinet meeting aboard a warship off the Natuna Islands on Thursday, asserting sovereignty over waters in the southern reaches of the South China Sea after Beijing stated its "over-lapping claim" on nearby waters. As a result of the incident, Beijing lodged a strong protest to Jakarta through diplomatic channels, claiming that Indonesian "international laws violated including the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China sea (DOC). China strongly protests and condemns the excessive use of force. China calls on the Indonesian side to stop taking actions that complicate, exaggerate the difference and undermine peace and stability, and handling the issue of fishing in the sea in a constructive way. "



The New York Times reported that Chinese nationalists are outraged by the use of force by the Indonesian side. A user wrote via Weibo (microblogging platform similar to Twitter in China) "You call yourself a great and mighty nation, but how is that a small country like Indonesia dare slap in the face?" In the same Times article, another Weibo user reportedly wrote, "Where is the hard-line faction in the army? It's your turn to make an appearance now."


However, the issue of fishing is not as simple as the nationalists would like to believe. While Beijing claims 90 percent of the South Sea China, with its self-proclaimed "nine-dash-line" or "cow tongue", Beijing recognized in 2015 claiming Jakarta chain Natuna islands, stating that "the Chinese side has no objection to the sovereignty of Indonesia over the Natuna Islands." While the islands are outside the "line of nine script", but also create an exclusive economic zone of 200 miles, or EEZ which excels in waters claimed by Beijing.

Beijing, however, is a signatory to the Convention and under the Convention, the islands whose population is entitled to an EEZ of 200 miles, which gives Indonesia and its exclusive rights fishermen fishery resources in that area. Moreover, the concept of "traditional fishing", presented by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, is not recognized in the Convention.

Chinese outbound tourism Market for indonesia

This last argument is the third since March, when a Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Affairs of Indonesia patrol vessel intercepted a Chinese fishing boat of 300 tons approximately four kilometers from the Natuna islands chain within the territorial limits of Indonesia indisputable. In that incident, the Indonesian patrol boat fired warning shots of small arms in the Chinese fishing boat, forcing them to stop and the Chinese fishermen were transferred to the Indonesian patrol ship. A Chinese coast guard ship then arrived on the scene, repeatedly ramming the Chinese fishing boat until it was free and then retrieve the fishing boat.


At that time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China also made the argument that the incident occurred within the traditional fishing areas of China and the Chinese coast guard vessel assisted by the Chinese fishing boat seized without going Waters-territorial Indonesia despite It is only four kilometers away from an island of Indonesia. In addition, by using its own coastguard boat as a battering ram,

Why outbound Chinese real estate is booming !



Chinese citizens became the largest foreign buyers of homes in the United States last year as they poured more than $ 150 million in real estate over the past five years, a new study has found.


 Key points:

  • Canadians have been relegated to the second to the Chinese purchases of US homes Surge has helped the housing market recover from the economic crisis of 2008 Chinese buyers pay an average of more than $ 1 million home
  • And despite a slowdown due to the repression of Beijing on capital outflows, is likely to double that in the second half of this decade, the study of the Asia Society and Rosen Consulting Group.

Chinese Real Estate Buyers 

The huge increase in Chinese buying both residential and commercial real estate has helped the housing market recovers from the crisis that began in 2006 and the economic crisis of 2008 was precipitated.
"What makes it different from China and noteworthy is the combination of the high volume of investment (and) the extent of their participation in all categories of real estate," including a "unique entry into home purchases" said the study.

The study authors said their numbers, based on industry data real public estate and underestimates the total, as misses purchases made by front companies and trusts that does not identify the source of the funds.
According to the study, Chinese purchases of US households far exceeded its investment in commercial buildings and land.

$ 23 million in the commercial property market,

Between 2010 and 2015, Chinese buyers put more than $ 23 million in the commercial property market, with the latter half of last year alone.
However, during the same period, at least $ 127 million was allocated to households in the United States, and in the 12 months to March 2015 - the latest period for which they could obtain data relatively complete - purchase housing amounted to $ 39 million. That put Canadians last Chinese, who have long been the biggest foreign buyers of US residential real estate.


Geographically, Chinese buyers are concentrated in the most expensive markets: New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle, but Chicago, Miami and Las Vegas have also been drawn buyers.

The Chinese travellers are strongly influenced by their social circle



Social media is increasingly fragmented with new emerging platforms


Many people focus on the current Chinese networks, the most dominant social but what I feel is a strict control. New forms of expression are constantly emerging and development in this fast paced, constantly changing market. There is a huge demand for social networks and little foreign competition, which creates space for a multitude of digital home platforms develop. The Chinese government also provides grants and incentives for creative new technology start-ups is encouraging the creation of new platforms. With an increasing number of people of all ages and backgrounds by using social media, it is likely to be a demand for "new" spaces where users can communicate and share content in a different way.

Two examples are (a similar photo application Instagram) 'Nice' and 'Meipai' (a similar application on Vine video). Brands such as Ray Ban and Bulgari have already begun to launch campaigns on these platforms. Neither has yet acquired a dominant position, but it is expected that the fragmentation of the landscape of networking through these types of networks 'alternative' will continue.

Top tips for Western brands looking to market themselves on social networks in China

Content is king on Wechat 


Create interesting, shareable content in Mandarin that will appeal to the Chinese. Often the content is produced in a cartoon, the almost childlike style, cartoon animals, for example, are very popular. Be active on social media. Really engage with consumers directly, people enjoy direct communication and are more likely to share your brand within their network.

Use the 'Key Opinion Leader "or KOL. The recruitment of these figures in the name of a brand can be a very effective way to distribute content. Find specialized partners in China. They have extensive knowledge of the market and the links and local resources you need to use.

WeChat: WeChat is the Chinese Internet giant Tencent social network Lighthouse, it began as an instant messaging application before morphing into a truly integrated social network platform. Users can communicate via instant messaging, sending a written text, audio or video clips to another. It is a very user friendly platform acts as a purse (it is related to Alipay), the platform game (Chinese regularly play group games), taxi ordering service (Didi Kaudu similar Uber, is directly related to WeChat) and it also has a video call option that is much more effective than skype.

Companies can create official accounts and should attract followers to subscribe. This is vital as more closed network, users can not see the messages or comments by those they are connected. The goal of any brand is to disseminate their content to a user's network. Users post times (similar to an update) and often share content as part of this. Generating a favorable reputation is achieved by actively engaging with users and subscribers.



Baidu Tieba: This is part of the Chinese search engine Baidu 'prevailing over 70% of its own market. Tieba is a forum for topics that are searchable by different categories of subjects. Content becomes more prolific it gains visibility based on the ranking of the Tieba community (much like Reddit). For a brand, the objective is to produce interesting content that the community is very rank, the brand needs to attract quite a following classification of their high content in order that it appears on top of the Tieba community.

Qzone: A social networking site created by Tencent in 2005. It is largely an instant messaging platform, but users join groups to discuss specific topics. These groups can be directly targeted because they tend to be on niche topics.

The Chinese are strongly influenced by their immediate social circle


The numerical solution can be extraordinarily effective for western brands here because the Chinese are turning to social media for more information. The Chinese are wary of more traditional media sources, but place great confidence in their social circle. Content shared between a user's network has a strong sense of legitimacy in the eyes of the Chinese consumer. That is why it is important for Western brands to operate on these platforms, people greatly appreciate the direct communication here. Create promotions and offer discounts that are exclusively provided for WeChat and Weibo followers, but ensure that the promotion includes friends and family, that they also are likely to follow your account

Social Media in China : Interview of the New zealand Country manager

 Check a this interview

About New Zealand and China ! 

New Zealand is famous for its landscape, and among the tourist attractions of the country are two glaciers that are both surprising and unusual because they snake down the mountain in a temperate rainforest, which makes them easy to people to walk up to the view. But Fox and Franz Josef glaciers melted at a pace as it has become too dangerous for tourists hiking on them from the bottom of the valley, ending a tradition that goes back a century. With the persistence of warm weather this year, there are no signs of a recovery, and scientists say it is another example of how climate change has an impact on the environment.

New Zealand travel industry is booming 

The Tourism industry in New Zealand is booming and nearly 1 million people last year flocked to get a glimpse of glaciers and spectacular valleys they carved. But the only way to set foot on them now is to fly them by helicopter
Tour operators offer flights and glaciers guided walks, although the logistics limit per year to 80,000 tourists, half the number that once raised from the valley floor. Until another 150,000 people each year take scenic flights landing briefly above glaciers. "It is the uniqueness, the rawness of the environment", which attracts tourists from Australia, North America, Europe and, increasingly, China, said Rob Jewell, president of Country Tourism Group Glacier. Flying in the field Unesco world heritage comes with its own risks, highlighted in November when a tourist helicopter crashed on the Fox Glacier, killing all seven on board. Sitting near the base of the Franz Josef glacier, Wayne Costello, director of district operations for the Department of Conservation, said that when he arrived there eight years, the rock was perched on were buried under tons of ice. Instead, the glacier is now coming to an end at 800 meters above the valley.

Chinese Consumers! 

Consumers in China fueled a boom travel and tourism last year, despite the country's economic slowdown. Chinese tourists spent $ 215bn outside of mainland China in 2015, according to figures released Monday by the World Travel & Tourism Council, an increase of 53 percent from the $ 140 billion spent in 2014.
However in China, the surge in the number and amazing spending power of middel kindsdom outbound tourists is not lifting "all boats".
The global Tourism Bureau requires investment quality. Please share this article with others using the link below, do not cut and paste the article. See our Ts & Cs and Copyright Policy for more details. While Chinese outbound tourism has experienced strong growth in recent years, the figures represent a strong acceleration as the first graph. "[China] outbound tourism is growing like crazy," said David Scowsill, President and CEO of WTTC. "There were significant shocks last year in the stock market and the currency, but it did not slow the growth of travel and tourism. Once people started to travel, they are reluctant to give up this. " However, the surge in outbound Chinese tourism has expanded the country's trade deficit in the sector. The number of foreign tourists visiting China increased slightly to 56.9m in 2015, an increase of only 2.2 percent in two years, according to the World Organization of United Nations Tourism.

The CRAMPE Method 

source
The "CRAMPE method to learn Chinese" was launched a few months ago by Cédric Beau. This is a novel method for easily and quickly learn Chinese online. Eric teaches Mandarin Chinese with this method and has agreed to meet the information China issues.

Hi Eric! To start, could you introduce yourself? Hello, my name is Eric Sanson, I am 47, I am an electronic engineer. I am also caver in my spare time and I often go on exploration in France or abroad. China is a wonderful country for caving, I went many times to the exploration and also training to caving for the Chinese. Before starting CRAMPE method, were you the concepts of Mandarin Chinese? I had very few notions aside some oral vocabulary. In fact I have a goldfish memory I have always been put off by the effort and time to invest to learn the language. It seemed insurmountable.

What inspired you to want to learn this language?


When you spend time in a country, it is normal to want to learn the language to communicate. I have now spent more than a year in China in cumulative time, I begin to be familiar with Chinese culture, but I now regret not having started to learn Chinese before. This is not envy but lacked an effective way to not lose too much time and energy.

How long do you study Chinese now? It's been a month since I started, I learned about 70 vocabulary words and I struggle not to forget them. It's hard for me but the techniques taught by the method CRAMPE help me a lot to partially offset my bad memory.

Why did you choose this method to learn Chinese?


Initially it was quite by chance, I was in Guiyang (Guizhou, China), and I was looking on the internet the recipe for a typical excellent soup you eat down the street from my home. I came across the blog of Cedric, a French teacher living Guiyang Chinese. You should know that there are only a few dozen French in Guiyang on a population of several million people. Intrigued, I contacted him, he was actually in France, and I found his method of learning Chinese with interest. She has that others do not?

What caught my attention initially is that this method is not based on pure memorization, but rather explanations and analysis to understand how each character is constructed. So many characters are not the fruit of chance, but are composed of significant elements which partially help to memorize the route mnémotechniquement character and meaning. We must not believe that it works every time, far from it, but it facilitates learning significantly.

Taiwan a Chinese thieve stole a 3.2 carat diamond, valued at NT$4.2 million



Thieves have stolen a diamond of 3.2 carats, worth NT $ 4.2 million (US $ 128.323) of the Taiwan Jewelry and Gem Fair will be held at the Taipei World Trade Center (TWTC) Exhibition Hall this weekend.

The flight took place on Friday morning, the opening day of the fair.
The thieves came from China, Taiwan entering on tourist visas, police said, adding that it was too late to prosecute suspects because the three women had to board a flight to Shanghai this afternoon .
Last night, the Chinese media reports said the three suspects were detained at Shanghai airport by Chinese public security officers, but the report could not be verified.
The diamond belonged to Yo Chuan jewelers, whose owner Hsu Yuan-chang said: "I thought we would be safe in Taiwan, but it happens. It is outrageous. " The Taipei Police forwarded the case to (CIB) business department through the Strait of Criminal Investigation Bureau Friday to contact their police and public security agencies counterparts China.

They issued arrest warrants against three female suspects: Zhang Ling, 40; Guijuan Xiong, 38; Julan and Leng, 31. Police officials said the three used a ploy "to divert and go", replacing the diamond with a cubic zirconia while the staff were distracted. Hsu said he was standing right outside the booth of the company, leaving two of his employees inside.

At about 10:30, two suspects entered the stand, Hsu said. They would have told the staff that one of them was getting married and wanted to buy a diamond wedding ring. 3.2 carat diamond was presented for further consideration. The women would then also called the diamond certification document.

Their alleged accomplice entered the cabin shortly after and looked at the screen while posing personnel matters.
Although the two employees were busy, one of the women allegedly switched the diamond of 3.2 carat cubic zirconia.
When staff alerted the flight security guards, all exits were locked, but the suspects had left in a taxi to Taipei Taoyuan International Airport for a flight to Shanghai 2:30 pm. Organizers said the event, which is scheduled to run on Monday, is the first exhibition of the jewel of Taiwan.

Sensitive campaign for educate Chinese tourists



With the approach of the National Day holiday, many Chinese embassies abroad have called on their compatriots to behave better and respect the local laws, regulations and customs. In a statement on its website, the Chinese Embassy in Canada has called on Chinese tourists visiting the country to dress appropriately, to avoid talking too much and doing graffiti.

"For example when flights are delayed, travelers should understand the situation and cooperate with the agents."

In Thailand 

The Chinese Embassy in Thailand issued a similar offer, indicating that a patronizing attitude could "ruin their own image." Tourists represent the image of their country. A true patriotism demand respect for others and civic behavior, it said.

This year, Chinese people will enjoy longer holidays, thanks to the Feast of the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day. For the next holiday, travel agencies, such as Ctrip.com, China Youth Travel Service and Lvmama.com noted an increase in bookings for stays abroad, or at least 150% compared to the previous year . source

The behavior of Chinese tourists

The behavior of some fellow sparked controversy, as the four Chinese tourists on September 4 expressed their anger in Bangkok, learning the delay of almost 9am flight back to Chongqing, due to bad weather and technical problems.

China Central Television revealed that many scenic spots in Thailand had posted signs in Chinese, inviting Chinese visitors to behave. In April, the Chinese Tourism Administration began to keep a record of bad behavior of travelers. So far, 11 incidents were registered on its website, including six held in Thailand.

China Tourism Academy

Dai Bin, director of China Tourism Academy, said more legal measures should be introduced to regulate the sector. "Some acts can not simply be classified as an uncivilized behavior, such as the wearing of the inscriptions on ancient relics. Such a move must be punished according to the laws and regulations," the official said.

In France, Chinese tourists are in Danger


Chinese tourists are a prime target for criminals ... In Paris, but also in the Yvelines where many of them live. Two women, aged 39 and 50 years, made fresh on Saturday night in front of their hotel in Vélizy. To 10:50 p.m., two thieves snatched their bags before their escape aboard a car, reports Le Parisien.

25,000 euros stolen last week

Their loot? € 400 in cash, two smartphones and five credit cards. The attack follows that of last weekend in Carrières-sur-Seine, in which a Chinese tourist was robbed of 25,000 euros. Just in the month of August, four attacks occurred on the same procedure in the Yvelines, prompting the police of Versailles to create an investigative group to identify the two thieves.


Founder of KO security explain that you have groups of gangsters that target Chinese because the have a lot of money.


Police in China 

 The minister asked us to bring back Chinese tourists. "This confession of this officer of the Paris police says a lot about the means employed by the state to improve the image of the capital with tourists from the Middle Kingdom, concerned about the repeated attacks and flights to against their nationals. In Paris, 26,000 policemen and officers of the City mobilized all summer to secure the sites. Ten patrols are deployed every day especially in seven areas: Montmartre, Champs Elysees, Trocadero, the Louvre, Chatelet, Opera ... "Flights of which they are victims are mainly pickpocketing. There is less but it is not yet won, "said an officer of the Security Directorate of nearby Paris conurbation (DSPAP). In these seven areas, the concentration of the security force has lowered last year by 26% crimes affecting Chinese tourists.

"This trend is confirmed since the beginning of the year"

Macroeconomic difficulties are pervasively present in a year. But industry players are sullen longer. The anti-corruption campaign launched by the authorities in 2012 severely affected both segments of the industry from 2013: luxury watches and high-end spirits, choice of objects for the "business gifts" in practice that the Chinese authorities want to stop now.

The year 2015 should, he said, mark a return to healthier fundamentals, with the end of destocking, particularly in watches and spirits.

Hong Kong and Chinese tourists, focus on the situation

Hong Kong Leung Chun-ying chief urged residents to consider the rights of mainland Chinese to visit the southern city of China as well as economic impacts to restrict the influx of tourists. His statement Friday appeared to be a shift from Leung and Hong Kong other lawmakers promise to propose to change the political mainland Chinese visitors to the National People's Congress annual parliamentary meeting of China.


Hong Kong wants more Chinese buyers, just not the kind they are now getting.


"We have to balance the needs of the continent residents to travel to Hong Kong and their rights under the current policy with the livelihoods of the people of Hong Kong," said Leung sidelines of a meeting of the NPC , according to Reuters. "In addition, policy adjustments can not lead to a significant decrease in the number of tourists and thus affect the overall Hong Kong economy and employment."


Hong Kong residents have been demanding a change multiple visa to visit mainland Chinese have used to visit and buy goods in bulk in the city because of the lack of sales tax on certain products. Mainland Chinese buyers often clear boutiques daily necessities such as diapers and powdered milk. More recently, a protest broke out Sunday in the Yuen Long district, and chanting an estimated 400 demonstrators presented to the Chinese Communist Party to be overthrown and for consumers to return to China. Police used pepper spray on demonstrators and 38 people were arrested. Protesters took to call Chinese mainland buyers "locusts."

Over 40 million mainland tourists


Over 40 million mainland tourists visited Hong Kong last year, exceeding the 7.2 million population of the city. However, the number of inbound Chinese tourists fell for the first time in nearly 20 years during the holidays of Chinese New Year in February. "It's alarming," said Joseph Tung, the Travel Industry Council executive director of Hong Kong, according to Reuters. "Put yourself in their shoes. If you feel like people are not welcome you, why would you come to Hong Kong? If these things relate to ... the big spenders in China can simply go elsewhere like Europe. "
Thinning are the crowds of Chinese visitors are pulling their Prada bags and Swiss watches in central Hong Kong as president Xi Jinping strengthens its campaign against corruption and extravagance. Growth numbers are called parallel traders who buy shampoo, milk powder and other consumer goods to sell at higher prices in China, where safety concerns of local products put a premium to those of abroad. That is put Hong Kong Leung Chun-ying head in a dilemma between luxury retailers in the city eager to see more Chinese buyers and angry residents who accuse visitors drive up the cost required. Leung said Friday in Beijing leaders are studying the issue after a discussion this week. "The pattern of overall spending Chinese tourists has changed," Raymond Yeung, an economist at Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Ltd. in Hong Kong, said by phone. "The real question is how Hong Kong can cope with this change."

Luxury good plunged


Luxury goods sales have plunged 14 percent last year, when the city experienced its first annual decline in retail sales since 2003. The decline continued in January, total expenses decreased by 14.6 percent a year ago.
With Chinese tourists constitute 78 percent of visitors to Hong Kong last year, the composition of their drive change on the economy and drag down luxury good companies, including Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Group Ltd. and Prada SpA.
Instead of flying high in China, the city is seeing a growing number of visitors with heavy luggage hoarding space in its subways, its buses and sidewalks. "Hong Kong is essentially losing market share" of wealthy Chinese, said Mariana Kou, an analyst at CLSA. Those go to Japan, South Korea and Europe, while tourists coming to Hong Kong today are spending less, she said. While spending on luxury items fell last year, medical sales, cosmetics and supermarkets have seen so much as a 9.3 percent gain, government data shows. This is helping companies like YATA Ltd, an operator of seven department stores, which saw Chinese tourists buy shampoo and groceries on its shelves, according to CEO Daniel Chong. The new shopping habits is so riling residents.

Yuen Long in the Hong Kong area, close to China, there were three marches in a month against parallel traders and day visitors from the neighboring Chinese city of Shenzhen. Limit visitors

Limit the number of visitors? 

The solution is to limit the number of visitors who are here for just a day, according to Michael Tien, founder of clothing retailer G2000 Group. Those who come several times a year account for 50 percent of Chinese tourists, against 20 percent five years ago, he said. "These visitors do not stay the night and their contribution is very limited," said in an interview Tien in Beijing where he was attending the annual sessions of the top legislative body of China as a Hong Kong delegate. "I do not want to see continental Hong Kong in a negative way, but I hope that more people other than Shenzhen could go to Hong Kong."

Demonstration again Chinese Mainland

Police accused 12 people of 38 arrested during a demonstration on 1 March, and used pepper spray to break up clashes between demonstrators and their opponents, the South China Morning Post reported on March 3rd.
Two thirds of the 743 respondents last month wanted the government to reduce the number of individual Chinese visitors, the Hong Kong Chinese University said March 4. More than three-fifths of respondents said that tourists have brought disadvantages for their lives. "We must find a balance that we do not want to see policy changes leading to a drastic decline in the number of visitors and thus hurt the economy," said Leung reporters in Beijing after attending the Chinese legislative sessions. "The central government to see how it can support the tourism industry in Hong Kong while at the same time does not impact on the daily lives of people."
