The most famous online Chinese celebrities

China has one of the most connected countries in the world with about ten times more Internet users than French population.

The concept of being an online celebrity and earning huge amount of revenue through Internet is widely known in western countries. For example, if we take YouTube there are self-made millionaires such as Michelle Phan, discovery of artists (Justin Bieber) or even comedians (Lilly Singh) or game players. However, for China it is pretty new and this phenomenon is becoming less and less unusual.

Indonesia Invest in Tourism with Chinese Travelers

Some people might have known that Indonesia and China has the connection on its history many years ago. As the result, that connection can still be seen in nowadays life. That might be one reason why the ministry of tourism is trying to take more than 2.1 million of Chinese people to come to travel to Indonesia.In some ways, this might be a little bit awkward since the ministry is trying to take as many Chinese tourists as possible. However, if you take a look at the chance and the fact that the historical background has a kind of connection, that makes it very possible.

Travel industry in China

Travel industry in China 

Ctrip is likely to make a counter-bid for eLong following a surprise offer from Tencent, sparking a potential bidding war that should ultimately see Ctrip emerge as the victor.

I also have to suspect that this particular bid came without the knowledge of Ctrip, which itself owns 37 percent of eLong. Ctrip got its stake after joining a group that bought out a controlling 62 percent of eLong previously held by US travel giant Expedia (Nasdaq: EXPE) earlier this year. 

Tencent has owned its stake in eLong since 2011. Ctrip’s recent moves have all pointed to its own buyout offer for eLong, leading me to believe that we could quickly see a bidding war break out for the company.I’ve been predicting for the last few months that leading online travel site Ctrip (Nasdaq: CTRP) would make a buyout bid for former rival eLong (Nasdaq: LONG), so I was quite surprised to read that such a bid has come instead from Internet giant Tencent (HKEx: 700). This particular move is all the stranger because Tencent hasn’t shown much interest in the travel sector before now, though it previously invested in eLong and now owns about 15 percent of the company.

More broadly speaking, this latest buyout offer is part of a bigger wave of similar deals that have seen dozens of US-listed Chinese companies launch privatization bids this year. Most of those companies have failed to attract interest from US investors, and their shares have languished as a result. Many feel they could get better valuations in China, and are trying to de-list from the US and eventually re-list at home.
The case with eLong is similar, since the stock never did very well and has lost nearly half of its value since the Ctrip-led buyout of Expedia’s stake back in May. According to eLong, Tencent has now offered to buy all of its shares for $18 each, representing a 27 premium over their last closing price. (company announcement; Chinese article) But that price still represents a discount from the peak of more than $22 that eLong reached back in May when the earlier Expedia buyout was announced.

Cosmetics Market in China

The cosmetics market in China has been delighting global giants in this sector. Indeed, the Chinese are richer in recent years. Their purchasing power today allows them to live in comfort and luxury. The arrival of fashion brands and foreign cosmetics in China immediately made its effects, as sales soared significantly. China now ranks second in the global cosmetics market. China will probably surpass the Japanese world leader by 2020 if economic growth in the country continues to stabilize and this was the case in the past 10 years.

Foreign cosmetic brands flooding the Chinese market

As soon as they have settled in China, foreign cosmetic brands have quickly conquered the Chinese consumers. Today, these account for 90% of the market share, leaving 10% to small Chinese brands who increasingly difficult to assert themselves. Indeed, the Chinese prefer to assert their success by adopting a lifestyle to Western. They even go further by paying a large sum of money in different beauty products that cost a China twice more expensive than elsewhere. If the price of different beauty products more expensive in China is that the Chinese authorities do not want to lose any crumb of this burgeoning market. Sometimes some products are taxed 50% and this is equally valid for products purchased outside China's borders for products already in the country.

Small local brands are emerging

Given the current circumstances where Western brands flooding the Chinese cosmetics market, some Chinese brands still come to assert itself, said Thomas. Indeed, the products that they offer on the market start their entry into range for a few years. To attract Chinese consumers, their main strengths lie in the exploitation of local natural resources developed by pharmaceutical companies. If China is known to the world through poor quality products, today this is no longer the case, via googleplus

Quality is increasingly present in various Chinese products on the market. If today, Chinese brands have 10% share of the cosmetics market, this trend can quickly switch a few years as in the textile industry where Chinese manufacturers today have a monopoly in the world.
