| China to be smart phone top dog- Media Watch - January 20,2013 - BONTV China Posted: 21 Jan 2013 11:46 PM PST | Go to www.bon.tv to watch the full episode China will cement its lead as the world's largest smartphone market in 2013 as the nation is expected to sell 240 million smartphones, nearly one-third of global shipments, industry analysis firm Canalys said on Thursday. Analysts said Chinese manufacturers will dominate the domestic market and are well positioned to enter overseas markets. China will register up to 29 percent of the 837 million smartphones projected to be sold this year. The United States, the world's second-largest smartphone market, is likely to absorb another 125 million units during the same period, it said. Total shipments hit 224 million in 2012 in China, making the country the world's No 1 smartphone manufacturer, Xinhua News Agency reported, citing industry insiders. Sales of smartphones in developed economies will see robust growth despite the faltering economies, but the major market drivers are developing economies such as China, according to Canalys. "In total, developing markets will contribute 70 to 80 percent of the growth this year," it added. In addition, national brands will vigorously compete with international players, especially in smaller cities. Domestic vendors are rapidly moving their businesses toward smartphones and winning consumers with their competitively priced devices. Such moves will continue to put "significant pressure" on international vendors this year, according to Nicole Peng, research director at Canalys' China office in <b>...</b> | Views: 0 0 ratings | | Time: 02:45 | More in News & Politics |

| Dandong Arirang - China Take - January 21,2013 - BONTV China Posted: 21 Jan 2013 08:02 PM PST | Go to bon.tv to watch the full episode Arirang here refers to a Korean-style restaurant in the city of Dandong in Liaoning province. The restaurant rose to fame -- or notoriety - after a video of its wait staff training was posted on the Internet. The 15-minute long video clip has gone viral on China's social media. It shows young waitresses in the restaurant going through quasi-military style training: chanting slogans, dancing, singing and exercising as they take orders from what can only be described as a female drill sergeant. At one point, the young women seem to show their determination and grit be being repeatedly knocked and bumped down but standing up again -- perhaps displaying determination not to give up -- who knows? While employees standing outside in lines and shouting out self-motivational chants as they exercise are not unusual outside Chinese businesses - especially restaurants - many posters said they found it hard to tell whether THIS particular example was military camp or a business. The fact that the restaurant is located in the city of Dandong - on the border with North Korea -- led many net users to dub the video "North Korean-style" training. | Views: 7 0 ratings | | Time: 01:43 | More in News & Politics |

| Moutai ends base price requirement - Biz Wire - January 21,2013 - BONTV China Posted: 21 Jan 2013 07:14 PM PST | Go to www.bon.tv to watch the full episode Follow us on Weibo weibo.com or Twitter.com/ChinaBizWire Guizhou Moutai, one of China's largest liquor companies, announced on its official website that it is ending marketing polices that go against China's Anti-monopoly Laws. The company's new policies will soon published under the guidance of China's National Development and Reform Commission or NDRC, and the Price Bureau in Guizhou Province. According to China's Anti-monopoly Laws, a company is forbidden to set fixed or base prices for distributors. It's the first time for a liquor company to be investigated under the law since it came into force in 2008. At present, the anti-monopoly investigation is still ongoing, which is led by the NDRC and a final conclusion will be given later, according to the Price Bureau of Guizhou province. Maotai's chairman Yuan Renguo, said on Dec. 18 that the key task for Moutai is to prevent retail market prices from decreasing. As of the beginning of January; Moutai has punished seven distributors for breaking the company's price discipline to sell Moutai liquor at lower prices. Once Moutai changes its marketing polices, distributors will have some autonomy in deciding the retail prices of Moutai. As the coming Spring Festival is traditionally a boom time for the liquor industry, many distributors will prefer to clear inventories rapidly with low prices, which is believed to affect the prices of high-end liquors to some degree. | Views: 0 0 ratings | | Time: 01:44 | More in News & Politics |
