They Have Don't Have Logos

Tags:

They have mascots. When it comes to Olympics or Expo, that's normal anywhere in the world. But in China only the biggest of companies actually have logos. Everybody else bets on the power of mascots. Mascots have long tradition. Gateways to ancient palaces are guarded by lions, dragons swirling across walls and columns protect temples.

Sorry, rest of this article is not available in English. Yet.

China Is Not India

In the West China is often mentioned together with India. Both countries have a population of more than a billion. Both are in Asia. Both are developing and fast growing economies. Both have a space program. But these countries could not be more different. Go to India. You will find out that Indians like just to loaf and nap all day, doing nothing – all that because future does not exists and therefore it does not really matter. Go to China. Nobody loafs around. More

at Your Workplace?

Some get free lunch. Others get free language courses. Gym subscriptions, cars, memberships in golf clubs. You name it and such a perk exists. I was allowed to make sounds. More
