There
is not only Korean wave in China. Korean people usually feel Japan so near and
yet so far, but in fact, now, we are closer to China.
There are so many manias
for American dramas in China as much as in Korea.
I am a little bit ashamed to
evaluate China or tell about its culture because I am running a business in
China, but I think China gradually accepts diversity of the globalization and
internationalization.
South
Korea took over 10 years to be naturalized, whereas China makes its own thing
of others within a year. It’s really a tremendous speed.
I can feel the speed
the most in Shanghai, Beijing, and Guangzhou.
I can realize that China has
enormously changed.
I think cell-phone of XiaoMi will become the general trend
soon after beating out its rivals, such as iPhone and Samsung. Haier is the
world’s No.1 electronics company for white goods.
The world’s leading companies
in various industry sectors appear in China every day.
Nowadays, South Korea
focuses on raising the Dano Festival that was designated as a UNESCO World
Heritage site to the surface with being frustrated by asking whether South
Korea is swift or China is too slow.
I think there was the Dano Festival in
China, but it was faded away. When South Korea registered this festival as
UNESCO sites, it caused panic in China.
China demanded why South Korea
registered the Chinese heritage and designated it a holiday. Because of this
situation, our factory took a day off.
I feel that China has national holidays
as much as South Korea has. Sinocentrism that refers to the historical ideology
that China was the cultural center
of the world seems to turn into nationalism or egoism.
However, on the other
hand, the display of the Chinese diversity about the trueness of China that has
been discriminated probably shows up all over the industry and culture.
South
Korea and China similarly want to have cheap and perfect goods, but in this
situation, it is not long until a professional master appears.
Now, China tries
to make its own value.
Our employees asked about the relation between
making a shopping bag and brand values.
I had a hard time explaining the link
between those two things.
They complained why they should go to work at 8’o clock
in the morning and work during the weekends.
However, time would solve everything. There are
many different kinds of people, but the problem is that the Korean and Chinese
companies exist because workers feel stable and fellowship that they can work
tomorrow.
The world’s clothes exhibition was held in Hangzhou. As Ms. Chin, Ms.
RiRi, and Mr. Whang posted an article on our Chinese blog, I felt their own
desperate a little bit.
I asked for understanding a brand value, but now,
employees ask me whether to go or not…
