'Ghostbusters' Denied Release in China
No Ghostbusters in China?
Question is why?
The articles guess is because China's ideology is very science focused, a hold over of the Communist Party's Marxist Ideology. The studio did try, even removing the term ghost from the title. Pirates of the Caribbean; Dead Man's Chest in 2006 was also not approved. Or could it be because it's seen as a poor performer?

Macy's in China?
My advice would be start small, and see what works, and does not work. With joint ventures, be very very careful. From what I read the huge headaches for e-commerce operations in China is logistics and payment.

Battle heats up among Chinatown bubble tea shops
Typical - where one shop can do OK, then more open since the first is doing great. And then everyone suffers usually. I have seen this a couple of times. A family friend's Taiwanese restaurant had a competitor open next door to them, so they got into a pricing war. The family friend was furious that the property management company would allow a competitor next door. The end result was the other company finally closed, and my friend then sold their restaurant and the new owners had to close it. And the spot is still empty at that mall, so the property management company also lost.
Sometimes, it can actually be good to have a cluster of businesses in an area and it actually helps everyone. An example of that is all the Chinese wedding photography studios in Temple City.

Conflict of Interests in China Shipping
Eye opening article. Basically a Brazilian mine owner to make their ore more competitive, had made some super huge vessels at a cost of $2 Billion Dollars. Unfortunately, the company did not realize how politically connected the current ore carriers are (dominated by a Chinese state owned company).

The quotes are eye opening, and I have heard of similar demands:
At the crux of Ng's case has been a crude power play for control of the lucrative travel company, GZL, which has offered a sobering insight into the influence of state-owned enterprises and the murkier aspects of China's judicial system.

Wow, the former owner of Billabong declared bankruptcy after investing in China.
I wish there was more details in the article. Basically Mr. Perrin seemed to have no understanding of how business really works in China, and lost everything because of it. This is telling:
