UKTI & FT Collaborative Event, 5th April, Beijing

Jennifer has been invited to attend GREAT Thought Leadership Dialogue that taking place on 5th April 2016 Beijing. Discussion topic is about Chinese Culture and Globalization. China is one of those civilizations which is very rich in its cultural heritage since the very day of its existence. One of the major positive impacts of globalization on the Chinese culture is that of ethics and economy. The Chinese economy has been one of the most flourishing economies after the world experienced globalization. However, apart from the many positive effects, globalization has also had some negative effects, one of which hits the Chinese nation is that people are adopting western culture as their own and are more inclined to western cultural heritage.
