...market share requires expanding their presence in nouveau riche markets like mainland China, where they have already opened an impressive 25 stores and have 8 more planned for this year. Some of these outlets are even popping up in unlikely and remote places such as icebound Harbin and industrial Shenyang - far-flung, provincial cities where high style still means white socks, polyester slacks and faux-leather man bags. Educating these consumers in the general principles of fashion is a gargantuan task, never mind teaching them the difference between Ferragamo and Fendi or Fiorucci. Presumably, this is why Ferragamo organized...
Zhou Shuguang's brief but spectacular career as China's first roving citizen reporter on the Internet ended abruptly last December after he was punched in the throat by an angry policeman in the northeastern city of Shenyang. Zhou's offense: investigating a bizarre pyramid scheme involving ants and aphrodisiacs.

...Tongtong had an urgent need to learn Japanese. Growing up in the grimy northeastern Chinese city of Shenyang, his biggest passion was video games. But amping up the onscreen action required Wu to master Japanese commands. Japan's brutal wartime occupation of Shenyang and other parts of China, which continues to stoke Chinese anger today, mattered little in the face of achieving total domination in his favorite video game. Both the computer and linguistic skills have since paid off. Today, Wu, 27, works in Tokyo as a software consultant, part of an influx of highly skilled Chinese labor that...
...Staying on schedule is our biggest challenge," says chief engineer Jiang Liping. At full capacity, ACAC hopes to build 50 of the jets a year. The supply chain is state of the art. Fuselage sections are built at factories throughout China - located in cities including Chengdu, Xi'an, and Shenyang - and are shipped to Shanghai for final assembly. Critical components, such as advanced electronics and engines, are being sourced from 19 foreign suppliers, including the U.S.'s GE and Honeywell. "ACAC has been strong about demanding on-time delivery," says Martin Lin, Beijing representative for Rockwell Collins, which is making...
