Good Blogs about Retail in China

Just a quick jot-down of China blogs I've added to my Google Reader for some time and that are consistently giving me good info on Mainland Chinese retail habits and products.

I'm not a marketer, but being in Hong Kong, we're increasingly affected on a day-to-day basis by Mainland consumption. These English-language blogs are a great window into the fascinating world of Chinese spending.


Nicely Made in China
Like it says on the tin. Things that are made in China, nicely. They exist (even though some are from Hong Kong, which doesn't usually suffer the same prejudice as "Made In China")


Red Luxury
Good tracker of (usually large, globally-recognised) luxury brands moving into China.


China Youthology
A brand consulting firm that focuses on youth marketing in China. Digging up some good stuff on grassroots trends and second- and third-tier youth sentiments hard for non-locals to pick up on. As anthropological as it is commercial.

As I said, these are just a few I found along the way. Would love to know more if you have any faves.

Edit 25/05/2011: adding as I go...


Jing Daily
Similar to Red Luxury, but probably broader in scope (Red Luxury is more luxury fashion). They go into art, wine, retail and finance with more of an industry-level approach and also create original content as opposed to aggregating as Red Luxury does.
