comments re Goldman Sachs vs. Chinese Banks

Goldman Sachs vs. Chinese Banks


Some may argue that there is no right or wrong answers, western world has previously a 'proven model' but since credit crunch, we may have observed that the model might be broken in various ways. China is so unique that it might be a perfect ground to have a 'new banking/trading model' devised. may we live in interesting time. @GarethWong

Hardware is only part of the jigsaw. Apple has now got both cult/avant-garde AND mass market following at higher price tag. Given the success of app store (pseudo-micro pricing + developer community), it is some would argue that it has the perfect platform to be leveraged to launch some proper community gaming with or without competing with consoles (as we know it). Despite not an apple user, I am looking forward to now (hopefully fully recovered) new Steve Jobs. @GarethWong

Apple's big challenge is not Spotify but China | Opinion | New Media Age

Indeed, it is general view that 'he who wins over china, will win the world'.

yes, it is a big market, but China has and play to its own rules, rightly or wrongly. Knowing its own market size, and iron grip on regulations and hence can dictate and has enough market to have its own variants of standard(s), why play to the western tunes when China can have its own 'instrument'?

in this instance, China should be considered as a different market and no doubt a new rules/market leader will be formed, on business model/value chain and maybe we can also observe different consumer behaviour.

however, whether or not these would also be translated to rest of the world? time will tell.
