Ashley Galina Dudarenok says, “China has a unique digital landscape, consumers have distinctive purchasing behaviours and there’s intense competition between homegrown and foreign brands.

In this piece, I will talk about emerging trends and share tips for all Western brands who want to do marketing in China in 2018.
