International Women’s Day is celebrated on the 8th of March, annually providing an important moment to showcase commitment to women’s achievements, raise awareness, and highlight gender parity gains, and more. So, each year on this day, the world inspires women and celebrates their achievements.

Business Tianjin Magazine in tandem with Shangri-La Hotel, Tianjin, were able to host a leadership Lunch at the Shang Palace Chinese Restaurant, celebrating the limitless potential of women and allowing the top Women leaders and executives of Tianjin to network and connect with each other in order to enhance their important roles in the society to build a better tomorrow, and to empower women of the future.

The Chinese economy has printed downbeat numbers, many of which are far below expectations. The numbers do not come as a surprise to many who were waiting for the economy to show signs of a slowdown. Global demand is weakening due to slower global growth. The domestic market in China seems to be faltering, manufacturing activity is shrinking in medium and small size factories, but while the economy is showing signs of weakness, many analysts are still optimistic and believe that many tools can be used to stimulate the economy.

In early March, at the “Two Sessions” of the National People’s Congress, the chairman of the NPC standing committee, Li Zhangshu, noted that a property tax would be among those taxes that would soon be implemented, without specifying exactly what that time line was. This is at least the third time this topic has been brought up at this level, signalling action is coming. Michael Hart, an expert of the Real Estate sector in China provided to us a good introduction of this topic in this issue.

You also should not miss the Tech article as well. While it definitely sounds bizarre and indistinguishable from a sci-fi movie plot, the day is probably not too far when tiny robots, known as nanobots, will roam freely inside your body to detect and cure various health hazards, including humanity’s worst nemesis: Cancer. Amazing, right?
