The year 2018 has been quite an eventful one, to say the least. Amidst trade war tensions and celebrities getting fined hundreds of millions of RMB for tax evasion, to another record breaking Singles’ Day and the loss of many Shanghai F&B institutions, our cover story (p39-49) has a recap of some of the most memorable news stories and trends happening around China over the past year.
Christmas is just around the corner, and even if you aren’t traveling back home, there are plenty of things to do around town to get you into the holiday spirit. Check out Cristina Ng’s Christmas food and drink deals roundup on p54 to see where you can celebrate with a feast, or flip to p18 for gift ideas from some of our favorite homegrown brands. Meanwhile in Arts, Sarah Forman takes a look at the Powerlong Museum’s Korean abstract art exhibition, Dansaekhwa, and the movement of the genre across Asia.
Last but not least, the film Crazy Rich Asians has been screening in major theaters across China since November 30, and in the City feature (p10) this month, I chat with a couple of Chinese cultural experts to see whether it can carry its massive success in North America over to the Middle Kingdom. (Spoiler alert: It didn't.)
Until next month,
Dominic Ngai
