This is what Ashley writes on how China influences the stories on how we conduct business:”
“China is flipping the script on business as we know it—redefining how we shop, what we consume, and even the stories we tell. From tech companies like DeepSeek and TikTok, to brands like BYD and Mixue, and IPs like Labubu, Nezha, and Wukong, China’s bold innovations are sparking ideas around the world. In this keynote, I’ll share eye-opening stories, practical tips, and a fresh perspective on how businesses can prepare for Chinese brands to enter their markets and verticals, ride these waves of change—and maybe even create their own!”
