ChinaRetailNews.com provides news and information devoted to helping retail professionals in all sectors act on new trends and forge new paths of their own. We troll press releases, commentaries, and indices to bring you the sort of information you need to conduct business in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou or out in China's hinterlands.
In April 2007, ChinaFranchiser.com merged with ChinaRetailNews.com, founded by veteran data expert Danny Levinson, to provide even more targeted daily news covering all of China's different retail and franchise sectors. We were then acquired by Asia Media Network in late 2009 in the China Dispatch acquisition.
