China & Beyond: Life, Trade & Conversations

Hi, I’m Shina :)
I started as a journalist, then moved into marketing and brand management in a tech company. Later, I spent some time in the Netherlands studying and working. Now I’m in Shenzhen, working in international trade.

Along the way, I’ve met quite a few people trying to figure out China — how things actually work here, how to find the right people, what’s changing, what’s real and what’s just… marketing.

So I wanted to start something simple.

Not really a “networking group”, just a small, ongoing space where people can sit down, have a coffee, and talk openly — about work, about experiences, and also about how we each see things differently.

Most of the time, we’ll just do:

• Saturday afternoon coffee chats ☕
• Occasionally city walks or light hiking
• No pressure, no pitching — just real conversations

If you’re:

• New to China and trying to make sense of it
• Working with Chinese suppliers or in sourcing
• In international trade and want to stay open-minded
• Or simply someone who enjoys thoughtful, honest conversations

You’re very welcome to join.
