China & Beyond: Life, Trade & Conversations
Details
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, one wants to stay open-minded
- Or simply someone who enjoys thoughtful, honest conversations
You’re very welcome to join.
There is no fee to participate, but you may need to order something at the bar.
