...I. Introduction: Chinese cuisine is served anywhere , even in our own homes. Even at our simple gatherings we usually include Chinese cuisine in our entrails. Chinese cuisine is introduced in the Philippines as early as the 10th century. From appetizers to main curses like dim sums, noodles, meat dishes like sweet and sour, asado, roasted and many more. We Filipinos love to eat Chinese foods. Most Filipinos loved Chinese foods because Chinese influences them to their cuisine. Filipino cuisine is influenced principally by China, Spain, and the United States, integrated into the pre-colonial indigenous Filipino cooking practices. When restaurants were established in the 19th century, Chinese food became a staple of the pansiterias, with the food given Spanish names. The "comida China" Chinese food includes arroz caldo rice and chicken gruel, and morisqueta tostada fried rice. When the Spaniards came, the food influences they brought were from both Spain and Mexico, as it was through the vice-royalty of Mexico that the Philippines were governed.In the Philippines, trade with China started in the 11th century, as documents show, but it is conjectured that undocumented trade may have started even two centuries earlier. Trade pottery excavated in Laguna, for example, includes pieces dating to the Tang Dynasty. The Chinese trader supplied the silks sent to Mexico and Spain in the galleon trade. In return they took back products of field, forest - beeswax...

...Introduction China is identified as one of the most popular markets since it is growing vibrantly. Hence, burgeoning market economy in China has attracted numerous companies that want to enter this market and Danone Group is one of them. Danone is a French food and beverage conglomerate and signed an agreement with the Hangzhou Wahaha Group in 1996, a Chinese beverage company, to set up a series of joint ventures in China. The partnership was established to market products under the Wahaha brand name. Ultimately, the agreement resulted into thirty-nine joint ventures. Those joint ventures were hugely profitable as the Wahaha brand became a household name in China. In spite of these successes, the relationship started to deteriorate. After years of court battles, Danone finally pulled out of the JV and ended this partnership with Wahaha. Based on the case study, this essay will firstly analyze Danone’s market entry mode and limitations of this mode.

...Unless It’s Contaminated! (p. 40-41) Summary China is known to drink 25 million tons of milk a year, a practice that is still fairly new to the culture (Baltzan, 2015). In such a high demand, the market for milk flourished, sending dairy producers in a moral-less fight. In 2008 it was discovered that a dairy producer named Sanlu, used an additive called melamine in an effort to increase their testing of protein and driving their prices up. This chemical is also used to make plastic. Four infants died because of the contamination, and 53,000 became sick. A few of the biggest diary producers pulled their products from the shelves. Nearly 20 countries banned Chinese products all together. Recently Starbucks launched a new product that is grown in China. They hope to launch it world wide, but in order for that to come to pass, farmers are going to have to produce fast enough to meet a high demand. This could open up another issue for Chinese illegitimate business practices. Answers to Questions 1. Explain why the supply chain can dramatically impact a company? There are a lot of factors that went into selling milk in China. The supply chain assisted in that process. Many people such as farmers, middlemen, and distributors were a part of the supply chain. With large market, processes were always looking to be improved in efficiency and production quality. Tampering with the supply chain can either help or hinder the profit from the product. Supply chain management can...
