Abstract | With all manner of international brand products flooding into China, local companies behind many traditional products are having to fight for survival. Even goods which have enjoyed years of popularity - but which could not be upgraded because of a lack of modern technology - are up against it in today's market economy. This article looks at the cases of roast Peking duck, century-old cotton shop, herbal medicines and pickling vegetables. The way Beijing has preserved these shops and products is featured. |
