Bloomberg’s Post

With the country’s economy facing its worst slowdown in years, huge amounts of office space are sitting empty in once-booming cities like Shenzhen and Wuhan, while rents are falling.  Nearly 24% of the office-tower space in 18 major Chinese cities was unoccupied as of June, according to CBRE, the real-estate services firm. That is worse than the U.S., where office vacancy rates hit a 30-year-high of 18.2% in June. Unlike the U.S., however, China’s office market isn’t suffering from a significant shift toward hybrid work patterns, which have reduced Western companies’ need for space. China is facing a more basic real-estate problem: Developers simply built too much supply, and now the economy is too weak to absorb it.

🧧 Digital Red Envelopes are a Modern Twist on a Time-Honored Tradition As we approach Chinese New Year, a tradition that has always fascinated me is the giving of 'hongbao' or red envelopes. It's incredible to see how this age-old custom has embraced the digital world. Gone are the days when red envelopes were only crisp paper packets; they have transformed into digital greetings sent with a few taps on our phones. These digital red envelopes are more than just a tech-savvy way to send money. They are keeping our cherished customs alive and kicking in the modern world. By going digital, red envelopes have become something that everyone, especially the younger folks, can connect with and enjoy. They are keeping a beautiful tradition fresh and exciting. The move to digital red envelopes shows us how we can keep our history and traditions going strong, even as the world around us changes. As we celebrate Chinese New Year, let's enjoy how these digital red envelopes remind us of our ability to adapt and grow, mixing our rich past with the exciting possibilities of the future. Wishing everyone a prosperous and joy-filled Chinese New Year from The Workforce Studio! #ChineseNewYear #DigitalTraditions #CulturalHeritage #Innovation
