Moodie Davitt WeChat: Key stories from Week 38

CHINA. We are pleased to bring readers a summary of recent posts on The Moodie Davitt Report’s WeChat Official Account as the platform continues to grow strongly in China. Stories are posted four times a month in Mandarin and English.

The Moodie Davitt Report has stepped up its Chinese language coverage of key China-related stories, anchored by our WeChat platform, published four times a month. Readership is climbing steadily with the platform now attracting 4,753 followers, along with encouraging reading and sharing levels.

This service is complemented by our recently launched Moodie Davitt Report China Travel Retail Express platform, also on WeChat, which publishes daily.

We also publish the China Travel Retail Report, a quarterly eZine. The next edition will be published in coming days.

Moodie Davitt WeChat is curated under the direction of Penelope Zhou, our Hong Kong-based Chinese Editor, and company Founder & Chairman Martin Moodie, also based in Hong Kong.

They are supported by Chief China Representative Yimei Zhang, former Deputy General Manager at Hainan Tourism Investment Duty Free Co. (HTDF) in Sanya, who heads our newly established Moodie Davitt Hainan-based entity, which publishes Moodie Davitt China Travel Retail Express.

Dachang Wang, who had spent two years with HTDF as Brand Manager, has joined the Hainan team as Editor of Moodie Davitt China Travel Retail Express reporting to Yimei Zhang.
