A number of firms enter the Chinese market primarily because it’s a wide open place to test, gather feedback and refine their technology. Case in point — people in the PRC change cell phones much more often than is the case here in the US; yet, many Chinese may make less money. Why is that? Is this openness and fixation with new technology and gadgets cultural? Historical? Economically driven? Other? Whatever the reason, it makes China a haven for testing new cell phone ideas, styles, brands and technologies.

Here are two good pieces that touch on the topic of technology adaptation in China:

Wall Street Journal, Motorola Dials In To China’s Under-30 Set.

China Business Network Podcast, Interview with Cat Rust, Founder and Director of Catalist Group.

Self-explanatory pieces. Good stuff.

Oh, and the “great sex” part of the title of this post? I just put that in there after reading a recent article that suggests that the word “sex” pulls in more readers to a blog post than other monikers. If that was the reason you read this post … gotcha.
