Recent development, however, shows a cultural renaissance in China wherein Chinese people have increasingly demanded their traditional culture components to be part of their consumption experience, coinciding with China’s re-emergence as a country of economic and political power. We identify this shift, explore its causes, and discuss its managerial and theoretical implications.
