Expansion is organic in every sense of the word, with the company growing along with the community, and there is mutual respect and commitment.

How is this relevant to China? It is a business model that should inspire local businesses.

We have plenty of traditional crafts that are fading because the young see no future in the continuity, and they leave for cities where they may not make a decent living but contribute to growing social imbalance.

If Chinese companies can see the opportunities in the rural areas where these traditional crafts originate, they can help the communities come alive again and prosper, and reduce the growing income divide between cities and the countryside.

They will also help preserve the exquisite crafts that have been passed down from generation to generation yet face the threat of extinction. China's traditional crafts deserve to grow and not languish on museum shelves.

There are countless possibilities, from exquisite porcelain and silver craft to the delicate embroidery from all over the country. Foreign designers are taking inspiration from Chinese arts elements, but the push and motivation must come from within the country, from among the people.

Then, and only then, can there be organic growth like what is happening in Ubud, Bali. We must learn from each other, then apply that knowledge so we can move forward.
