China-chic has happened, but what is it?The term characterizes the rise of Chinas native fashion trends, It has expanded the concept of “Made in China”, which has been recognized as the representation of Chinese culture and aesthetics offered by homegrown Chinese brands, according to CGTN.China-chic came into the spotlight in 2018. Before that, big name foreign companies dominated the world market. To win market share, many Chinese brands followed in the footsteps of these Western brands. But that year, Chinese sportswear brand Li-Ning changed things up. During the 2018 New York Fashion Week, Li-Ning introduced its Taoism-inspired Wu Dao collection. The collection not only had a trendy look, but also included elements of traditional Chinese culture. It immediately grabbed attention at home and abroad.The trend to embrace domestic brands has since spread rapidly to various sectors and products, from food and drinks to clothing, mobile phones and electric vehicles. For example, White Rabbit, whose sweet candy brings back childhood memories for many, launched its perfume and lip balm. “We want White Rabbit to be a brand that young people want to share,” Shen Qinfeng, the companys marketing manager, told Peoples Daily.Now, the guochao trend is “moving to the next stage, where its success will rely, first and foremost, on gaining cultural confidence rather than Western validation”, according to Kerra Zhou, founder of brand strategy consultancy Kerrisma.No matter how the guochao trend evolves, theres one thing that wont change: Behind the craze is peoples positive attitude toward the countrys development and their recognition of and growing confidence in national culture, said Yao Linqing, a professor in the School of Economics and Management at Communication University of China.4What makes Li-Ning so fashionable?AIts successful market strategy similar to Western brands.BIts trendy look similar to Western brands.CIts elements of traditional Chinese culture.DChic and unique clothes styles.5Why did the author mention “White Rabbit” in paragraph 5?ABecause White Rabbit reminded the author of his or her childhood.BBecause the author helped White Rabbit promote new products.CBecause White Rabbit was a good example for showing the guochao trend.DBecause this traditional brand was on the decline.6W
