YEAN serves as one of the supporting organizations for China Entrepreneurs’ line of events this year and I attended a China Entrepreneurs event recently, together with Raymond and Tian Chang. The session was a panel discussion about the Hot Sectors of 2012, and the speakers highlighted some of these key sectors of 2012. 1.
