Chinese media, advertising, and urban life.
Danwei is a website about media, advertising, and urban life in China. With frequent reference to and translations from Mainland Chinese media, we publish fresh information about China that you won't find anywhere else. We also show originally produced video shows about China - you can find them at Danwei TV home page or by clicking here, or on the links at the top right corner of the Danwei home page. You can find audio podcasts on our Danwei FM channel.
The Chinese word 'Danwei' (单位) means 'unit', as in a unit of currency or measurement, or as in 'work unit' - the old term for a state-owned company that was supposed to provide cradle-to-grave employment, housing and medical treatment.
