Coming back from China, it felt like moving back in time. How can a country, that I previously saw as the manufacturer of world products, be so far ahead of us technologically?! Their mobile-driven eco-system thinking, combined with fast e-commerce and new retail solutions, is what I want in Sweden! Why are we lagging behind?
