China: Easy & Difficult money simultaneously
Chine has dominated the world’s business press pretty much for last 2 or 3 years; with strong economic growth.

“陽光袖子”SPF50 +是正在申請專利的防曬產品，是以布料為基礎的衫袖，可以戴在手臂或腿上。這些在加州生產的皮膚保護衫袖被證明是對所有年齡的人來說都是非常有趣和時髦的服裝。他們不含毒藥和雜亂化學品便能擊退夏日陽光，再加上提供永不磨損的出色皮膚保護。隨著時尚和整體健康成為大前題，陽光衫袖透過減少使用可能對海洋有害的防曬霜和送到堆填區的防曬瓶響應了“綠色”運動。更不用說的是，它提供了各種豐富的色彩和每個人都喜歡的新穎設計！
陽光衫袖的創造者Dashiel Stainthorp指出，“在有陽光時戴上陽光衫袖，用完後把它脫下!“ 她是專門為了兒童和嬰兒而設計它的，因為保護他們嬌嫩的皮膚是非常重要的。在十八歲前毫無保護地接觸陽光， 增加了成人時期患皮膚癌的機會達一倍以上。小兒科醫師往往建議家長，不要在新生兒頭幾個月的關鍵生命時期使用防曬用品。此外，80％的皮膚癌可以歸究於傷害皮膚細胞的紫外光。
她繼續說：“你可以用約 $17.99元為自己的兒童購買一對陽光袖子，以保護他們在整個夏季都不受有害的太陽射線傷害。如果考慮到在整個夏季使用傳統的化學防曬霜的成本，這將是一個巨大的儲蓄。”
“我不想再為我的孩子塗上油膩，雜亂的化學防曬霜，他們把那些防曬霜擦進眼睛及嘴裡。它會沾到所有的物件上，而且只能持續幾個小時之後需要重新塗上。“ 她繼續說：“這也是很昂貴的，但至目前為止，根本沒有別的選擇。特別是在加州這樣的氣候，你絕對要保護孩子的皮膚不受陽光損害。”
當塗抹防曬霜到皮膚上，至少需要20分鐘才能生效。此外，大多數人並不按照瓶上的指示塗上足夠產生保護的防曬霜份量。皮膚癌是美國現行最常見的一種癌症。只需約 11分鐘的接觸便能對皮膚細胞造成無可挽回的損害。 “我在發明陽光衫袖時，吸取了我的孩子們和他們的朋友們誠實的意見。他們讓我確切地知道甚麼是好的，甚麼是不好的。”
從龍到蝴蝶，從心到火焰，陽光衫袖的設計捕捉了兒童的想像力使他們樂於穿戴。 Dashiel總結說：“每個人都喜歡用這種無化學添加方法來保護自己的孩子。陽光袖子正在極速成為一個巨大的熱潮- 而孩子們都非常喜歡他們！”
