The Jing Daily 100: China’s luxury power list

Meet the Jing Daily 100: the entrepreneurs, executives, and creatives shaping luxury commerce and culture in China. For over 15 years, Jing Daily has been the only global fashion publication singularly focused on journalism covering luxury and culture in China and APAC. Our founder and publisher, Larry Warsh, established a clear directive from the beginning: to build a New York-based publication reporting on China’s luxury market and the wider Asia-Pacific region. That focus has sometimes earned us the label of “niche.” But there is, in fact, nothing niche about Chinese consumers, who spent 65 billion euros ($72 billion) on personal luxury goods in 2025, according to Bain & Company; the global and homegrown brands shaping it; the executives and entrepreneurs leading them; or the extraordinary creative force of the designers, photographers, stylists, editors, artists, and cultural figures producing some of the most exciting work in the world today. This ecosystem absolutely deserves a global publication solely dedicated to it. Today, we are proud to introduce the inaugural “Jing Daily 100,” created to recognize and honor this cohort of executives and creatives. The list represents the culmination of 17 years reporting on, and building relationships with, the people who have helped shape China’s creative and commercial landscape. Curated by our team of editors across China, Europe and the United States, the list spans seven categories: Founders, Executives, Culturati, Designers, Legends, Editorialists and Makers. Together, they reflect the breadth of China’s creative economy. Leaders of the multinational conglomerates that have helped drive one of the most consequential retail transformations of the century appear alongside the freshest voices in fashion, art and music, who are pushing forward a new wave of Chinese creativity. Browse the full Jing Daily 100, and stay tuned for coverage from our gala this evening at The St. Regis on the Bund in Shanghai.
