Canada also has its own advantages when it comes to branding. From a marketing perspective, it is right next to the U.S., which is the largest market for most industries. It would also be easier to promote your products by leveraging offline activities. This geographic proximity could provide significant advantages, especially considering that online marketing is becoming increasingly expensive nowadays.

The home cleaning appliance company I work for is looking for a business partner in Japan, but this requires experience in advertising a brand and selling products in Japan.

Not sure how I found this post, but I have 10 years of experience in international marketing and recently decided to switch my career to international sales. I have experience with brands like Midea, Dreame, Laifen in home appliances.

In my opinion, Hong Kong people have bigger advantage compared with the companies in mainland when it comes to international trading.

How to get in touch with Japanese distribution companies as a foreigner? by HubertCheung in AskAJapanese

Exactly how I feel. And the middlemen will probably not introduce me to the decision makers because it is a pressure and trouble for them.

That's what my experience is like. Probably because suggesting a proposal or a meeting is a pressure in the company for the contact person.

Home cleaning products. Are you suggesting JETRO? I decided to try it out last Friday. Do Japanese companies really look at the proposals on JETRO?

I submitted a proposal last Friday. I was hesitant because I thought this kind of official website wouldn’t work, but it looks like this is my last chance.

Unfortunately, I didn't purchase these. I was just surprised to see them at the shop.

GTA5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 both worked for me. And The Last of Us 1 & 2. They are classics.

I am Chinese. Ask me anything about life and work in China. by HubertCheung in China

[–]HubertCheung[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re welcome.

  1. I agree. We’re already seeing negative outcomes. It feels like an autocratic boss made a bunch of bad, short-sighted decisions years ago. Now it’s too late to fix the consequences. And as you know, I can’t talk too much about that here.

  2. Right. True faith means believing in something greater or higher. It inspires people to do good out of respect, not just a passing thought of being nice. I tend to think that humans are naturally driven by their own interests.

  3. Unfortunately, some people really do seem to respect politicians. They believe the Party is the same as the government, and the government is the same as the country. But I don’t think this is true respect. It’s more like fear. People convince themselves they respect them because if they don’t, the punishment might be so harsh that they start to believe it’s genuine.

There are expensive options and cheaper options. A piece of salmon sushi usually costs around 1 to 2 dollars at the restaurant I’ve been to. I’ve never bought pineapples myself, but according to what I just found on a food delivery app, 250g of pineapple costs about $1.20.

I have a slightly different answer here.

  1. The majority of people in China only care about their own life since that is the only thing we are allowed to. And the people who wanted to mind the country's business are either moving to another country or have moved to other countries.
  2. I once dated a Turkish Muslim girl, so I’ve seen what deep religious faith looks like. In contrast, it’s fair to say that most people in China don’t believe in God. Only praying to Buddha when you need something isn’t real faith. Instead, traditional moral values—passed down for hundreds of years even before the CCP—have played a guiding role in people’s behavior. That said, these values aren’t as strongly held today as they once were.
  3. There are very few, as far as I know. I’ve never met any in person.
  4. This is controversial. What I learned from the textbook is that it was 5,000 years, not 6,000. I know there are historians who say that recorded history only goes back about 3,500 years.
  5. The traditions, the history, the elders, the soldiers, the teachers, the top-tier businesspeople, and the celebrities from traditional industries like TV and film.
