China is open for business

Japan's GDP is larger than that of the entire ASEAN region, yet China's trade with Japan is only about one-third of its trade with ASEAN. Given that Shanghai is approximately a two-hour flight from Osaka, it is closer to Osaka than any ASEAN country. This proximity highlights the potential for increased business between China and Japan. To explore this opportunity, we are forming a WeChat group and invite discussions in Chinese, English, or Japanese.

When we have enough people, we will hold offline events in China and/or Japan.

As the influx of visitors to China grows for both business and leisure, we're keen to assemble a community of like-minded individuals to explore emerging business prospects. Our initial move is to establish a WeChat group to facilitate idea exchange. Whether you're currently in China on a short-term visit or planning your trip, we welcome your input. Beyond brainstorming, there's potential for forging collaborative ventures upon your return to your respective countries. Let's leverage the principle of comparative advantage to maximize our business endeavors.

Our Meetup Schedule: Just a Reference. Upon Reaching a Threshold in WeChat Group Members, Offline Events in Shanghai May Commence.
