Hey,

Hope you and your family are doing well.

I came back from my China trip earlier this month.

As usual, I tried my best to meet my teammates, clients, partners, and friends there.

Here is one important observation during my stay in Shanghai:

More B2B companies in China have been targeting overseas markets since last year.

Why?

The main reason is the downturn in the Chinese economy.

Generally speaking, they would choose US and EU markets as a priority.

If your service or product can help them grow business in overseas markets…

You might find a new opportunity to grow your business.

What are your thoughts or experiences on this?

🧙‍♂️ My Picks

❤️ My Favorite Thing

  • Yeti Tumbler — It has been my go-to travel mug. I use it at home or outside all the time. Love it!

📚 What I Have Watched

  • 3 Body Problems — I have heard about the novel for a long time, but I didn’t have time to read it. After watching the TV series, I understand why so many people mentioned it before. If you like Sci-Fi, it is definitely worth watching.

Thanks for reading, Be kind, and Enjoy longer daylight☀️!
