About Business Asia News
What We Cover
Our content spans the full range of Asian business engagement:
Major markets including China, Japan, Korea, India, and the key ASEAN economies. Trade and export mechanics—customs, logistics, documentation, and transaction management. Investment and finance across Asian markets and asset classes. Manufacturing and sourcing—supplier management, quality, and supply chain strategy. Market entry approaches from distribution partnerships to subsidiary establishment. Legal and compliance considerations across Asian jurisdictions. Business culture and the relationship skills that enable success.
Our Perspective
Based in Oxford, we bring a UK and European perspective to Asian business coverage. We understand the questions Western businesses ask about Asian markets and the practical information they need to make decisions. We believe in objective, practical information. Asian business success requires realistic understanding of both opportunities and challenges. We aim to inform rather than promote, helping you make decisions based on accurate assessment rather than hype or fear.

What We Believe
Your expertise is valuable. Years of education, training, and experience have developed capabilities that organisations need. But expertise alone doesn’t build a successful practice.
1
Strategy Before Design
The most important website decisions happen before anyone opens design software. Clarity about goals, audience, and success metrics shapes everything that follows.
2
Websites Should Pay for Themselves
A business website isn’t an expense — it’s an investment that should generate returns. If your website isn’t contributing to business growth, something needs to change.

Good Agencies Want Informed Clients
The best agency relationships happen when clients understand enough to participate meaningfully in decisions. Informed clients get better outcomes.
From Our Contributors
“After twenty years building websites for clients, I can tell you the biggest factor in project success isn’t the agency’s skill — it’s the client’s clarity about what they actually need.”
“We rebuilt our website three times in five years before we finally got it right. The difference? We finally started with strategy instead of jumping to design.”
“Most business owners have never been taught how to evaluate a web proposal or manage an agency relationship. They’re making six-figure decisions with consumer-level knowledge.”
“Every professional I know who built a successful practice did it through relationships. Not cold outreach or advertising, but genuine relationships built over time.”
