Competition
There are loads of information on China and Asia, its history, its culture and its manners, both on paper and on the internet. What makes Asiancustoms.eu stand out is not only that all information making its way to the platform is controlled by native experts, but also that data are easily accessible through a concise, directly usable format and that checklists of do’s and don’ts offer on the spot practical assistance. The competitors’ information is often way too general, too long or slightly off the mark because it’s not provided by natives. It is the format of this information that makes it hard to share in a practical manner, which in no way reflects on the value of the information itself.
