Newsletter: Asian Husbands Better Reply To Their Chat Apps, or Else

Dear Global Business Enthusiast,

Michael Michelini (@michelini) here. You’re getting this email because you requested my periodic thoughts on international business from Hong Kong.

[Edit: Actually, it’s possible that you’ve never gotten an email from me. Somebody might have just given you the link to this page, which is an online archive of an email that I sent to folks who had asked for it. If you’d like to get articles like this in your inbox, totally free, about once a week or two, give me your email address.]
This week: China loves America, Apply Pay China Battle, 25k magic bra, and more!

I’m calming down after a hyper few weeks on the road and conferences. Met Gary Vee last week (photo was epic) now I am back building the Global From Asia empire and glad to have you here with me. I do appreciate you, thanks for reading.

Hong Kong Losing to Singapore
When companies seek business opportunities in Asia, Singapore and HK seem like are top two choices to consider. As HK tightens the bank applications and making it is harder for startups to set up their bank account, Singapore seems to be leading it by taking a proactive approach. I am starting to think about in 10 years time , who will win the game? HK or Singapore? Tell me your pick!
And Singapore leading the way again
