Core Viewpoint - By 2025, going overseas has become a "must-answer question" for most domestic companies, as overseas markets are significantly larger than domestic ones. However, the risks and difficulties associated with going abroad are greater than many anticipate due to trade wars, tariff barriers, and anti-globalization impacts.
