Real quotes from Reddit comments that inspired this opportunity

  • I have the feeling (no data here) that there’s Chinese press and influencers that we non-Chinese devs have no easy way to access.
  • I’ve got a list of a dozen Japanese media sites, but I’ve got none for China.
  • The main Chinese social media I know is, like... BiliBili, Douyin, and Xiaohongshu. That's it, LOL.
  • When reaching out to Japanese press would you recommend to translate the outreach & everything additional in the presskit
  • I suspect you might increase your chances if you translate (professionally, not AI) your outreach email
