China and Japan have over the years become a paradise for international buyers. China is the world's workshop, the world's supermarket, and Japan attracts buyers for its culture, food, innovation and technology.

Over the years, the relationship between buyers and suppliers has become increasingly intimate. Indeed, the time has come to reduce the supplier panel to favour a cooperative relationship.
