   China is one of the great ancient civilizations of the world; it has its own unique culture, and Chinese characters are the only hieroglyphics in the modern world. On account of the fundamental differences between the Chinese language and alphabetical writing, corresponding translation cannot be correctly realized with current online translation software. Although there are hundreds of millions of Chinese people who have learned English, those who can perfectly use the language number only a few.

   It is a difficult task for a Chinese to search for the definite website in original language among the numerous internet sources. Even if the definite overseas website is found, it is not easy to quite understand what it is all about due to the barriers in language and culture. The value of our website is that we have listed by industry and localized the relevant overseas websites so as to remove ultimately the barriers existed in the communications between the domestic and overseas enterprises and to set up a specialized web platform with international standards.

   We also collect English websites of relevant Chinese enterprises, and facilitate the understanding of Chinese enterprises by overseas counterparts.
