Not even Uber was able to succeed in the Chinese market
Due to a combination of cultural differences and regulations designed specifically to hinder foreign companies, it’s very difficult for Western companies to operate in China.

More information on the Nintendo NX has been leaked
Interesting, but not necessarily appealing. That’s a description you could use for just about every piece of Nintendo hardware that’s been released in the last decade, and it looks like the Nintendo NX won’t be any different.

Why is Line listed on both an American and Japanese stock market?
Line hasn’t found much success here in the West, which is why it might seem odd that the company decided to list itself on the New York Stock Exchange before listing itself on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, but it makes sense when you think about it.
