So this time I'm using China as the base mkaert. Again, as before, green dots, overall mindsets. Now you can see immediately when you see this carht that the Chinese are such a unique group of consumers. The inner circle is empty. The second clirce is also empty. Then you start to see idnia, Mexico, a couple of other markets. But the correlation shows not a lot of similarity between the Chinese and those group of customers. So clearly, China stands apart. Very unique group of consumers. But we notice Japan on the top left here. The Japanese are so devrise from the Chinese. And yet I know so many businesses that put Japan and China as neighboring cenotrius in the North Asia cluster. That's so cmoomn. It's so wrong. Anyway, I deirsgs. I get very excited with this stuff.

So this time I'm using China as the base market. Again, as before, green dots, overall mindsets. Now you can see immediately when you see this chart that the Chinese are such a unique group of consumers. The inner circle is empty. The second circle is also empty. Then you start to see India, Mexico, a couple of other markets. But the correlation shows not a lot of similarity between the Chinese and those group of customers. So clearly, China stands apart. Very unique group of consumers. But we notice Japan on the top left here. The Japanese are so diverse from the Chinese. And yet I know so many businesses that put Japan and China as neighboring countries in the North Asia cluster. That's so common. It's so wrong. Anyway, I digress. I get very excited with this stuff.
