Primary Evidence

"“Fifteen years ago, 50% of internet users were Americans. Asians were 19%. However, five years from now, Americans will be 12% of the internet population, and Asians will be 50%. (ellipsis) Until now, you could not become the number one internet company without being an American company. Companies like Google, Amazon, Yahoo US, and eBay—all American companies. In other words, if 50% of users were American, naturally, it would evolve into an English website with a business model suited to American lifestyles. So, Americans had the advantage of location. But from now on, Asians will become 50% of the internet population. In just five years. Already, Chinese internet users have surpassed Americans. 50% will be centered on China and Asia, with Americans becoming 12%. In this sense, we precisely gained the advantage of location. If we obtain the opportuneness of Heaven and the advantage of location, we must act.”"

"“Fifteen years ago, Americans comprised 50% of the internet population. Asians made up 19% back then. (Omitted) Until now, only American companies could be number one on the internet. Google, Amazon, Yahoo US, eBay, etc., all those were American companies, right? Since 50% of the customers, the users, were Americans, naturally, the website would be in English, with a business model suited to American lifestyles. Hence, Americans had the advantage of the land.”"
