In Chinese culture, the dragon is a powerful and revered symbol, associated with strength, power and good fortune. According to popular belief, people born in the Year of the Dragon are often perceived as bold, ambitious and intelligent.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s therefore a good time to dare to undertake <strong>new projects<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#254b72\"><strong>What impact will it have on your purchases in Asia?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Chinese New Year has a considerable influence on commercial activities in Asia, as factories, suppliers and transport services often close at this time, which can cause delays in orders and shipments.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>As purchasing in Asia can be affected during this period, EASTWISE can help you plan ahead to avoid potential problems.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#254b72\"><strong>Our advice for your business<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To avoid any delays, here are a few precautions to take:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Plan your purchases in advance<\/strong>: anticipate deadlines and make sure you place your orders early enough to avoid delays due to temporary closures of factories and logistics services.
