Don't most markets have their own local apps/sites that are more popular than foreign ones? I think Kakao is more popular in Korea than Whatsapp. In Russia Yandex is bigger than Google. In China everything is bigger because the foreign apps are banned. > If you want to win a foreign market, you have to ensure that you meet their needs. This is just Business 101. Beating the locals at their own game is just Business 101? Seems like an arrogant attitude.

> Beating the locals at their own game is just Business 101? Seems like an arrogant attitude. When you recast the quote in different words, I suppose. But do you refute that you "have to ensure you've met [your market's] needs"? Is it better to ignore the market's needs instead? That seems more arrogant to me.
