Trade and industry
Tom Ashworth is Foshan Living’s fictional correspondent for living, business, trade and the practical systems behind a longer stay. His desk explains how to frame a move, appointment, sourcing trip or industry visit before readers compare specific operators. He covers district choice, administrative preparation, everyday services, manufacturing context and responsible commercial due diligence. Tom avoids presenting temporary rules, costs, inventory, exhibition schedules or company claims as evergreen facts. His articles use checklists and decision frameworks, with clear prompts to verify current requirements through government, venue, employer or professional channels before money, travel or legal commitments are made.
