Where is international entrepot trade more common?
I'm very interested in international entrepot trade and would like to know, on a global scale, where there are relatively mature international entrepot trades. Are they port cities like Singapore and Hong Kong, or are there other places with outstanding advantages as well? I hope to have a detailed understanding of what the advantages of these places in conducting international entrepot trade are, such as policies, geographical conditions, etc., so that it is convenient for me to consider the subsequent business layout.
