About

Alpha In Asia is a newsletter and archive project that keeps an accurate weekly record of East Asian supply chains and the anime and game industry.

About Alpha In Asia

Alpha In Asia publishes two weekly newsletters. Each follows a fixed set of themes rather than the whole industry, so the same questions can be traced from one issue to the next. Korea and Japan come first, followed by China and Taiwan.

Weekly Supply Chain in Asia tracks memory and HBM, batteries and ESS, power grid and equipment, and defense and shipbuilding.

Weekly Anime & Game in Asia tracks company strategy, indie game marketing, platforms, live-service launches and shutdowns, and IP expansion.

Collecting and translating source articles is automated; each issue is drafted with AI assistance and checked against the original articles by the editor.
