Asia Agent introduces new monthly service tiers—Quarter-Time, Part-Time, and Full-Time—giving international brands direct access to factory support, quality control, legal assistance, and boots-on-the-ground teams in Asia's top sourcing hubs.
Singapore - May 30, 2025 - Asia Agent, the go-to partner for direct, transparent manufacturing across Asia, has announced the launch of its new tiered monthly support packages—designed to give international brands full control over their production in Vietnam, India, Indonesia, Bangladesh, and China.
The new model offers three service tiers — Quarter-Time ($595), Part-Time ($995), and Full-Time ($1,795) — enabling companies of any size to afford real, boots-on-the-ground support in the region's top manufacturing hubs.
'We've seen too many brands fly blind — working through middlemen, getting stuck in trading companies, and losing money through poor communication, slow production, and bad quality,' said Eldad Shashua, Chief Strategy Officer at Asia Agent. 'This is about giving brands back their control. No commissions, no hidden fees. Just your own team on the ground.'
Why It Matters Now
With tariffs, supply chain instability, and rising China costs, many brands are scrambling to transition out of China — but doing it without local support is a gamble. These monthly packages give clients the power to:
Every package includes access to local project managers, quality control officers, legal support, and Asia Agent's full operational infrastructure.
One Flat Monthly Fee, Full Transparency
Asia Agent's monthly plans are intentionally simple: clients pay a flat monthly rate for a set number of support hours. There are no markups on orders, no fees per container, and no conflicts of interest.
The company emphasizes that all services are fully client-aligned: 'We never represent the factory. We only work for you.'
Now Supporting All Major Asian Hubs
With fully operational teams in Vietnam, India, Indonesia, Bangladesh, and China, the packages offer both stability for current operations and flexibility to expand or shift production.

AI Talent Pipeline: How Nations Compete In The Global AI Race
The artificial intelligence revolution is often framed as a clash of algorithms and infrastructure, but its true battleground lies in the minds shaping it – the AI talent. While nations vie for technological supremacy, the real contest revolves around human capital-who educates, retains, and ethically deploys the brightest minds. This deeper struggle, unfolding across universities, immigration offices, and corporate labs, beneath the surface of flashy model releases and geopolitical posturing, will determine whether AI becomes a force for equitable progress or a catalyst for deeper global divides. China's educational machinery is producing graduates at an unprecedented scale. In 2024, approximately 11.79 million students graduated from Chinese universities, an increase of 210,000 from the previous year, with around 1.6 million specializing in engineering and technology in 2022. By comparison, the United States produces far fewer graduates (around 4.1 million overall in 2022), with only 112,000 graduating with computer and information science degrees. This numerical advantage is reshaping the global talent landscape. According to MacroPolo's Global AI Talent Tracker, China has expanded its domestic AI talent pool significantly, with the percentage of the world's top AI researchers originating from China (based on undergraduate degrees) rising from 29% in 2019 to 47% in 2022. However, the United States remains "the top destination for top-tier AI talent to work," hosting approximately 60% of top AI institutions. Despite this, America's approach to talent faces structural challenges. The H-1B visa cap, which limits skilled foreign workers, is 'set at 65,000 per fiscal year, with an additional 20,000 visas for those with advanced U.S. degrees'. This constraint affects the tech industry's ability to recruit globally. This self-imposed constraint forces companies like Google and Microsoft to establish research centers in Toronto and London – a technological offshoring driven not by cost but by talent access. Europe's predicament completes this global triangle of talent misallocation. The continent invests heavily in AI education – ETH Zurich and Oxford produce world-class specialists-only to watch a significant number board one-way flights to California, lured by higher salaries and cutting-edge projects. This exodus potentially creates a vicious cycle: fewer AI experts means fewer competitive startups, which means fewer reasons for graduates to stay – a continental brain drain that undermines Europe's digital sovereignty. As AI permeates daily life, a quieter conflict emerges: balancing innovation with ethical guardrails. Europe's GDPR has levied huge fines since 2018 for data misuse, such as the $1.3 billion imposed on Meta for transferring EU citizens' data to the US without adequate safeguards, while China's surveillance networks track citizens through 626 million CCTV cameras. U.S. giant Apple was recently fined $95 million amid claims they were spying on users over a decade-long period. These divergent approaches reflect fundamentally different visions for AI's role in society. 'AI is a tool, and its values are human values. That means we need to be responsible developers as well as governors of this technology-which requires a framework,' argues Fei-Fei Li, Stanford AI pioneer. Her call for ethical ecosystems contrasts sharply with China's state-driven model, where AI development aligns with national objectives like social stability and economic planning. The growing capabilities of AI raise significant questions about the future of work. Andrew Ng, co-founder of Google Brain, observes: 'AI software will be in direct competition with a lot of people for a lot of jobs.' McKinsey estimates that 30% of U.S. jobs could be automated by 2030, but impacts will vary wildly. According to the WEF Future of Jobs Report 2025, 'on average, workers can expect that two-fifths (39%) of their existing skill sets will be transformed or become outdated over the 2025-2030 period.' The report goes on to state that, 'the fastest declining roles include various clerical roles, such as cashiers and ticket clerks, alongside administrative assistants and executive secretaries, printing workers, and accountants and auditors.' These changes are accelerated by AI and information processing technologies, as well as an increase in digital access for businesses. The panic that could be caused by these figures is palpable, but some are arguing that the real challenge isn't job loss – it's ensuring that displaced workers can transition to new roles. Countries investing in vocational AI training, like Germany's Industry 4.0 initiative, could potentially achieve smoother workforce transitions. By 2030, China could reverse its brain drain through initiatives like the Thousand Talents Plan, which has already repatriated over 8,000 scientists since 2008. If successful, this repatriation could supercharge domestic innovation while depriving Western labs of critical expertise. Europe's stringent AI Act may inadvertently cede ground to less regulated regions. Businesses could potentially start self-censoring AI projects to avoid EU compliance costs, with complexity, risk governance, data governance and talent listed as the 4 major challenges facing EU organisations in light of this Act, according to McKinsey. They went further to state that only 4% of their survey respondents thought that the requirements of the EU AI Act were even clear. This could create an innovation vacuum, pushing experimental AI development to jurisdictions with less stringent oversight. Breakthroughs in quantum computing could reshape talent flows. IBM's Condor and China's Jiuzhang 3.0 are vying to crack quantum supremacy, with the winner likely attracting a new wave of specialists. 'We need to make the world quantum-ready today by focusing on education and workforce development,' according to Alessandro Curioni, vice-president at IBM Research Europe. A recent WEF report on quantum technologies warns that, 'demand for experts is outpacing available talent and companies are struggling to recruit people in this increasingly competitive and strategic industry.' An IBM quantum data center dpa/picture alliance via Getty Images The focus on human talent suggests a more nuanced understanding of AI development – one that values creative problem-solving and ethical considerations alongside technical progress. "I think the future of global competition is, unambiguously, about creative talent," explains Vivienne Ming, executive chair and co-founder of Socos Labs. 'Everyone will have access to amazing AI. Your vendor on that will not be a huge differentiator. Your creative talent though-that will be who you are.' Similarly, Silvio Savarese, executive vice president and chief scientist at Salesforce AI Research, believes: 'AI is placing tools of unprecedented power, flexibility and even personalisation into everyone's hands, requiring little more than natural language to operate. They'll assist us in many parts of our lives, taking on the role of superpowered collaborators.' The employment landscape for AI talent faces complex challenges. In China, the record graduating class of 11.8 million students in 2024 confronts a difficult job market, with youth unemployment in urban areas at 18.8% in August, the highest for the year. These economic realities are forcing both countries to reconsider how they develop, attract, and retain AI talent. The competition isn't just about who can produce or attract the most talent – it's about who can create environments where that talent can thrive and innovate responsibly. The AI race transcends technical capabilities and infrastructure. While computing power, algorithms, and data remain important, human creativity, ethics, and talent ultimately determine how AI will shape our future. As nations compete for AI dominance, they must recognize that sustainable success requires nurturing not just technical expertise but also creative problem-solving and ethical judgment – skills that remain distinctly human even as AI capabilities expand. In this regard success isn't about which nation develops the smartest algorithms, but which creates environments where human AI talent can flourish alongside increasingly powerful AI systems. This human element may well be the deciding factor in who leads the next phase of the AI revolution.
