Redwood has developed very positive relationships and partnerships with related departments of local government, industry associations, leading financial media, financial organizations, and insurance organizations. It has built regional cooperation teams throughout China, which include but are not limited to local legal and accounting firms that further expand the company's network with diversified information access. Redwood has also established long-term relationships with many information database platforms, which broadens its search database.
