I'm not sure about the variety of Japanese products in Korea or Mainland China (both 220V). Japanese manufacturers seem to have a larger market share in Hong Kong since Korea and China have strong local industries and are therefore less dependent on imports.

^^ You mean Hong Kong AND Singapore. But of course, HK is better in the sense that there's no GST at all.
