Why API Reselling vs Official Direct Access?

The Three Barriers

Chinese AI model providers present three challenges for international developers:

1. **Payment** — WeChat/Alipay only, no credit cards

2. **Connectivity** — Unreliable from overseas

3. **Support** — Chinese language, no SLA

We handle payment with Stripe (cards accepted worldwide)

We run servers in US-West + Singapore for low latency

English support with 24/7 response

For developers outside China: absolutely. The cost savings + reliability make it a clear win.
