# Asia-Pacific markets (ex-mainland China)
Mainland A-shares are a separate skill (`fin-china`). Everything here is the rest of the region, where
the libraries are thinner and the market-structure differences are larger.
**Two verdicts up front:** outside Korea, **no free Asian source gives a survivorship-bias-free
universe**, and **only J-Quants and TEJ offer genuine point-in-time fundamentals**. `ib_async` is the
practical cross-market execution answer.
