Discussion
"Reach for China". What you may want to do, is first post this
in the English-only forum, to get other opinions on a good English
motto. Then you can return here for the Japanese translation.
Though omitting the preposition "for", somehow makes it sound
as if the goal is simply to 'arrive' in China, the tradeoff for the sake
of brevity may be worthwhile. I had in mind...
like your company's motto. It's amateurish, broken English.
I strongly suggest nailing the English part first. Just as an
example: "Reach for China, reach for success!"
