Asian free market websites

I personally know most of the leaders of the free market think tanks and groups in Asia. Some of these groups do not have websites yet though.

This afternoon, I checked with alexa.com the global traffic rank (out of possibly a billion or more blogs and websites worldwide) of the websites of my friends. Here they are.

This is not a complete list. There may be other free market think tanks and groups in our continent that I am not aware of. Besides, some of those groups and think tanks that I know do not have websites yet, or acquiring a new website after encountering some problems with their old sites.

Unlike in North America and Europe where there are plenty of liberty- and free market-oriented think tanks, groups and publications, there are just a few in Asia. But nonetheless, these groups and individuals are showing their presence, expressing their views, in our respective countries and the rest of the world wide web.
