Practical guides for doing business in China
Sourcing, supplier verification, factory tours, the Canton Fair, trade shows, corporate events and the cities where the work actually happens.
Written from the ground in China — what we learn running delegations, factory visits and corporate programmes for international companies. No theory, no filler.
Eight topics, all from the ground in China
Every guide comes out of real work — delegations we ran, factories we walked, fairs we worked. New articles are published regularly.
Sourcing
Finding the right Chinese suppliers, comparing quotes, and what to check before you commit.
Supplier Verification
Background checks, factory audits, and how to tell a real manufacturer from a trading company.
Factory Tours
How to plan a productive factory visit — what to ask, what to look at, what to bring home.
Canton Fair
Phases, halls, timing, badges and how to actually work the fair instead of just walking it.
Trade Shows
Which shows matter in your industry, when they run, and how to prepare for them.
Corporate Events
Meetings, conferences, incentive travel and venue sourcing in Chinese cities.
Destinations
City guides for business — industries, companies, trade shows, sights and food.
Doing Business in China
Visas, payments, logistics, etiquette and the practical details nobody tells you.
Reading is one thing. Being here is another.
Tell us your industry, goals and dates — we'll build a verified, productive itinerary and run it end to end on the ground in China.
