China Product Outsourcing: Everything You Need to Know

In Recommended Import from China Blogs, Fredrik Grönkvis, an experienced China sourcing agent, cites to two China blogs he reads “on an almost daily basis” and highlights posts from those two blogs he sees as critical for outsourcing from China. The two blogs are this one and Quality Inspection Blog, of which I too am a big fan.

Here is what Fredrik has to say:

China Law Blog. It’s amazing these guys hasn’t written a book yet. Though Chinalawblog.com is not focused only on importing (it covers a ton of China business related topics) it’s still a must read for anyone sourcing from China. Below I list a few posts you should read:

• • Antidotes to Chinese Negotiating Tactics
  • A Practical Guide to Choosing Your China Manufacturer
  • Doing Business with China: Peng Shuai and Your Reputation Risks

Quality Inspection Blog. This blog is focused on China importing and QC. Nobody makes AQL and QC as easy to understand as these guys. These are the posts you should read today:

• • Best Practices For Importers.
  • Who is your best contact in Chinese factories?
  • Difficulties of foreign companies sourcing products in China.
  • The small buyer’s dilemma in China.

The above are great lists of what to read for practical help on China outsourcing. Anyone have anything to add?
