Practical Q&A on buying from China

Real questions overseas buyers ask about working with China — answered straight, with the practical detail that actually changes a decision.

The aim isn’t only to answer today’s question, but the ones that come up later — so you can sidestep the avoidable mistakes and the rushed decisions before they happen.
Does flying to China speed things up?
A site visit can settle things in an hour — but speed comes from knowing what to check, not from being there. Why control decides the result, not travel.
Do you have to fly to China yourself?
Flying to China yourself isn’t required. Controlling the buying process on the ground is. Why control matters more than presence in China sourcing.
