Having a platform summarizing all the tricks and problems that overseas trading platforms have come across that would be good. Also regular ranking trust worthy partners would be good. Doing biz at China requires much more experience which if there is a platform summarizing the handon experience would be good

Not bad… I think its a good resource for anyone looking to start sourcing from China. This is a complex place with lots of considerations to be made before-hand. Wonder what the 5th stage would be…?

Ralph, thanks for commenting. That is a good question that deserves a good answer, give me some time to draft a real response and look for it soon. Also, apologies for taking a day to publish your comment, it was lost in a flood of spam bot comments and we are currently working on a new captcha technology since our active one has been cracked!

Hi David , thanks a lot for your sharing of the BCG article.
The four stages mentioned of sourcing in China really makes great
sense,actually now our company(an European buying alliance started China sourcing 3 years before) is still on stage 2 ..
If possible,could you give some opinions about E-sourcing application on different satge of the 4 ?
Thanks and have a nice day!
