China: A Cheater In The World Wide Industry?
Author: IT CommentatorAug 2
Their had been so much controversies concerning the products that are “MADE IN CHINA”. As we know, China had been contributing much to our world’s industry from way back to past up to now. If they had been making these products with the same toxic or harmful ingredients since then, why is it that this is the only time that we had discovered this? Have we been fooled by this nation for a very long time? I’m not saying that China really is (or was) a cheat, I’m am just asking for your opinions.
Does Outsourcing To China Hurt Non-manufacturing Workers?

I am an attorney in a field that is not subject to outsourcing like patents or discovery, but I know my salary is lower because of outsourcing to China. When I graduated from high school, everyone was told to go to college because it was impossible to earn a good living without a degree. So everyone went to college. then you realize that a college degree isn’t worth anything because everyone and their brother has one. So then you go to law school, and lo and behold, there are a million lawyers in this country. The result is that I had to spend gargantuan amounts of money and time just to earn the same living as a high school grad 30 years ago.
When I was talking with a coworker about all the jobs that have been lost in this recession, she actually said, “But that’s not your job.” As if the loss of middle class jobs doesn’t drive down everyone’s wages. How sad that people are so clueless and unpatriotic.

What Is The Best Drop Shipping Company To Use For A Home Business?
Author: IT CommentatorAug 2
We recently got a wholesales.com.cn”target=”_blank”title=”" >wholesale drop shipper list. After spending a lot of time reseaching several of these items sold by some of the companies, we are frustrated. The items either aren’t selling on ebay, or there are tons of similar items listed which saturates the listing. The other problem we see is the drop shippers prices are nothing special. Many items are already being sold on ebay for less than the wholeseller is asking. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.
I Want To Import Electronic Products From China, Then How Do I Find My Way To The Manufacturers?
Author: IT CommentatorAug 2
The best way to find suppliers in China is to go there. Check out
Global Sources Trade Show Center – China Sourcing Fairshttp://tradeshow.globalsources.com/TRADE…
Find an electronics show that looks like it meets your needs.
Next, search for suppliers on Alibaba.com and arrange to visit at least half a dozen factories during your trip to China. You must screen the companies you find on Alibaba.com to make sure they are actual manufacturers and not trading companies or outright fraudsters.
If you don’t speak Chinese this will be difficult. Call them on the phone and ask them questions about their business – annual sales, core competencies, main products sold, number of technical and QC staff, R&D capabilities, do you have your own factory or is the product produced somewhere else, etc. If they are able to field these questions well and to your satisfaction, then you MIGHT have yourself a legit company and a viable supplier. The million dollar question is “If I come visit you will I be able to walk through the manufacturing facility and see your production line”. If the answer is anything but a resounding “Yes” followed by a “welcome to visit our factory anytime”, take it as a red flag and move on to the next supplier on the list.
No screening process is effective without in-person vendor visits, either by you or by someone you trust. You need to meet the folks you are going to be sending your hard-earned money to and make sure they are for real, possess the capabilities they claim to have, and that you like them. Shenzhen, near Hong Kong, is home to China’s highest concentration of electronics manufacturers. To make your China visit efficient, try to arrange to visit lots of vendors in and around the Shenzhen – DongGuan – Guangzhou area. You will need at least 10 days to walk the trade show and visit a sufficient number of manufacturers.
At the end of the day, you are ostensibly in the business of selling, marketing, and distributing electronics. Buying direct from overseas is a full-time job in itself. That is not your business. Why not hire someone else who is in the business of sourcing products, identifying the best suppliers, quality control, logistics, import management, etc. and have them manage your purchasing and importing for you? You may pay slightly more per item that you import, but in the long run you will save money, time and resources that would be better spent on growing your customer base and revenue. Also nowadays most sourcing companies make the entire process completely transparent – you have a direct relationship with your supplier and you know the FOB price. What’s more, buying through a “middle” company transfers much risk from you to them – you are buying from a U.S. company instead of a China company. Plus a legitimate sourcing company can extend you credit, such as 30% deposit with balance paid 30 days after delivery.
