Over the last ten years, China has moved most of its trading online.

Sourcing products and services from China

For the last 40 years, China has built up its manufacturing base to be one of the most successful in the world.

In recent years, the growth of the Chinese domestic consumer market has increased imports from overseas of high-quality products. In turn, this has driven up the quality of locally produced products. Today, China is moving towards better quality products.

Lower-quality products are moving to other Asian countries.

The global issues, starting with the virus in early 2020 and continuing today with conflicts around the world, resulted in a rethinking of supply chains. The repatriation of manufacturing back to your country using China's production know-how is an option for consideration.

Automatic translation

Automated translation into Chinese checklist

When reading information, you will assume that the contents have been written by the author and not an automatic translation program. Given that automatic translation is often inadequate, this will reflect poorly on the internet site author.

Most browsers for the last five years have built into browsers an option to translate internet site content.

Chinese people often use automatic translation software to read foreign internet contents, reports, etc. In doing so, they know that the translation will not be 100% correct, and therefore, errors are not attributed to the author.

Chinese engineers have been developing translation software, mainly English, the first foreign language in China, into Chinese. In our thinking, Chinese translation software is ahead of the market in translation English to Chinese.

Not having your internet contents translated into Chinese is not issue provided;

Do not use automatic translation
