Access to China — Information Hub

Practical guidance for overseas businesses working with China.

Explore the article collections for being seen, being found, and starting to trade in China.


Focus: China internet + trading Audience: overseas businesses Updated regularly

How this hub is organised

The Access to China information library is organised into three practical collections. Each collection reflects how Chinese users, platforms, and regulations actually work.

Start with reliability (being seen), move to discovery (being found), and then build the trading model and operations (start trading).

Practical takeaway: Start with “Being seen”, then “Being found”, and only then focus on trading.

Access to China information hub

Most ‘China problems’ are technical and structural, not marketing-related.

Quick guidance

Use these checks to keep trust and usability high.

  • Can your site load fully inside mainland China (no blocked resources)?
  • Are you using third‑party services that are slow or blocked in China?
  • Does your structure work inside WeChat’s in‑app browser?
  • Do you understand ICP and China hosting rules for public sites?
  • Have you chosen the correct trading model (B2B, B2C, e‑Mall, distributor)?
Note: “Looking Chinese” is not the goal. Trust comes from consistency, authenticity, and a smooth mobile experience.
