  • Best podcast on manufacturing in China!

    I’ve listened to a few podcasts on manufacturing in China and this is the best one I’ve found. I’ve listened to every episode. They have many years of experience across multiple industries so they know their stuff. They are very thorough in the information they cover and what someone needs to know if they are a buyer, importer, or a company looking to manufacture products in China. They cover a lot of topics from dealing with the Chinese New Years to NDAs to quality audits.
