To us Westerners, Chinese New Year is often seen as the same everywhere, in any Asian country with Lunar Calendar, and to be honest it is not completely wrong! The general atmosphere is similar no matter if you celebrate it in China, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore or Vietnam.

Of all the inspections I’ve reviewed and observed, two in particular stand out to me: a shipment of lanyards bound for the US, and a shipment of portable slow cookers bound for the EU. These inspections are interesting both for their similarities and their differences, and they point to some important trends in the ever-changing landscape of quality control in China. 

During China fairs we meet dozens of foreign buyers who say that they manage quality control by themselves and usually fly to China in order to visit their pre-selected factory. However is it always the best choice to have your own representatives visit the production and will you actually get a good understanding of the manufacturing process and factory capacities while arranging the visit? What do you need to take into account when planning a trip to China and how to get the most of efficiency out of the planned trip?

Let us share you a story that recently happened to one of our inspectors with a supplier trying to cheat us and our customer.

This specific story happened in Vietnam few weeks ago. But frankly speaking similar stories also happened in every other country where V-Trust already operates no matter it’s in Vietnam, China, Cambodia, India or Bangladesh.

Have you ever joined inspections of your products, conducted by a 3rd party QC company? You can get a better picture of the process or situation if you actually become a part of it.

Do you realize? You may be putting yourself at a higher risk of losing money to fraud when you decide to buy products like A4 copy paper, aluminum or copper wire scrap. In China, most of such trade scams take place in the areas of Hebei and Tianjin.
