Nowadays Chinese government is frastrated with reports of scandals of poisioned food, tained toys and other non safety products and equipments exported to the world market. As a Chinese who is involved in the foreign import export business mainly distributing to our foreign buyers, I fell very sorry and am embarrased by these real scandals.
Why these terrible things or scandals happened to some of the buyers and why other buyers can choose the right quality and safefy equipments or products at very attractive price. The answer is that they should double check the quality by themself or its trusted purchasing agent. And they buyers or the purchasing agent should inspect the facility, certificates, visit the producers customer to get credentials, and ask some of the reputable Chinese companies to give them opinions on the potential buyers.
We have experience to locate the right produers thanks to our long term of experience of purchasing for our own projects contracted around the world, and fully informed about the standards in the foreign market. And we have the purchsaing power among the reputable producers, from who we have repeated buying, and the reputable providers or Chinese producers, usually from the same Ministry of Machinery and Electric Industry for around 50 years, the producers would not and dare not to provide fake, or lower quality products or equipments to us. They know they we can recognize them if they tried to do so, and if they really did so, they would lose long term order and will be ousted from the reputable Chinese producer club, to which many Chinese producers have been making efforts to keep inside the club. The most reputabble prime contractors such s Chinacables, or CMEC usually only purchase equipments from producers inside the club.
I can certainly say that most of the tainted or unsafe products or equipments are produced by samll enterpirses invested by small businesses, who usually claim that they the large guys in China, if you have a purchasing agent like us, we will recognize them at a glance. |
