Just thought I'd add to your info.
I'm from the States but have had my companies in china for quite a long time now.
alibaba and
ALL b2b sites are a joke!!
aliaba, even though they say a company (gold member) is a mnfctr., it's not neccessarily true. About 85% of the
"so-called" mnfctrs. are actually trading co's.
It really sucks. I do business the old fashion way and cold call and do regular mail to find my potential customers. jack ma, owner of alibaba, is a smart cookie. But only cares about the $$$.
BTW - it was Yahoo ( china ) that invested in alibaba, not the 'real' yahoo of America or the U.K., etc.
