dealing with Chinese company always a black hole...even if you go down personally to check the factory / company - there are always chances of it being a bogus.

what i usu do:

a) ask for their clients
b) check with their clients for their testimonies
c) arrange for visit to see their companies / factories on site - and when you are there, be alert for any bogus / fishy signs.

Very difficult, they may have web site showing the factory. Can't really be trusted. too many cons here.

there should be chinese govt ministry websites for us to check on the companies profile.
i tot it is http://english.mofcom.gov.cn/ ministry of commerce china but it wasnt.
:(

bro...we r tokking abt China...check? LOL

factory can just disappear in 24hours...or register under various baffling names...or just a bogus or data not updated...

some more...chinese officials are not exactly the most straight fellows around.

trust ur own eyes or if you have someone trusty on the ground, ask them do the legwork for you - can save you alot of trouble later.

Bro nf,

To be absolutely sure, best check with the local taxation authorities or local 工商局 directly.


hi there


1. such bureau would not release any single detail on the co in question.
2. unless the individual "buys" it from a 3rd party.
3. honest, it does not work going through the so-called "channels".
4. hyper frustrating and time-consuming.

Provided the ah tiong company agree.

hi there


1. you can also engage a renowned and reputable local law firm to do it for you.
2. there are many foreign investors doing that too.
3. or else, you can buy the required "internal" info from someone inside.
