2.3.7 Chinese Embassies and Foreign Embassies中国大使馆和外国大使馆

In sourcing trade leads,don’t forget we have Motherland behind us.Logging onto the website of the Ministry of Commerce,you’ll find China has set up 215 economic and commercial counselor’s officesaround the world under her embassies.[3]Probably no business is capable of weaving such a vast and widespread net around the world.And one of their most important functions is to serve economy and trading between Chinese businesses and the host country.Many websites of Counselor’s Offices maintain a column for posting local business information,such as local procurement needs or calls for bid.You can contact them for more information,have your products registered with them or even send a pamphlet of your products to the counselor’s office,which not only increase the exposure of your products but also help the counselors’ work.

By the same token,many countries may send state-sponsored or controlled import agents in other countries for buying in bulk.They actively look for suppliers,like you.They may publish the information through their embassies in the target countries.Once you have identified your target countries for export,contact local embassies of those countries in China to get a list of these agents.Some of them are pretty proactive.
