About

Practical manufacturing intelligence for industrial buyers.

China Supply Intelligence helps industrial buyers understand how Chinese suppliers price, operate, and make decisions.

It is written from the perspective of a finance professional with over a decade of experience in automotive components manufacturing in China — someone who has reviewed hundreds of supplier quotations across forging, stamping, and assembly processes, and who has sat on both sides of the procurement table: managing supplier cost negotiations internally and auditing supplier quotations for accuracy and completeness.

The goal is not to tell you which supplier to choose. It is to help you ask better questions before you make that decision yourself.
