China Insights Ground Level. COVID19


COVID-19 has caused major global issues, delay supply chain, USD fluctuations, countries reliant on economic relationships (China) to name a few. What I have learnt from history, this crisis will born a stronger China, resilient, durable and united.

On the ground I experience a strength from bottom up, the people are doing their best to work through this time, the labour force is making their way back to factories, children are going online for education, foreign friends are teaching kids through online apps, genuinely missing their students and doing their best to support the kids. There is much more.

My clients are Asia Pacific, its their busy period sending me orders, instructions and are highly motivated. My hand-picked suppliers are servicing my needs from their homes, while most management returned last week, they have been working with me throughout Chinese New Year’s.

While it will take time to normalise, my factories are very keen to get going.

My role is conducting due diligence, to produce clients comparative report, instruct factories, quality control, logistics and freight China to port.

The comparative report is designed to short list the very best of all China, I do place value on their attitude to work hard 10-14 hours 6-7 days/wk places them at the top of my list. I don’t make it easy for Chinese suppliers to work with me, they like myself have to prove our worth to each other. Gone are the days to do business, where we must eat, go to karaoke bars, or get drunk, if this is the case? I’m not interested.
