The 7 Deadly Sins of Sourcing from China – And How to Avoid Them
A Webinar by Hartmut Dr. Voss and Lisa (Xiaofan) Zhang
About this Webinar
Sourcing from China should give you a competitive edge—not headaches, delays, or disappearing deposits.
But if
- you’ve ever been ghosted by a Chinese supplier,
- overpromised and underdelivered,
- or burned by vague quotes and costly miscommunication
you’re not alone.
This webinar is based on our new book and will walk you through the 7 most common—and expensive—sourcing mistakes. And it shows you how to turn your China supply chain into a competitive weapon.
Inside This Free Webinar You’ll Discover:
✅ The importance of purchasing in China - today and in the future
✅ The seven deadly sins of sourcing from China - and how to avoid them

✅ How to communicate across cultures—and build trust with Chinese suppliers even if you don’t speak the language
