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

✅ The sourcing system top-performing companies use—to qualify suppliers, prevent missteps, and launch with confidence 

✅ Why "just find a supplier" is a dangerous myth—and how to build a real sourcing strategy that saves time, money, and sanity

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

✅ Why most sourcing issues aren’t about cost—they’re about control—and how to reclaim it

We present the result from decades of hands-on sourcing experience across Europe and Asia, Fortune 500 firms and scrappy startups alike.
