For most people, this question woud have an extremely obvious answer, cost. You wouldn't be wrong. Sourcing from China offers you the chance to find products of all kinds from raw materials to processed products and manufactured items. Obviously, sourcing from China is not the best option for every company, but for those who find China suits theirsourcing needs, it can be a huge cost saver.

Due to it's huge size and population, China is almost guaranteed to have a factory that specialises in almost anything you can think of. If you need toothpicks, you can find them here. If you're looking for somewhere that produces Barium Hydroxide, it's done in China. If you want to buy printed stationery, you can get it in China. The list is almost endless, but what products you can get in China are almost invariably cheaper and of equivalent quality to those in most other countries.

As a warning, quality is often an issue that comes up when dealing with Chinese companies. China's low costs can mean quality is not a high priority for many companies. Be careful not to simply buy something at the cheapest price, instead, you should be careful to screen and ask for samples to check first. You can find products of excellent quality in China if you know where to look and that's where we come in.
