Maria from Denmark wrote a topic as follows which triggered a hot discussion on Chinese suppliers.
http://resources.alibaba.com/topic/2371/CHINESSE_SUPPLIERS_BE_AWARE_.htm
As a local Chinese foreign trade manager with high credit standing, I can assure you that 99% of Chinese suppliers are honest and reliable. China is becoming the so called ' world factory' and ' manufacturing centre' owing to her low labour cost, which benefit billions of people worldwide every year. Countless buyers from worldwide coming to China for business opportunities every year, and some Chinese suppliers have to compete with their counterparts worldwide to meet the regulations of WTO. After China joined WTO in 2001, more and more Chinese suppliers are becoming trustworthy and reliable as they have realized that they have to improve the quality and service to compete with others.
However, some foreign buyers take it for granted that Chinese goods must be very cheap, so they cut down the prices to the least, incredibly low to make themselves profit more. In such cases, some Chinese businessman are forced to cheat you because they profit too less. If you don't have a win-win concept in your mind, you're bound to be cheated in China. There is an old Chinese saying like this: Low price doesn't match high-quality goods.
I totally agree what grigo---An Australian businessman said in a comment. Here is part of his comments on Chinese suppliers.
"Please don't put ALL Chinese Suppliers in one basket. For every BAD one there are MANY good, honest ones.I've been dealing with Chinese Suppliers for over 12 years now, and YES, I TOO got scammed by ONE years ago, (only small amount). Now I am in a position where I have representatives over there (Chinese), who find goods for me of the quality I want, the price I want, and if there were any problems, THEY FIX IT.
One of the BIGGEST problems I have found in my years of travelling over there, watching, listening, observing, is that Westerners almost ALWAYS screw the Chinese Manufacturers down in price. Thus Chinese only have ONE option in order to get the business. THEY CUT DOWN ON QUALITY. Very simple. The old saying - you get what you pay for!
For the sake of a few cents more per item, you CAN get quality. I even get quality goods from them which are SUPERIOR in quality than those made in teh local market. "
So the best solution for avoiding business scammers in China is to find a representative like me and get your Chinese supplier verified, by this way, you can have good cooperation with your Chinese suppliers!
Don't be scared in dealing with Chinese suppliers, I can help you at all times! Come on and you'll profit a lot in the near future!

Dear Friend: I saw your article; I work on a trading company in a small country of South America. As you know, here, the people push and push for the price (finally, I discover your article) "low price low price = low quality". Anyway, I think, if the supplier did not hide the true, he can reply that the the quality will be worst if all the time you are looking for chaep prices. So, which is the option for this kind of poor market? Can you help me?

I would disagree. there are a lot of fraudsters out there and you just have to be careful! I have dealt with many Chinese suppliers and found them to be trustworthy.
Having said that DO NOT DEAL WITH THOMAS LYN ALIAS YUENAN LIN OF TAIGU-ELECTRON - HE IS A CROOK AND HAS BEEN BANNED FROM TRADEKEY. I LOST £200 TO HIM.
If it sounds too good to be true it probably is. By the way Nokia Sirocco's and W950i's are unavailable in China so don't buy any from people who say they will sell them to you! BE CAREFUL!!

Replying to [Foow]:Actually Alibaba did do something my friend. They are touting thieves as honest trustworthy companies, supposedly verified and authenticated by a third company, there by instilling a false sense of security to any new comers. This I feel is unethical!! Dont call it a trust pass if they cant be trusted call it a sucker bet! That would be much more truthful. I am sure that there are hundreds of people who have been scammed in much the same way as I have that would agree with me.

Replying to [CanadianBuyer]:
It's hard for any company to eradicate all the scammers on the globe. On the one hand, no company can visit the member in person one by one. On the other hands, some professional scammers can make enough fake official documents to pass their screening and examinations, esp for the foreign members. For example, it's hard for us to tell a fake document in Arabic language in China.
So the most important is to do enough Due Diligence work before your payment for any order concerned.![[em2]](http://img.alibaba.com/images/eng/style/icon/emoticons_laugh.gif)
