I have a question: how can I check with their goverment if the company exist?
Thanks for your time.
You can find the buyer name on alibaba.com or yahoo.com to check having this company name information first,
If do not have this company name /information, this importer is 100% small company or not in exist.
It's impossible for the small company to put large order 1st time. You told him trial order for beginning
and insist on T/T in advance basis. when 1st business is success then talk again the further big order.
If the China importer push you to go China to sign the Contract (it's false) you will not only lost your time
and money to China and sometime you may rubbed by those guy.
Best way to have Chinese friends with you when you are in China to doing foreign trade with the China importer in 1st time.
This is my suggestion for your reference.

If you do not have cash on handThey will bring you to department store to buy high value giftUsually amount about RMB 15,000.00-RMB25,000)and stated that if you wanted to T/T the money ASAP then need to give their General manager/Accounting executive, etcto settle the contract. and T/T to you within few days.
