In This Episode...
What are the relationships between foreign importers and their Chinese suppliers like in 2020? Have they been negatively affected by the coronavirus pandemic or other reasons?
To find out, we sent a survey to both our Sofeast and QualityInspection.org readers to assess the state of manufacturing in China in 2020.
The results are discussed in this episode. Listen in and you may get some helpful insights that could help you anticipate possible issues that we're seeing occurring this year.
Do any of our findings resonate with what you're seeing from your Chinese suppliers?
