Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Step 1

Go to Alibaba.com. Alibaba.com is an enormous website based in China. It specializes in being a business-to-business marketplace. It has over 3,500 employees and members in over 200 countries. On their homepage, you can browse their site by categories to find the category that bests suites your interest. Alibaba.com was founded in 1999 and is now one of the largest websites of its kind.
Step 2

Find information on buying and selling quality Chinese products at Tdctrade.com. Once you are on their homepage, click on "Sourcing" in their top navigation panel. On the next page, you can begin to search their directory of over 100,000 suppliers. You can browse by region or category. You can also look to see when the latest tradeshows will be taking place. You can contact Tdctrade.com via email at hktdc@tdc.org.hk.
Step 3

Surf to Globalsources.com to find more business opportunities in China. Once you are on their homepage, scroll down to the bottom and click on "China Suppliers" near the bottom. On the next page you can find a directory of the top Chinese suppliers listed by category. You can also use the site's search feature to find the exact opportunity that you are looking for.
Step 4

Choose the business opportunity in China that most interests you; however, before you proceed too far along, contact an attorney to go over any paperwork. Since you will most likely be dealing with individuals or companies in a foreign country, your legal recourse won't be as strong as it would be dealing with an American company.
