Our Mission

At China Directory our mission is to simplify how people discover and evaluate Chinese businesses. We believe transparency, strong data, and location-aware tools empower faster decisions — whether you're sourcing manufacturers, researching partners, or monitoring market trends in China.

What we do

We collect, verify and present company information in a user-friendly format: searchable listings, verified contact details, industry tags, and interactive maps. Our editorial team curates significant business news and analysis to keep professionals informed about developments affecting Chinese markets.

How we verify listings

Our verification combines automated checks and manual review. We check publicly available registries, company websites, and cross-reference multiple sources to reduce outdated or incorrect listings. For high-value suppliers we recommend direct due diligence and offer tips on how to validate partners.

Who benefits

Buyers and importers looking for suppliers, investors researching Chinese firms, service providers expanding into China, and local businesses aiming for exposure all benefit from our directory and map tools.
