China Industry associations directory

The industry association websites are definitely worth visiting both for overseas buyers and sellers. You can find the following information on the website of industry associations:
a. industry regulation and policy
c. publications where you can find reliable suppliers and advertise to reach potential buyers
d. news and leads
e. reliable member companies information
f. industry exhibition and trade fair information
g. other datas and documents

As we have mentioned in another article(where to reach realiable Chinese buyers and sellers), other than attending China trade fair to meet suppliers and buyers face to face, it will be always safer to
build business relationship with member companies listed on industry association than other "company" you come across on B2B websites.

We think it will make it easier for our visitors if we can compile a relative complete list/directory of industry associations in China. We are going to add any new association websites as long as we find any resources we have neglected.
