With China's "opening up" over the last 10 years, Chinese trade behavior and practices are becoming more similar to other industrialized countries. China's joining to WTO in December 2001 brought it global commercial responsibility, as well as the opportunity to fully benefit from worldwide economic cooperation.

Internally, China's WTO entry has bolstered its economic growth and advanced its legal and governmental reforms. It has also created an encouraging trend at an industry level aimed at revising business procedures, in order to facilitate fair and mutually beneficial trade. 
 
Trading with Chinese companies is not as tricky as it once was but nevertheless, importing from China can be difficult for many western businesses. The vast variety of cultural, political, commercial and lingual differences can represent an expensive and sometimes insurmountable barrier to trade.
 
The Chinese international business mindset is still being developed, thus the stakes can be higher if things go wrong, because your avenues of recourse can be comparatively limited. 

Travel to China to meet the principals of the company you are trading with, this will contribute to making an informed business decision. You will have the opportunity to meet the principals, inspect the facilities and view the products first-hand.
 
Attending healthcare industry tradeshows is a great way of identifying suppliers. You may find current information on Medical Exhibitions in China at Trade Show Central.
