How Can I Talk Directly to a Factory in China?

Summary:

PT5 enables factory communication through WeChat, overcoming language, cultural, and internet barriers with a shared group.

Background:

A sourcing agent can help you find a real factory in China. But in most of the time, the sourcing agent controls the communication, and you don’t get to talk to the factory directly.

Main Challenges:

1. Most Chinese factories don’t speak English.
2.  Most Chinese factories don’t use WhatsApp or Messenger because they can’t. Because it’s blocked in China and usually they don’t know how to use VPN.
3.  There are a lot of cultural differences, and the way of thinking is also quite different.

Solution:

1. Use WeChat: Over 95% of the population of China uses WeChat to send instant messages. They also have an automatic translation feature built in.
2. Use WeChat Group: The factory, the sourcing agent, and the buyer are all in one group. The sourcing agent can talk to the factory in Chinese, but you can understand the Chinese conversation and ask questions in English.
