The Three Traps on a Chinese Supplier's Website

We audited 1,290+ Chinese suppliers, entity by entity. Most of what Western procurement teams read on a supplier's homepage was designed for domestic marketing — not regulatory qualification. Three traps, and the exact moves to beat each one before you waste an RFQ cycle.

What you get

One argument per issue. Nothing else.

Junction Brief is not another news roundup. Each issue makes a single claim about China's robotics supply chain — and proves it with data you can't easily get elsewhere.

01

Supplier verification

How to read a Chinese supplier's website like an auditor. Factory claims, certificate walls, export footprints — decoded.

02

Component deep-dives

Harmonic reducers, force sensors, motor drivers. Real market shares, honest evidence grades — gaps labeled as gaps.

03

Procurement playbooks

BOM rules, tariff math, sanctions screening. Checklists your team can actually use on Monday morning.

The Junction standard

"We correct ourselves in public. A map that hides its blank spots isn't a map — it's a brochure."

Every number carries a source. Every supplier claim carries an evidence grade. When the data doesn't support a thesis, we say so — in print.
