Chinese Companies’ Background Checks - Using Online Chinese Open Sources

Webinar Overview

Conducting background research on our business partners is an important and sometimes mandatory step in mitigating the risk of fraud. With the development of the internet, it has become a central source of information for such research, allowing access to a broad spectrum of sources, across the globe. China is the second largest economy in the world, and as such, will likely play a role, directly or indirectly, in our business activities. Whether it is a supplier we chose to work with, business operations we would like to carry out in China, Chinese clients that we might provide service to, etc. Yet, with a different language, culture, and online ecosystem, it is difficult for many outside China, to access relevant online information, or even to know it exists.

Abstract:

In this webinar we will discuss the misconceptions and realities of information availability on the Chinese internet, the challenges we face when searching for information, and review a variety of sources, with demonstrations and examples of how to use them and what insights we can gain.
