If you have a good alternative, and if your Chinese suppliers know it, it will keep them in line. The moment you are in a position of weakness and they know it, you are in trouble. You are right to point to Chinese history. It definitely has an impact here. Hi Derek, I agree with you.

As a chinese speaker, I have been a buyer for many years to deal with Asian vendors, especially with Chinese factories. Partnership you mentioned is working literally very well . In reality and practice, it goes to a different direction sometimes. Being artistic outweighs be strategic in partnering with Chinese factories. Without X in your sleeve, you will get a lot of headache during sourcing and purchasig in China, which means you always have a contingent plan to back up for your procuring failure at any time even though your partnership with a vendor is running great. Remeber, the truthful nature of a capital is making profit and maximizing value in the fastest way. Please study chinese history, culture and investigate how Chinese people were educated since childhood, then you will understand what I am saying here. Thanks for interesting posting up there.

It is my experience that most good suppliers are interested in such information. But in general, it is always important to evaluate our attractiveness to the supplier as a buyer (as well as the reasons for this attractiveness and whether this is sustainable) before entering a long terms/partner building relationship with a Chinese supplier.
