O2O Sourcing is an English-language editorial project for global buyers working with China-based supply chains. It covers sourcing methods, factory verification, quality control, industrial hubs, cities, trade fairs and supplier communication.
Our purpose is to help readers ask better questions, organize evidence and make more controlled sourcing decisions. We do not select suppliers, arrange transactions or make purchasing decisions on a reader’s behalf.
Who publishes the site
Articles are currently published under the collective byline O2O Sourcing Editorial Desk. The desk is responsible for the accuracy, maintenance and correction of material carrying that byline. A collective byline does not mean that every article contains first-hand reporting or that every recommendation has been tested in a live order.
The public editorial contact channel is [email protected].
The publication is updating its contributor and reviewer records. Where a named specialist contributes reporting, review or technical verification, that role should be shown on the article and linked to a contributor page.
How the work is produced
O2O Sourcing uses editorial planning and automation tools to help organize topics, outlines and drafts. Automation is not treated as evidence. Claims that depend on dates, regulations, standards, locations, prices or supplier capabilities require separate verification against appropriate sources.

What our articles can and cannot establish
Most articles are decision frameworks and working methods. Unless an article expressly identifies a visit, interview, test or case record, readers should not interpret it as first-hand reporting. Stock and licensed images are illustrative and are identified by source; they are not proof that the editorial desk visited the depicted place or facility.
Sourcing conditions change. Verify current regulations, standards, prices, schedules, addresses, certifications and commercial claims with the relevant official or commercial party before acting.
Commercial independence
O2O Sourcing does not currently publish paid supplier rankings or accept payment in exchange for favorable editorial conclusions. Any future sponsorship, affiliate relationship, supplied product or other material conflict must be disclosed on the relevant page.
