I would elaborate that in regard to point 4, be sure you are working with a strong purchase order document for every order you place with a Chinese supplier. I have written about how to create a purchase order for a Chinese supplier here: http://www.quality-wars.com/2009/06/23/essential-information-to-include-on-a-purchase-order-po/

I would only add that above and beyond that, a range of audits are essential to ensure that suppliers comply with environmental and social accountability standards as well ensuring quality managements systems such as ISO9001.

Americans will hate your guts for giving their jobs to communists.

You might have a little trouble sleeping when you realize you are ultimately fucking yourself and your children by outsourcing to China.

If you justify this because other scum bags do it, look in the mirror and realize what a scum bag you are yourself.

Fuck you and Fuck China and Walmart and the politicians that send our our children to war to protect big business interests in third world hell holes.
