How do you design, manufacture, and scale in China with Sharon Chen?
China is not just a factory, it is a rapid learning engine. Join Sharon Chen for a practical guide to building with Chinese manufacturing in 2025: how to choose the right city and partner, move from CAD to pilot to line, compress cost and lead time without losing quality, and navigate tariffs and compliance with clear choices. Expect ground truth from factory floors, vendor audits, and program builds across energy, robotics, and advanced hardware.
You will leave with: how to pick OEM vs ODM vs contract manufacturing, how to run supplier discovery and vetting with bilingual RFQs and sample loops, how to model cost down across BOM, tooling, MOQs, and CapEx, how to use DFM and parallel prototyping to speed up, how to protect IP with NNNs and QA plans, how to choose EXW vs FOB vs DDP and set terms, how to staff on the ground, and a simple risk map for policy and concentration.
And what the hell all these acronyms mean.
