Boots on the ground in China. Since 2009.
China Agent is a supply chain due diligence and contract enforcement company. We help international importers verify Chinese suppliers, draft enforceable contracts, plan factory visits, and recover bad orders — on the ground, in Chinese, where it matters.
We work for one side: yours.
We don't take commission from factories. We don't act as middlemen. We don't pretend AI can do work that requires a human at a factory gate.
This page tells you who we are, where we operate, and how we work.
What we do
Four service categories, plus monthly oversight. Productized. Fixed scope. Fixed price.
China Agent operates four core service categories, plus an ongoing oversight track:
Due Diligence — supplier verification on paper, on the ground, and in legal terms. From $95.
Contracts — bilingual OEM, NNN, and manufacturing agreements drafted under Chinese law, enforceable in Chinese courts. From $595.
Guided Visits — fully planned factory weeks for buyers flying to China. From $1,295.
Fixer — dispute review, on-site negotiation, and recovery work when communication has broken down. From $2,950.
Monthly Support — ongoing eyes on the relationship, supplier oversight, and early-warning intervention. Custom-scoped per client.
Compliance and CBP audit work — UFLPA, CF-28/CF-29, country of origin, AD/CVD — is delivered through our sister company Asia Agent, which operates across China, Vietnam, Indonesia, India, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Thailand, and Cambodia.
Where we operate
Eight hubs across Asia. Real teams. Real buildings. Real motorbikes.
China Agent's primary China operations:
Guangzhou — Guangdong · Hub since 2009 Foshan — Guangdong · Hub since 2011 Yiwu — Zhejiang · Hub since 2012 Shenzhen — Guangdong · Hub since 2012
Through our sister network (Asia Agent and the country-specific brands), we also operate in:
Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh City — since 2023) · Indonesia (since 2023) · India (Bangalore — since 2024) · Bangladesh (since 2024) · Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia (since 2025, client-driven)
Headquartered in Hong Kong Total: 8 operating hubs across Asia. One founder who has been in every one of these buildings.
When you book a service, a real person on a real motorbike goes to a real factory and signs a real report. That's the only kind of verification that holds up.
How we work
Six rules we don't break.
The full method behind China Agent is on a separate page (Verify. Visit. Secure.™). Here's the short version of the rules we don't break:
No commission from factories. Ever. Every China Agent service is paid by the buyer, in fixed scope, with full transparency on factory costs.
No sourcing recommendations. We don't pick suppliers for you. You bring the supplier or the brief. We never tell you who to use.
No retainer creep. Every service is productized. Fixed scope. Fixed price. When the job is done, we hand you the proof and step out.
No translated contracts. We draft Chinese-law contracts from scratch, by Chinese lawyers, for Chinese courts. Translation isn't drafting.
No remote-only verification. Anything that involves real money gets verified on the ground. AI can't do that. We can.
No work we can't deliver in person. If the job can be done by a database lookup or an LLM, you don't need us. We exist for the work that requires presence.
These rules cost us business. They also define why China Agent works the way it does.
Who runs China Agent
Founded and led by Eldad Shashua. Operating teams across Asia.
China Agent was founded by Eldad Shashua in November 2009, originally under the name Guangzhou Agent. The company expanded across Guangdong and Zhejiang between 2011 and 2012, and was officially renamed China Agent in 2016.
In 2023, Eldad founded Asia Agent Pte Ltd in Singapore to handle longer-form, multi-country supply chain engagements — particularly the work that requires sustained presence across China + Vietnam, China + India, or other multi-jurisdictional setups.
Eldad has lived and worked in Asia since 2008. He started in a footwear manufacturing hub in Guangdong, where he managed production for an Israeli company for one year before opening Guangzhou Agent. Today he is based in Singapore and travels regularly across the eight hubs in the network.
The day-to-day operations of China Agent are run by hub managers across Guangzhou, Foshan, Yiwu, and Shenzhen — most of whom have worked with Eldad for over a decade.

A note on the network
China Agent is one company in a connected Asian network. Here's how it fits.
China Agent is the productized, get-in-get-out side of the network. Verifications, contracts, factory visits, dispute recovery — fixed scope, fixed price, delivered fast.
Asia Agent is the deeper engagement model — sustained, multi-month, multi-country project work. Eldad personally leads Asia Agent engagements. Compliance, CBP, supply chain mapping, factory takeovers, and operational setup live there.
Country-specific brands (Vietnam Agent, India Agent, Indonesia Agent, Bangladesh Agent, Malaysia Agent, Cambodia Agent, GuangzhouAgent.com) are operating hubs under the Asia Agent network — each with local teams, local lawyers, and local QC.
If you're working on China-only sourcing: China Agent is the right door. If your supply chain crosses multiple Asian countries, or you need ongoing partnership: Asia Agent is the right door.
If you're not sure: start with a $95 Supplier Reality Check. We'll route you to the right side of the network.
Where to start
Most buyers begin the same way: a $95 Supplier Reality Check on whoever they're already considering. They get a written verdict. They decide from facts.
