How to Avoid Costly Chinese Supplier Risk Mistakes in 30 Seconds
In today's global supply chain landscape, one wrong supplier choice can cost your business millions. Hidden legal cases, shell company traps, and financial red flags are just a few of the dangers lurking behind seemingly legitimate Chinese vendors. With CheckSonar, you gain immediate access to AI-driven insights that reveal critical supplier risks — all in under 30 seconds.
The Risks in Global Supply Chains
When sourcing from China, many businesses unknowingly expose themselves to severe risks:
- Shell companies operating without real assets or operations
- Zombie enterprises surviving only through debt rollovers
- Tax violations and unreported liabilities
- Court judgments hidden from public view
- Shareholder fraud and corporate misrepresentation
These threats often remain undetected until it's too late — leading to production halts, legal battles, and massive financial losses.

Real-World Impact (Customer Stories)
Here’s how CheckSonar has helped real businesses avoid costly mistakes:
Situation: Circuit Board Factory in Shenzhen
A major electronics buyer nearly signed a deal with a circuit board manufacturer — until CheckSonar flagged the factory’s core equipment as being listed for judicial auction.
Problem
Despite appearing financially stable, internal court records revealed serious legal disputes.
Outcome
The deal was halted, saving the buyer from potential non-delivery and loss of capital investment.
Situation: Garment Manufacturer in Quanzhou
An apparel brand paid a large deposit to a supplier who later disappeared — leaving contracts unfulfilled and goods undelivered.
Problem
CheckSonar identified the company as a long-abandoned shell entity before any payments were made.
Outcome
By using CheckSonar earlier, the brand could have avoided a ¥700,000 loss.
