How this site is sourced and checked

This site is a reference for buyers sourcing from Guangzhou and the surrounding manufacturing belt. It covers the Canton Fair, the wholesale clusters buyers still travel for, and the factories behind them.

A figure appears here only when we have the source on file. Every cluster profile and every Fair page shows the source it came from and the date we last checked it, so you can judge the information rather than trust it.

Sources are graded. An official source is a government body, the Fair organiser or the market's own operator. A media or association source is a signed report or an industry body. We label which one applies on the page itself.

We do not publish what we cannot support. There are no opening hours on market pages because they change and a wrong time costs you a wasted morning. There are no phone numbers or contact names, for the same reason a directory of names is worth little: the person who owns the record decides who gets it.

We do not sell ranking, we do not take payment for a listing, and we do not accept payment to include or drop a figure. If a page cannot be supported by a source, it is not published, however useful it would be commercially.

If something here is wrong, or you want a record corrected or removed, e-mail us with the page address. We correct or remove it, and we keep the correction note on the page.

Factory records come in two states. A verified record has been checked against a source on file; its page is indexable and carries a short factual summary. A listing record is a registration entry that has not been checked line by line; its page is deliberately excluded from search indexes and carries a notice explaining what the entry does and does not confirm. We do not present a listing as a verified supplier.

The fields we publish are company name (English and registered Chinese name), district, industry, product scope, founding year where known, and registration status. They come from the underlying registry data. Where a page cites a government body, the Fair organiser, a market operator, or a signed report, it shows that source and the date we last checked it. We do not publish opening hours, phone numbers, or named contacts: they change quickly and a wrong one costs a buyer a wasted trip. Photos on factory pages are category reference images, not that company's products; their captions say so.

If a figure has no source on the page, treat it as unverified and ask us. If you find an error, e-mail us with the page address; we correct or remove it and keep a note of the correction on the page.
