Contractual arrangements appoint Chinese partners as distributors, or trading or sourcing agents. It is an appropriate option for foreign investors who do not want to set up permanently in China, but who are still looking to manufacture, sell and distribute their products in China, while monitoring the operations from abroad. Moreover, those arrangements do not require approved/license except otherwise required by competent authorities.
