Become suppliers of China

Nice — I’ll give you a clean, usable list of 100 China-based retailers / chains / marketplaces on low-price, variety, seasonal and general-merchandise items — all of which run formal supplier/vendor onboarding or procurement programs (supplier portals, codes of conduct, buyer intake, audits or formal contact points). I’ve grouped them so you can scan by type. Below I also cite representative supplier-onboarding pages for major players (proof that these firms require vendor approval).

Quick proof: MINISO publishes supplier contact & globalsourcing info; Sun Art / RT-Mart, Yonghui, Freshippo (Hema / Alibaba) and Wumart all operate formal procurement/supplier routes — they don’t take casual walk-ins. Minisosunartretail.comFoodTalksAlibaba Groupwanzl.com

Notes, next steps & how I can make this actionable

• Many of the major names above (MINISO, MUMUSO, DAISO distributors, Sun Art / RT-Mart, Yonghui, Wumart, Hema/Freshippo, Carrefour China, Alibaba/Tmall, JD, Pinduoduo) operate formal supplier portals or procurement teams and require vendor registration / product testing / compliance — not casual walk-ins. Example supplier pages / proof: MINISO globalsourcing contact; Sun Art (RT-Mart) corporate supplier pages; Yonghui supplier cooperation notice; Freshippo / Alibaba supplier info; Wumart supplier activities. Minisosunartretail.comFoodTalksAlibaba Groupwanzl.com
• If you want this list converted into a practical outreach spreadsheet I can:
  • Add exact supplier-registration links or contact emails for each of the 100 entries (I’ll fetch each vendor portal), or
  • Produce a CSV/Excel ready for import to your CRM with columns: company | HQ city | category | supplier portal link | suggested first contact.
  • Filter the list to only pure “dollar-format / variety” chains (exclude supermarkets & marketplaces).
