The China Foreign Trade Service
Product Relationship Concept

As a foreign trade organization, it is primarily our goal to bring import and export entities together. Does that imply that we can distanciate ourselves from the products that is channeled through us?
Of Course Not!!!
We have to keep in touch with our products and we have to know what the customer requires. Quality and price may normally be drawn on two separate axis and high quality is associated with a high price.

This being one of the reasons why we target the market of China as our major source of export products.
The quality of products are constantly improving while the price stays low in this manufacturing powerhouse.
This fact has seen many big manufacturers opening up manufacturing facilities in Mainland China. This shows our commitment to our products in forming a tight relationship with quality.

IMPORT/EXPORT IS OUR BUSINESS

China Foreign Trade Service is an South African based Import and Export business with specific interest in the markets of the Peoples Republic of China PRC and the Republic of South Africa RSA. Our interest in these economies imply that we would favour these two countries as the source for products when we deal with prospective clients. It doesn't imply that we restrict the trade to these countries. Be assured that we will deal with requests for products from all over the world. Secondary to this primary aim, we would also consider sourcing from East Asia in general as well as from Southern Africa as a region.

Both the PRC and the RSA currently carries the status of emerging economies and that places them in an unique position in the world economy.

Both Countries are capable of offering sophisticated goods as well as niche products to prospective clients all over the world. Products may come from high technology production plants as well as intermediate up and coming factories but it may also be manufactured in home based industries to cater for a relative small but sophisticated niche market.

SOUTH AFRICA-CHINA FORGE DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS

On the 1st of January 1998, South Africa and the Peoples Republic has started diplomatic relations for the first time ever. On that day the Chinese embassy was opened in Pretoria with the simultaneous closure of the Taiwanese embassy.
South Africa basically maintains all relations short of diplomatic relations with Taiwan but for strategic reasons has opted to favour the PRC for full diplomatic relations.

Before 1990, South Africa had basically no trade with China but it was now expected to have reached the $1.6 billion level in 1997 in bi-lateral trade. That doesn't include the $1.4 billion in trade with Hong Kong.
Nelson Mandela, State President of South Africa said that it was in South Africa's interest to form close relations with the PRC.
