doing this without having met the agent is a risky business. I have an excellent contact in China but cant put the name here for obvious reasons. email me and I will give you contact details
I found this web site recently, but have no experience/knowledge of it. http://www.globalsources.com/
Alibaba.com.
It is relatively more established and popular, with a significant pool of suppliers listing their products. It also offers some ratings on suppliers.
Good luck.
The essential thing is to have someone ‘on the ground’ out there who can liaise with the factory and negotiate price and -crucially- monitor quality. I have been working with a company basin Hk for a couple of years, providing uk businesses with samples, tooling and products. Get in touch if you would like to discuss further.

Depends what you are manufacturing. Try Panther Group (e mail attached). I have found them very good.
Ideally you need to find your product in China first so you can give people out there a starting point of companies to look at for you.
Search on http://www.Alibaba.com or http://www.made-in-china.com
You will have to go out there yourself. Don’t rely on others to do the job for you as the communication can be difficult and can result in mistakes.
You can get people to help you while you are out there.
Go to the trade shows in Hong Kong – you will make good contacts there. Ask around in your own industry or if you deal with the multiples ask them. They will give you contacts.
It’s a mine field at first but OK when you make the right contacts.
