Hey Josh, looking to mainland China right now may not be the best idea. Their relations with the western world are crumbling and are going to get much worse. I've been working with the Chinese for a few years, (not manufacturing), and am pulling back all my activities there.
The only viable Chinese option right now is Taiwan, which has an excellent manufacturing industry. The Asus laptop I'm typing this on is from Taiwan. My only contact there is Elisa Chiu, who runs an incubator specifically for attracting foreign companies. https://www.anchortaiwan.com/
Hi, sorry I haven't checked Indiehackers in a few days, but I would love to get on a call with you to talk more about the idea my brother and I have for a product we want to build and manufacture. Could you please email me and my brother: [email protected] and [email protected] when you're available for a call and we'll happily join a call sometime soon.

What type of manufacturers are you looking for?
Try alibaba.com. There are a lot of different companies making different things, and they sell in bulk.
Taiwan would be my choice if I were looking at quality, but China does it cheap.
