Well, if they've a good track record of working with western companies, sure.
I've not had any significant dealings with China for about 7 years, and I'm glad of it, because if there was any opportunity to fuck things up, to misconstrue or misinterpret, they'd bite down on it with relish.
More recently I 'helped' a client move her once-artesanal Italian glass product shift over to Chinese production - I warned her against it, saying that if she wanted to do it properly, she'd have to go to China for a month or two and just stand over the process 'til they got it right.
Eventually she did. Product, last I saw of it anyway, was severely compromised - from the glass itself to the secondary process that I used to fulfill for her. I checked her site recently - she appears to have utterly stagnated for 18 months.
So, imo, if your budget includes someone going over there and sitting on things, and it's still cheaper than what you can get locally and supporting your own country's or region's economy, sure.
I'd just as soon not bother.
