The most populous and innovative country in the world, The People’s Republic of China, is always on the lookout for novel thoughts and ideas with education, businesses, technology, and almost everything else. Direct selling businesses also caught the Chinese attention for their uniqueness and the various opportunities it offers. But, from the initial boom in the early 90s, there was a pause midway due to numerous scandals and fraudulence that emerged in the MLM/direct selling sector.

However, network marketing companies like Infinitus which was founded as early as in the year 1992 stood high with their credibility and unique customer approach. The health products brand saw a straight increase in its revenue reaching $3200 million in the year 2022.
Breaking the conventional MLM marketing structure which is more prone to bogus money-making claims and scams, the country introduced the mandate Regulations on Direct Selling Management in the year 2005 to bring clarity and transparency into the business. This came as a blessing to the sector with multiple direct selling health and wellness, nutrition, personal care, dietary supplements, and such products did well in the Chinese market creating a major health and fashion trend in the market.
