# MoneyWave > MoneyWave (https://moneywave.me) publishes a directory of 322 China–Africa suppliers, sourcing agents, freight forwarders and importation operators, each scored on a 1–5 MoneyWave Trust Signal compiled from public posts and buyer comments on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and LinkedIn. MoneyWave also settles supplier invoices — a CNY invoice typically reaches a Chinese supplier in about ten minutes. The directory is re-checked weekly, is free to browse, and suppliers cannot pay to be listed. Trust Signals are observations from public data, never endorsements or verification.
