I recently traveled to China and planned to stay in Fujian. I've heard that there are a lot of shoe factories here so in case anyone is interested in buying shoe products feel free to pm me. Other products are also welcomed :) By the way I am just new here so I might need someone who is experienced enough to talk about the cooperation since I do not have idea how dropshipping works...

If you have no idea how dropshipping works how in the world do you think you can be a legitimate middle man for someone here, especially if you're just visiting there?
 
First thing, I am always confused about, local chinese knows English language? I am these companies dealers?

I mean suppose if some come to India and try to talk to me in spanish, it wont work for me.

Plus If I was at your place I wont enter into any kind of JV or deal with OP.

I was born in China and is a Chinese citizen, however I grew up studying in the Philippines and recently came to China. Some of my relatives are working in shoe factories. Although you were right that I can't be a legitimate middle man because I have no idea how dropshipping works but I am willing to learn even though I can't earn money from first few deals. :)

Nope, most local Chinese don't know how to speak in English, however I can speak bad English plus fluent Mandarin. ;)

True, I have been only reading posts and threads (about movie niche) for two years. I am willing to spend time and money to establish the trust for people to believe me.

You either are a commercial rep or you're not. If you're just visiting the area and passing by, how do you expect anyone to base their supply chain off of you? I mean, build a business, start selling, then you disappear into the ether?

Rethink your strategy there. I don't think this is gonna fly unless you do.

If I were you I'd set myself up as a product finder and not get involved in the dropshipping side. Charge a fee when people request products, you find suppliers/ manufacturer in China. You make initial contact then hand over.

Is it better if I first start selling on Aliexpress then build my reputation to gain trust then start finding people who would buy bulk products from me?

Yes, it's better.
I see a lot of aliexpress store selling the most demanding dropship product. You can do the same.
Build an established reputation before going in jv.
