Firstly, you will find it useful to know that we have a trustworthy associate who some of our clients choose to use for manufacturer vetting in china / Taiwan (more here). They will sign NDA’s, and get the manufacturers to also sign NDA’s. However, we usually recommend applying for a Design Patent more here. The NDA will be testament that the a manufacturer agrees that any IPR arising out of the manufacturing will be yours, while the Design Patent will give you exclusive right to the particular design.
