I reckon most people find new releases on linsoul, or aliexpress. Not sure if there is a dedicated blog or tracker that tracks new releases from Chinese manufacturers.

Also, dude, chi fi is not the preferred nomenclature.

Let's Avoid the Term Chi-Fi

I often see the use of the term "Chi Fi" to describe audio products from China. I see the intention and don't think anyone is trying to be racist and what have you. Still, I like us to show the highest respect to products from around the world. As avid readers of this forum know...

Mostly through videos below, ranked in order of how the reviewer’s audio preference/frequency response matches to my own, I know that Bad Guy Good Audio likes the sound of something then I‘d very likely enjoy it so I’ve ranked him #1, another good thing is he gives away all the review iem’s to subscribers who leave a comment, it can be a £50 iem or a £5000 iem - very cool and he even pays all postage to anywhere in the world. Very honest reviews

Audiolevels is also good but he prefers slightly less bass - not afraid to come right right out and say a megabuck iem is “garbage/utter shite what were they thinking” which I like, and he’s Scottish so there’s that as well - possible nationalistic bias . Very honest reviews

Gizaudio is good for the far eastern stuff, enthusiastic but likes less bass and more treble. Reviews a lot of iem’s in all price ranges. Haven’t watched enough to form an opinion but he’s not shy about saying nope, not for me.

Was hoping for a dedicated blog. I belong to headfi as well but like it here much better, as it's I guess the words I would pick are more honest less ego.

With most "audiophiles" these days may as well be "stupid-fi"
