Replying to [kashifbuttpk]:Yes, if you have to deal with Chinese for your business, better to learn a little Chinese. Quite some of my foreign clients in China can speak a little China and as they stay in China very often, their Chinese is becoming better and better.

Replying to [kashifbuttpk]:I think the answer will be affirmative for you. In the current international society, the reputation of china is increasing.Many foreigners can speak fluent chinese, it's a beautiful language in the world. The key point is that language is importent in business dealing process. Like in your country, you will say your local language not chinese when you buy anything. I wish your chinese level much better in the future.
Best regards&Thanks

in a certain extant ,it is ,and the chinese language has lots of different meaning with the same words, you will find they will make mistake if you use the word wrong even if you are careless to do so .
may be you can learn the chinese ,to know it a little ,is better then know nothing.
if you can say the common communication words, you will feel to do everything easily.
good luck !

I am working in Guangdong Allied Law Firm(in Shenzhen City), and we deal a lot with legal service for doing business in China,such as IP,international trade,company setting up etc.We also have a liasion office in Hongkong. If there is anything we can help, please do not hesitate to contact ....... the contact information has been deleted by the concerned Mod.
Please restrain yourself from doing so in the future.
Thank you.
