I highly doubt any Chinese who could not speak English could succeed in US. Of course, if you think opening a restaurant in Chinatown is a success, I am wrong then.
So if you do not speak fluent Chinese, why are you supposed to be successful in China, especially when you are doing the things anybody could do?
- seanmcdirmid 8y agoMost of the foreigners in the article spoke fluent Chinese.
- xmly 8y agoAs fluent as native Chinese? There are a lot of foreigners working in US. But I do not think it is because they could speal better English, but because they have skills, especially engineering skills.
- seanmcdirmid 8y agoYes. Many foreigners working in China have 大山-level Chinese, enough to do business for sure. And yes, there are also foreigners working in China with specialized skills, but we don’t typically start companies there (I was one of the latter).
