If your first time to visit China or a city, it would be better for you to hire a local translator who can assist you not only in business meeting but other small aspects to save you time and money sometimes:
1.some translators can help you to book good hotel with cheaper price and you dont need to pay deposit in advance.
2.translator can arrange meetings according to suppliers address since some are nearby each other.
3.even though your suppliers speak fluent English,a local person next to you always make you feel safety or relax.
when the translator is not with you, pls take a name card from your hotel which might properly show their location and contact No. in both Chinese and English in case you get lost.
