Practical planning questions for work connected to China
This guide begins technical discovery and does not replace professional advice.
Questions to resolve
- Simplified Chinese terminology, content review, customer support, and English-language requirements.
- CNY display, approved payment providers, invoicing inputs, refunds, settlement, and reconciliation.
- Hosting, domain, platform, API, identity, cybersecurity, data-location, cross-border transfer, and service-availability questions requiring qualified review.
- Mobile performance, accessibility, regional availability, account ownership, monitoring, backups, and recovery.
Language and localization
Define the language used for contracts, meetings, technical documentation, support, and user-facing content. Machine translation can assist drafting but should not be treated as certified or automatically publication-ready.
Privacy and data
Document what information is collected, why it is needed, who can access it, which vendors process it, where it may travel, how long it is retained, and how correction, export, deletion, and incidents are handled.
Payments and commerce
Define currency display, price ownership, approved tax and invoicing inputs, providers, settlement, refunds, subscriptions, disputes, reconciliation, failed states, and support.
Accessibility and usability
Set a target before design and testing. Include keyboard use, screen-reader structure, focus states, contrast, errors, labels, mobile interaction, and representative testing where appropriate.

Official sources
Use current official sources as research starting points. Recheck them for the actual service, audience, location, vendor, and launch date. Record who decides what applies.
