Hong Kong Language Requirements: Product vs Coverage

I am currently a student at a non-target in the US, and will be interning in a mid-tier BB in HK. I went to international school in HK, and so my Mandarin is proficient, but not fluent.

Due to these language requirements, would a product or coverage group be better? Would one need to be fluent in mandarin moreso for one of them than the other?

    That makes sense - just out of curiosity, would you say ECM or DCM is more lenient in terms of language? Also, if an industry group primarily does capital markets deals (as with most places in HK), would that also be more lenient? Thanks!
