need to know chinese - enough at least to at the minimum edit pitchbooks (in chinese), listen to conference calls / take notes in chinese, speak to clients in chinese, and possibly speak chinese during work at the firm (especially if you're staffed with the china team)
if you work in something like non-China ECM, it matters far less (no chinese required). But then again, why bother going to HK if not gonna work something related to Cina?
Does this mean they hire mostly top local Chinese? Or maybe Chinese Americans who speak decent Mandarin? Due to the sheer number of people who are interested in IB AND Greater China I would expect the competition to be fierce. Would you say Singapore would be better or both are more of the same? Thanks.

bump...anyone?
if you're from Hong Kong then I assume you know chinese, how much time would it even take you to familiarize yourself with this stuff for an interview? 1-2 hours?
