Hey guys,
I was just wondering what the language requirements are for working in Asia. From what I've researched, countries like Hong Kong and Singapore you can get away with just english, although knowing Mandarin/Cantonese would definitely help a lot. How about other countries like China/Taiwan/Korea/Japan? Is the native language required in these countries?
