David Pascoe, Interim Managing Director of EMEA/APAC said, "At Cartus we recognize the value of providing bilingual content in Chinese and English to reach a broader audience in China. We recently conducted a survey which told us Chinese nationals are being relocated on either short-term assignments or extended business travel in increasing numbers. With all this movement of Chinese talent out of, and eventually back into China, communicating easily with our clients has become essential and WeChat helps us facilitate our messages."
