A M asked:

We’re trying to put a supply agreement in place and need to know what chinese law says about what language it needs to be in. I think if it is in english, it is invalid by definition, but I’m not sure. Can someone help me and also site there source as this is somewhat important…thanks so much.

  2. Mandarin is just the language people speak, not the written words, I think you meant Chinese…
    Anyway, the answer is yes.
    Because Chinese (simplified Chinese) is the official language in China, you cannot have the contract written in other languages, eg. English.
