If we assume this is happening in a Mandarin speaking country, why to hire someone that doesn't speak the local language?

Does this person bring to the table something that the locals can't? Then, there you have your answer too for the guy that doesn't speak English.

Half the team doesn’t speak Mandarin, which makes it international team, which makes knowing common language vital.
