> 14% Chinese, over 21,000 people, and mostly high income tech salaries. It would be bad business not to have Chinese speakers on staff.

What language do these Chinese tech workers speak at their jobs?

It depends on the composition of their teams, but probably something different than their most comfortable, native language.

You can have a tech vocabulary but not know what a secured property is for example. Maybe a non native would know the word secure and the word property and make an erroneous assumption.

It’s probably the biggest purchase in your life so it makes sense you want to know all details.
