First, the interpreter must have an experience to handle a contract which will help company in signing the deal. The communication barriers will be avoided if the interpreter has a food fluency in the languages of both the countries. The interpreter can only be able to explain the deal to their client if he/she is a good listener and a good speaker which will make him understand what the person in front of him is saying and also for motivating the speaker also. When it comes to standards it should meet the proper standard which will directly reflect on customer satisfaction and the demand for the product will increase.

China is considered as a High context culture as most of time Chinese use non-speaking actions for communications like when Chinese use to greet each other they join their hands and bow down which is the symbol they are showing their politeness towards each other.
Qualities of High context Culture:

It is easy to express their feeling in high context culture society which we are not able to show through a written document. It helps in making relationship with the business partners while doing business.
