No, not Chinese, but one of the very few foreign FO's in China. It's necesary because not speaking Chinese causes huge problems for the airlines. Also if you cant speak Chinese your restricted on which routes you can fly and a lot of Chinese ATC dont speak English very well. I know my company won't take foreign FO's any more, and the ABC/BBC or what ever Chinese that have come here must speak Chinese. I know of one other company that will take FO's but again you must be able to speak Chinese.If your a Captan its another story.
