Questions

How many English-speaking lawyers are there in China?
We list 18, in 4 cities. That is the number whose working language we can trace to a published source, not the number that exists.
Which city has the most?
Beijing, with 7 of the 18.
Is English unusual for lawyers in China?
100% of the 18 lawyers we hold in China are recorded as working in English. A consular list records the language because the mission publishes it for its own citizens, so the figure reflects who publishes lists, not only who speaks what.
