Supporting Foreigners With Real Solutions. So Earlier today, a foreign entrepreneur reached out in our community asking for a trusted service in Shenzhen that could translate academic degrees into Chinese and provide an official stamped translation. This is a common requirement for work permits, company registration, school applications, and other official processes in China, yet it’s often hard for foreigners to find reliable providers. Our support team responded immediately to understand her location and exact need. After checking our existing contacts in Shenzhen, we were able to recommend a verified translation company that specializes in official academic document translations accepted by Chinese authorities. Recommended Company Details: • Company Name: New World Translation • Service: Academic degree translation with official stamp • City: Shenzhen • WeChat ID: XSJHR2004 The contact was shared directly in the group so she could reach out without delays or uncertainty. This is a simple example of how the community works. When someone has a real need, we connect them to real solutions using trusted contacts. No guessing, no unnecessary back and forth, just practical help that saves time and stress. We’ll continue to support foreigners and entrepreneurs by sharing verified information and contacts that make life and business in China easier.
