China Investigations - Mandarin | Cantonese Speaking Investigators

Chinese speaking clients, interested in investigation in China can learn more about Mandarin and Cantonese speaking investigations in China on the Chinese language website for ZY Services.

Investigation in China is different from investigation in the US and other countries. For instance, ZY Services does not conduct any criminal investigations, as this is contrary to Chinese law.  One of the reasons we are so comfortable working with ZY Services is their respect for Chinese law and regulations.

Business investigation and credit investigation in China is difficult in that most records are kept at the local level, often neighborhood district level, with few central databases. Many documents are recorded by hand and in handwriting. The availability of records therefore varies from city to city.
