Option A? Seriously? They might as well just hire a translator and call it a day. This is a senior-level position, not a language class!

I don't know, option B seems pretty crucial to me. How else are they going to get this thing running in 4 months?

Nah, C is the least relevant. What they really need is someone with experience in creating new manufacturing operations, not just international experience.

Hmm, I'd say option A is the least relevant. They're looking for a senior manager, not someone who can just speak Chinese.

But wouldn't being able to communicate with the local workforce be crucial for the success of the operation?

I think option D is the least relevant. They need someone who can get the operation up and running, not necessarily a technical expert on the product.
