Everyone says learning Chinese is good for business, but nobody tells you exactly how much Chinese you actually need.

If you are putting "Intermediate Chinese" on your resume, employers expect you to have a certification to back it up. But which one?

• HSK Level 3: Good for travel, but not enough for a professional office.
• HSK Level 4: The "Golden Ticket." This is often the minimum requirement for foreign universities and many multinational companies in China.
• HSK Level 5 & 6: Fluency. You can negotiate contracts and read newspapers.

If you are confused about where you stand or worried about the rumored HSK 3.0 changes, you need to check the vocabulary requirements before you start studying.

I wrote a full breakdown of what is required for every single level, from beginner to mastery.
