Hi, I'm David – your interpreter, based in Shanghai and available across China.

Hello, I’m David Wang, a full-time professional interpreter based in Shanghai, China. My expertise lies in providing clear, accurate, and culturally-aware interpreting services for international trade shows, business conferences, and factory inspections.

Over the past 16 years, I have assisted hundreds of overseas buyers, exhibitors, and corporate teams during events such as the China International Import Expo (CIIE), specialized industry fairs, and private business meetings across Shanghai and surrounding manufacturing hubs. Whether you need booth support at an exhibition, consecutive interpreting during supplier negotiations, or on-site assistance during a factory quality audit, I ensure every message is conveyed precisely – no misunderstandings, no lost details.

I am fluent in English and Mandarin Chinese (native) , with a strong command of industry-specific terminology across manufacturing, electronics, machinery, and consumer goods. My approach is proactive and client-focused: I prepare thoroughly before each assignment, study your product catalogs and technical documents, and adapt my style to suit your audience, whether it’s a formal boardroom meeting or a casual walk-through on the factory floor.

While interpreting is my primary passion, I also offer translation services for supporting documents (e.g., business contracts, product manuals, and email correspondence) to ensure your entire communication chain is covered.

I believe that great interpreting is not just about words – it’s about building trust and facilitating successful business outcomes. Feel free to browse my blog for practical tips, or contact me directly to discuss how I can assist with your upcoming trade shows, conferences, or factory tours in Shanghai, and other parts of China as well.
