This is a very timely topic for me too (same kind of story in Beijing). Please post any replies to the list.
When the issue first raised a few version ago, I could only find American expats who can do tech writing but don't speak any Chinese, so that was not an option as the writer must communicate with the dev team there. In the mean time the local QA person did the writing and we were quite pleased with the results. Of course, we needed to edit it, but it was better than we expected. Now, they want to free this person to do his real job, QA, and find a writer, so we are back to square 0.
