01 Starting point
Keep the context you already built
Carry forward the useful context from the guide, directory, or city page before entering the secure enquiry.
This companion helps you organise a concise first conversation. It does not replace the existing intake, consent, conflict, privacy, or engagement process.
Briefing scope
Access / security / stage context
Prepare only high-level labels for investor type, sector flags and stage—without uploading ID-bearing ownership charts.Next step
Existing guided secure enquiry
The handoff opens the established enquiry experience with route context only. Your checklist selections do not transfer.02 Prepare
Choose where you are in the process
Choose the high-level stage that best describes your situation. The prompts then show what can be prepared safely without entering a confidential matter history.
These choices help frame an initial professional conversation. They do not assess suitability, urgency, legal merits, or lawyer availability.
Early screening
Describe activity and ownership at a high level—without attaching confidential models.
✓ A high-level route frame is different from a legal conclusion or a document review.
03 Briefing checklist
Prepare only high-level context
Prepare the basic facts that can be stated safely at a high level.
Use the checklist as a private prompt for yourself. Your selections are not stored, submitted, or transmitted by this companion.

05 Secure handoff

07 Common questions
Before you continue
Common questions before moving into the secure enquiry process.
Does this readiness companion send my selections to China Legal Portal or a lawyer?
No. The controls operate in the current browser view only. The handoff link carries only its controlled route context, not selected fields, documents, contact details, or a narrative.
Can I upload ownership charts with ID details here?
No. The companion is intentionally limited to high-level preparation. Do not upload identity-bearing or confidential deal material until a secure channel and engagement scope are confirmed.
Does opening the guided enquiry create a lawyer-client relationship?
No. The existing enquiry route should present its own consent, conflict, scope, and engagement boundaries. A route selection or enquiry does not establish representation.
