Ask someone who has been there? Wait a couple of weeks and see what the host comes up with? For the record, I tried to "hire" (volunteer) a local expert who has lived there for 18 years and speaks fluent Mandarin and English, but he was too busy with his day job, I am still hoping someone else will step up to the plate, but in any case, I am confident the host will help. Plus there are lots of people on this list who can assist, one of the reasons we are going to China is the increasing participation from China in the IETF.
