UBL in China

Dear UBL fellows,

I am Laszlo Beloberk from the company Tradeshift. Until now we have been successfully using UBL in 44 different countries. Now we started looking into using it in China as well. Does anbody have any experience using UBL in that region?

Any help or references would be highly appreciated.
