In this case I don't think you would be of much help since we are translating to Chinese. But one thing you could help with is finding 21st Chinese books that are gaining popularity and influence in China right now, ie the next Three Body Problem or America Against America. Even if they are not translated yet, they would be useful for people to know about.

If you want to better understand the differences in social structure between China and America, Fei Xiaotong's From the Soil is a great introduction to this and introduces concepts like guanxi, 'differential modes of association' (差序格局), and traditional chinese local governance. Pic attached draws from this book, showing differences between social relationships and structure. The western how people are usually part of discrete circles and institutions, while the china is more like an interconnected web or ripples in water.
