He need TIN. Not SSN.INS do not issue any SSN to foreigner under most situation. Apply for TIN can solve the tax issue. Buy a chinese newspaper and look for advertisement of Accounting firm which could help apply TIN.

If you perform service outside US for a US company, you do not need to have a TIN. Ask them to forward a W-8 form instead of W-8 form.You can also get a TIN in Canada if your company provides service within US boundary. Search "foreign corporation" in IRS web site.
If you get confused, ask your accountant.
Based the international treaty, a US company has no right to ask for even a W-8 form although most governments and big companies require it to set up vendor profiles.
