Chinese Business Etiquette

East-West business is booming as thousands of people flock to China to capitalize on explosive opportunities. But knowing the proper etiquette and the correct protocol — and being aware of cultural differences — is a must. This book provides advice on how to succeed, avoid gaffes, interpret behavior and make a positive impression.

This Amazon bestseller, previously published as Dealing With the Chinese, acquaints the reader with important Chinese concepts like mianzi (face), guanxi (connections) and lijie (politeness) and discusses the importance of group-centeredness and reciprocity. It also provides hands-on advice on meeting and greeting people, participating in a business meeting and a Chinese banquet, gift-giving and navigating the Chinese bureaucracy.
