How AZ-China Can Help Your Business

Doing business in China is all about building mutual trust and benefit amidst establishing relationship with people. If you do not understand your counterpart well, it will be quite difficult to establish good cooperation with him/her.

Encountering the culture differences is therefore inevitable, thus a better understanding of the cultural differences is necessary when doing business in China:

Addressing: when doing business in China is acceptable to call a Chinese person by the surname, together with his/her title. E.g. Director Li, Chairman Wang.
Greetings: in China the most useful form of greeting is a nod or slight bow. Handshaking is also an acceptable greeting. However they shake hands very lightly and it can last 10 seconds. The best way to go is to wait for the Chinese to extend his hand first.
Facing being respected: they are very sensitive. So, doing or saying anything that causes someone to lose face can instantly destroy a relationship and any business that might result from it. Never insult or openly criticize someone in front of others.
Gifts are important; it expresses friendship and symbolizes hopes for success. For wrapped gifts, gold or red are appropriate colors. White and black are colors of mourning.
