Business culture
Attending and Conducting Meetings
Doing research on the market is important in China, but personal relationships are equally essential to business success here. It is crucial to establish and maintain good relationships with key business contacts and relevant government officials.

Dates: Check the Chinese calendar. If you are scheduling a meeting, avoid all national holidays, especially on the Chinese New Year. Preparation: Be well prepared in advance of your meetings. If you are unable to capture their attention at the first meeting, you may not be able to secure follow-up.

Language of the meeting: Make sure you know the language capabilities of your hosts before the meeting. It is more convenient and reliable for you to have your own interpretation if your hosts don't speak English or have little English capability.
Meeting room set-up: If you have specific requirements for a meeting room set-up (e.g. projector and screen), be sure to communicate this to your hosts in advance of the meeting. They are usually happy to accommodate, but often do not have the in-house capacity to set up the technology on the spot.

Materials: Have Chinese-language materials about your company to share with your hosts. While your contact in the organization may speak perfect English, the decision makers in the company may not. Dress Code: Government officials and top management dress formally for meetings, while business people at working levels may adopt a more casual style. If youre not sure, go formal it will convey respect and seriousness

Introducing themselves to others :


Addressing others: Seniority is valued in China. It is important to address your counterparts by their title (Chairman, Director, etc.). Find out who the most senior person in the room is, and address them first. Handshakes: As in Canada, meetings often start with handshakes. If things go well, you may also be on the receiving end of a prolonged handshake: anything goes. In China, the question will be who lets go first? Dont be shy about holding on if your counterpart is enjoying the contact it is meant well.

Giving/Receiving business cards:


Similar to introductions, hand out business cards to the most senior official first. Chinese use both hands when giving and receiving anything of value, including gifts and particularly business cards; you should do the same as this is one of the first points at which you will make an impression. Have your own cards translated into Chinese on one side.
