Some key recommendations:
1. Conversation:
Before traveling is convenient to study aspects of language, culture, history and geography of China. Efforts to know their culture will be recognized and valued and will help develop a better "Guanxi."
The informal conversation is particularly important at the beginning of a meeting. Some topics of conversation are: landscape, architecture and art of China, its climate and geography, the country's positive experiences, positive changes in their development and trips to other countries we have made. Avoid giving its views on controversial political issues that might offend his interlocutor.
Avoid giving negative responses. Instead of "no" say "may" or "I'll think." Likewise, when the Chinese say "the problem is not serious" should be interpreted as "there is a problem."
To address a person uses its title and surname. When possible, use their official titles. Married women often use their maiden name, especially in mainland China.
2. Behavior:
As a first greeting is becoming increasingly popular to shake hands. Eventually, the greeting may consist of a slight nod. Tilt the body of the most traditional form is not very usual. In any case, wait for the other party initiate the gesture.
Avoid using hands while talking.
Avoid hugging or clapping to greet, to the Chinese, especially those of higher authority, not like physical contact with strangers. Public displays of affection between people of different sexes are frowned upon.
People over age authority or in a group waiting to be recognized and saluted before the rest.
Spitting in public is very common among the Chinese, but it is a habit that is no longer acceptable.
3. Negotiation:
The most important bargaining tools in China are humility and patience.
The cards should be delivered with both hands. When you receive your contact card, read it carefully before storing.
When negotiation is conducted with a translator, be sure to look at its commercial counterpart.
If something was not well received at a meeting, this will not be reported. Probably at the next meeting the speaker is someone else-and probably a lower rank.
According to protocol, at a meeting of business people should enter the meeting room in hierarchical order. It is expected that most senior people lead the negotiations. Interruptions of subordinates can be very frowned upon.
Chinese negotiators know that whoever has taken the trouble to travel to China will not want to go back with empty hands and use this as leverage to achieve its objectives. It is important to make clear that no one is willing to reach an agreement rather than make a bad deal.

Hosts in China. Receive and deal with guests. Customs.
If we make an invitation to a private home is right take a detail to our hosts, and if possible to the smallest of the house. Thank so much a typical detail of our country. Also suitable to bring some sweets, chocolates or a bottle of liquor.
The home entertainment very popular in China as there are people who have an active social life, but rather familiar. Thus most of the celebrations take place within this area.
If you are invited to his house, which is not very common, we will remove your shoes at the entrance of your home. You must follow all the indications made it as we are culturally very ceremonious and ritualistic. Always be on time to any appointment or meeting. The lack of punctuality is a discourtesy.
you the invites to your home or residence, they never put cheese between food on the menu, it does not fall in their diet and put them on a compromise. When you invite people from China, try to put a pretty oriental menu to avoid surprises.
A good host for them is one that cares about its guests and the Chinese in particular are the type of people who like to shower you with attention, its culture rooted in traditional values.
Even if you are the host respect the Chinese customs, if the invitation was made in your country (China). If the invitation was made in their home country should be governed by the same standards and Western ways, with some adaptation to the Chinese characteristics (such as details of courtesy to them.)
When planning the guest list aims to make your guests about someone who knows your language or at least know about their culture issues in order to maintain a conversation with them throughout the evening and not having them outside the celebration.

China, understanding the language of business
Napoleon referred to China as a 'sleeping dragon', saying that when he awakens, the world would shake. Since it began to become clear that the lethargy was ending, the world has begun to shake him, not only providing the political and economic consequences, but also trying to seize new opportunities.
is that China is, above all, a giant, perhaps too large to be ignored. Its population is larger than South America, Africa and the Middle East together, or about 40 times the population of Argentina. Its population is the best educated in underdeveloped countries, with more number of engineers than any other country except the U.S.. One of the most important export destinations of today.
cultural differences.
Chinese culture differs from Western in many respects, including the way we do business. The behavior of the Chinese still shows a strong influence of Confucian ideas and values. Faced with the idea of \u200b\u200bsocial mobility and individualism achievement of Western culture, Confucianism for the harmony and welfare of society depend on the maintenance of order in social relations-pyramid-type in which each individual accepts his role and behaves and relates to his superiors and subordinates in a manner consistent with that role. Understanding these cultural differences becomes a key asset for business success in China.
Success depends on Guanxi.
The "Guanxi" literally "relationships" - is probably the most important concept in the business world in China. By "Guanxi" means a network of relationships and connections between people, who are cooperating and exchanging favors. People who have developed an extensive network of contacts have a great asset in "favors" that are critical in business, without "Guanxi" success business is unlikely. At the same time, our contacts expect us to favor them the same provision, if necessary - "paid for with favor."
Develop a good "Guanxi" is the first step to go into business with China, even though it costs time and money, and our businesses depend on the relationship we have established with our partners, suppliers and customers. These relationships are not only business but also at a personal level, and form and strengthen transmitting respect, loyalty and reliability. Relations should not be promoted just before a sale, but must be established gradually, and, once generated the contact it must be maintained over time if you want to continue doing business in China.
Doing Business in China.
While no one expected to speak perfect Mandarin and we are skilled in the martial art of Shaolin monks, but show an interest in culture and tradition, China is highly valued and appreciated, "moving objects in an office that is ordered According to Feng Shui, or mistaking a Japanese tradition with China, can irritate our partners. Therefore, it is essential first studying the customs and local codes and use cultural differences to our advantage.
