◆ Interpreters are Strongly
Recommended
Due to the fact that not all Chinese business people in the field can speak English.
Business cards are very important as means of communication. It is very
important for business associates to exchange business cards. Cards are always
offered and received with both hands after the initial greeting.
With
the smartphone’ popularity, more and more Chinese business people start to use
E-business card from Apps such as What’s app or linkedin. However the most popular
App is Wechat in China. If you want a faster contact method to your Chinese business
partner, Wechat international version is available both to IOS and Android smartphone.
◆ Communication Habit
Address Chinese officials as Mister, Miss or Madam. The Chinese surnames come
first and the given names last,
e.g. Mr. Zhang Tongjun should be addressed as Mr. Zhang.
