Social Events: While going for any formal event during your visit for China business, get yourself ready to deliver a short speech after the host’s speech. If you have invited Chinese people in your party for the business purpose of global sourcing, serve them with proper meal rather than serving snacks to them.

Avoid giving clock, white flowers and umbrellas or knives and scissors as your gifts.
