The details have been gone over already in other reviews.
This is a top book for China. I take it every time I go… left my first copy on some plane, and bought another.
Highly recommended
Rating: 5 / 5
To those with aspirations of doing business in China I strongly recommend reading it for covers all of the major avenues of the PRC’s culture and how to conduct yourself.
It exposes the reader to ways of life that appear strange to us. For example, in America, it is up to the individual to make his way in life. In China, the individual’s opinion has little weight in decision making. It is the “danwei,” the work unit, who decides the best course of action in this collective thinking culture.
Quite simply, this is a very informative read.

I really enjoyed reading this book, I found it useful. It uses a practical approach to meetings and negotiations in China, I mean it not only says “do that” and “don’t do that” like other books on etiquette but explains it with concret examples and situations, so one can prepare well on how to behave in certain situations.

I liked Chinese Business Etiquette: A Guide to Protocol, Manners, and Culture in the People’s Republic of China a lot. I’m trying to get up speed real quickly on doing business in China. I think of it as a 1000 Mile journey. The first book The Gods of Business I read got me about 500 miles down the road real quick. It gave me the basics of the country’s religion and their approach to business. After that I read this book and then read (Doing Business in China For Dummies (For Dummies (Business & Personal Finance))) each of which added another 250 miles of knowledge.
