DESCRIPTION
Learning a new language can be time consuming and hard work. It is well worth the effort if you have regular business dealings in another country but to start with, why not master just a few words and phrases in the local language. This is a great way to show respect and build your relationships.

Cultural tips: exchanging business cards
EXCHANGINGBUSINESS CARDS Business cards are often referred to as name cards in China. Organise dual-sided cards with English on one side and Chinese on the other and always present them Chinese side up, with two hands, as a sign of respect. Take plenty of cards with you as you will be expected to exchange them with nearly everyone you meet. It is preferable to be standing when exchanging cards and when receiving a card, also use both hands and study it for a few moments.
Give yourself an unfair advantage in the Asian Century.
