- \n10. Talk about money too early in a business relationship\ne.g. Chinese people value relationships and personal friendships much more important. And business comes after establishing friendships. You don’t have to like somebody to do business with them, but in Chinese society, it’s a pre-requisite.\n\n9. Appear too self-centered\ne.g. Chinese people often defer their wishes to other people, as a sign of courtesy and respect. Putting other people before yourself. \n\n8. Make a seemingly harmless joke or embarrass a Chinese person publicly\ne.g. Chinese people are very sensitive to personal attacks and will remember it for the rest of their lifes!\n\n7. Say things too directly\ne.g. If you don’t like an idea or an arrangement, use words like “maybe”, “perhaps”, “what if”. Assertiveness doesn’t come out well in Chinese relationships.\n
