How to get on together In China, the first person that enters the room is the head of the group. Westerners should follow this rule so as not to confuse the Chinese.

When exchanging business cards,hold out your card using both hands with the writing facing the other person. Receive a business card with both hands and look at it immediately for important information.Then lay the card in front of you on the table.It is rude to put someone's card directly into your pocket without looking at it first.
