According to Greg, there are three times to a Chinese meeting, before the meeting, after the meeting and during the meeting. And the one time Chinese do not decide things, is during the actual meeting. Meetings are for maintaining harmony and relationships, decisions and arguments are made before and after.

Huge, mythical beasts with piercing eyes and gigantic, roaring mouths stand guard at many of China’s most important buildings and ancient structures. The name of these imposing creatures is “Fu Dogs” or Rui Shi (”auspicious dog” in Mandarin), also known as Imperial Guardian Lions.

Started during the Han Dynasty (206 B.C. – 220 A.D.), the tradition of placing two large statues of male and female lions near the entrance of an establishment was intended to ward off evil spirits and protect from enemies, and thieves. These statues were created from marble, bronze, iron, and granite and the cost was expensive, therefore only the wealthy could afford Fu Dog protection. Because of this, Fu Dogs became a symbol of wealth and prosperity. Read the rest of “Rui Shi - The Imperial Guardian Lions” or post a comment

Profiling the Chinese consumer

By Nick Debnam & George Svinos, KPMG

While hard work and plain living have been revered virtues of the Chinese people for generations, there has been a growth in demand for foreign-branded or imported goods.(19) But running counter to the growing habit of consumption in China is the traditional propensity to save. Though luxury consumption is growing, for most the dominant social idea is still prudent consumption and undertaking no more than you can perform. (20)

Research suggests that while the emerging middle class will continue to save heavily, they will also spend increasing amounts of money. (21) This is consistent with trends that suggest that China’s younger generation of teenagers and twenty-somethings show less of the caution of their parents and grandparents, and far more inclination to spend than to save.

For most foreigners, networking with Chinese can be a little tough. Well, thanks to a question we posted on LinkedIn Answers, we’re hoping to make things a little clearer. In brief:

They’re not that different

People often get so caught up in the differences that they fail to see the similarities between Chinese and western cultures. Just be yourself and don’t worry about skipping across the cultural minefield. Just as most of us would go easy on any local who made a social faux pas without knowing, local Chinese aren’t going to bite your head off if you accidentally put your foot in it.
