China has a long history, rich in culture, practice and tradition. Many Chinese people believe that one must first become a “mature person” before being able to accomplish “things”. In a traditional Chinese cultural framework, a “mature person” understands and abides by commonly accepted principles of conduct in each and every “thing” or undertaking. Tradition endures even in China’s modern, dynamic state and reveals the importance of using Chinese business and social protocol in interacting with local Chinese people.
