Etiquette • Appropriate public conducts • The Chinese will nod or bow slightly as an initial greeting. Handshakes are also popular; wait, however, for your Chinese counterpart to initiate the gesture. • The traditional Chinese greeting is a bow. When bowing to a superior, you should bow more deeply and allow him or her to rise first. • Recognize and greet the most senior or elderly person in a group first, and politely inquire about his or her health. • Do not pat people on the shoulder or initiate any physical contact; it is not appreciated. • The Chinese may communicate in closer proximity than is common in the United States. • Public displays of affection between the sexes are frowned upon.
