I am a musician and I will be touring China. I decided that I should read a book on Chinese etiquette. I found this book somewhat helpful, but not as much as I would like. Most of the book seems geared to a large business that wants to operate in China. There were many helpful tips, but I felt that for a vacationer, or casual visit that this book was not really what you would want. If you do own a company and want to do business in China, this would be a good FIRST book. You would want a more in depth reading after.
No one wants to be the ugly AMerican who does something to insult a person of another country. I think the book has helpful tips. But lets face it until I get to China (not for another month) I really won't know how helpful the book was. (thus the 4 star rating instead of 5 star))
The book was very informative with respect what I need to know to get started in China. Now I will need to see how accurate the information is I'll let you know in two weeks. Two items that really stood out. One how the Chinese people act and and why. I have been exposed to a lot of this and the book is very accurate. Next I found it very useful to learn some of the words. Sure someone will have to teach me how to pronounce them correctly but it's a start. I would recommend this book to anyone that has never been to China and that is going on business.
Any business with regular interactions in China needs ETIQUETTE GUIDE TO CHINA: it surveys all kinds of etiquette routines, from greeting people while on a trip to behaving well in town, in the boardroom or in social situations. Easily-understood Chinese vocabulary accompanies details on everyday expressions, common faux pas, and what rules make a big difference in relations with the Chinese. Every business library - and many a general-interest collection strong in Chinese travel guides - needs this.Diane C. DonovanCalifornia Bookwatch
Great book and handy guide with lots of helpful information. Not overwhelming but has excellent tips. I will find out if it is accurate when I visit China.
