WeiterlesenEtikette-Tipps
Use both hands when giving or receiving business cards or gifts as a sign of respect.
Use only one hand to offer or receive items, which can be seen as dismissive or impolite.
Place your chopsticks horizontally across your bowl or on a rest when you are not eating.
Stick your chopsticks vertically into a bowl of rice, as this resembles incense at a funeral and is an omen of death.
Politely offer to pay the entire bill when dining with Chinese hosts as a gesture of hospitality.
Attempt to split the bill (AA system) in a formal setting, as it can cause the host to lose face.
Use an open hand or a subtle nod to point or gesture toward someone.
Point at people with your index finger, as it is considered aggressive and rude.
