Efforts are being made to open the market and to reform the laws and regulations. Reforms in the administrative system are also under way.

Chinese Courtesy
When doing business in China, it’s essential to observe the rules of courtesy rooted in the Confucian tradition. They stipulate a clear hierarchy that specifically applies to business transactions. When dealing with Chinese business professionals, it’s important never to state too directly what you want, thus always preserving your partner’s ability to “save face.” Requests in China always take the form of subtle hints. This is why it’s so important in China to detect the nuances of business conversations in order to avoid misunderstandings.
Instant quoteAnother important rule of Chinese courtesy is to display modesty and not brag about your abilities. When shaking hands, entrepreneurs should not be surprised if their Chinese partners offer a weak response. This traditional greeting form is not at all common in China and was only adopted by Chinese business professionals for their dealings with Westerners. Only a very loose handshake is considered proper. In addition, gifts are important to the maintenance of all business relations in China.
