Be a smart buyer by understanding Chinese cultrure !
Understanding Chinese
culture will help you to know your Chinese partners better.
Chinese
express their idea and emotion in a circuitous
way ,while western people are more logic and rational.
For example if you file a
proposal that your chinese partners can not agree, chinese will say”maybe talk about it later ".However,he will not discuss it anymore. He will not say no
directly,which is a impolite way of expression in his thoughts.
So please confirm again when you hear the words"maybe later","probably sometimes", which date? is it confirmed? . By double checking, you will get the true answers, which will avoid some mistakes and confusion.
