This could be doing or saying the wrong thing in business, within your family, or in daily social interactions. As a foreigner, you won\u2019t be expected to know all the rules, but in order to be as prepared as you can before your trip (and impress some locals along the way!) read over these four rules of etiquette in <a href=\"\/d\/china\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">China<\/a> and we promise you won&#8217;t go wrong.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\">1.

As the host will pay for the meal (don\u2019t expect any bill-splitting in China), show your respect by waiting for them to start eating and leaving food on the serving dishes for them to finish. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>DON\u2019T:<\/b> Most Chinese restaurants will not have forks and knives, so you will get quite good at using chopsticks during your trip. When you are done using them, make sure not to stick them into your bowl of rice, as this symbolizes death. Rest them on the table during your meal and on your bowl when you are finished eating. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\">3.

But be careful because the dialogue might go a little differently than you might expect.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>DO: <\/b>Expect<b> <\/b>to be asked lots of personal questions that you might not be used to receiving in your home country. People will not hesitate to ask about your age, income, or why you are not married yet. It\u2019s ok not to answer questions you are uncomfortable with, but don\u2019t get offended if someone asks why you are an unmarried adult over 25!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>DON\u2019T: <\/b>Avoid touchy subjects about Chinese politics. Chinese people will get offended if you appear to say anything negative about China and will take it as a personal affront. Try to steer clear of discussing North Korea, <a href=\"\/d\/taiwan\">Taiwan<\/a>, or the South China Sea. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\">4.
