Hello all,
As my first visit to china to do Business what type of Gift should I consider giving to Company as I visit. Is this normal Business in China or not welcome?
In Thailand where I have close friends giving some Bottle of nice Whiskey or like is normal on each visit but dont no in China.
Are Tips normal also ?
Thanks for your help

It depends on you. Everyone will be happy for receiving a gift. To receive is always happier than to give.

Thanks,
Yes I agree, it is best to share and be kind. Sometimes westerners expect to be big boss and not respect supplier or worker. This wrong as without the factory worker the Big company have nothing.
Share and care.

1- If it is the existing biz supplier, I suggest you can consider gifts.
But if it is new supplier and no biz start yet, I don't suggest.

2-TIPS: It depends on you .Some of my foreign friends do, some people not.

Yours sincerely,
Susan
