The week-long National Day holiday at the beginning of October is a firm favorite among Chinese employees. It is a prime time for them to ask for leave to go traveling or visit relatives in other cities. However, if you are about to write an email to your Chinese boss to ask for 20 days of annual leave to travel somewhere in China, then I really have to stop you right there!

By ROBERT PARKINSON Every Chinese is proud of their country’s 5,000 years of cultural history. However, if people from the Western world were to interpret this culture in the wrong way, it would be quite difficult to communicate.

Expats are normally confused as to why Chinese people always ask them whether they have eaten – anytime […]
