Sourcing & Import from China Tips and Guide

In China, a hand shake is considered to be the standard greeting. Instead of shaking hands very firmly, the Chinese prefer to shake hands very lightly and for as long as ten seconds.
As not everyone may greet you with a handshake, it may be a good idea to wait for your Chinese counterpart to extend their hand to you as others may use a nod or slight bow may be used to greet you instead.

Additionally, you might also see Chinese people lowering their eyes a little when they meet people. This is considered a symbol of respect as staring into the eyes might make some people feel uncomfortable.
