An American businessperson nonchalantly dealt out his business card with one hand to a powerful Chinese factory owner and was cut out of the business deal because of this simple faux
pas.[i] Be careful not to ignore business etiquette because it seems traditional, backward, or outdated. You may consider yourself a modern person representing a cutting-edge firm of the future. Your Chinese counterparts may even encourage you to ignore their customs. Be warned: no one is above the rules of the game. [i] Loyalka (2006).
