THE CORONAVIRUS pandemic has led to some testy moments in diplomatic relations between China and the democratic world. 

There is plenty of scope for misunderstandings. 

 Chinese culture is more collectivist and displays a greater respect for authority than elsewhere.

employees should never shoot down a boss’s idea directly. If there is a difficulty in implementing the plan, they should blame it on outside factors.

employees are expected to attend after-work functions(a social event or official ceremony ) as a way of showing team spirit.

eg:This room may be hired for weddings and other functions.

Another problem is that foreign employees can find it hard to work their way up the career ladder. 

Slides tend to be packed with detail as a way of imparting information.
