 Being late for an appointment is considered a
serious insult in Chinese business culture.
Store hours are 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., daily.
Most stores in Shanghai, however, remain open
until 10:00 p.m.
Most
Chinese workers take a break between 12:00 p.m.-
2:00 p.m. Practically everything "shuts down"
during this period, including elevator and phone
services.
 The
best times for scheduling appointments are April
to June and September to October.
When scheduling your appointments, be sensitive
to holidays such as Chinese New Year. During May
Day, or the National Day, many businesses will
be closed for up to a week during this period.
The date of this occasion varies from year to
year due to an official advisory to allow the
long holidays.
Business and government hours are 8:00 a.m. to
5:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday. There is,
however, a five-day work week in larger cities.
Do avoid plans to visit government offices on
Friday afternoon, because this is sometimes
reserved for 'political studying' of the
officials.
 When dealing with China,
you should be sensitive to their traditions and
beliefs.
