Leaders:

If your visit to China includes some business or work-related venture you’ll be invited out by a leader or two, or three or more… China seems awash with leaders and leaders’ meals. Ordering large banquets to impress all and showing humbleness to the foreign guest, the evening will usually be long and alcohol induced. Usually, in an evening out, they will also be accompanied by a work colleague to ensure the evening’s events run smoothly and that the beer (or beware: the lethal beijew) is kept flowing freely. They will toast continuously to various friendships and you should do likewise – they will love it. You should show respect to them by flattering them or their character (and China for that matter) and just enjoy yourself. They love to see visitors enjoying themselves and hope their impression will be a positive one that’ll last forever. (SeeBeijew).
