In China, You May Have an Appointment with a Client

Multiple Choice

In China, you may have an appointment with a client at noon. It is almost customary for you to show up after the appointment time. If you show up at 1 o'clock, or after, they probably will not think twice about your absence. If this same practice were to happen in the United States, you would probably have little chance of doing business because of it. This reflects the Chinese culture's view of ____ time.

A) discussion
B) appointment
C) message
D) schedule
E) acquaintance
