English

OK, gift-giving is a common practice among Chinese who interact. If we break it down by objective, we can say that there is official gift-giving and personal gift-giving. Official gift-giving, for example, [involves] social functions or public relations. People give, say a company’s representative products or some souvenirs. [By doing so] People can, on the one hand, use gift-giving to, um, to further a relationship with their business targets. On the other hand, they can disseminate their company’s image or its products. Uh, as for personal, giving gifts on a personal basis, generally, generally, people use it primarily to communicate [their] feelings, or to strengthen or hold their personal relationships together. Their gift-giving, gift-giving approach is also different. Say private individuals are giving gifts, they’ll be, be particular about them. You can’t give anything too cheap. But you also can’t give something excessively expensive. In this situation, if you give something too expensive, they probably won’t accept it. If you give something too cheap, they’ll think you don’t think much of your friendship with them. Another aspect of this is the setting. That is, in my view, generally situations where there are a lot of people aren’t really appropriate for giving gifts. It’s a private thing. It’s best if it’s just you and the person you’re giving the gift to. I really hope that these points have been helpful to you. Thanks.
