This was required reading for the group of six of Ohio University students heading to China for a quarter in 2005. It is a rather boring reading for the standard reader but has good insight for a business traveler in China.
It has good info on food etiquette, how to toast properly in business company, saving face and how that causes people to behave etc.
The sections on saving face were terribly helpful to know before departing for any country in Asia but I felt I could have survived without the rest of the book.
