   I think there are at least two differences in the way of business between Chinese and American bussinessmen.


  First, Chinese tend to have business negotiation 1 in a rather indirect manner,as opposed to a direct manner of American businessmen. Chinese take time to see whether their prospective 2 business contacts are really reliable as human beings, for example, by inviting 3 them to a party and socializing with them. In contrast, Americans act with "get-down-to-business-first" mentality 4.
  Second, the decision-making process of Chinese companies is considered to be very slow and time-consuming. This is because most Chinese companies have the bottom-up decision-making system which involves many people in the decision-making, as opposed to the American companies which usually operate with quick decisions made by the top management.
  I hope American businessmen will understand these differences in business practices and adjust to the Chinese way of business.
  Notes:
  way of business: 经商之道
  indirect:婉转的
  as opposed to :相对于
  prospective business partners (contacts):将来的交易对象
  socialize:交际
  in contrast :相对地
  decision-making:决策
  time-consuming:耗时
