Belangrijkste feiten: China
Christmas is a commercial and decorative season in large cities, not a traditional business gifting occasion.
Cultuur van eindejaarsgeschenken: China
In mainland China the key corporate gifting moments are Spring Festival (Lunar New Year) and the Mid-Autumn Festival, when companies send gift boxes to clients, distributors and staff. Christmas is visible in shopping districts and is used by multinational firms for year-end greetings, but it does not replace Spring Festival. Gifts are usually presented with both hands, and recipients may not open them in front of the giver. Packaging matters: red and gold are associated with luck and celebration, and a well-presented box is often valued as much as the contents. Gifts to state-owned enterprises and government officials are subject to strict internal rules, so modest, clearly branded items are the safer choice. Cards can be in English for international teams, but a Chinese greeting is appreciated for local partners. Plan deliveries well before Spring Festival, as logistics and offices slow down for several weeks around the holiday.

Ontwerp en tekst
Neutral 'Season's Greetings' or New Year designs work best; Christmas themes suit multinational teams.
Cadeaubeleid
Gifts to public officials and state-owned enterprise staff are tightly restricted under anti-corruption rules; keep gifts modest and documented.
Levering: China
Ships from Poland by courier; import duties and VAT apply. Food imports into China require labeling in Chinese and importer registration, so chocolate and tea for commercial distribution need a local importer.
