The card should be held in both hands when offered to the other person; offering it with one hand is considered ill mannered. When receiving a card, use two hands and study it. Acknowledge it with thanks and initiate conversation, when feasible. Use an interpreter, if available, to make sure you are communicating correctly and/or understanding the other person correctly. Do not miss an opportunity to develop an appropriate new business contact, as relationships, called guanxi in Mandarin, remain very important in China.

U.S. exports to China are expected to continue to grow in all subsectors through 2017. Over the last several years, the construction market in China has grown more modestly as the country looks to shift toward a services-led economy and more sustainable construction policies. One area that will continue to see expanded investment is infrastructure, with as the Chinese government's 'One Belt, One Road' initiative providing opportunities for the country to accelerate transport infrastructure projects. As such, China is expected to maintain its position as the world’s largest construction market and account for a significant share of all new global construction between now and 2020. China’s Increasing Emphasis on Green Building Increasing urbanization and national commitments to conserve resources and reduce greenhouse gas emissions drive China’s steady commitment to expand the green portion of its massive construction market. In 2014, the State Council Green Building Action Plan mandated that public buildings such as schools, hospitals, museums, stadiums, and affordable housing, as well as any single building area over 20,000 square meters, such as airports, railway stations, hotels, restaurants, shopping malls, offices, and other large public buildings, must meet the green building standards of China’s 3-Star Rating System GBEL (The Green Building Evaluation Label). This system is administered by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development (MOHURD) and evaluates projects based on six categories: land, energy, water, resource/material efficiency, indoor environmental quality, and operational management. Besides China’s 3-Star rating system, the U.S. Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification is also prevalent in China. In 2015, LEED-certified Grade A office buildings exceeded 5.6 million square meters across 10 major cities in greater China, an increase of 7.4 percent from the previous year, and accounting for 28 percent of the total market, according to a new report published by CBRE and USGBC. The report, “Towards Excellence: Market Performance of Green Commercial Buildings in the Greater China Region," builds upon CBRE’s 2015 report, "New Era of China’s Green Buildings," which found that rental premiums for LEED-certified Grade A offices in key mainland China cities— including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Chengdu—enjoy a higher average rental performance ranging from 10 to 30 percent and are better positioned to weather a downward commercial real estate market. In China’s tier two cities, such as Chengdu, Tianjin, Hangzhou and Wuhan, LEED-certified Grade A office buildings cover a floor area of nearly one million square meters, accounting for an estimated 18 percent of the total Grade A office area. Smart Cities Increased and intentional urbanization has also driven creating smart cities across China. China’s 13th FYP reveals that the country aims to optimize urban space through public transport, high-capacity infrastructure, mixed-use development, and green city planning. This will spur smart city development with greater use of low-carbon technology and new energy systems. In support of the nation’s objectives, the National Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Ministry of Public Security, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Land and Resources, Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and Ministry of Transport collectively drafted the “Guidance for Facilitating the Healthy Development of Smart Cities” in 2014. According to the Guidance, China will launch constructions in 10 areas: Smart Transportation, Smart Grid, Smart Water Utility, Smart Environmental Protection, Smart Health Care, Smart Pension, Smart Community, Smart Household, Smart Education, and Smart National Land. At present, the relevant government departments and various cities in China are
