Make a Introduction (a comprehensive introduction about Malaysia and Saudi Arabia and their relationship is present)

Saudi Arabia and China have a relationship that they both put high on a pedestal. Out of all couatries that benelie from Sauci Anabia's oil, China is the country that has dealt with them the mont throughout time diespite Saudi Arabia and China having nothing to do with each other until the end of the 1980 . Since Saudi Arabia's style is collectivism, which concerns priorititing groups, loyalty and communication as opposed to individualism and personal autonomy Saudi Arabia mixes personal affairs with their business in order to promote collectivism libe China. They are more comfortable doing business with people they can count on and depend on. As China is also a country that is collectivist, which they have in common with Saud, thus, the merging of such cultures provides a sense of connechion that would be lacking with nations such as Canada or Australia. They don't like dealing with their business through contracts or externally as much as they like to build their relationships from relationships and trust. The Chinese have a history of multi-party cooperation and consultation from one another in which they expect neighboring land and potential allies to follow when dealing with them. Since the econemic role of China in the world is towering. Nora should not worry too much about any surprises that would interfere with Apha. For preparation, we should consider the pattem of inflation in China, and since Apha deals in the manufacturing of clothes. the 1.5% drop in cost they experience every vear is important when considerine value. Every country has a certain protocol you need to follow in otder to impress them in business meetings. First of all, when conducting a meeting with China, being on time is important. When you first enter the meeting room, the highest level of seniority (the oldest relevant position) should be the first one that you shake hands with. When you and vour firm are introducing vourselves in the meeting, fine up in order. The head of the firm leading the line comes first, and especially if the meeting you are having with them is the first, don't try to get a deal or contract from the first meeting. Chinese people like warming things up in the beginnine and gettine to know who they are dealing with as it displays a sense of trust since the Chinese will observe the foreigners as a symbol of the business. You need to show them that you are trustwoetty and have personal conversations. Obviously, there is a dress code that needs to be followed. Men should wear dark-colored suits, and women should wear suits or high-neck dresses. Obviousty both need to be dressed conservatively as a sign of respect and following protocol. Chinese people would not appreciate gifts or any sort of presents brought to a business meeting, in fact, they could possibly be insulted by themot accept them. Refrain from forming aty physical contact duting the meetings unless you are greeting somebody or being greeted. If a Saudi was to conduct a business meeting in China, peeferably it should be one where they would dine sornewhere as Chinese people prefer their business done while eating together to show a sense of aftinity. Alpha company would also need to consider the Chinese political and legal systems while Betting into business with the retall company, and ascertain the possible influence of political participants such as the CPC (Chinese Communist Partyl. With regards to the clvil law legal syitem, China bears over the judiciary, it would be safe to assume that statutory provisions when conducting dealings for Alpha wile not stray far from Saudi's Sharia syttem. This is because judicial review and interpretation will remain prevalent through old case law from previous courses of dealings. Furthermore, a concern that should be noted would be the penalty of nationalizing newfound industries (potentially Alpha), which would lead to detriments such as expropriation, and contractual repudiation once the Chinese are able to get government intervention. The polities of China can have positive and negative impacts on the overall dealing with Alpha. For example, China is a leader in employment opportunities which would be a needed export if a company were to be formed there, Since their workforce is uinmatched, and activism has becorne a slow practice, we can see problems that were onte the root of concern being solved. On the other hand, the Chinese political climate when it attracts foreign investment is never trustworthy. This happens as China is known to cut off joint ventures and manufacturing plants because foreign investment can be restricted because of the civit law proceedings. But even if the political clinate of China can be shaky, it has preven to be very resourceful to the GDP, and the economic boom that China experienced since 1978. In conclusion, business dealings with China should be easy to come across considering Saudi Arabla has already demonstrated a deep connection with them for upwards of 40 vears. As our culture has similarities rooted in the dealings with new business associates, it would be no trovble for Nora to reach out to them without overstepping any boundaries we are not already used to. Athouch China is known for only supporting its own people and overturning foreign investment, they are bound to support the contractual duties associated with the civil law code they recognize and uphoid
