礼轻情义重
The exchange of gifts is an ordinary and necessary part of social intercourse in China because it is the way you show your respect and appreciation of the other party. As for the value of the gift, Chinese people believe that, as the saying goes, “A trifling/small Gift Carries Profound Friendly Sentiments”. If cooperation and harmonious relations with your partners are essential to you, don’t forget a meaningful gift presented on the appropriate occasion.
