Addis Ababa Business Pulse

Culture Diplomatic and growing rapidly. Home to the African Union.
Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
Pro Tip Ideal window for calls is 9:30 AM to 12:00 PM. Ethiopia uses its own unique 12-hour clock (counting from 6 AM as "Hour 1"); always clarify "European Time" or "GMT/UTC" when scheduling to avoid confusion. Business is polite, formal, and values personal trust.

Guangzhou Business Pulse

Culture Pragmatic and trade-focused. Known for "Canton Fair" and a deep history in international commerce.
Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
Pro Tip The 12-2 PM lunch window is very important; avoid calling then. Best times are 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM and 2:30 PM - 4:30 PM. While Cantonese is the local language, Mandarin is the business standard for non-locals. Pragmatism and efficiency are highly valued in this major trade hub.
