Beijing Business Pulse
- Culture Hierarchical and focused on long-term strategy. Government relations often influence business timing.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Call between 10:00 AM and 11:30 AM or 2:00 PM and 4:30 PM. Ensure your communication follows hierarchical lines—always address the most senior person first. Like Shanghai, avoid calling during the 12-1:30 PM lunch/nap window and major national holidays.
Vancouver Business Pulse
- Culture Professional but influenced by the West Coast lifestyle. Values sustainability.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Best times for calls are 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Vancouver is a major hub for tech and entertainment; the vibe is professional but often more relaxed than Toronto or NYC. Like Seattle, it has a strong coffee culture and values a healthy work-life balance.
