Kinshasa Business Pulse
- Culture Developing and informal but with a growing corporate sector. Relationships are key.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Call between 9:30 AM and 12:00 PM for the best response. French is the primary business language; ensure you have a translator or are fluent for technical discussions. Personal relationships and face-to-face (or video) interactions are highly valued over cold emails.
Tianjin Business Pulse
- Culture Major port city. Practical, industrial, and trade-oriented.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Aim for 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM. As a major northern port, business is practical and industrial. Close ties with Beijing mean a similar emphasis on hierarchy and formal protocol. Avoid the 12-1:30 PM lunch break and major public holidays.
