That's the skin color they are talking about!

AGE NO BAR!

Drinking and smoking is socially acceptable. In fact this country consumes these two products at the maximum levels. They also do not have any rules about selling these products to teenagers. However, strangely despite this large scale freedom, you will not find a lot of youngsters on the streets smoking/drinking. This is perhaps because of the social norms!

NO TOUCH POLICY!

Unless they are meeting foreigners for formal meetings or meals, Chinese do not like the idea of contact. They only shake hands when absolutely professional and that too only with non-Chinese people.
