Cultural tips
When the Chinese people receive gifts, they always say "no, no, I can't take it". Actually this is just polite formula. Even after they accept it, they would not open the gift in front of the present-giver. They also believe that only a valuable gift is presentable and can best convey their feelings. This is why Chinese people often use precious or expensive items as gifts.
