Because "ten winds and different customs", the same gift will be given different meanings in different countries, regions and nationalities.

In view of this, no matter how to choose gifts for other people in foreign affairs, they should not offend each other's taboos.

According to experience, there are nine kinds of articles that are not suitable for gifts in foreign affairs. They are collectively referred to as "nine foreign exchanges."

The first category is a certain amount of cash.

Securities.

Goods that do not accept cash, negotiable securities or real value exceeding a certain amount are not only a routine occupational taboo, but also regarded as a proper measure to combat corruption and build a clean government.

The second category is natural jewellery, precious metal ornaments and other manufactured goods.

The reasons are the same as those of the first group.

The third category is pharmaceuticals, supplements and health products.

In foreign countries, the individual's health is "absolute privacy". The drugs, supplements and health care products directly linked to the health status are often not welcomed.

The fourth category is advertising and publicity materials.

If an item with obvious advertising, publicity or logo is sent to the other party, it will be misunderstood as intentionally using the other party or taking advantage of political and commercial publicity.

The fifth category is objects that offend the recipient.

If the variety, shape, color, pattern, number or implication of the gift itself offends the recipient's personal, professional, ethnic or religious taboos, it will make the gift behavior fall short.

The sixth category is items that are easily misunderstood by the opposite sex.

When giving gifts to the opposite sex, be sure to think twice before making a mistake. Don't make a fool of yourself, give gifts or love gifts to the other side.

The seventh category is made of rare animals or pets as raw materials.

In order to protect the ecological environment and protect rare animals, we should not give such goods in the international community.

The eighth category is gifts that are contrary to the existing social norms.

The existing social norms refer not only to our current social norms, but also to the existing social norms in the countries where the contacts are located, so as to avoid crossing the boundaries of law and morality.

The ninth category involves articles involving state secrets and trade secrets.

In foreign affairs, our personnel must have a high sense of national security and a sense of secrecy.

For the foreigners, we should pay attention to people and honesty, and guard against them.

No core secrets such as internal documents, statistical data, summary of circumstances, technical drawings, production patents, etc. shall be sent out at random.
