Chinese processes operate through hierarchical structures where different levels have different authorities and responsibilities. Matters flow through proper channels; approvals come from appropriate positions; decisions follow hierarchical paths.
This creates clarity about who authorizes, who executes, and who reports. In Chinese contexts, understand where you sit in process hierarchies and act accordingly. Matters that need authorization should go through appropriate channels; decisions should come from appropriate levels; information should flow through proper paths. Working within hierarchical process demonstrates understanding; bypassing it creates problems even when intentions are good.
