When you do business in China, you may come across a common contractual clause. This clause stipulates that if issues arise, the contracted parties will discuss them and the contract may potentially be redrafted. China is a relationship-based culture. Someone from a rule-based culture, like most Western societies, will likely take issue with this clause.
