sides felt about the
situations?

I think that the Chinese took it as a lack
of respect for the punctuality and
commitment of the meetings that are of
importance.
Brazilians may have felt sorry for the
delay or simply saw it as normal due to
different cultures。

4. For the next meeting
with the Chinese, what
could the Brazilians do
differently?
For the next meeting, the Brazilians should
arrive on time, since punctuality is something
cultural in China, and they should also start
the meeting at the indicated time. If they have
to eat or do other things outside the meeting,
they should leave them for later or do them
before
