[Country] Taiwan [Topics and behaviour to avoid] Avoid talking about politics and the relationship between Taiwan and Mainland China. Western men should not extend their hands to Taiwanese women in a greeting. A nod of the head is appropriate. Taiwanese people appreciate plenty of personal space. Save criticism for private occasions before or after class. Never purposely embarrass your students.
It is common for Taiwanese people to expect each other to read between the lines. You will rarely hear an actual “no” for an answer. Be careful not to mix up the history or culture of Asian countries or assume that things are the same in all of them.
