Generally, Chinese people are quite culturally inclusive, especially when you show respect for their history and culture. That said, be mindful of the following taboos when traveling in China:

1. Avoid political discussions.
2. Taiwan is an integral part of China.
3. China has 56 diverse ethnic groups. Follow etiquette in religious sites and clan halls, such as no loud noise or touching statues.
4. In regions with toast customs, politely decline if you don't drink, or you might be overwhelmed by continuous toasts.
5. Stay away from military sensitive areas to avoid misunderstandings.
6. Big cities like Shanghai and Beijing have strict smoking bans. In other places, people may offer cigarettes; politely decline if you don't smoke.
7. Some people are reserved, and some dialects may sound like arguing. Don't worry—China is safe with widespread surveillance.
