What behaviors exist only in China?

 If you only compare it to Germany…based on my personal observations

  1. In China, girls like to hold hands with each other.

2. In China, the old and the young receive money—cash—during the Spring Festival.

3. In China, it's acceptable to walk around with your stomach exposed.

4. In China, things given by elders, especially gifts, are usually received with both hands.

5. In China, we divide umbrellas into parasols and general umbrellas. People pay particular attention to sun protection and use parasols on sunny days.

6. To prevent students from using mobile phones during lectures/seminars, Chinese universities may... possibly do this...
