It's generally best to respond to their bow, but if you're unsure, a polite, slight bow as you greet them is fine. Also, remember to exchange business cards, or 'meishi,' with two hands, and always treat it with reverence, never putting it immediately into your pocket.
English
通常最好回应他们的鞠躬，但如果你不确定，在问候他们时，一个礼貌的，轻微的鞠躬是可以的。另外，记得双手交换名片，即“名刺”，并且要始终以敬意对待它，绝不能立即放入口袋。
