China table manners:

Don't burp when eating, and don't make other noises. If there are involuntary noises such as sneezing and bowel sounds, you should say something like "I'm sorry", "I'm sorry" and "Please forgive me" to apologize.

If you want to serve food to your guests or elders, you'd better use public chopsticks, or you can send food far away from them. According to the custom of our Chinese nation, dishes are served one by one. If there are leaders, old people and guests at the same table, please ask them to move chopsticks first whenever a new dish is served, or take turns asking them to move chopsticks first to show their attention.
