Dining table seating tip: In China's dining etiquette, it is very important to sit there. The main seat must be the person who pays the bill. The main seat refers to the right central position farthest from the door. The inviter's assistant sits opposite the main seat. The main guest and the deputy guest sit around the inviter, ranking third, and the fourth guest sits around the assistant. It is impolite to let the inviter sit face to face with the guest, or to let the guest sit at the main table.

The inviter can designate the guest's seat. His subordinates or juniors can also rank in a more important position than themselves. By allocating seats, China people hint at who is most important to him.
