hm, Bob, I'm from China, but I'm not sure about this. what I know is that Chinese people(at least me) had no problem with any fingers pointing to them. after those movies from Hollywood came in to China, people started to realize that the middle finger has one more function. and I 'm pretty sure it's ok if you have to point you index finger to somebody in China.





Raptor, China has been changing a lot, I don't want to say too much about it, trust you own feelings, like Bob said, if you are not sure, always ask first. have a good trip and good luck!
