Features: Practical Business Japanese for International Trade is a Japanese business textbook primarily focused on foreign trade correspondence and international economic and trade negotiations. Its main purpose is to enable Japanese major students to acquire professional knowledge of the Japanese language while firmly grasping the fundamental concepts of international economic and trade, thereby cultivating more versatile talents for China's four modernization drive. The book is divided into two main parts. The first part is foreign trade correspondence, and the second part is international economic and trade negotiations. The correspondence section primarily uses written language, while the negotiation section focuses on spoken conversational style. Through the study of this textbook, students can not only master the writing methods of Japanese business correspondence but also learn oral expressions for international economic and trade negotiations. The correspondence section follows the procedures of foreign trade transactions, starting from inquiry and offer, including counter-offer, acceptance, shipment, insurance, opening of letters of credit, and claims. Each lesson consists of a text (specific examples of correspondence), vocabulary, translation exercises, and supplementary reading. This part is mainly written by Liang Shuxin. The negotiation section covers the welcoming and farewell of Japanese economic and trade delegations, toasts at banquets, China's foreign trade policies, as well as visits and introductions to factories and economic development zones. Additionally, it includes contract establishment, goods packaging, transportation, and insurance. Based on the realities of China's international economic and trade work, it also incorporates content such as technology trade and contract manufacturing trade. Each lesson consists of a text, vocabulary, exercises, and trade basic knowledge. This part is mainly written by Liu Shumei.
