The best way to understand a foreign culture is to become one of them. If you have the opportunity, you will be able to highlight the differences and probably create better communication in between.

These 2 cultures are so different from each other, and my biggest thought is that how did they get into this situation at the first place? I would have thought thrice before organising the dinner.

Nobody should have to compromise their culture. If you move to a different country you should be aware of the way they work, but through taking your own culture with you maybe you will come up with something great together with the new culture you are adopting.

As for work life, we can't avoid of picking up their habits regarding working hours and so on. In other aspects of life, or even in some aspects of work I'd say to stay respectful and accept their way of doing things but keep your own identity.

Once again, they could have gained knowledge on the other culture beforehand, especially since they differ from each other so much. I believe that if you are active in the business world you must know that Chinese culture differs from western in almost all aspects. But also, the Chinese should have done the same.

They did some research. About diet restrictions but they did not research enough. They specifically said they abided by Canadian customs of hosting but they could have stated this to the Chinese and asked them what do they do to host. What are their traditions? So the Chinese didn’t think them rude.

Have someone to advise the Canadians about the Chinese culture for social events, or make some background research themselves about how to host social events for Chinese visitors.

The Spanish and British business culture and life style differs from each other and he should not expect the other half to act as he likes if he cannot accept the way they act. They should have discussed beforehand and should have gotten knowledge on the other's culture in general.

Paul seems to be monochromic where javier seems to be polychronic. The presentation should have been paused whenever there was an interruption. But at the end Paul should have communicated his discomfort and explain his views, so Javier could understand and reassure Paul and their differences and come to a compromise
