I deal with Asians all the time... and can attest to Cynthetiq's notes above.
My Japanese clients almost as a rule are very formal with their cards, as are many of my Chinese clients.
NEVER take a card and put it in your wallet and then put your wallet back in your pants pocket. The best place to put it in a case in your inside jacket pocket (next to your heart) or in your portfolio... and don't write on the card or staple it to something... (until they are out of sight anyway).
I had never read that it is good from to put the card on the table in order of the way people sit... I just do this because I am bad with names and it allows me to reference their names as the meeting progresses.
