Chinese way of thinking, thus the Chinese way of doing business

I’ve gathered a few facts about living and working in China ever since I relocated to Shanghai on the year 2006. Facts are either learned through readings in articles, magazines, newspapers and books or through actual exposure on situation and/or at times through investigating personally.

 

As a foreign national in Mainland China, there are large differences in thinking that makes China a Bizarre place. Equally Bizarre are mindset of foreigners from a Chinese point of view.

 

Foreigners have their own story to share about China, thoughts within the Expat community in China goes like:  if you have been in China for a week, you can almost write a book. After you have been in China for a month, you can almost write a short article. After you have been in China for a year, you keep silent. The point is the more you learn about China, the more you realize there is simply too much to learn.


Would like to share the link for the time being, as I trust it will help foreign companies to be cautious on their transactions with Chinese suppliers.

Re: Chinese way of thinking, thus the Chinese way of doing business

Firstly,excuse my enquiry:Aren't you a Chinese.?

If so,you will never be a patriotic Chinese.

The word we are living at sure it is diversiform.If things comes out in this,it has a contrary form in that.If not exist the moment yet,however,it will soon comes.Old enough to know,good things arosed accompanied with evil.The description comes with something emothional in despite of comparation.

I am not going to be at the connivance of those fraud,but as any normal mental guys how could we just grumble others in public?Now, if you are 180tall,could you expect any guy is just as tall as you were?If you are 150 only?;On the contrary,say,suppose you admire Japan,U.S.,but will you also grumble for the act of warII and deliberate invasion??

Only man who is clear enough to manage his own business.

I am not a Chinese National, but am residing in China now. I am sharing the differences of culture to fellow foreigners, for them to appreciate China, since chances are with the cultural differences will end up with misunderstanding.
