Over the past decade, China has undergone immense shifts in its cultural, economic, and political systems that have changed its face as a nation, as well as its role in international politics. Encountering the Chinese provides fundamental information on Chinese values and cultural norms, identifying cross-cultural factors that often lead to failed business negotiations and misunderstandings.
With vital information on communicating and interacting with Chinese people in both business and social contexts, this book will enable Westerners and Chinese to establish more effective and rewarding relationships, inside and outside of China. Specific topics include forms of address and greeting, dining, visiting, education, negotiation, the Chinese notions of humility and 'face', and advice for westerners living in China.
