Culture differences:

1.Respect the old more,son has the obligation to support the old parents.If the son did not support his old parents,he would be seen as immoral,and the parents may sue him and force him pay the money for his parents.It is an ancient tradition for thousands of years.Also,when u don't agree with some one,u should speak it indirectly.

2.Focus on education more.Spend at least 30% income on child's education.

3.Have more relationship among relatives and friends.That is too say,they have a big family tradition,some even have family tree book for thousands of years,some have ancestral shrine,but some of them are ruined during the culture revolution in 1960s.But the culture remains,relatives always help each others and borrow money from each other,also,in some important events like Marriage or illness,they give money to the host to show support.And the host should open a banquet to invite hundreds of people for Marriage and showing thanks.

4People have wider social circle,having dinners nearly every 2 to 3 day at 30s.Chinese dinner is not western dinner,Chinese dinner is like some party,just focus on eating and sitting around the table and drinking.There are many table manners to show respect to the old.And the quiet restaurant would be considered as bad,the noisy restaurant is considered as lively and prosperous.After dinner,they go to KTV to sing,or go to Teahouse to play Majiang or Poker,After that,in the midnight they go eating barbeque in some restaurants,and after that some of them go to some public bathhouse to enjoy some particular service(u know that).Some of them may go home.SO Chinese business man and officers are very busy everyday.Coz these parties are not just for fun,are also for network(guanxi).Without network(guanxi),doing business would be hard.Coz people only do things with familiar people.

however,only young people like the bars.Most people seldom go to bars,that is different from west.

5West write from small to big,while Chinese write from big to small.for example,when write address,they write the country,province,city,town,district,stre... number,room number,then name.But in west,it is opposite.Also,when write about time,they write 2010-12-3,while westerners write 12-3-2010.

6.Also,west regard personal rights bigger than country rights,while Chinese regard Country rights above personal rights.It is an ancient tradtion.That is why though they donlt like CCP,they still would not like foreigners criticize CCP.Coz it is a national honor.

7.Different views toward animals.Dogs are viewed as food like sheep in China.While west regard dogs as pets.

8.Table manner.They don't use knife and fork on table,coz fork and knife are regared as dangerous and barbaric in ancient time.They cut the meat before it is put on table.

9.Parents have great influence in marriage.Also,without a house,it would be hard to marry a girl.Sex before marriage is also believe not good,but many people do that.Also,1-child policy does not mean most families have one child.In fact,most families have 2 kids.Only some officers and teachers in big cities should follow the rule strictly,the media hype too much about it.

10.About politics.No more commies.There is no commie culture in China.Everything should be paid by money.No one likes commie theory at all.Now communist is only a name in China.They don't abandon the name coz they are focusing on economy and they don't want to cause riots.Maybe in 15 to 20 years they would give up the name of communism totally.

11.about education u r wrong.Students get into school only by score,no one cares whether u r a girl or boy.There are more girls in top colleges than boys.Woman don't do much housework as western,coz woman have jobs in day time.Of course students can look at teachers.They don't look at people is just shy or manner,not afraid.
