Every time I come home from college, my family and I would go out to yumcha or, as directly translated from Cantonese, to “drink tea. However, drinking tea is only one component of yumcha. To yumcha is to converse with company over a meal of many small dishes and hot tea. Going yumcha is social activity brought to the United States by the people from the Guangdong region of China, also known as Cantonese people. When they immigrated to the United States, yumcha became an important tradition because it also enabled Cantonese parents to socialize their children into the Chinese culture through the language and social practices involved in the meal and the ritual and meaning surrounding the tea. However, to Chinese-Americans such as myself, going yumcha with native Chinese people also emphasized my American identity due to my food choices. Yet when I go yumcha with non-Chinese people, I become distinctly aware of my Chinese identity when they fail the language or rituals of this tradition. The only time when I do not feel alienated during yumcha is when I go with my other

Then she came to the U.S to study english education at the university of oregon. She wants to teach english in China. Shiqi Wu said that she loves being outside in the U.S better than in china, because the U.S has a better environment, and there are trees and grass all over. She also likes how there are less people here, and how she can greet everyone she walks past, “In china, If you tried to do that, you would break your neck!” Before she came to the U.S, she thought that people would be so easy to get along with, because Americans are so open minded and there are so many different kinds of people. However, she found that it's hard to tell when people are being genuine or just being polite. She also said that americans communicate much more directly the they do in china. If an american wants something they say, ‘I want that’, whereas in china people tend to go about it differently and don't directly say what they want. Shiqi Wu has not found it hard to adjust how she communicates, she likes direct communication better because it's easier! It was great fun, and a great honor for me to interview

In my opinion their parents were Chinese and not all of them can speak English well. I am curious about how they communicate to their parent, their life in US.

The geographical area of China is more than 9 million square kilometers and as a result, it is the fourth largest country in the world. There are several ethnic groups in China, the Han Chinese is the largest group, and it is found in almost all parts of the country. Other minority groups include Tibetan, Zhuang, Korean, and Mongol. The Chinese society is high context and non-verbal. The Chinese people acquire the knowledge of what they are supposed to do and say even if they are not told through conversation. Voice and facial expressions play a critical role in determining the feelings in a person. They do not have facial expressions when in a conversation. Direct eye contact is avoided because it is viewed as a symbol of disrespect (Clair & Norris, 2011).

Chinese would not do any agreement or trade that could harm their relationship with others. Lastly, Chinese are very polite and indirect. They try as hard to prevent the relationship from

With the unstoppable trend of globalisation, it becomes extremely significant for international businesses to have a thorough understanding of different cultures. Hofstede (1980, pp. 21-23) defines culture as ‘the collective programming of the mind distinguishing the members of one group or category of people from another’. This essay examines Hofstede’s cultural framework and suggests that Hofstede’s cultural framework is an outstanding and authoritative tool to analyze culture differences.

Finally, recommendations on cross-cultural management between China and Australia will be provided.

The five weeks of the Cultural aspects of international business course have been a truly enriching life experience for me. I must admit that I was a little skeptical about the value proposition of the course as I thought this was going to be one of those purely theoretical pro-diversity lectures with no potential for practical application. However, the fact that Professor Lane co-authored the textbook intrigued me so much (I have never had a Professor who actually wrote the textbook for the course) that I decided to give it a chance and sign-up for the course.

The Chinese culture is very past-oriented with some aspects of present-oriented as well. The Chinese culture values their past, it is reflected in all aspects of life, such as much of the city's ancient buildings and respect for old men (Shi 2011). The dying patient of Chinese descent will spend a lot of time reminiscing on past mistakes, honor, and dead loved ones.
