People
General Attitudes: The Chinese are noted for hospitality and
reserve. They are very proud of their nation’s long history and of past
Chinese achievements. They do not appreciate external criticism.
They believe doing what they can for each other when called upon while
the central government emphasizes respect for and obedience to
authority.
The Chinese prefer formal introductions; they use full titles for their
guests but are less precise in identifying themselves. In lieu of
professional titles, the Chinese equivalents of “Mr.” and “Mrs.” Are
used. Thus Wang Jian-Jun can also be called Mr. Wang, but never
simply Wang and rarely even Jian-Jun.
