English

Chinese people, since ancient times, have placed great importance on personal relationships. This is because Chinese people have a long, established tradition of working with others in person to person relationships. Yet, the U.S. is a more changing, progressive and open kind of place. So they focus much more on work efficiency. Because to them work is at the top of the list. I believe that to them, work is extremely important. So you could say that Americans, when they are working, really stress efficiency. This can be seen in the way they look upon numerical data and are very sensitive to the analysis thereof. Chinese, on the other hand, are more particular about relationships between people. Because when people can deal well with relationships, they can greatly improve on work efficiency. So I think that America, with regards to their emphasis on numerical data and neglect of personal relationships…I feel that I assent to this point of view.
