Description
Introduction Two main trends have hastened the need for the world to understand Chinese communication behaviors. First, with their large population and the rapid development of economies in recent decades, Chinese in Hong Kong, Macao, Mainland China, and Taiwan have formed a powerful network that affects almost every aspect of world affairs. Second, as the world is moving towards a global community, mutual understanding among people of different cultures has become an indispensable requirement for global citizens to live together peacefully and productively. Because a lack of cultural awareness and proper ways to address cultural differences will result in unrealistic expectations, frustrations, and failure in establishing a positive intercultural relationship among people of different cultures, to understand the way Chinese think and act will prove to be an important step for developing a more interdependent and peaceful future world.
