Chinese Thinking (想法) and their Relationship-To-Face is symbiotic
Show Notes

July 20, 2022 Meetup Replay - Why should you care about HOW our Chinese counterparts think, and what focus can help us acquire that insight?

想法 xiǎngfǎ is influenced by a mixture of factors: environmental, media, and social 

It's based on a set of emotional and psychological factors that reflect a person’s attitude, perspective, and Relationship-To-Face, which is the balance of a person’s "propensity to give Face as a tactic" and "require Face as an emotional need."

  • 什么关系? shénme guānxì “Guanxi relationship” (Hierarchical)
  • 什么感觉? shénme gǎnjué “Perception” (Bargaining Power)
