China Myth Podcast
China Myth Podcast is a self-produced immersion experience of my journey through the fascinating and misunderstood dilemmas of Chinese business culture - a reaction, a behavior, even a suggestion - and asks whether I could have achieved a better outcome with a different attitude, mindset, and approach. Because sometimes, learning how to listen is a lost art of communication.

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)
