HIGHLIGHT REEL: Language Up Your Mindset for China Business

March 13, 2023 • Gene Hsu

March 8, 2023 - They say language is the gateway into another culture, but what access does speaking Chinese grant you in China?

Due to China's Face-giving culture, speaking a little Chinese can open many doors to foreigners. That said, failing to understand how, when, and why to say things can close the windows of opportunity as quickly as your counterparts opened them, symbolic of China as a land of contradictions to many Westerners.

Most of the role playing and interactive portions have been removed to highlight the concepts covered during the first portion of this experience.
