Would this not be considered rude in China or something? - Page 2 - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

Part 2 in the "whine about Chinese academics" series (continued from DaShi's thread)

....................

Based on my experience, I'd say its par for the course. I grew up with mostly "chinese" kids (Hong Kong parents but kids born locally) and have no problems with anyone. Working in the USA though I've run into many obnoxious "MD PhD" (heavy on the quotes) types from Beijing that just drive me ****in nuts with their attitudes and behaviour.

So are we all agreed on a new Cold War with China? Those rude ****ers certainly deserve it.

From my experience with the Chinese...they just don't care. You can tell someone who works FOR you to be at a specific place at a specific time and no later...they won't be there on time 9 times out of 10. Such as happened with my meeting the other day. I had emailed the participants of my meeting prior to it to remind them, and said that I had an important engagement to be at at 12:00pm and that they needed to be in the meeting room no later than 10:30am. The first person came at 10:30, the rest didn't come until after 10:30 and then we didn't finish until 5 minutes to 12:00....so obviously I was late to my important appointment. Also in meetings they will answer phones, talk on phones, talk to each other, leave when they want to, etc. So I had them all put their phones on the table and shut them off, about 3 of them did the rest put them on silent and would leave loudly to talk on them. They don't understand courtesy because it is not an issue in China, manners are not an issue here. They don't hold doors open for women, they don't stop littering or stop anyone else from littering. Hell my Dad's personal assistant was pissed on at a water park and noone said a word, except her...she told the guy *a few levels above her on the stairs* that he was a pig and his penis was the size of a peanut. But they just don't care, if they have something to do its more important.
