Cultural Differences between China and the US

Living in a culture that is different from your own can be both exciting and challenging experience. You have to learn different cultural practices and try to get used to them. Let’s share the top four cultural differences between China and the US to help understand each other better.

Privacy

Chinese people do not have the same understanding of privacy as Americans do. They think it common to talk about topics such as ages, pay or marriage, which Americans think is unpleasant.

Family & Friends

In China, people traditionally treat elders and the young kindly. In America, the goal of the family is to encourage independence of the children, Unlike the Chinese, older Americans seldom live with their children.

As for friendship, Chinese people have different meanings about it. Just hanging out together from time to time is not friendship. Friendship means friends who can offer help to each other whenever it is needed in their whole life. Americans always call people fiends in different social situations, so the exact meaning of friends is general and different. There are working friends, playing friends, school friends and drinking friends.

Money & Education

As is well known, the Chinese like to save. They are always conservative（保守的）when they are planning to spend money. It is different in the USA, where far fewer families are saving money for unexpected stations and education than the Chinese families.

Chinese people pay more attention to education and jobs than Americans, who think more about good character and strong belief.

Collectivism（集体主义）VS. Individualism（个人主义）

China values the collectivism and the US values the individualism. If you achieve something in the us, it’s because you are great. While in China, if you achieve something, it’s because the team, or family or company is great. Everything you do connects with the greater whole, while in America the person himself or herself is celebrated.
