a Chinese Complimented on his English may respond, \"No, my English is very poor.\" Americans may view this as false humility or \"fishing for praise.\" An American's response to praise would be \"Thank you.\" This could strike some Chinese as a lack of humility!
Thank you. American's incessant \"Thank you may annoy Chinese who dislike such formality between friends. But Americans may feel Chinese are inconsiderate when they don't say \"Thank you \" for some favor.
Chinese, at a loss for a response, may reply to an American\" Thank you,\" with \" It is my duty.\" To Americans this sounds like the Chinese helped only because he had no choice--it was his job..
No Free Lunch
An American proverb,\" There's no free lunch.\" means that nothing is free. When Americans eat out, they often calculate each person's share of the bill down to the last penny. By contrast, in China one person is likely to pick up the entire tab. This doesn't necessarily mean that Chinese are more generous. Chinese stress mutually beneficial relationships and know that the next time someone else will pay:\" What does around come around.\"
Body Language
Even body language has a cultural accent. Chinese stamp their feet to show anger; Americans interpret this as impatience. Chinese clap for themselves after a speech. Americans may see this as immodest. When giving or receiving a fit, Chinese use two hands to denote respect. Americans never even notice.
