What Values are not Changing in Today China
Globalization, modernity, and increased technology have all brought profound changes into the world. Not only has trade increased both or labor and commodities but has become even easier and faster to shop and get goods from any corner of the world. Globalization had reduced the world to become a global village where individuals share and exchange values, cultures, traditions cuisine, and other aspects at ease. To add up to globalization there has been another dominator where modernization has played a big part in changes experienced by regions. The impact of modernization and globalization has influenced religions behavior, cultural attributes, education, medicine aspects, technology, values, and knowledge. The most affected by this phenomenon are the growing economies and the third world countries who are experiencing these changes rapidly and in a short duration. One of the significant regions that have experienced a lot of change in a very short duration is the mainland China. Scholars and students around have gone to great length to study the regions and the changes that have taken place since the nation opened its borders to the international market. However, there are factors, themes, values and cultural things in China that not been affected by the wave of changes occurring in the region. The following texts are going to look at the other side of the story and analyses on what value are not changing in modern China.
Globalization is presenting an era which in broad context should be viewed in aspects of historical trends. Some believe the global event is has presented an honest restructuring of social organization and this has led to the mentality that we are living in a new world. However, in China, one notices that modernity and globalization have had a big impact on the nation and the experienced changes have had even a bigger impact on their values. There is a big change in the contemporary China the way of thinking among the people has remained the same, as the society seems to be ever anchored to the classical Yin Yang (Leung 185). There has been change in the society but this again can be observed to be the teleological concept of history that has for a long time been observed as nationalism and modernity (Zhang 350) The nation may be built on many aspects however; the population is still lingering on the past memories and in social justices that still haunt the Chinese community up to date. There have been trials to detach people from the wounded memories and at the same time, some take advantage of this landscape to gain political mileage and hence the society has ever remained of the horrors.
The Chinese open door policy that was implemented in 1978 has seen the nation get into contact with the global world getting influences in technologies, cultures, concepts from abroad and lifestyle. There been so many changes and China has modified its social business behavior but it is worth noting that China has maintained is paradoxes. Understanding the Chinese can be approached through the cultural dimension where both management literature and international business is analyzed. The said approach utilizes the bipolarization of countries cultures aligned with the continuum where these cultures find their positioning. For example, as opposed to China the United States have has an individualistic culture whereas China utilizes the collectivistic culture. The UK and USA both have short term oriented cultures while China has long term oriented culture. There is no refuting that the Chinese people see the world in a different angle from the Westerners: one angle is because of the different civilization process that was isolated that the Chinese went through and the other one is the Chinese script that is radically different. The increased foreign cultures interactions and open door policy have made China form the culture learning and culture change of China today. Nevertheless, there is a language-embedded difference that structures individual mentalities. Hdbbfahhkjojjsaicjsaion
Chinese values
The Chines culture is based on three broad value system that is contradictory: the Buddhism, Taoism, and the Confucianism. There is a possibility of an individual following the three systems at the same time and does not care so much about either of them. History introduced other systems such as the patrimonial bureaucrat and the Maoist version. The recent value being introduced by the open door policy where the Western culture, lifestyle, and management influence the Chinese. To tame our text, we going to look at Chinese values based on the Chinese culture in reference to society and business.
In Chinese literature value, Guanxi is popularly discussed. Faure (196) to the Chinese people if one does not use the network of guanxi they believe nothing will occur. Guanxi is a Chinese term for personal contacts and connections and away from getting support in the already shaken, turbulent, unsecure and uncertain market. In this culture, business and professional transaction can be performed purely on favors and this has been said to be one of the main reasons why corruption is adamant in the country. The Chinese market is different from the other international markets because the government is actively involved in it. Different multinationals have developed tribunals to deal with the Chinese government relationship. The Guanxi culture is not only practices at small business lunch of coffee but in fashionable places such as the casino and golf courses. It is so inbuilt that managers have to utilize the system to be successful in China. Despite the modernization and the astonishing growth, China still lacks in institutional trust and transparency. Professionalism and guanxi seem to be related and are both important aspects in the market as observe both in the dynamics of social and business life in China. This value is still present today in China.
Face and self-expression: In the Chinese culture, the face is a salient concern. The Confucian moral held that without taking care of the face and operating the sense of shame, the Chines society would have been disintegrated as the nation has a loose legal framework. This statement leads back to China injustice that still haunts them, for example, the unequal treaties, the sack of summer palace and opium war. The 19-century event has had the Chinese raise bitter generation after generation and has been one of the key reason for the nation to be determined to rise into the new kingdom. The society also holds the face lik...
