Bumper Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 The Understanding of Chinese/Asian culture vs. Western has always been an interesting part of research.It also applies to all Asians, including the Indians, Japanese, Thais, Koreans, Indonesian, Malays, etc...

coffee_rules Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Good one. Some of them apply to Indian mentality as well. There is a lot in common between Indians and Chinese.
fineleg Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 I didn't quite get this specific one - Can someone add to this - they smile when angry!? or take it better? or their face belies the anger? Anger
Lurker Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 ^^ the way I looked at that picture is how an Asian will typically enjoy plotting the downfall of his nemesis. Its the smile yes.

yoda Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 I understood it as "an Asian doesn't show his true emotions to the outside world".
fineleg Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 I understood it as "an Asian doesn't show his true emotions to the outside world". This is what I thought, and I'd actually differ. Many a times the westerners think one and say something else because they dont "reveal" their emotions. Asians do. Its generalization, there are ofcourse both types in both worlds.

May be it means that asians are happy at being upset whereas westerners are upset at being upset. :D
