Dan I work with a Chinese girl and I’m happy to report they are fucking abrupt and interrupt you mid sentence when you’re talking to others. When challenged about their tone she gives it “I’m Chinese…. this is how we are”.
Yeah, obviously this is pretty rude, but living in an environment like this does have its pros (MC VICE KLAXON BUZZING).
For example, on the subway, if someone is blocking the door of a train, you can literally push them to one side and they never do anything about it. It’s just expected. Same on the escalator, if someone is stood on the walking side of the escalator, it’s totally acceptable to shoulder barge them out of the way.
