As more Americans go to mainland China to take jobs,more Chinese and Americans are
working side by side.These cross—cultural partnerships,while beneficial in many ways,are
also highlighting tensions that expose differences in work experience,pay levels and communication.
In the last few years,a growing number of Americans in their 20s and 30s have been heading
to China for employment,attracted by its faster-growing economy and lower jobless rate.Their Chinese co-workers are often around the same age.But the two groups were raised differently.The Americans have had more exposure to free-market principles.“Young Americans were brought up in a commercial environment,” said Neng Zhao,28,a senior associate at Blue Oak Capital,a private firm based in Beijing.“We weren't.So the workplace is a unique learning process for my generation.”
Managers hiring workers in China appear to be paying for Western experience.Foreigners tend to earn 10 to 15 percent more than their Chinese counterparts (persons working in similar positions),said Michael Norman,senior vice president at Sibson Consulting,an American firm.That imbalance does not go unnoticed by Chinese workers.“There is definitely the belief that Americans get paid more for the same work,”said Ting Wang,25,an associate at Wild China,a travel company based in Beijing.On the other hand,Chinese workers have a deeper understanding of the influences,like.Confucianism and Communism,which play a part in their country’s culture and economy.
It is important and necessary for Americans working in China to adjust,said Mr.Norman,who works on management and work force issues for multinational companies operating in Asia.
“In the West,there is such a bonus on getting things done quickly,but when you come to work in China,you need to work on listening and being more patient and understanding of local ways of doing business,”he said.

Some years ago industries had more freedom than they have now, and they did not need to be as careful as they must today. They did not need to worry a lot about the safety of the new products that they developed. They did not have to pay much attention to the health and safety of the people who worked for them. Often new products were dangerous for the people who used them; often conditions in the work place had very bad effects on the health of the workers. Of course sometimes there were real disasters which attracted the attention of governments and which showed the need for changes. Also scientists who were doing research into the health of workers sometimes produced information which governments could not ignore.
At such times, there were inquiries(調查)into the causes of the disasters or the problems. New safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inquiries, however, the new rules came too late to protect the people who died or who became seriously ill.
Today many governments have special departments which protect customers and workers. In the U. S, for example, there is a department which examines new planes and gives warnings about possible problems. It also makes the rules that aircraft producers must follow. Another department controls (管理)the foods and drugs that companies sell. A third department looks at the places where people work, and then reports any companies that are breaking the laws which protect the health and safety of workers. Of course, new government, departments and new laws cannot prevent every accident or illness, but they are having some good results.
Our work places are safer and cleaner than before. The planes and cars which we use for travel are better. Producers are thinking more about the safety and health of the people who buy and use their products.
