unconnected from any the differences above, something sizeable seemed to irk some(prenominal) of my western friends once. It was a home ships company for Chinese hot pot hosted by a Chinese girl who invited three of my German friends and I and well-nigh fifteen another(prenominal) Chinese students. And the weird thing was that at that place was almost no Chinese talking to the Germans or unconstipated me during the whole party, bargonly a few that we had known for a long time. \nMy friends were so unhappy that exclusively the Chinese seemed to chip in merry the party tight just now excluded them from their big group. It was rattling a bit pasty and hard to explain. scarcely the reasons that I whitethorn come up with are first offly, Chinese are really kind hearted but sometimes genuinely conservative in mingling with foreigners. Because in the eyes of a Chinese, foreigners are somebody distinctively antithetic and cannot be regarded as the same.
