Ever wonder WHY so many cross-cultural ventures in China lead to disappointment? And why are so many of us frustrated communicating with our Chinese counterparts, rather than enjoying the journey into this wonderful culture?I'm Gene Hsu, author of Solving CHINA's Unknown Unknowns and now host of the China Myth Podcast, and my MISSION is to show you how to Listen-In-Context to learn how China really works and how to win the China game inside the Chinese arena.Sometimes, when we don't know how to listen, we also miss seeing the most obvious path to success. https://www.amazon.com/The-Chinese-Honeymoon-Period/dp/B09756P11G/ - Read each episode as a Kindle Vella short story (first three episodes are free)https://chinamyth.buzzsprout.com - Subscribe on your favorite podcast (Episode 1 launches on July 21, 2021)https://www.patreon.com/chinamythpodcast - Support my mission and gain access to our community, live weekly Zoom calls, and private China Business Advisory (CBA) coaching calls

August 12, 2020 - Replay of Zoom Meetup Event [Session 2 of 2]: Goodwill Extraction, An Alternative View of Chinese CorruptionCan you prevent BAD Behavior from your Chinese partners and employees?Answer: YESThe solution begins with you REIMAGINING what you might consider "bad" as normal within a different cultural context.Then, you need to be CURIOUS how you are inadvertently complicit in that behavior.In the keynote portion of this Meetup event, we discussed the concept of GOODWILL EXTRACTION as a healthier way to interpret "lying, cheating, and stealing", and how this behavior is easily preventable by developing a new attitude, mindset, and approach.When priorities diverge and goodwill is not being exchanged or reciprocated, it is natural to expect Chinese will find other ways to claim what they "feel" they deserve.Your key to greater success doing business in China is to influence the behavior of others with your own.#China #Chinabusiness #Chineseculture #Leadership #CommunicationsEME China Consultantshttps://www.emechina.us/Meetup groupshttps://www.meetup.com/OC-CBF/ (OC China Business Forum)https://www.meetup.com/Shanghai-Int-Meetup/ (Shanghai International Meetup)https://www.meetup.com/CCP-Forum/ (Cross-Cultural Performance Forum)FREE Content Channelshttps://soundcloud.com/gene-hsu-759655585 (SoundCloud)https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/id1366595279 (Apple Podcasts)https://www.youtube.com/c/GeneHsu (YouTube)https://medium.com/@genehsu (Medium)https://www.quora.com/profile/Gene-Hsu-2 (Quora)
July 8, 2020 - Replay of Zoom Meetup Event [Session 2 of 2] - Developing NEW Patterns of Success by Re-imagining ChinaRead the blog article -- https://www.emechina.us/blog/reimaginedAs the COVID-19 Global Pandemic is accelerating tensions, misinformation, and mistrust between China and America; understanding our CULTURAL DICHOTOMIES is the first step toward greater empathy and cooperation.For Westerners concerned doing business in China will become even more complex and unpredictable, I believe it is impossible to manage risk when you only consider what you perceive on the surface.Instead, the best way to protect yourself and maximize your success rate is to know what people (Chinese) think, how they feel, and how things actually work in China.Acquiring these insights begin by understanding and socializing the many cultural dichotomies, WITHOUT JUDGMENT.#China #Chinabusiness #Chineseculture #Leadership #CommunicationsEME China Consultantshttps://www.emechina.us/Meetup groupshttps://www.meetup.com/OC-CBF/ (OC China Business Forum)https://www.meetup.com/Shanghai-Int-Meetup/ (Shanghai International Meetup)https://www.meetup.com/CCP-Forum/ (Cross-Cultural Performance Forum)FREE Content Channelshttps://soundcloud.com/gene-hsu-759655585 (SoundCloud)https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/id1366595279 (Apple Podcasts)https://www.youtube.com/c/GeneHsu (YouTube)https://medium.com/@genehsu (Medium)https://www.quora.com/profile/Gene-Hsu-2 (Quora)
July 22, 2020 - Replay of Zoom Meetup Event [Session 2 of 2]: Unknown Unknowns in China REVEALED + CASE STUDY: Paratrooper Manager (空降部队)Do you know what a PARATROOPER MANAGER is?If you've been assigned to work in a foreign country as an Expat, then you were likely a Paratrooper Manager?China Expats often face the most daunting path forward… If you've never been an Expat, learning how to handle the unique challenges Paratrooper Managers face will prepare you for anything. Paratrooper Managers must navigate a hidden minefield of lip service, sabotage, and passive resistance from locals that limit success in the best-case scenarios.In this event, we discussed how to CREATE "New Patterns" of Interaction by analyzing a case study in which Reality A (what happened from listening to my "inner voice") could have become Reality B (by creating a New Approach using our Mental Triggers) = a totally different and better outcome.EME China Consultantshttps://www.emechina.us/Meetup groupshttps://www.meetup.com/OC-CBF/ (OC China Business Forum)https://www.meetup.com/Shanghai-Int-Meetup/ (Shanghai International Meetup)https://www.meetup.com/CCP-Forum/ (Cross-Cultural Performance Forum)FREE Content Channelshttps://soundcloud.com/gene-hsu-759655585 (SoundCloud)https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/id1366595279 (Apple Podcasts)https://www.youtube.com/c/GeneHsu (YouTube)https://medium.com/@genehsu (Medium)https://www.quora.com/profile/Gene-Hsu-2 (Quora)

I think the world would be a better place if China and America got along, and perhaps that begins with Chinese and Americans getting along better...Hi, my name is Gene Hsu...I'm a China business coach, trainer, and advisor, but more importantly, I'm an ABC, that's American Born Chinese.ABCs are also known as Bananas, WHITE on the inside, but YELLOW on the outside. This means my values are more Western and democratic, but I also share some traditional Chinese beliefs and values too....And at the intersection between America and China, I am concerned about the lack of cultural awareness on both sides, but I am still optimistic about the future for my unborn son, YES, my wife is currently pregnant with our first child...Generational ABC Podcast are my conversations with my unborn son, one ABC to another, and my attempt to explain our world in context in order for him to make better sense of his world, which will be nothing like the world we live in today...Welcome to SEASON I, the first 12 conversations between me and my son ... discussing the dichotomies between America and China, based on my personal experience growing up in Atlanta, Georgia to eventually living and working in Shanghai...Listen and subscribe on Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud, or YouTube.https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/id1366595279(Apple Podcasts)https://www.youtube.com/c/GeneHsu(YouTube)https://soundcloud.com/gene-hsu-759655585(SoundCloud)
