The November 2015 China Brief, “Communicating with China: The interplay of language and culture,” was held at Griffith University’s South Bank Graduate Centre Building on Tuesday, 17 November 2015.
Communicating with Chinese partners can be extremely complex and entails a lot more than simply getting the wording of a contract right. In this seminar, Dr Angela Cook and Dr Haiyan Liang highlighted key social and behavioural differences between China and Australia in a seminar that combined academic theory with hands-on practical skills, and demonstrated how linguistic and cultural factors interact to impede or promote communication between the two nations.
