I would normally say that about a group or another that they are like everyone else in the world, but I will make an exception for China and say that they are not: they are the friendliest and most welcoming people as a group that I have ever encountered in all my travels. I've traveled to China since 1984 and always returned, not to see the temples and sights (which are beautiful by the way) but for the people I met and will meet. All the people I met without exception (OK, once I had some problems with an middle-aged bureaucrat at the visa office, I think she was missing some excitement in her life...) were the most wonderful people. Due to several decades of communism, they are even more curious about the western world than others and while being usually more reserved and shy than us, they are eager and hungry to meet westerners, to practice their English, etc. They may have some habits that are culturally and socially different than ours, but it is just a matter of superficial difference.

Chinese people are very friendly, and very helpful.
They love to have guests, and to take good care of them.
They act spontaneously, so don't expect any long term plans to stay fixed.
They can arrange a party in ten minutes, and cancel one in five!
They are extremely hard working, like 12 hours per day, seven days per week, with maybe 5 days a year off.
Their table manners often leave a little to be desired.

The ones I met in Hong Kong and China will do anything to avoid directly saying "no" to you. Say you propose to go eat at a certain restuarant, and they don't want to go. They may say, "this is not a good time", or "how about we go to that one", or "maybe we should wait another hour to eat" ect. They view saying "no" to a guest as rude. So if you find them saying things to you of this nature don't counter them as arguments, ie "no, this is a good time" or "but we don't like that one" or, "but it will be crowded in an hour" but rather take them as a "no". The month I spent in China was probably the happiest of my life. I highly recomend it.

The only Chinese I know are two different local restaurant owners. Very polite, extremely efficient people who seem like they would never, ever give up. Wish I had one-tenth of that resilience and stubborness (oh, wait, I have the stubborness, lol).

they treat foreigner even better than locals -
Chinese are very friendly and warm hearted
if u r polite to them - they will pay 10 times back to you
u'd better learn some basic Chinese - like Nihao! then your trip will be more interesting
enjoy!

I got on really well with lady that owned our previous take away, she was polite really meek and friendly, but, at work both my wife and I found half cast (or mixed race Chinese) to be complete bastards, my best friends wife falls into this category to.
Thats what we have found right or wong(8>)
