The Chinese are a collective society in general. They will act with decorum at most times in order to maintain harmony. They don’t care for protesting, disagreeing or making complaints. Giving and saving one’s face is the most important thing in Chinese society. If you don’t agree with someone, try not to speak up in public, which will make the person lose face. Avoid doing anything that would cause a Chinese person embarrassment.
