I find it funny how many HN readers will insist that China (or really any Asian culture), is just so different that you you have to use “native” words to describe it. I guess your comment touched a nerve.
It’s like “face” is just respect, but sounds more “Asian-ish.”
Guanxi is just networking. Sometimes it’s important and sometimes it’s not. if you can speak the local language, you’ll need less of it. I’m know immigrants in the US will say how important it is to network with the right people.
