China is big, but Chinese culture is even bigger

China is big. Chinese culture is bigger. Chinese culture is far older, more consistent, and resistant to change than any Chinese political identity. Chinese culture is active in Hong Kong, Macau, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, parts of Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam, and Thailand, and more. The typical culturally Chinese lives in these lands and in London, Vancouver, New York City, LA, Orlando, Berlin, Nairobi, Lima and closer. Besides being visible during Lunar New Year, Chinese culture plays a big role in social, business interactions for far more people than Chinese people in China. They are your business partners, your neighbors, your co-workers, and you don’t need to catch a plane to meet them.
