Are the Chinese good to work with as a foreigner?

作为外国人，和中国人一起工作好吗

以下是Quora读者的评论：

Chris Ebbert, lived in China

It would depend on demographics and the type of work, of course.

When I was working in Shanghai for a French university, we had many instances of cooperation with Chinese business people, academics, and administrators.

当然，这要看你的工作。在上海为一所法国大学工作时，我们与中国商人、学者和管理人员有过很多合作。

It was always most pleasant, high spirited, and very successful. When Chinese professionals decide to engage, they give it everything they have, and they are good at what they do while remaining very graciously aware of human needs. I think I’ve never been subject to more entertaining, dining, and sightseeing while at work than I was in China.

我们的聚会总是非常愉快，兴致勃勃，非常成功。中国的专业人士决定参与进来时，他们会尽其所能，发挥自己的专长，同时也会善解人意地满足你的需求。

工作以来，我从来没有像在中国工作那样过得如此快乐，享受美食和观光。

There will be an expectation that terms can be renegotiated, details amended, and timing changed. But these inconveniences by western standards are compensated for by genuine attempts at kee a long term relationship going in which both sides benefit.

对方期望重新谈条款，修改细节，改变时间。以西方的标准来看，这些不便可以努力弥补，保持一种双方都能受益的长期关系。

Long story short, yes, the Chinese are great to work with, as long as you are ready to indulge in lots of entertaining, stay flexble, and give them a chance to hold up their end of the deal, which may unfold in mysterious ways.

长话短说，是的，与中国人一起工作是很开心的，只要你喜欢娱乐，保持灵活，并给他们一个履行协议的机会

I used to work with a Chinese guy from the mainland called Steven when I was managing a Ladbrokes shop in Leicester Square. He was working part time while studying at Univeristy in England.

我以前在莱斯特广场经营立博的一家商店时，曾与一个来自大陆的中国人共事，他叫史蒂文。他在英国上大学期间一直在做兼职工作。

He was diligent, hard working, punctual, and most importantly for a job in a bookies, incredibly personable.

他勤奋，工作努力，守时，非常有风度。

I actually bumped into him on a London bus while visiting a friend a couple of years after I'd left the UK for Spain and he was working for some financial firm somewhere in the city, seemingly doing very well for himself.

几年前我离开英国去西班牙，我在伦敦的一辆巴士上撞见了他，当时我去拜访一个朋友，而他在伦敦金融城的某家金融公司工作，似乎自己干得不错

He hadn't lost any of his charm and was still just as engaging as ever.

他的魅力丝毫没有减弱，仍然像以前一样迷人

I mean a sample size of one is very small I admit, but he was a sound lad and I'm glad he really made a go of it in London! Fair play to him.

我的意思是，我承认，一个人的样本量很小，一个人不能代表全部！

他是一个健壮的小伙子，我很高兴看到他在伦敦取得成功！

Krishna Sharma, Scholar Graduate Honours in English & Honours in Anatomy and Physiology, Computer Tech Guru (2013)

I will be COMPLETELY HONEST. I have mixed feelings about Chinese, most I met were not good. BUT I met a few very good ones, and when I was working with them, those were the times I was most productive and paid in my life.

以下是肺腑之言。我对中国人有着复杂的感觉，我遇到的大多数中国人都不好。不过我也遇到过一些非常优秀的中国员工，当我和他们一起工作的时候，我的工作效率很高，薪水丰厚。

Now I am in India with an American Accent and Bombay and Punjab Haryana won’t even hire me for an English Speaking Process! I will just get back into my media work most likely!

现在我在印度，说话带着美国口音，孟买、旁遮普邦和哈里亚纳邦都不会雇佣我教英语课程!

我很可能会继续做我的媒体工作

Mika Timonen, Co-owner at Enmanskonsulterna (2013-present)

I only worked with 3 Chinese persons here in Sweden. 2 were great to work but the 3rd terrible. It's like with all people there are mostly good apples but a few bad.

我在瑞典和3个中国人一起工作过，其中2个很优秀，另外一个比较差。就好像大多数苹果是好的，只有少数是坏的。

Jim Wong

No if you are an American. Chinese, Japanese and Koreans in general are hard workers. If you spend time yap, standing by the water cooler, slee on the job, producing low quality work, charging 8 hours for 1 hour work, your action will drive him banana.

不，如果你是美国人，那么对你来说，中国人、日本人和韩国人工作算很勤奋的。

如果你上班时叽叽咕咕，站在饮水机旁，工作时睡觉，工作懈怠，8小时上班时间，只有1小时在做事情，你的行为会把人逼疯的。

Daniel Morse, Instructor (1994-present)

I am a foreigner who worked for four different Chinese employers within China. My answer is that all four employers were fair, kind, contractual. I always had good relations with my employers.

我是外国人，先后在中国为四个不同的中国雇主打工。我的回答是，这四个雇主都是公平、善良、注重契约的。我和我的雇主关系一直很好。

Tracy Mcalister, knows Persian

They are simply amazing. Polite, punctual, honest, humble, grateful. Need I go on?

他们中国人太棒了。有礼貌，守时，诚实，谦虚，懂得感恩。还需要我继续说下去吗

Shan Liu, Been Chinese all my life. LOL

Nope, unless they go out of their way to accomodate you, Chinese assume a very high IQ of every one, making it very difficult because they will not explain in details. But if you are very smart like Elon Musk, then yes.

不好，除非他们特意照顾你

中国人以为每个人的智商都很高，这就难办了，他们不会详细给你解释的。

如果你像埃隆·马斯克一样聪明，那么当我没说
