[quote=KSWONG,303563]Peter My guess is most Chinese will not be comfortable communicating with you in English over e-mails. If you can write Chinese, then it's a different story. The other thing is, friendship is not something you demand for, or get over a few meetings. Most Chinese are of the view that the "gwei lao" (foreign devils, apologies but that's a literal translation) are like ships passing in the night and will never be seen again. So no point cultivating friendship. Unless we're talking business, then it's different. It will be more like PR rather than genuine friendship. Oh there will be those lonely hearts, single ladies hoping to snare a western guy. They will put in some effort and see what happens.[/quote]
