China’s Business Evolution with the Help of Silicon Valley

The culture of China has been embedded in a lifestyle that believes in supporting the individual in control and not offering any new ideas. Part of this may be due to their government, ancient religion, their traditions of the past and their current educational system.

Individuals are not encouraged, nor has it ever been acceptable to do anything other than obey the commands of a superior. To do otherwise, it might be considered an insult to the intelligence of a boss.

Silicon Valley in the U.S. is known for it’s innovation and incredible attitude of adopt and create. It might seem that the two cultures would be like oil and water, but, when Silicon Valley entered Chinese business, the Asian world made some major changes.
