Work ethics
The Chinese have been socialized, not just to work hard, but to work hard for the long-term benefit of the family Rather than asking how many days of vacation they get, many Chinese workers ask how many days they can work, they are motivated to make money and get ahead any way they can Entrepreneurs should pursue a "Chinese" way of doing business People from collective cultures consider it a primary obligation to look out for those who are connected to them by family, home town, or employer

 The average Chinese person works 8 hours a day and China also has a good, skilled and educated work force Believe that the people should be respected according to their position and this is reflected in the way how they greet and interact with their superiors and colleagues and subordinates Employees from the CEO down to the lowest-paid factory worker believe that harmony and loyalty should be maintained and confrontation avoided. Disagreeing with a colleague's or boss's opinion in a meeting or in public is out of the question

Working conditions
Five-day workweek with no more than 8 hours a day and no more than 44 hours a week in the Labor Law of People's Republic of China The Chinese people usually work between 08:00 and 18:00 each day, with a lunch break from 12:00 to 14:00. In June 2010, while China was experiencing a number of labor problems, including disputes and suicides, the Beijing city government raised the minimum wage by 20 percent to $141 a month.
