I don't think it's possible to judge the merits of comparing two countries in terms of social etiquette and culture. Because after experiencing the influence of their own national culture, people in each country will identify with their own country's culture and their own country's life mode, and it can only be said that there are differences in social etiquette and culture between various countries, and the advantages and disadvantages cannot be distinguished according to cultural differences. <>
First of all, there is a clear difference that China pays more attention to collectivization, while foreign countries pay more attention to the individual. For example, when eating, Chinese like to gather around a table, all the dishes are placed on a plate, everyone enjoys the food on the table together, and at the same time they like this lively atmosphere where everyone gets together and talks. But in foreign countries, each dish is divided into multiple small plates, and everyone eats the dishes on their own plates, and everyone is quiet during the meal, even the sound of knives and forks must be controlled.
There are also some differences that can be seen in everyday life. For example, when two friends in China meet and greet each other, they often ask you questions, how are you doing? Are you doing well?
Whether or not you have a boyfriend or girlfriend or so on, these are more personal questions, and in Chinese culture, these questions do not seem to have any bad effects, but only out of concern for the other person. But in foreign countries, this kind of relatively personal problem, in the eyes of people abroad, seems to be an invasion of their private life, which will make them feel very uncomfortable, so when they greet abroad, they usually do not have in-depth communication. <>
Another difference is the difference in visiting friends. In China, if you want to go to a friend's house to sit down, you usually give him a temporary call, as long as the friend is at home or at the convenience of the situation, you can go directly. However, if you are going to visit a friend's house abroad, you should tell your friend a few days in advance, and it is very rude to go to your friend's house suddenly.
So from these differences, it can be seen that there is no obvious difference between advantages and disadvantages, and that every approach is correct in different cultural systems.

Foreign countries are particularly welcoming and open. And countries like China are more conservative, they will not kiss directly, but shake hands casually, which is very simple.

I think that if you compare two countries in terms of social etiquette and culture, you can't judge the merits, because after experiencing the influence of your own country's culture, people in each country will especially identify with their own country's culture and their own way of life.

There are some major differences between Chinese and Western social etiquette, and here are a few common differences:
Different ways of greeting: Chinese people usually greet each other's health, family and work situation when they meet, while Westerners usually use simple greetings such as "hello", "how are you", etc.
Different etiquette terms: In the process of communication, Chinese pay more attention to etiquette language, such as salutation, honorifics, etc. In Western countries, the first or last name is usually used between peers or strangers, while mr. may be used in more formal settings
ms./mrs.and other honorific titles.
Dining etiquette is different: Chinese meals are usually shared by multiple people at the same table, and the dishes are varied and hearty. Westerners, on the other hand, usually sit separately when dining, each with their own plates and utensils, and the dishes are relatively simple.
Gift culture is different: In Chinese culture, gift-giving is one of the ways to show care and gratitude, and it is common to bring gifts on special occasions or visits. Whereas, in Western culture, gift-giving is less common, and when there is a gift-giving, it is usually on special occasions such as birthdays, Christmas, etc.
In China, avoiding direct eye contact is considered a sign of respect, while in the West, direct eye contact is often seen as a way to show confidence and sincerity. In addition, body posture and gestures also have different meanings in both cultures.
In general, Chinese and Western social etiquette have different cultural backgrounds and habits, and people need to understand and respect each other's cultural differences when communicating across cultures, and appropriately adjust their communication methods to achieve better communication and exchange results.
