About

**About China** It is a hyper-cashless society. Smartphone payments are mandatory everywhere from street stalls to hospitals, and you will almost never see physical cash. Delivery services (waimai) are extremely advanced, with everything from meals to daily necessities arriving in tens of minutes. Regarding food culture, "warm drinks" are considered healthy and are the standard. People drink hot water even in midsummer, and it is rare for restaurants to serve ice water. In social dining, "face" is highly valued, and a culture of hospitality exists where one orders more food than can possibly be eaten. In public spaces, loud and lively voices are the norm. Even if it sounds like an argument, it is often just a passionate conversation. In terms of traffic, electric scooters zip silently across sidewalks, and horns are honked frequently as "greetings or signals." Furthermore, due to the mindset that "apologizing = admitting liability," people do not apologize easily, instead showing a pragmatic nature by trying to resolve issues through action. In this way, daily life in China is an energetic world where efficiency and traditional values coexist.
