When I last visited China, I lived with my parents in law in the suburbs of Shanghai for one month. I did notice that there was a big gap between the old and the new Chinese generation. The old generation tends to be more traditional and conservative. The new generation tries to be more open and follow their American counterparts.

China has changed a lot in the past few years and, from my point of view, the change will not stop anytime soon.

By the way, Michael, with your experience in the Chinese culture and business, you may want to consider opening your own consultancy business here in the US, to advise people how to do business in China. As more American businesses are looking to invest in China, there is a high demand for such a service. You’ll make a lot of money

Your trainer is about 10 years out of date.

Chinese now tend to view Shenzhen and Shanghai people as far more interested in personal profit than Americans.

Chinese mostly recognize that prostitution is a major industry in China and you see young people eating each others’ tonsils all over China.

The other points are less dramatically wrong, but probably not what most Chinese people would come up with talking about Americans.
