The backbone of Chinese society is a ‘-like structure in which it’s all about keeping up appearances and saving face, rather than actually doing anything to help the people.” At that point I had already learned how to answer such questions without becoming too critical. But let's take a look at some tips for successfully expressing your negative thoughts on China while maintaining good relationships with Chinese friends.

Firstly as we all know it’s essential in any relationship, especially if you’re not from the same cultural background and don’t have common ground to build upon such that communication is key but also empathize when they voice their opinions too. The first piece of advice here would be: “find a friend with whom we can share our frustrations about China without feeling like less because in case someone isn't interested then having another won't necessarily hurt your cause”.

Secondly, In order to achieve this goal and avoid feelings such that there is an uncomfortable atmosphere after bringing up certain touchy subjects into conversation while still being able to express ourselves freely (and maybe get some real advice) from those who live here in the same way **Find Work Abroad** has - we could say “Hey I’m just looking for a second opinion about this new restaurant. It’s nice weather today, isn’t it?” This gives us an opening so when later on if they bring up something you don't particularly like then that can be used as part of your arsenal building trust in such manner.

Thirdly **Travel** allows people to see places all around the world and meet new faces which makes them feel more connected even after their journey has ended giving back what was taken when first started traveling but mainly because they themselves were so much looking forward too meeting someone nice who could show a certain city’s hidden spots.

Fourth, while on trip take time showing respect by talking about things you care most - like getting an internship or landing some sort of gig after moving abroad might let them see what brings value.

Fifthly If there are such thing as being “lucky”, I guess that's just the right amount to go around. This reminds me something my friend said when he found himself all bent out over his own little problems regarding how things run here versus back home or some other place entirely different - then having gone through more experiences becomes aware of their differences and similarities.

Sixthly, it is possible for even best friends from two totally differing backgrounds not only finding common ground on which they both agree but also put up a front so strong as if bond would last entire lifetime. Seeing each other maybe every now and again or something like - “Oh look we’re meeting get some coffee”.

Seventh **Find Work Abroad** has been there for us when jobs are at best limited in supply due to the way things have trended recently but also applying "jobs available" might work magic even though technically speaking this won't change how easy finding these isn’t always simple no matter which side of our line your currently on.

Eightly it would be unwise jump straight into meat without testing **Find Work Abroad** and seeing what brings value to those looking for new experiences - mainly because they themselves were so much looking forward meeting someone nice who could show certain city’s hidden spots, sharing frustrations about China with friends from different backgrounds becomes key.

Ninthly it is not only essential but also crucial in any relationship that communication happens between people of differing cultural background and having common ground to build upon such as **Find Work Abroad** allows new faces which makes them feel connected even after journey has ended - giving back what was
