US-China Cultural CLASH | Unlocking the Secrets of US-China Cultural Differences: Top 3 Revealed
“You can never become a Westerner.” US-China relations took an interesting turn in the last week, with comments by Top Chinese diplomat Wang Yi, and then positive remarks by US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, during a visit to Beijing.
Wang Yi was speaking to Japan and Korea in these remarks, as the two nations have recently strengthened ties with the US, while China becomes an increasingly stronger economic power and bigger rival to the US.
The comments were quoted in the CNN article by Nectar Gan on July 5.

I likes Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
That’s great! Me too
Saudi Arabia is certainly on my list of countries that I would like to visit. The prince is doing an excellent job in diversifying the country. The projects that are being built there are truly mind blowing. Hopefully the world can live in peace again. Your video was Compact and informative. Nice !
Glad you liked the video, and you are right in all your comments!
Hello!! And what about salaries?? What is a normal salary for an expat engineer? And companies normally paying house and accomodations for all the family?
Hello! Salaries vary a lot according to job and employer, as well as location. If you work in a remote area, chances are the employer covers everything for you and your family. If you work in a big city, sometimes the employer provides. housing and sometimes they give you an allowance instead, and you arrange it yourself. There are many variables, but you can calculate around 3-5 times your salary in your home country.
@@cherylobalcrossculturalexpert3 or 5 times more my gross salary in my country but receiving tax free in Saudi Arabia?
What abiut the water quality, Did you face hairfall issues there??
Water quality is pretty good, no issues with hairfall and you can even drink the tap water.
There is one thing that bothers. It would be great if white people present thenselves as immigrants, not expats. You are an immigrant, not an expat.
I lived in Saudi for 4 and a half years and all I can say is it was the worst years of my life. I always said if I could be free like an American is and live there it would be great. I was not free and you learn from living there how much you love your freedom.
Sorry to hear you didn’t have a good experience and I wonder when you lived there. Things are very different now. It also depends also on where you work and live.
@@cherylobalcrossculturalexpertalso varies. What kind of freedom do you want? You do not have the right to do everything. You cannot walk naked in Saudi Arabia as you do in America. The limits of your freedom stop at the limits of others.
Celebrate your country full of crime
I have been applying for various roles in riyadh the previous 7 months, but after observing carefully linkedin in premium, I realised for every single vacancy, recruiters receive approximately 1600 -2000 applications within a time period of a month. As you understand, it WILL BE practically impossible to call you back for an interview, even if you have done a very good job with the CV.
Unfortunately it's near impossible even with UK citizenship & tons of experience in the UK & Saudi. 1 year now looking for a construction job in Saudi with no luck (should be piece of cake looking to NEOM construction boom but it's all on TV with no genuine openings) . Plus all employers want to pay you the crumb or to get you for a local usual salaries
Don’t give up hope. It takes time to find a job in Saudi. You have to search a lot and be very patient. It also helps if you have a connection, someone you know already working there who could help you get an interview. The second time I went back to Saudi, it took me 2.5 years and hundreds of applications before I got an offer.
@@cherylobalcrossculturalexpert Thanks for the heads up Cherly, there's hope but the recruitment process is ridiculously lengthy and lots of berucratic non sense. As you hinted, ''Wasta'' has a big influence so you need someone who has influence and is genuinely willing to help from inside org. thankfully I live with parents now so not worried about rent. The job market in the UK isn't encouraging either...
It's not just Saudis it's how we all Muslims are raised. The Zionists Jews in the west have done everything to tarnish our image
