The Chinese people are ...
 
frank yet tactful   
honest yet sophisticated 
suspiscious yet gullible
unscrupulous yet loyal
advocate etiquette yet often appear unmannered
stand for the Golden Mean yet are extreme
value the quality of being thrifty yet like to parade their wealth
maintain traditions yet love to chase modern fashion
believe contentment brings happiness yet often daydream about becoming overnight millionaires
believe the word of the fortune teller yet lack affiliation to any religion

Yes good video.
面子Miànzi Face
关系Guānxì "relationships"

These are rather hard to understand. Some may think they know something... But then only to find out its impossible to know unless you've lived there your whole life...

I thought I understood the concept of Face roughly... But how wrong I was. It can mean like anything... And the non verbal actions/meanings etc... Oh my god, only foreign women can learn to understand those... Because they are already good at it...
