Of interest is the differences in business etiquette and communications styles. May be relevent, wonder if things get lost in translation with MDCE/IHUB communications.

"Hong Kong - Language, Culture, Customs and Etiquette"

"One of the reasons that communication can be such a problem in China is that along with many other Asians, the Chinese find it extremely difficult to say 'no'. Saying 'no' causes both embarrassment and loss of face and it is therefore better to agree with things in a less than direct manner. Thus anything other than an unequivocal 'yes' probably means 'no'. Be very wary of phrases such as 'Yes but it might be difficult' and 'Yes, probably'."



"USA - Language, Culture, Customs and Etiquette"

"Americans are direct. They value logic and linear thinking and expect people to speak clearly and in a straightforward manner. To them if you don’t “tell it how it is” you simply waste time, and time is money. If you are from a culture that is more subtle in communication style, try not to be insulted by the directness."
