EmilyKluge.com

presents comparative commentary on China to inform Western audiences about Chinese business, culture, philosophy, technology, and politics.

The comparative analysis approach aims to expedite a future of cross-cultural understanding and mutually beneficial business relationships. The exposition and evaluation of differences and similarities provides readers the opportunity to deeply consider their own actions and biases, thereby creating within themselves a readiness for strategic change.

I ate so much street food in Taiwan, some of it completely unrecognisable to me 😂 But at least I can remember the skewers and durian dessert. Note: Don't expect to walk away from the market smelling like the perfume you just put on. 🥩 #台湾 #台湾🇹🇼 #Taiwan #taiwantravel #streetfood #nightmarket #foodietravel #taiwanstreetfood #中国

On character...

Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education. (Martin Luther King Jr.)

Men of principle are sure to be bold, but those who are bold may not always be of principle. (Confucius, Analects Book 14-4)

What

This blog was originally a self-knowledge and critical thinking blog.

As of February 2020, the content will focus on comparative analysis of China and Chinese culture.

When

Blogging since September 2018

I publish 1-2 posts per week.

Where

Vancouver, BC, Canada.

My travels:

China (including Taiwan and SAR Hong Kong), Japan, South Korea, Iran, and the United States.

Why

The exposition of differences and similarities between Chinese and Western culture provides readers opportunities  for self-reflection.  The discovery of one’s biases facilitates personal adaptation to a changing world.
