Chinese New Year (CNY) celebrations

Chinese New Year (CNY) celebrations

This year’s Chinese New Year (CNY) celebrations is predicted to result in 210 million travellers, akin to the entire population of Indonesia or Brazil up and holidaying at the same time. Up 10% on last year. Air travel alone will see an increase of 29 million air travellers over the 40 days, the average monthly visitor rates for either Hong Kong or Singapore. All this makes CNY one of the great annual human migrations.
While current or persistent threats continue to act upon traveller and expatriates alike, this pilgrimage will generate and amplify a number of issues.

Airline safety and security was on the cusp of an easing of accepted trends and boarding protocols thanks to continuous and mounting pressure from consumer groups and sovereign representatives. The December 2009 attempt to detonate a device on a commercial carrier has changed that and allowed for another round of preventative frenzies and reflection. Other less popular issues have also been tabled for review such as the proliferation of falsified passports, raised by the head of Interpol.

All world travelers will be Chinese by 2020

all world travelers will be Chinese by 2020.

In the near future the Chinese middle-class will be traveling like never before. Right now as it stands 96% of all Chinese people have never stamped their passports or even been out of the country. In fact, many Chinese are just now starting to travel domestically due to the fact that more people are buying cars, and there are more roads available. There is also a reliable train system, and regional airports popping up.

It has been estimated that by 2020 there will be 2000 more airliners than there are today in China, owned and operated by Chinese airlines. It is also estimated that there will be 50 billion visits which will go through the Beijing and Shanghai Airports by 2020 every single year. Another staggering estimate was that 25% of all world travelers will be Chinese by 2020.

An atmosphere of spoken Chinese

an atmosphere of spoken Chinese.

It goes without saying that traveling to Asia is one of the surest ways to improve your fluency in Chinese. It is possible to get experience talking in Chinese to native speakers over the internet, or in your city, but nothing approaches “total immersion” like a trip to China or Taiwan. In Asia language learners are constantly provided with opportunities to exercise their language skills. Not only that, but they are constantly immersed in an atmosphere of spoken Chinese.

Traveling to Asia is also a great way to get in touch with the real reasons that you’re learning Chinese. There are amazing opportunities for foreigners in Asia, and when you’ve arrived and are willing to learn Chinese you can make connections and friendships that can be of great benefit later on. The best way to learn Chinese is to dive headfirst into speaking, and the best way to use Chinese is to dive headfirst into the culture and geography of the Chinese speaking world.

Chinese Women will be particularly forgiving of your rude Western ways

Chinese Women will be particularly forgiving of your rude Western ways.

This is intended only as a primer on the very basics of etiquette in China, and it’s decidedly slanted to a Western Male’s point of view. With a little luck, when you arrive in China this will help you avoid severely embarrassing yourself, but trust me – you’ll make many faux pas, and most of the time you’ll be completely unaware that you’ve done so because it is not like the Chinese to point out to you any errors you’ve made. To do so would cause you to lose face, and the Chinese are very concerned neither to lose face themselves, nor to cause loss of face to others. Chinese Women will be particularly forgiving of your rude Western ways.

Before moving on to specific areas of etiquette, here are some generalizations:

1. There are many different “cultures” in China (55 or 56 depending on what book you read) and many variations on specific areas of etiquette, but if your behaviour on any matter is acceptable to most of the Chinese cultures the others will forgive you if it varies from theirs. The other side of that coin is that you shouldn’t expect a Chinese woman who is a farm girl from Hunan to practice the same etiquette as a debutante from Shanghai.
