Western countries.
3. In America or Europe, people at office jobs work nine-
to-five and usually go home as soon as it’s 5 p.m.

 Money and the way of spending it
Money in Chinese culture and traditions is valued differently in
comparison with the western countries Of course, in both
cultures, people earn money to satisfy basic needs such as food,
housing, and clothes. Westerners are likely to save up for
journeys abroad and some luxurious possessions like cars.
However, some of them might not save up at all. Instead, they
will spend more on everyday needs in order to feel comfortable.
Chinese people are more modest. Money gives them a feeling of
security and stability.
They are likely to save up some money just in
case.
