To me, one of the main characteristic is 漢人 will work under adverse conditions. Even though many will complain among themselves but rarely they will voice it in public. Also 漢人 rarely use excuses. For example, look at all those early immigrants, they came to North American and work under inhumane conditions. They still "follow orders" and "work hard". I remember the old generations always told me "use your actions to show that you are better than they are rather than stopped, complained and cried for help". I think this really separate 漢人 and blacks, Muslims, Indians, .... They always complained about discriminations that's why they cannot be in the top level of work rather than work harder to achieve what you want. Realistically, to me, if you are good, you will have chances to move up. May be just slower though.
漢人 are very good in following text book styles, ... that's why I said they are good in following orders. If the boss want this, I will be able to do it. This can be seen throughout our history. Carry out what the king wants and make him happy. Benefits will come. However, innovation-wize, they are not that bad but they don't want to invest in uncertainty. Invest in "modifying existing technology" rather than investing in "developing new technology" because the benefits will come a lot earlier.
One of the worst characteristic is that 漢人, in general, will complain about this and that among friends ... However, if someone is going to do something about it, everyone else will stop and the worse case is don't even support it. I guess the saying "smart people speak, and stupid people take action" (sorry, don't know how to type Chinese and if I use translate then cut and paste, will take too long) is very true. There's absolutely no unity at all. In my line of work, I have seen so many cases that 漢人 complains in my office and when they problems were raised in meetings, they all stayed back as if they are not their problems. If we unite at that point, we may be able to change certain procedures! That's very frustrating. I have a long discussion with a recently retired professor in HKU and he was saying exactly the same thing. So my conclusion is that 團結 is a major problem for 漢人. Let others do the work and we will gain the benefits. If no one is going to do it, so just work with the flow.
Innovation will come if the government and major companies are willing to invest in it. I mean invest in developing new technology and not in terms of modifying old technology. Lots of 漢人 are now studying outside China and they have the basic foundation and their mind set a changing slowly. They have to learn that success will not be achieve in a short time. It is a long term investment. I believe 漢人 will have a major breakthrough in medical studies soon because of the fact that 漢人 are familiar with both the western style and the traditional Chinese style of medicine. Westerners still are very puzzled with some of our traditional treatment. Also, put it badly, the government is will to have "human" testing way earlier than the restricted western countries.
"Family value come first. Gain send to himself and family."
Yes, I agree. Personal gain, and then family gain and eventually kept the "gold mountain" within the family. That's our characteristics.
Sorry for the long message.
