The purpose of this article was to examine: (1) How do Chinese communicate? and (2) Why no Chinese communicate the way they do Five major speaking practices in Chinese culture were identified and analyzed. They include: (a) han xu, or implicit communication; (b) ting hua, or listening-centeredness; (c) ke qi or politeness; (d) zi ji ten, or a focus on insiders; and (e) mian zi, or face-directed communication strategies. These five speaking practices are situated in the relational and other focus of the Chinese self, and support the deeply rooted Chinese beliefs about talk as well as role-directed relationships.
