Just goes to show there are things to be learned from both (and other) cultures. Once we get further down our shared timeline, hopefully we can choose the best of all and further humankind.

I feel like this should be titled differences in China and Germany rather than East and West. Both areas are culturally diverse enough that using one country as a metric isn't really fair.

Quite accurate. Well done!

Hilarious.

Damn, a ton of "feels" hurt here. Poor poor victims.......

Please get the title right. This is not East Vs West, this is very specific Germany VS China.

I really like their art. Makes you think. I've seen an exhibition in Aachen ~2010. Just before I went to China. We used it as discussion facilitator for the cultural training.

It seems to me that a lot of the negative reactions are to Yet Another BP Post That Lacks Subtlety. It's strange to me that the title of the series was painted is such broad strokes: Berlin vs. Beijing would have been more poetic and reflective of the observed differences, and it would also recognize that painting something like half of all humans vs the other almost half of all humans is probably too broad of a stroke. I also, personally, dislike this from an infographic perspective because a good graphic condenses complicated information while making it more accessible and the graphics... do the opposite? These observations, without cultural context, and presented as a full card each seem to be adding space and removing information, and I can tell from other comments that I wasn't the only one who found some of these counterintuitive or confusing.

There's a lot to be said about a "we" mind set and "me" mind set. I remember how people took what they needed from the stores for their families to eat after the earthquake/tsunami. I wondered if in western culture if people would just raid everything for themselves. I don't operate on a "me" mentality and people will take advantage of your lack of selfishness. It's sad.

Great tool here to compare this for multiple countries https://www.hofstede-insights.com/country-comparison-tool

Most of these could just as easily be the difference between Northern and Southern Europe, so the title is wildly inaccurate.

One of biggest bullahits i ever seen in my entire life

She is a racist because she has claimed Chinese cultural habits as the same for all of Asia.......... The article is labeled wrong. It should be the EU and China not west and east

In general, stereotyping is probably something we should leave behind. Everybody is unique and different. It's okay to embrace that and not generalized assumptions.

Whoever drew these graphics is likely well meaning but it's so stereotyped, I felt uneasy by the end of the post. Also as a westerner, I didn't relate to a number of the "western" things eg two cold meals at breakfast and dinner? The f**k?
