Chinese Workers Slam Koreans
Korean businesses in Chinas Qingdao, where there is a
concentration of them, have invited hefty criticism from locals on
the heads of the Korean nation. The mid-June issue of the Qingdao
Journal, which is published by the Korean Chamber of Commerce in
the city, featured gripes against Koreans made in a discussion with
Chinese people in their 20s to 40s, who did not hold back once
their anonymity was guaranteed.
Some Korean businessmen are so stingy when it comes down to money
business with employees, but they squander money like water and
lead an extremely luxurious life, on typical comment read.
Some said the admiration they had for Korea evaporated when they
started working in Korean firms.
"Some Korean people are so arrogant, they think they are the best
in the world, one disgruntled worker said. They look down on
Chinese people because we are poorer. I mainly had contact with
Korean women, and they always complain how Chinese products are low
in quality, and how Chinese maids are clumsy and lazy.
"Koreans do not seem to earn a lot of money, but they do seem to
spend a lot, said another. Most Korean people have to go
somewhere after a meal, no matter what time of the day. They go
straight to karaoke parlors and love to drink shooters. Some men go
to find prostitutes.
Another worker said Korean business culture is despotic and
self-righteous. You are only allowed to say yes to the orders
from your boss
Bosses go beyond strictness in the way they treat
staff.
