China has a society has a 56 ethnic groups and Chinese behaviour is based out of ancient philosophy which their ancestors have laid down. Chinese people place more value to their work than the other countries. For Chinese material wealth has more importance and shows as a symbol of status and managers who work in china should definitely know that China employees should be rewarded with extrinsic rewards rather than the fundamental rewards.

So, for the companies who had setup a place here had not been very difficult for them since the country has always adapted to the change. Most of the companies have noted that they should not imbalance the nature just to setup the company here because Japanese respect the nature a lot and it should not be harmed.
