The article looks at the contentious nature of anthropology in the 1990s, where China feared that modernizing forces would destroy its traditions and values. However, with time the Chinese people in China have influenced social change by developing technologies that have affected people's culture. As much as the Chinese back at home have maintained their culture, the technological developments that take place in China have influenced the global culture in various ways. China is one of the countries that have been on the forefront in developing newer technologies, which have challenged its own traditional cultures whilst influencing the culture of the western world.

Pearce (2006) advances that Chinese people in the United States, have achieved high levels of educational achievement. He argues that the unique culture of the Chinese elites in America, has given them an excellent reputation as a 'model minority'. This is because Chinese culture has taught the learners the value of resilience and persistence to task. The Chinese learners are identified, by their strong ability to whether school transitions and perform highly. This culture has given them recognition, and affected their American counterparts, by challenging their ability to undertake their studies.

The fact that communism still dominates affairs in the country can limit or discourage foreign investors. This is probably one of the main reasons for which large corporations are hesitant about investing large amounts of money in China (Weatherbee & Emmers 42).
