Consumer Behavior in USA and in China for research

Good Morning to YOU, I have reason to believe that lifestyles of Americans in USA and Chinese in China are noticeably different. China's farmers occupy circa +- 70% of the entire population and their ways are not the same as average Americans. Such disparity would affect the economy.

If we are researchers of behavioral economics,we must study Chinese culture which influences the habits of folks in China as traditional value. Morever,research in the original Chinese language would be the primary source of understanding behavior of folks in China.

The Fulbright program requires good command of the Chinese language for China Studies such as native fluency with a university degree from China or graduate studies in the Chinese language. That is certainly warranted in my judgment as a former researcher at the RAND Corporation,Santa Monica,California with publication of "A Glimpse of the Chinese Language" Available at www.rand.org for PDF format free of charge as a public service.
