Chinese social relationships are social relationships typified by a mutual social network. The individuals within the social network are connected by guanxi(links) and the feeling within the links is known by the term ganqing.An important concept within Chinese social relationships is the concept of face, as in many other Asian cultures. As articulated in the sociological works of Chinese leading academic Fei Xiaotong, the Chinese,in contrast to people of other societies,tend to see social relationships in terms of social networks. Hence, the relationships between people are perceived as being “near” or “far” rather than “in” or “out”.
