Abstract
This article gives special attention to Chinese business culture and its impact upon the financial sector. Several decades ago, China turned into attractive market for foreign investors. However, investors face various problems in dealing with the Chinese partners. This research is focused on studying the growing impact of Chinese culture upon finance and business cross-cultural communication. Analysis is conducted on the existing theories and their application for finding the answers to the articulated research questions. The author conducted a case study in the form of interviews with the Russian entrepreneurs who cooperated with the Chinese partners. The conclusion is made that Chinese business practice has specific characteristics and norms embedded in the Chinese society and culture. The fundamental values of Chinese culture shape behavioral patterns and mentality of the people, which affects the international partnerships. Success in cross-cultural investment depends on understanding the peculiarities and mentality of the Chinese partners. The relevance of this research consists in the fact that the study of cultural aspects is relatively new for the financial economists. It presses the need to broaden horizons by analyzing cultural aspects and carrying out a case study.
