More about the book

The report examines the differences in human intelligence (HUMINT) practices between China and the U.S., highlighting how Chinese techniques reflect high-context communication norms. It begins by exploring the significance of context in daily life in China and provides a theoretical framework for understanding this emphasis. By contrasting it with the low-context communication style prevalent in the U.S., the report underscores how these cultural distinctions influence HUMINT operations, making context a crucial factor in their effectiveness.
