Abstract
Studying Chinese culture and the Mandarin Chinese language is integral in today’s global environment. There are specific cultural differences and similarities between mainland China and Taiwan through economics, politics, and international relations. On an international scale, cultural differences between countries and territories are especially important for intelligence analysts to understand. These differences can start tariff restrictions, military action, and full-out war if not acted on before it is too late. The researchers hope to enhance their knowledge of Chinese culture through literary research and analysis of data collected through surveys, field observations, and interviews while studying abroad in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, summer 2019. This research will assist future study abroad programs to enrich the lives of students studying Chinese. Additionally, through conducting this research, the researchers will improve their language proficiency and analyst skills to identify conflict on global issues.
