Of all the immigrant groups in Australia, only Chinese and Indians can be said to be rivals. In terms of number, competitiveness and diligence, the Chinese people are not inferior to the Indians, but many people find that Indians are better than the Chinese in terms of their integration into Australian society, and they are also immigrants. Why do Indians mix better than Chinese?
1. The Chinese and the Indians "meet each other in a narrow way."
No matter where you are in Australia, you can almost see the Indian people. In terms of numbers, Chinese and Indians are the two most emigrated groups in Australia.
According to the Census report of the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the largest number of immigrants to Australia is Indians, reaching 38854, while the number of Chinese immigrants is close behind, at 28293.
In terms of diligence, the Chinese have enjoyed a global reputation for hard work and hard work, but the Indian spirit of hard work is definitely not poor. Every day before dawn get up to work, until late at night back home in the office, there are Chinese figure, but also Indian figure.
Indian and Chinese children are doing well at school, the average income of both groups is high, and the proportion of doctors and lawyers is good.
It can be said that in Australia's various industries, but in terms of ability, the Chinese and Indian people can be said to be the most "equal" competitors.
But we often find that Indians often do much better than Chinese people in terms of their integration into the mainstream society in Australia.
2. The ability of Indians to integrate
In the past decade, both China and India have become emerging powers, and more Chinese and Indians have stepped out of the country.
But we will find that in the mainstream Western society, especially in the management of various industries, Chinese faces are far less than those of Indians.
In the equally strong IT industry with China and India, Indians have won two CEO titles in Silicon Valley's Big three-Apple, Google and Microsoft-in the past decade.
And Motorola, Pepsi Coke, Nokia and other industry giants have chosen Indians as CEO..
So the question is, why are Chinese people no less skilled and able to work than Indians, and why are they not as good as Indians in the mainstream of the West?
Why do some Chinese people think they are "unreliable", "just don't practice", "greedy for small and cheap", "impolite" Indians, but let foreigners rest assured that the power of the company to them?
3. How did the Indians integrate into Australia?
The answer may be that some of the traits prevalent in the Indian character may be closer to the Western character.
1, language advantage
We will find that Indians in Australia are generally good at English and can communicate with Australians without hindrance, so they can communicate better and have better understanding with the local Australian community.
Although Chinese have also received English education since childhood, they do not pay much attention to "speaking" and it is relatively difficult to communicate.
2. Mode of thinking
However, language is not the most important reason.
In India, 80% of Indians are native speakers of English, generally able to go overseas, the majority of English-speaking Indians have received strict and good all-British education from an early age.
India has been colonized by Britain for many years, and its education and culture are also very western. There are so many clubs in high schools and universities in India that their heads need to be debated and campaigned.
In general, education in India also encourages free expression. Indian accents are often ridiculed, but they think more Westerners, more extroverted and more integrated.
Education in China tends to focus more on achievement than on the ability to "socialize", "cooperate," communicate, "tolerate," and so on.
3. Unity
Overseas, Indians seem to be more United, with a heavy "hugging culture". After the first Indian immigrants arrived in Australia, they knew that domestic conditions were difficult and difficult, so they selflessly helped their newly arrived fellow-townsmen and friends.
There is always a strong network of relationships within the Indian immigrant community, which is mutually reinforcing. The Chinese, however, lack such awareness overseas and even struggle with each other internally.
Finally, in Australia, some Chinese are stereotypical of Indians and do not like to deal with Indians.
But we also need to see that both India and overseas Indians have gradually become direct competitors between China and the Chinese.
Complaint to complain, perhaps in the integration of the mainstream of Australia, Indian people, there are some worthy of learning.
