Culture Shock

Yes definitely (unless you are a Sinologist maybe). Depending on where you are going to be stationed and how you are 'received' by your colleagues this can be an immediate cold shower or a slow trickle creeping-up on you.

Despite the use of the phrase cold shower we don't want to be negative, merely describe a feeling. China has very little common history or cultural equivalent with most of the industrialized, 'Westernized', countries you are probably coming from.

If you are going to Shanghai or Beijing the first impressions may be muted by the presence of office towers, heavy traffic, Starbucks and other common big-city sights but this is just the surface.

It is very difficult to describe here but be prepared that anything you take for granted, in the sense of attitude and thinking, could be completely different in the PRC, and we do mean completely.
