I would like to set the tone for this book and for my suggested
approach to cross-cultural negotiations as you prepare for the China
market. Culture is the preeminent element that requires your critical
capacity to inquire, without bias, avoiding prevailing assumptions and
imperfect theoretical foundations, but instead, to ask questions that go
beyond your current understandings, your initial interpretations, and to
acknowledge the role of your Chinese counterpart’s culture in their nego-
tiations strategy, and as a result, in your strategic China market entry and
negotiation development. For purposes of this book, I would like to offer
a definition of empathy as:
Empathy is the experience of understanding people’s condition,
from their perspective
Please note, I am not suggesting your goal should be that of “role-
taking” or even the “golden rule.” The objective is not for you to try
to behave like your Chinese or American counterpart, or to treat them,
as you want to be treated. You should remain loyal to your own culture,

(J. S. of Dale)
Ishould like some time to tell how Tetherby came to his end; he,
too, was a victim of materialism, as his father had been before him;
but when he died, he left this story, addressed among his papers to
me; and I am sure he meant that all the world (or such part of it as
cares to think) should know it. He had told it, or partly told it, to us
before; in fragments, in suggestions, in those midnight talks that
earnest young men still have in college, or had, in 1870.
Tetherby came from that strange, cold, Maine coast, washed in
its fjords and beaches by a clear, cold sea, which brings it fogs of
winter but never haze of summer; where men eat little, think much,
drink only water, and yet live intense lives; where the village people,
in their long winters away from the world, in an age of revivals had
their waves of atheism, and would transform, in those days, their
pine meeting-houses into Shakspere clubs, and logically make a cult
of infidelity; now, with railways, I suppose all that has ceased; they
read Shakspere as little as the scriptures, and the Sunday
newspaper replaces both. Such a story—such an imagination—as
Tetherby’s, could not happen now—perhaps. But they take life
earnestly in that remote, ardent province; they think coldly; and,
when you least expect it, there comes in their lives, so hard and
sharp and practical, a burst of passion.
He came to Newbridge to study law, and soon developed a
strange faculty for debate. The first peculiarity was his name—which
first appeared and was always spelled, C. S. J. J. Tetherby in the
catalogue, despite the practice, which was to spell one’s name in full.
Of course, speculation was rife as to the meaning of this portentous
array of initials; and soon, after his way of talk was known, arose a
popular belief that they stood for nothing less than Charles Stuart
Jean Jacques. Nothing less would justify the intense leaning of his
mind, radical as it was, for all that was mystical, ideal, old. But
afterwards we learned that he had been so named by his curious
father, Colonel Sir John Jones, after a supposed loyalist ancestor,
who had flourished in the time of the Revolution, and had gone to
Maine to get away from it; Tetherby’s father being evidently under
the impression that the two titles formed a component part of the
ancestor’s identity.
Rousseau Tetherby, as he continued to be called, was a tall, thin,
broad-shouldered fellow, of great muscular strength and yet with
feeble health, given to hallucinations and morbid imaginations which
he would recount to you in that deep monotone of twang that
seemed only fit to sell a horse in. The boys made fun of Tetherby; he
bore it with a splendid smile and a twinkle in his ice-blue eye, until
one day it went too far, and then he tackled the last offender and
chucked him off the boat-house float into the river. He would have
rowed upon the university crew, but that his digestion gave out;
strong as he was in mind and body, nothing, that went for the
nutrition and fostering of life, was well with him. Such men as he are
repellent to the sane, and are willed by the world to die alone.
