Collectively speaking, dishonesty, disingenuity and duplicity are the biggest part of the Chinese national traits, and they are used to and adapt at this as demonstrated by their own various ancient adages such as “putting honeydew on the lips while harboring a dagger in the heart” (口蜜腹剣), which is similar to the phrase “velvet paws hide sharp claws” in meaning. On the other hand, with China’s rapid surge and power expansion, some may become haughty and snooty, and swooned by their own “illustrious successes”, coupled by a latent “in your face” desire toward the West, thus can’t help showing off a little bit and disclosing their true mind.
