Q: Does jade have the same value in the West as it does in China?

I don't think jade is big in the west. We prefer diamonds. But at the end of the day, is jade considered equally valuable in the west and are their foreigners who collect jade as an investment similar to gold?

Wow, I didn't see this question earlier, and my answer is I don't know (sorry) but I seriously hope so. My wife has a ton of the stuff, and a lot of it is high quality too.

Be aware that the prices in respectable jade shops can be very high. We bought some pieces of jade that were about 1000RMB. thanks to the fact that my mother in law has magical negotiation skills, they were negotiated down to about a 3rd.

A: Chinese are generally pretty tolerant friendly and accepting whatever
A:Chinese are generally pretty tolerant friendly and accepting whatever foreigners do.  I spent 15 years in China but I wouldn't say there are that many don'ts....Don't assume that many people speak English though and learn some Chinese. Don't speak much about politics unless you want to praise Chinese system.  -- Natalie363
