“…The results suggest that Chinese residents are less privacy-conscious and show a higher acceptance level of the national policies. The discrepancy in attitudes could be attributed to the prevalence of individualistic culture in the U.S. versus the collectivist culture in China ( Fang et al, 2016 ).…”

“…Following the “live with the virus” approach, the U.S. has had comparatively loose restrictions which result in approximately 2239 deaths per million residents ( WHO, 2021 ). American travellers are likely to behave differently from their Chinese counterparts due to the discrepancy in risk perception of the pandemic and attitudes towards health control measures ( Fang et al, 2016 , Ioannou et al, 2020 , Xing et al, 2021 ). Chinese may be more likely to embrace additional travel requirements, as they are more obedient to regulations issued by the governments.…”

“…As we found from interviewees, contracting may have different or added functions in Chinese strategic alliances compared to those in the cases of Gilson et al (2009), because the Chinese market has some different features to those found in a mature market such as in the US (Mockler et al, 1999;Fang et al, 2016). The different characteristics of emerging markets 2 may lead to different behavioral modes for partners in an alliance who consider contracting for innovation to grab market opportunities while avoiding or minimizing opportunistic risks and hold-up issues (Williamson, 1975;Lavie, 2006;Lafontaine and Slade, 2007;).…”

“…Chinese culture differs substantively from that of the US on the individualism-versus-collectivism dimension. While the culture of the US is individualistic, China's is collectivistic (Fang et al, 2016). Chinese culture appears to be somewhat vague and ambiguous in terms of the boundaries of its public and private spheres (Venkatesh and Zhang, 2010).…”

PurposeCOVID-19, an infectious disease first identified in China, has resulted in an ongoing pandemic all over the world. Most of the countries have been experiencing a difficult period during the fighting of this pandemic. The purpose of this study is to explore the effect of privacy concerns and cultural differences on public opinion related to the pandemic. The authors conducted a comparative analysis of public opinion in the US and in China as a case study, in order to determine the results.Design/methodology/approachNational policies on important issues faced during the COVID-19 pandemic in the US and in China were examined through a comparative analysis. The authors used text clustering and visualization to mine public opinion on two popular social media platforms, Twitter and Weibo. From the perspectives of concern for privacy and of national culture, this study combines qualitative and quantitative analysis to discover the acceptance level of national policies by the public in the two countries.FindingsThe anti-pandemic policies and measures of the US and China reflect the different characteristics of their respective political systems and national cultures. When considering the culture of the US, it is hard to establish and enforce a rigorous regulation on either mask wearing in public or home quarantine on the national level. The opinions of US people are diverse, regarding national COVID-19 policies, but they are rather unified on privacy issues. On the other hand, Chinese people show a high acceptance of national policies based on their mask-wearing customs and their culture of collectivism.Originality/valuePrior studies have paid insufficient attention to the ways in which user privacy and cultural difference affect public opinion on national policies between the US and China. This case study that compares public opinion on current and topical issues which are closely bound up with public life shows originality, as it innovatively provides a cross-cultural perspective on the research of public opinion dissemination during emergencies by considering the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
