There are countries like China were reputation is more central then in the West. A powerful person who sufficiently ruins their repuation gets thrown into jail in China. A huge problem with this is that it sets up incentives to kill free speech and is one of the key reasons why you have less free speech in China then in the West.
I was also under the impression that China, and many other Asian countries where status and “face” is highly important were generally considered low trust cultures—meaning you expect your neighbor to behave opportunistically if you’re not watching closely.
