Popis: Despite the long history of work addressing cultural competency, relatively little attention has been given to how supervisory discourse affects the supervision unit in any context—particularly within the Chinese context. This article reflects a consideration of Chinese cultural values within the supervisor-supervisee discourse and their potentially positive and negative effects on the supervisory system. We describe an approach to supervision that details how to address intersecting forms of cultural values such as social hierarchy, piety, face-concerns, other-centeredness, and harmony that may be operating within the Chinese social and professional context. We include three supervisory practices to address Chinese values, with case examples that illustrate them.
