As indicated in the article on the percieved personaity Disorder of the USA, We tend to judge others based on their behaviour as compared to the rest of the world in the same manner that we judge the behavior of those in our own societies that is considerd abnormal. One society may have certain traits and mannerism that would be considered a disorder in another society while perfectly normal within that society.
Considering that personality Disorders stem from gradual development of inflexible and distorted personality and behavioral patterns, This writer investigated a few countries that she is familiar with and came up with what maybe termed as Disorders to the rest of the world while perfectly normal within their own countries.
In this article China is considered in relation to the rest of the world. The criteria used to diagnosis these Disorders is the American Diagnostic Statistic Manual (DSM –IV-TR) .The DSM gives the criteria for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCPD) as a pervasive pattern of preoccupation with orderliness, perfectionism and mental and interpersonal control, as indicated by at least four of the following:
1) Preoccupation with details, rules, order, or schedules to the extent that the major point of an activity is lost,
2) Extreme perfectionism that interferes with task completion,
3) Excessive devotion to work to the exclusion of leisure and friendships,
4) Overly inflexible and over conscientious about matters of morality, ethics, or values,
5) Inability to discard worn out or worthless objects,
6) Reluctance to delegate tasks or work with others unless others do exactly the same things,
7) miserliness in spending style toward self and others, Shows rigidity and stubbornness.
China is known for her perfectionist tendencies to the point of seeming paranoid.

China is the only country in the world that this writer knows of that has laws on the number of children one can have and yet it is obeyed.
