Today's world has experienced political and economic globalization, which has promoted increasingly frequent cultural exchanges among countries. In the course of communication, people will inevitably have misunderstandings and conflicts. Each nation has its own unique social system, legal system, cultural customs and so on, and these national characteristics will show diversity and difference in language and culture. In cross-cultural communication, such diversity and difference will lead to estrangement, misunderstanding and even conflict between different cultures. When contacting with different culture for the first time, it will often cause culture shock, which will lead to maladjustment. However, there are not only similarities but also differences between different cultures. Commonness provides common platform for mutual communication, and promotes their cooperative development. However, differences may lead to communication barriers between organizations or individuals with different backgrounds in cross-cultural communication, which may cause a variety of situations that they cannot adapt to the new culture, or serious cultural conflicts, which may lead to the stagnation of cross-cultural communication. The main manifestation is the phenomenon of "culture shock". However, in order to continue the communication, we must find a way to mitigate the impact and improve the ability to adapt. In order to resolve these culture shock, both sides should actively build a bridge of mutual communication. Due to the great differences between Chinese and western cultures, Chinese Americans encounter communication problems in life and work, which leads to cultural shock and communication failure in life and work. Therefore, it is particularly important to have good intercultural communication skills.
