Legend: cf. Table 9 & 10.
A similar picture emerges in the cross-tabulations between the level of face attributes and face situations (Table 12). At the level of country alone. The proportion of sentences that are enhancing to China is 23.4% compared to 34.1% at the individual level. If the three collective levels other than the sports representatives are taken together, the sum of their proportion in this column amount to 43.4%, much larger than those at the individual level. This stands in contrast to the figures in the third column. Those at the individual level alone account for 48.3% while the total from the three collective levels together does not even reach 15%.
