• Change your view and increase your knowledge for the new culture.

• The western view of delivering direct bad news is not the universal way, sometimes feelings and emotions does matter.

• First find out context (high and low context culture) and then delivered the bad news according to it. 

• Even Asian method (delivering bad news indirectly) is sometimes leaded to misinterpretations and confusions.

• Sometimes you have to deliver bad news that you have never addressed before.

Difficulties in presenting bad news in other culture

Asian people used say, “That seems difficult” or “Maybe” instead of NO. And Americans are used to delivered direct words. so somtimes they are getting confused when Asian people use some indirect words because it's misleading them. While Asian people use this indirect method because they don't want to hurt the other people by delivering bad news directly, so they use phrases for that. They are being polite for maintaining a affiliation.
 Even the Japanese people use different kind of words instead of saying direct "YES" or "NO".
So its like different strocks with different folks. Someone says directly what they mean, while otherone says indirectly because they do not want to hurt anybody.
