Disagreements were common for Chinese and Ecuadorean engineers during the research and design of the Coca Codo Sinclair hydroelectric dam, the largest energy project in Ecuador.
Disputes could last for an entire day, and some had to be shelved for resolution at a later date, according to Luo Xuannyu, who worked as a translator on the project between 2012 and 2014. Construction started in 2010.
However, it was through such heated discussions that both sides learned from each other, said Yin Dewen, director general of Yellow River Engineering Consulting Co's Overseas Project Engineering Institute.
