Chinese
These chopsticks are usually made from plastic, they are longer than other. This is because Chinese people have the culture of sharing food, thus this makes it easy from them to pick food from the middle and distributing to other without stretching too much or standing. Hotpot is a common food there too, thus long chopsticks help keep their finger away from hot stock.
