se faire valoir

[arjuncasa]

je cherche la traduction dans ce contexte: les chinois valorisent les autres ouvertement et se font valoir discrètement.
Merci

I think it means : "The Chinese value others openly, and value themselves quietly." - but it is difficult to translate "faire valoir" correctly into English...it means roughly "to value, assign value to".
