Chinese Companies Rent White Foreigners
The job market may look bad here, but if you're in China, and you happen to be white, all you need is a suit and tie. An increasing number of Chinese companies are willing to pay any price to have a few fair-skinned faux employees walking around. From the article: "'Face, we say in China, is more important than life itself,' said Zhang Haihua, author of Think Like Chinese. 'Because Western countries are so developed, people think they are more well off, so people think that if a company can hire foreigners, it must have a lot of money and have very important connections overseas. So when they really want to impress someone, they may roll out a foreigner.' Or rent one."
Vote for Carly Fiorina and Meg Whitman so they can send your job to China! Help restore republican economic policies.
Yeah, b/c Barbara "dont call me ma'am" Boxer and Gov. then Att. Gen now wants to be Gov again "Moonbeam"(It's like California Uber Allies was a prophecy) have been doing such a bang up job running the economy.
I laughed at the weak who considered themselves good because they lacked claws.
It might not have been wine. I work in a lab with a number of Chinese co-workers and there's a tendency to call any non-beer alcoholic beverage "wine." That includes the god-awful marshmallow-infused turpentine flavor of their liquor Maotai, 106 proof firewater that's rougher than moonshine. It's also very expensive so you can't turn it down without being rude.
