Wrong, piglet. Just another uninformed opinion on a subject you've not bothered to research. Had you bothered to open your eyes while in China, you would now be aware that the concept of "face" or "losing face" ( diū liǎn) permeates many facets of Chinese society and is not as limited as you make it out to be and has worked quite well, from a social standpoint, for a very long time.

Of course you're hung up on the whole lying thing because your whole online persona is a fabrication. Will you lose face when your lies are revealed for what they are?

Some people lie. There are a lot of people in China. Some Chinese people lie.

Some EFL teachers in China (most I would hazard to guess think they're teaching ESL) also lie. When they're found out, they plead innocence. When they're found out to be teaching without the proper credentials, they just take their lies elsewhere. Sound familiar?
