Need more FT's with a couple of balls in China.

Amen to that bro. You can find a few here and there but to find ones who stick to principle is tough.

I don't know about principles but what about the status quo?

I can agree that there's a growing lily-livered approach towards the erosion of facilities provided to the FT, like for an example the desktop computer. You can hardly blame school owners if they leap onto the subservient willingness of FT's to bring and use their own expensive laptops for school work. Where will it all end I ask myself; will future FT's be seen struggling with blackboards and retroprojectors at Beijing airport?...Maybe even further..perhaps we all will be required to pay the schools for the privilege of employing us. As I said, I don't blame Chinese schools, I blame FT's for not fighting hard enough to get a good deal....then when things turn sour they grumble.
