For sure your summation of current FT's in China is spot on. The Resume Sectiion is an indicator of the quality of FT's these days both in China and elsewhere. For certain the quality of talent is appalling. I also wonder why most of FT's are ugly, especially many of the women. Often fat or othetwise unappealing, no pride in themselves. You would think they would do something to improve themselves. The Resume Section, yikes! It's an endless train wreck, a horror story! I was always in tip top condition when I worked abroad, unlike the current crop of losers.
