In response to Re New York Times article: Zambia Balances Aid From China and Resentment (China Fan)

If you adapt to the culture here, you might actually like living and working in the PRC! Go with the flow and behave like a Chinese. Cast off your Western preconceptions and culture. That's how astute foreigners advance themselves here in spite of doing very little.

You come across as a bit of a grovelling weasel, if you don't mind me saying so. That said, I've met some foreigners here who behave like the Chinese in one respect that I dislike very much - they'll cheat their fellow FT's for the sake of money. For example, they'll introduce them to schools they know are duff to pocket introduction fees, or assist a cruel Chinese boss to pressurise them in order for said grovelling weasel to keep on very good terms with his greedy headmaster.
I hope you're not that kind of 'astute foreigner'. Cheating greedy Chinese employers whenever you can is fair, but doing so to your fellow FT's is lower than a snake's belly!
