Mainlanders love money and they'd sell you virtually anything. The local education has to be on the same page as the central government is on. Unis around aren't much different from training schools. FTs just feel a bit safer and honored there and so you won't hear as much cr*p about them. FTs have their dignity but it offten evaporates if staying for a longer period of time in the region, and especially if they have developed their social network etc. Knowing that offers aren't much different around, they just take what's out there. Employers have learnt that too.

As for the company, training center in case, it's been owned by some rich fellas that've made fortune in selling some medical equipment as far as i know. Having visited the place, I can only tell you that it looks much nicer than many other schools/centers around the country. Or, should i say has looked? It was almost ten years ago when they opened. Nice house, friendly owners and a humorous DoS, EF escapee called Mark C. It's even more humorous he returned to EF few years later. Interestingly, York was opened because of Mark, who bitterly took some materials and even customers out of the EF center he had worked in before the York advanture. My bet is that the center has been founded on the fallacies of this chap that has well aged by now. Moreover, i believe the owners have got fed up with him and the business that makes little profit and lots of troubles. That of course only if they are the same owners as i have drunk beer with 10 years back somewhere in a beautiful Fuzhou.

Cheers and beers
