I've worked for a few crappy training centres in China and I'm bound to say Yuming has them all beaten hands down, they really are the pits; however, it works for them, they are flying along on the crest of a wave and coining in more dosh than they have ever done, largely down to the economic situation in the west. The plight of a few little westerners wailing and gnashing their teeth seems to be neither here nor there. It's bloody difficult to see how they are going to be knocked off of the gravy train.

The wiseing-up of the schools they do business with can't be relied upon because as you will know their leaders will all be paid consideration cash by Yuming, so even if Yuming cannot provide a teacher from time to time, MR Wong the leader still gets his ill-gotten gains, Wong will still be getting his pocketful of wonger.

What about the authorities, do they also get some wonger-well, you would have thought that they do, otherwise they would have lost patience with Yuming a long time since.

Complaining about them to central government would be a hiding to nothing-the last thing the government want to do is to upset little local leaders, they have enough on their plate to deal with.

All we can do is to try and persuade some teachers not to go there, but there will be plenty that do. Certainly, for an individual to visit their office and confront that whey-faced-hag, Helen, would be ill-advised cos she might be giving PC Pong his Xmas bonus.
