Funny you should mention a case of an FT being instructed to lie about his country of origin.
At a private college in Dongbei, where I taught for two semesters, the Chinese director told a Russian employed as an FT of English to say that he was English.
At a training center in Hubei, where I foolishly taught for a couple of months, a dosser (or DOS) told a "British" Cameroonian to say she was a Canadian. When I started a conversation about Quebec, she didn't know anything about that Canadian province. So, the dosser later instructed her to read up on Canada via the Net!
Laughable, isn't it? But that's not all! Young FT's are also told to lie about their age and where they graduated from. The Russian said he was 5 years older and had graduated from London University, whereas the "British" Cameroonian said she was 7 years older and had graduated from Cambridge University!
The worst aspect of all this was the dosser's collusion with the Chinese director. Shame on you, laowei dosser! Unfortunately, laowei dossers can be just like the Chinese - they'll sell their souls for filthy lucre!
