...I had heard many bad things about the Shane English chain before I worked there, yet I approached them with an open mind. Unfortunately, this appears to be a chain and a franchise that allows many illegal pratices...

Unfortunately, I have been left with the impression that this is really true of modern Chinese cultue as a whole...

I was lied to and I felt exploited for the time that I worked ther... And the head office in Shanghai did nothing to remedy any ills... That includes foreign as well as local administrators...

As China gains more and more economic power, I would hate to live in a world that promote "sinonization" over globalization...

In fact I would do everthing possible tp prevent it...!
