China Can Suck-Reality of Chinese Business

My good friend has a business in China, she does weddings, sings and acts as the MC. Saturday she was jacked as she scored a good paying gig for a local wedding. Being the honest sort, she met with honorable owner and shook on a fair price for the work. Spending nearly 24 hours in a row preparing and then taking part in the event she then left. The problem is that this is China and as anyone who works in China will tell you, Chinese have no morals and definitely dont pay their bills. After doing the work required her, my friend tried to claim her pay ,but the owner, being a typical Chinese said she would only pay her half of the agreed upon amount. Before you jump on your ‘dont bash china bandwagon’ and tell me how one time “Billy Joe Hunsacker got screwed out of a weeks wages down at the local washeteria on Main and vine”, because you need stifle yourself and take notes. The reality is that Chinese dont trust Chinese and now I dont either. Sadly enough the Chinese see us as fools as we enter into ‘handshake agreements’ or ‘gentleman’s agreements’. The problem is that China does not, for the most part have honorable people in business. I have had the extreme displeasure of working for two Chinese firms and got fked by both of them.All of my foreign friends who have owrked for Chiense firms have been boned by them and all of my chinese frineds as well. Chines business people are turly the refuse of the working world. Anyway, China is a cool place, but what I am telling you is the same as i was told and did not believe till I came here… Before you come, be sure you can work for an ABC, Anything But Chinese firm
