    So I was chatting to a bloke who knows things. We got talking about Chinese restaurants. Every village in Ireland has one. In my small town there are seven. The bloke and I came to the conclusion something dodge is going on. Tis not food that is the main earner ...

    I think the same in Spain on holidays.

    So many Wok Buffet places, not a sinner in them. Meanwhile an Italian place next door is jammed.

    How do they survive?

    Actually, the British government discussed the idea of resettling over 5 million Chinese in the north in the early 80"s

    Chinese are slowly, silently taking over the world without firing a bullet.

    I was just in UAE last week and it feels like the Chinese outnumber the local Arab population

    I for one welcome our new Chinese overlords :)

    I don't buy it.

    These aren't hole in the wall places down a back alley. I'm talking huge grand places that can seat 100 people, must cost a fair whack to keep them running. Empty at 8pm when other places are out the door.

    They probably wash more money than plates.

    My local Chinese doesn't even have a POS. Further driving easy to hide cash through the business. Layering I think they call that bit (hiding illicit funds amongst legal earnings).

    They just do good service. And a lot of business. They are very hard working. 7 days a week etc.
