Something dodge with the Chinese.

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?

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.
