I know you weren't trying to look racist; I understand the difficulties you're encountering having done business with such people before. But you make them do it, or you get someone else to do it.

Dear SirBruce:
As often said in this thread, MY Mandarin is not even to the point of where you could laugh at it. IF anyone would be held to ridicule for language it is me.
I was trying to illustrate that language has to be in what is commonly known as "small English". This is an Asian term and not mine. It means that most conversation use smaller, simpler English words and that there is then a problem in trying to get the point across sufficiently. Dumb Asians?? Hell... the average Asian mind works a lot faster and better than mine. It is me who runs to keep up.
Also, firing people is cold and heartless. The factory has had to make some changes... but they try to keep people working in other areas where their talents are better suited and are needed. They do what they are told... and they get good results... but you leave management to the factory. They are there and we are not. You will find that Americans often assume they know better. We know we do not. It is a partnership and not old "the ugly American" philosophy.
