Job creation works in the most pernicious way here - yesterday in the restaurant each dish passed through at least four sets of hands from the kitchen to our table (not even to mention the chefs), and there are two separate waiters to attend to drinks. For each table. Conclusion: the Chinese diaspora wasn't an exodus in search of opportunity: it was the cup brimming over, and over, and over.
