The upper echelons of Chinese society like fine European dining this accounts for probably 2% of the whole population. The rising middle class will like to show friends and family how cultured they are but really know nothing about dining. The rest will eat rice and veg.

Scandinavian:

I think 2% is high. And also if you say "European cuisine" then it probably isn't everything from Knödle to Becherovka that tickles their taste buds in the right way.

Most Chinese people who've tried European food in China, have not really tried European food. Just like many Europeans don't actually try Chinese when they go to they local 'eat all you can' deepfried buffet place with a tiger outside the door. 

Further. The way the majority of Chinese travel, they get to try restaurants that are catering specifically to them.

In Dongguan there are many foreign restaurants that initially catered to the foreign market but now they are frequented just as much if not more by Chinese patrons.

If it's not Chinese they don't like it.  Except pizza!  Young people seem to love pizza and terrible fast food - never underestimate the power of advertising.

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa
A:No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa/RP sponsor can have an objections to your part-time job. I did the same at my English teaching in China and elsewhere, butT ... I casually mentioned at my prime job, some kindergarten or another school asked me to work with them part-time. Then, my Q: "Is that permitted?" ...  Answer from RP sponsor was always "Yes, but you can't be late or miss the classes at our school ..." with my reply: "No, our work schedule has a priority, and I'll arrange classes at kindergarten only in my free time." When I cleared that, I was undertaking any extra teaching hours at other schools and private students in my free time.Sometimes, teachers at my prime job asked me if I'm willing to have some extra classes elsewhere.I accepted after the talk with School's principal. I suggest, you test the felling at your Z/RP sponsor and once you see they don't object, you can work at 2nd job. Keeping your 2nd job as a secret from your employer won't work, 'cause you're laowai and Chinese know exactly what you do in your free time. However, despite your employer's agreement for extra work, you are still in violation of Chinese Labour law, and even if your sponsor agrees to your extra work, you can still get in trouble, because it's clearly written (somewhere ... ) that under Z/WP, one can work only at the Z-sponsor and nowhere else. Penalties ... I'd say, there won't be any warnings and you'll be required to exit China in short Exit time.It never happened to me, so I can't really advice how is when manure hits the fan ...  -- icnif77
