Why they fight the older foreigners? Probably because they come to China and get a ridiculous housing allowance for no reason while they have to pay 5 million RMB for a house. Or the fact that they do the same job and the foreigner often makes 5 times a much as the local. I heard something the other day about Beijing University graduates averaging 4,000/month as their pay for their first job. I know I'd be pissed if I graduated Harvard and was working for $750 a month, while some foreigner is making 10k/month doing the same thing....remember, China is all about money. Money makes people mad.
a) yes. Particularily "interns".

b) Stay in China for a bit longer and get the whole picture. I wouldn't want to move and work there, if I only got "basic" (=non-expat accomodation).

c) "The same thing", that's something I'd like to dispute...

Oh, and establishments like Zapatas in Shanghai are pure evil, just avoid them!
