They are very conscious about cooking oil in China that they recycle them.

The rice too. I knew I didn't order mud carp with my eggplant...meh, I'd much rather eat most of the stuff over there than the sweet neon stuff in the states.

I actually find authentic chinese foods much LESS greasy than in the US, however I have done a lot more northern china, I really like it a lot better. Yes the sweet crazy stuff in the US is just horrible. In the north they use almost exclusively sunflower oil which is just amazingly light and drains well.

I was referring to the people who scope out used oil from grease traps outside restaurants and then resell it in PRC.
