Someone from Korea (S. Korea of course) told me this story that he read in a South Korean newspaper. When Lehman was trying desperately to sell themselves in order to get more funding in 2008, one place they tried it was in S Korea. Lehman&

I don't see any issue with NZ putting up that block to keep out Chinese 'investors', considering the roadblocks foreigners have to face to do business in China. Seems fair to me.

I'm sure you and few others experienced it. But I'd say it's not that common. Just look at the make up of study body at the top 5 schools.
