I did a lot of interviewing and speaking with recruiters last year. I imagine that 2020 is significantly different than 2019, so take this comment with a grain of salt. In my personal experience, recruiters that asked this did not have a se

At least the Chinese Communist Party has the decency to make policy that has the effect of banning foreign businesses from operating and kangaroo courts to keep up the charade. I think this is going to be tossed out in court. The President
