TWENTY years ago,Americans were a rare sight in China,especially outside metropolises like Beijing and Shanghai. If somebody happened to meet one,he or she usually proved to be a senior managerial employee,technician or English teacher. They were usually here because they had been dispatched by their home headquarters rather than out of their own wish to discover China,and though they were usually given generous financial compensation,they often lived in the poor conditions of China at that time.
