Has it been appreciated in any sense of the word? Most decidedly no. Foreigners are regarded as a lot of fools to be sponged on and kicked fat the same time, Just think of the many injustices which have been done to them, even during the past five years, and the Chinese having been allowed to "get by" with them, tare becoming worse and worse every day.
