Q. What are the circulations of Chinese newspapers? What are the audience numbers of Chinese TV stations? How many listeners are at Chinese Radio Stations?
Asked by Debra P - Sat Jul 26 15:06:57 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Well, I don't know any exact numbers, but I recently went to Zhejiang, a very small province in eastern China, and the province had SEVEN television stations of its own. The population is huge, so the audiences are huge.

What should a vegetarian order at a Chinese restaurant?
Q. I'm a vegetarian and I'm going to a Chinese restaurant tonight with some friends. It seems like most Chinese dishes have some sort of meat in them. Can any other vegetarians recommend something to eat at a Chinese restaurant?
Asked by Greta - Sat Mar 29 18:03:05 2008 - - 29 Answers - 0 Comments

A. More often than not, Chinese menus have a vegetarian or vegetables section..so fear not!! I would opt for a vegetable dish (something like mushrooms and bamboo shoots, celery and cashews, mixed vegetables, aubergine in black bean sauce), some fried rice or plain noodles and maybe some deep fried seaweed or spring rolls. If you see something you fancy that has meat included on the dish, then ask the waiter/waitress if they can exclude that item from the dish..it shouldn't be a problem. Have a lovely meal!! xox

How can Chinese places afford to give you so much food for such a cheap price?
Q. My husband and I can share a chinese meal and still have leftovers and it only costs $7. How can they afford to do this? They seriously give you like 25 pieces of chicken and a pound of rice and an egg roll. It's so much food!

A. Because place like pizza-pizza, mcdonald,kfc,etc, they overcharge you a lot. for chinese place, they sell food at lower prices since they only sell it at a price a little bit higher than the actual cost. plus, their ingredients are not really expensive and they tend to import the relatively cheap ones. the labour cost is not so high either compare to western restaurant. usually Chinese people work in Chinese restaurant. most of them are immigrants or students who desperately need a job and will settle for minimum wages. plus, they have to sell it cheap. they are running business in western country!!if they sell it expensive, people will not want to go there and eat! it is considered exotic food, not every western people can get used to… [cont.]
