6198 posts and this guy doesn't conceptualize that the reason to post the US Department of Labor quote was the show that China should follow such a standard. It's unfortunate he doesn't get it; all those posts didn't impart the ability to...

Please do finish your last sentence.

By the way, I'm not a guy.

The ellipsis was meant to convey dismay, disbelief, cynicism, or, in internet emoticon language Rolling Eyes rather than to represent any sort of fear of finishing a sentence. I don't buy the "not a guy" thing either.

The ironic part of all of it is that you are doing the same thing in your reply to me that I meant to imply in my post regarding what you don't get. Implication, inference, assumption, presumption, common sense are all things to have gotten from the post in reference to commenting on U.S. Labor Standards.

My original post (to which you replied) stands.

Also, my original post on someone getting what they deserve stands too.

Anyway, I'm not sure why you brought up the DOL's regs; US legislation on internship programs in the States has no bearing on internships at businesses/organizations elsewhere in the world, including China.

Then why did u bother posting and completing the explanation nomad soul.

I added the other part of the regulation to cite the source where you got the info and show context (along with my personal internship experience in the US as an example). That doesn't change my position that it's unrealistic to apply US labor legislation for internship programs to other countries. But since you initially posted those six DOL criteria items, perhaps you can explain why you mentioned them in the first place. Otherwise, it remains a moot point.

Go back to my posts; it's obvious that my responses were clearly directed to Quite and asiannationmc and not to you. In fact, I barely glanced at your comments.

Anyway, it seems we both agree that those who blindly send money for a job or internship placement in China or wherever end up owning the consequences.

You say you barely glanced at my post and it had nothing to do with me and yet your entire post (above) was a quote of what I wrote and you then asked me to finish the sentence then made a gender comment. I hardly call that glancing or ignoring or not paying attention to anything.

Nonetheless, I was commenting on the other user and you - the user posted US related law and you asked why it was relevant and I was commenting on your lack of inference and "wishful" thinking of China adopting such standards.

2+2 does still equal 4 despite the new methods of teaching math.

nomad soul , as i recall no post has indicated that anyone has applied US labor laws to china or any other country.

Is this of real interest to you? Do you really want to know the reason for posting information that you feel is unnecessary?

Well, the China internship schemes and scams are now officially illegal according to this here

I wonder how the big legitimate companies like Deloitte, Reuters, Intel (that use summer interns) will deal with this?
