first three paragraphs:

"Yajing Wen is the sort of Chinese worker that foreign companies like to hire. The UK-educated engineer received her master's degree in March and set out to look for a position with the relatively high pay and flexible working hours that many Chinese believe foreign firms offer.

"But in July, she took a job with a Chinese company.

"Ms Wen, 35 years old, cites job security as one reason. 'Normally, Chinese companies won't fire people unless they have big problems,' she said. 'But foreign companies have a limited number of staff in China, so if you're not very useful, they've got some better person to replace you.'
