...dining daily in the square can be prohibitively expensive. Diego Rentería ’11 was surprised that the dining halls close for Spring Break, yet stay open for intercession. “It’s unreasonable to close the dining halls for a whole week mid-semester. Students on strict budgets like me stay because they cannot afford to travel somewhere.

Beijing began reforms in the mid-1990s, encouraging the hodgepodge of small operators to consolidate and allowing foreign companies to form joint ventures so that Chinese companies could learn modern management practices, financial controls, and environmental and safety standards.
