No it's not.
No, they hire someone who can speak Chinese and understand Chinese to negotiate deals, so in the even of something dirty required, like bribing a Chinese official (which happens often), they can come off with their hands clean.

There is an US law: Anti Corrupt Practice Act which essentially say that an American company can be prosecuted using US law even when it is operating in a foreign countries. So, since bribing is illegal in USA, American companies cannot legally bribe anyone even in foreign countries. Ditto for racial and age discrimination.
1) American companies
In general, performance is the goal. more flexible on working hours and so on. But, there is NO loyalty between the companies and the employees. If the company has a bad quarter, you may be layoffed. Ditto if the company has a change of strategy.
2) Chinese companies from China.
You have to understand something very simple here. Cost of labor is very low in China and there are plenty of good qualified people in China. So, Chinese from mainland China think that workers are disposable and they are right coming from China. There are substantial fraud in China. So, the company most likely has very strong and strict financial control. In most cases, it is centralized control with most decision come from China.
What kind of company do you consider Solectron to be?? It was founded by Taiwanese and Malaysian in USA. It is registerred as USA company but the founders are Chinese from Taiwan and Malaysia.
