What is Mary Kay doing in China?

China in or around 1998 had banned all multi level marketers a rash of pyramid scams.

According to officials, "The MPS official said pyramid sellers had had a very negative impact on social stability. He said that some organizers had achieved psychological mastery over members, violating the law and basic ethics by repeatedly brainwashing them with distorted facts."

Some consumer groups, like the Pyramid Scheme Alert, argue that the well established mlm companies operating in North America are guilty of this practice.

It would be very hard to read Eric Scheibeler's book on Amway/Quixtar without have some very serious doubts as to whether the Chinese were correct about the "psychological mastery" of the members by the pyramid sellers.

Notwithstanding, WFAA.com |is Reporting the Mary Kay is Open Business in China. Perhaps Pink Truth will have to get a Chinese translation?
