I think if I were traveling in a foreign country on business, bad local imitations of my native cuisine would not be what I'd want for lunch: I would want excellent examples of the local foods.

So there is leftover Chinese food in the staff kitchen since we have a group here from a Chinese company. It's not "bad Chinese", it's reasonably decent American neighborhood Chinese food - but I am not from China.

Then again, I do remember being in Paris with other American high school students, who were desperate for McDonald's.

well, Mcd's is the same everywhere, so you canat least assume they wanted something familiar. id think the chinese food would be offensive...
