Yes, I agree that "essentially" (or "basically") Chinese people are kind besides all the corruption, unfounded snobbism of the new rich and the rich-poor gap you have mentioned.

Those Chinese people you are mentioning to be kind are the "real" people - no recruiters for schools or corrupt and criminal bosses of crappy training centres. These are the kind of Chinese people that most foreign teachers in China have problems with and are really angry about.
