Ignoring all of the other topics in thread, the pay scale is fairly out of whack by many here.

If you are a TEACHER, major city, then your salary should be 15k to 20k per month. Bigger coastal cities will not pay your flat, so that costs depending on where you are.

TC can pay more, privates big city pay more if you can coord the commutes. Unis pay poorly all over China.

If you are a MANAGER, major city, hired in from outside China, foreigner, then 30k per month as the barest minmum.

If you are a DIRECTOR, major city, signature authority (read on, not trivial), foreigner, then 50k to 100k per month as the barest of minimums, plus relocation, nice tower flat, and possibly a driver.

If you are in SHIPPING or SUPPLY CHAIN, major port city, foreigner, then 100k to 250k per month and all max perqs.

Keep in mind you masters of the universe MNC Director and D-level or C-level asian placements, Big 4, Auditors, efc pulling down 100k+ CNY a month; that in the PRC "signature authority" has as of late meant that you go to prison for ten years when the inevitable police investigation occurs and HQ will throw you to the wolves. All of your money will be seized and used to power cutter dredgers, and your family will be lucky to leave. You will be fortunate to survive 10 years in Chinese prison, and no one will know where your physical location is. If you live, you get deported upon sentence completion with a 'never to return' stamp in your passport.
