Most regular posters came to China many years back and watched it go downhill over time.

Some of us now only ever visit China for the odd business trip or to see friends. That doesn't stop us from actually giving a shit about the welfare of other foreign teachers and ensuring that they don't have to suffer at the hands of unethical Chinese bosses, like we all have at least once.

Also, if another country overtakes China in terms of popularity in the ESL sector and often shows examples of the same kind of behaviour, we'll happily criticise them too.

The values of nice, developed, Western countries reign supreme on this board. China is not even close to being self-dependent in ESL yet, despite claims coming from the propaganda pushing bureaus.

Find peace. Post on another board.
