Yes they are REALLY THAT BAD. They are all crap and they don't deserve to be open on ANY ACCOUNTS. You will find that finding a decent job to work at in China is a really big challenge. You would need to get into a top of the line public university in order to actually find a place which is at least semi-decent. I hope you will be able to find a job somewhere else. Try Japan, Thailand, Europe, and if you have certification even Native English speaking countries will hire you (I'm serious about that).

Stay away from any former soviet republics, china, south korea, middle eastern countries, and of course underdeveloped continents such as south america and africa. You'll put yourself at a health risk, physically or mentally (sometimes both).
