Great read! Thanks for the info! It's very uplifting to see that the whole international teacher's community is getting fed up with how they are being treated.

Not a better example can be given on getting an almost permanent sour taste in your mouth than going somewhere advertised as exotic and friendly, therefore making you feel like you'll be treated as a guest. But then actually going there and realizing you just wasted your time dealing with a group of hostile people who are really good at disguising themselves and will do nothing but waste your time and give you a year long runaround, ignoring your pleas of help and hospitality so you can feel less lost and more at home with a basic sense of comfort.

China does not care about treating people fairly, whether or not that will have future ramifications remains to be seen. But by the looks of things it will not get any better.
