China, for instance, is all about control of people that are unable to change much and about test driven educational system which directly and indirectly corrupts young learners of English. Many, if not most, FTs aren’t supposed to interfere in the educational process of English and they only are motivating and marketing tools here. Suggesting that FTs use the local language as a help in the students’ learning process is hugely counterproductive and preposterous. English speaking nations have enough people that cannot communicate in the language well enough and China has enough of its own English language teachers and students that can only recite what they have learnt. Let’s not cater to those.

You wrote that very beautifully with lots of great points but I think that what you really mean is:

"Let's just leave things as they are, say 'This is China,' so we can be lazy, not put in any additional work or allow any Chinese people to actually expect us to improve things."

No wonder China attracts some pretty shitty foreign 'experts'. Foreign experts that are supposed to help the country advance further, but in reality, those 'experts' just love China so much because they know that they can always do a lazy, shoddy job and get away with it.

There's cultural understanding and acceptance; but then there's just using it as an excuse.
