Sorry, but a lot of what you wrote is garbage. To start with, teaching in China is not a career, never has been either. I agree China can be a life-changing experience, mostly for the worse! Foreign teachers are not valued guests in China, we are treated with contempt and derision. Why do you want to contribute to China's "global prominence" ???? You are not Chinese. A debatable statement anyway. The salaries in China are a disgrace, it is polluted, the weather is shit, it even snowed in Nanning recently. If you think mindless and robotic students are fascinating , then good luck to you! I won't even start on Chinese women, would be here forever!
