Not surprisingly, the individuals who are involuntarily denied occupancy in China are now criticizing the country that no longer welcomes non-credentialed foreign teachers.

You should write for the china daily. I bet you believe even somewhere like Beijing is a great place to live, despite breathing air that can cause cancer, and drinking water from your taps with a layer of film on it. But hey, a couple of million rmb is a great deal for an apartment in wu dao kou right? Then you can work like a dog for some racist FAO boss, and all your salary will disappear on some greedy cow of a chinese wife, who perpetually demands the latest iphone, new clothes, trips out of China and so on and so on. But yeap, it's a great life to be a foreign teacher in China earning peanuts with a demanding chinese wife, keep living the Chinese dream, it's clearly so enviable that no Chinese seek to leave China for good (sarcasm), two (one a former student, and the other a former female fao) are now settled in Canada....and Canada or China, well I'll leave it to you decide which is better for longevity and quality of life.
