It's sad to see the bad experience of another. I hope you're not the same "kevin" who was defending york english, also in fuzhou as I feel all your time spent at future english "school" only to see all of it go for naught deserves sympathy as I have been in similiar situations myself.

I don't think there will ever really be "fair" treatment of any foreigners in china so as long as the current system is in place. Government people and all the people working within the communist system get 1st class treatment. Foreigners/expat experts who bring money and assist in the maintenance of the economy receive 2nd class treatment. Regular chinese fold get 3rd class. While certain expats who are not in the right ethnic category get 4th class treatment.

As one acquaintance of mine said to me, "They want our knowledge, but they don't want us here."
