Re pay raise
Words of praise for your good work may be fine, but there is nothing you can buy for them! Some more bucks in the pocket, then, is much better, and a pay rise plus some nice words of praise for your good and honest work is the best you could expect.
The latter is probably the only reason for you to stay on and to make your work meaningful and rewarding - for you and for them!
I would not ask for an increase lower than that; also Chinese unis must learn to value the hard and good work of their foreign teachers; and the best reward would always be pay rise along those lines.
Good luck!
Yes, Turnoi, the old adage is 'praise is nice but it will not butter any turnips'
There's a lot in what you say but you know as well as I that these leaders can be stubborn mules, even when it makes no sense they can dig their heels in. He should be prepared for this and do his sums before moving on, if indeed money is his biggest consideration. I myself throw my weight around something chronic but I can afford to do so.
