You have a some great points and clearly have been in China long enough to have adapted. You've added clarity to the reality of teaching here, and what to expect.

I however, have to wholeheartedly disagree with your dishonesty is everywhere comment. Dishonesty, lies, and misleading people in China are at astronomical levels and ingrained in nearly every facet of Chinese society, and the business practices here are criminal, period. We all know this. My students know this, and complain about it without provocation routinely. Saying otherwise would be dishonest in itself;)
