A good looking FT will always get a job in China, regardless of "qualifications". We always need to keep the following phrase in mind: "It is just China". Education in China is nohing but a joke, and teaching in China should never be taken seriously.

Generally speaking, I agree with you. However, there are certain 'schools' in China that we should try to avoid working for. Avoid all training centers, you won't get an easy time there - you'll have to justify your presence by making money for your Chinese/foreign bosses, and have to break sweat to do so. Also avoid all private schools that are run in part or in full by Westerners or by Chinese with Western passports. They're too strretwise re education. It's the same there as in the first category I've mentioned, not so good.
Backwater private schools run by Chinese are a better option, but the public schools/colleges/universities are the best choice by far, especially those in small places.
Though education in China is a joke, Being a foreign teacher in China is great for those of us who prefer doing little work for a reasonable pay provided that we exercise great caution as regards choosing our employers. No point to travel so far from our homelands to teach only to result in being sent packing in disgrace!
