A bit irresponsible on your end if I may say so myself. Even if people come to China on L's and get them converted to F's it doesn't necessarily mean the playing field is even for everyone. Depending on how you look and your age you may or may not be subjugated to the whims of the local powers that be. Better to take the more conservative approach.

Hello Dragonised, thank you for answering my post. You say that it is better for Ren Poster to take the more conservative approach; however, seeing as Ren poster doesn't have a degree, the only conservative(sensible) approach open to him would be to simply not come to China and teach at all. When I answered him, I did because I realised he may well get a deluge of replies warning him not to enter on an L visa, but I feel that I owed it to him to point out that many FT's have and do come clutching L Visa; and that furthermore it does not end badly in most cases; at the same time indicating that it wasn't entirely risk-free. Now, we don't know Ren Poster's circumstances, he may be broke and jobless for all we know; he may well have precious little to conserve-It is up to him to know if that is the case- if it is the case, I think he should go for it, and if things do go awry it shouldn't be life threatening...now, am I right or am I right?
