Maybe 80% of teaching contracts in China are along the lines of the standard state contract that is issued by educational establishments to their FT's,in fact a very fair contract to both parties.But if a contract offered by a particular potential employer differs greatly from the standard one in its terms and conditions by reducing the budding FT's rights,so making it easier for him (or her) to be fired,and/or removes the right of arbitration,that is an unfair one.Thankfully,most louwai teaching in China have not been offered that kind of unfair contract to sign in the first place.That's why I said,referring only to China,of course,that most louwai are more than happy with the contract they're offered.
