You are showing a willingness to accept the reality of what happens in china. While offering limited options for some people it has become the best landing spot for them. The fact that some posters are married to local women would solidify their determination to live in china for perhaps the rest of their lives. But for younger folks who still have a chance at getting a better paying job they can use China as something to tide themselves over while they work on getting something better in the short term.

You've been around places, I am sure you don't mind the grind of some things so as long as it doesn't drag out for too long. I know your Chinese ability is decent and that is a plus for you and any of us who decide to work there. Not knowing about anything that goes on anywhere in a strange country can be a stressful experience indeed.
