If you actually live in a decent civilised city in China and I don’t even mean a Westernised one, you can quickly realise that the average FT’s salary is usually not that great. Many Chinese people are capable of getting very well paid jobs and have access to guanxi networks that foreigners will never get to encounter, no matter how wealthy they are or how good they speak Chinese. You are obviously another Chinese GW playing the poor Chinese/rich foreigner card. Or worse yet, one of those student backpacker GWs who has a very romanticised view of things. If you to feel sorry for poor people and do charity work, bugger off and join the Red Cross, your half-arsed teaching skills will do nothing except make scam merchants rich.
