You sir, are an idiot.

He's probably not an idiot but he has informed us that he's an Asian American. The idea of having to pay to get a job in China does seem abhorrent to me as a white man, and am tempted to say that you should never do that, but I'm sorry to say that life's decisions are not black&white for all of us. You should try and look for a job in China teaching English as as Asian American, and if you want something fairly acceptable 'and he's told us the position is' any time soon you may well have to pay to get it. We should be a little more sympathetic and try and put ourselves in others' shoes.
