As an old poster going by the name of "Foxy" said not too long ago on one of his posts, in China there is no such thing as a "good working experience". There is only "intolerable crap", and "tolerable crap". I think this is quality advice that borders on sagehood for anyone looking to come to china.

There is no gratefulness towards the expats anymore. I think the idealists, creative types, travelers, and folks who just like to explore need to take any of the supposed positive working experiences in China with a big pinch of salt(this is in any industry or job in China) and realize that they will never be accepted or even welcomed. In China, from one of my working experiences, the janitor/cleaning person at whatever place you work at has more leverage than you and can get even get away with abusing the dignity of expat teachers.
