When I first worked in China, I was full of uncertainties, because I got the information from newspapers in some western country, which distorted me a lot.
In 2009, some ESL agent introduced me to xiangtan university, I found the university are quite beautiful and people are friendly to me and all other foreigners, including foreign teachers and students. There is no discrimations and everybody is equal.
What is the most importan is that the university offer us more freedom and liberty, which regulated in the work contract, almost everything were based on contract.
So, from my experience, I think that working in xiangtan university is a better choice.
