Got to agree with this assessment of ECC articles. If they are not racist about non-Chinese, they are misjudged in tone in other ways. Clearly ECC does not know their audience. Full Comment>>

so another-words, suck it up and accept being treated like sh*t. Even if you are reasonable and give your crap employer the benefit of the doubt, they will still screw you over as much as they can, and then some.

Don't be pressured into behaving in a way that is culturally inappropriate for you. To be forced to do so amounts to cultural bullying. Cultural respect works both ways. As a non=drinker, i was pressured to drink, and had to endure scowls when i point-blank refused (politely). It made for a very uncomfortable meal. ... Full Comment>>

Remember, your Chinese spouse is also marrying into your culture too. Be prepared to establish boundaries, and if your Chinese spouse fails to recognise your cultural norms, you should ...

any 'recruiter' that requires you to sign something on arrival is clearly not to be trusted. On receipt of ANY Chinese document, it should be translated (and questioned) prior to signing. Likewise, never believe someone who says 'trust me' unless they have demonstrated they are trustworthy. The foreigner is a ... Full Comment>>

The salaries currently on offer to foreign workers are abysmally low - there has not been a significant increase since I was working there, and certainly not one that has kept pace with inflation.

I should add that many chinese employers usually find a way to avoid paying you any bonus, citing some flaky breach of contract.
