I can't believe after 15 years in China, THIS is still the go to excuse for the lack of supervision and corporate ethics here. Sure its hard to help 400 million poor people when all the country's enormous wealth is so centralized. That's just common greed and selfishness. Full Comment>>

I didn't say you are a douche for liking to ride bikes. I've owned several myself, and they're great fun. Until one day I realized I'm mortal and I made a decision to be more careful. I called you a douche because you are mocking those of us who do choose to be careful around motorcycles. That style of peer pressure ... Full Comment>>

...sigh... The thread is about English teaching. I ascertained that a Russian citizen cannot be a legal English teacher in China, and neither can you. These are laws of the PRC and aren't a secret, nor anything to do with me. I could care less who does what here. But in the context of the article, the parents were ... Full Comment>>

No, it's piao piao piao... Full Comment>>

It's not about balls; its about risk. Obviously you scoff at the law and enjoy it, but that doesn't make you tough. It just makes you a douche for mocking those of us who've already learned to be careful. Full Comment>>

Perhaps when you stop using diversion as debate I can give a (respectful) sh*t about what you have to say :) Pointing out what other arbitrary (you seem fixated on America?) countries do or do not do doesn't make me forget what the topic is, or what country we live in. I'm not sure how old you are, but this changing ... Full Comment>>

Perhaps he would have done much better by reading a couple of books about relationships. That would be an investment in his future he could rely on. Full Comment>>

Haha, interesting comparison :) Full Comment>>

Seems you have a rather large sense of entitlement, and a whole lotta troll in you too. Your racist, prejudiced and mean comments are a common thread in the Echina forums. If you live in China, you should know 2 things: 1. Some Chinese don't like black people and aren't afraid or embarrassed to admit it. This woman ... Full Comment>>

Poor Guy. What a horrible woman. As soon as she valued money over him he should have left. Full Comment>>

So...if a Chinese girl complains about America it is education, but if a foreigner here complains about China you take it as an insult. Seems like creating hate keeps you very busy. I think only a bad person would try to make people angry, instead of preaching peace and forgiveness towards our brothers and sisters ... Full Comment>>

"in our play hang a man" You mean they act out a drama about murder, as this implies, or they "play hangman," which is a letter game? Honestly I don't understand what your point is; you seem to say American teachers suck, so its Ok to hire illegal non-natives to teach English because they're not ... Full Comment>>

Lol, yes I must have been on a roll that night; quite funny I was. Sorry if I pushed it too far. But you did call me and my friends sex fiends and drunks. so that led me to segue into what a drunken sexual predator might say. You know, cuz you called me one, even though I've never hurt you nor met you. Do you get ... Full Comment>>

I know quite a few Russian and Nordic teachers; and mostly they're great people. English isn't too bad, etc... But that's not the point. The point is the school out and out lied, and then threatened a mother to save face. Bottom line: can't get a legal Foreign Expert's Certificate unless you're from a native English ...

Good point. Teaching is much better when no silly books are involved. Each teacher should figure out how to teach every word, grammar point and sentence structure of the entire English language by themselves before each class. That's called sarcasm. Of course you need books to teach a language! And perhaps if you ... Full Comment>>

Obviously you're not a teacher, yet your expertise on teachers is amazing. Well done I say. What with you having an opinion yet knowing nothing. Here here! Requiring those big-fivers to learn Chinese for several years before suffering it out in China will help a lot. Local parents won't mind spending double for a ... Full Comment>>

Old, old news . Anyone with any experience at all has seen the most incredibly horrible business practices repeated over and over for years . Schools hire the cheapest teachers, treat them poorly, and then brand them as incompetent. This writer is obviously just keeping the anti-foreigner rhetoric alive while ... Full Comment>>

Exactly . New schools can't legally hire a foreigner for AT LEAST a year. So what does the government think they're going to do for that first year? Full Comment>>
