American ML here, moved to china a few years ago, been doing the privileged ESL job thing. currently working at a gov uni for like 1700$ a month teaching 16 hours weekly while i study chinese and try to get out of english teaching with hopes to start a family and raise some red diaper kids, but im plagued by a sense of guilt. Is leaving the US behind the cowards way out? Am I abandoning the a righteous cause or a sinking ship?

Jannies can delete the duplicate /labor/ thread

Feel free to ask whatever other chinese labor questions you got too

I'm still trapped in this shithole, I am too old to start a new life anywhere, and I say good on you if you like it there. I don't know if China is that exciting to me from a political perspective because I'd always be an outsider no matter how well I learned or tried to assimilate.

So have you met any other MLs there or studied communists?

white monkey jobs pay 1700$ now? crazy.

I have a STEM Bachelor's, the economy is down the toilet and my gf of three years just left me. I am seriously considering applying for an English-speaking Master's program there. Apparently even top-tier Chinese universities have laughable entry requirements for foreigners, or at least Westerners, for these programs.

This is a 16 hour a week oral teaching gig for a public uni, its the lowest effort and lowest paying type of job. Common for profit teaching jobs go up to 4000-5000$ a month, but those are high effort kindergartens or rare international schools in BJ, SZ, SH, ETC

common white monkey makes over 3000$ still. Illegal russians and africans do too

Damn, that's crazy. So how was the process of moving there and getting the job?

yeah lots of em, some jaded maoists, ACP crypto bros, oldhead wobbly->stalinist types eager to jump into a russian verse and tell me how they used to live with Utah Phillips, a real hodgepodge

some people are playing it up for the chinese social media, but a lot of em are playing it down cuz red doesnt sell here and its generally bad for most careers.


even got into a scandal with a previous gov uni job cuz my (loved by everyone) 60s green mil/redguard halloween outfit went viral on local social media and my students doxd me for clout, which the school were afraid would bring bad PRA

you meet someone on a sketchy chinese job site and they forge documents for you

if you have a bachelors degree, you do the same thing but they just embellish the documents instead of completely forging them

Sign a contract, get a visa, fly in, get a permit to stay, work until contract over, then get a new contract or renew, repeat visa renewal from HK or in the mainland

gov scholarships end at 25yr but tuition is rarely over 1-3$ per year, lots of private scholarships too. most public unis have non western foreign student programs, it wouldnt be hard to find something
