I have a Job in China
Ooh. Well done and very brave! China is one of the two future superpowers which will do well. India is the orher. Why? Because of the way they look after their primary and secondary industries. One can ALWAYS tell a future leading country through this. The West are actually setting themselves up to fail by how they treat they idustries. It is only a matter of time before they collapse.
Even if China financially collapses it has the structures in place to spring back onto its feet unline the UK or USA which has lost its industrial structure (Especially the UK). In the modern world, if you are not making things to sell elsewhere you are on a downwzrd spiral of collapsing into a third world economy and it only takes a few decades to do so.
So of all the countries in the world, India and China are the only ones who have made the effort to deal with this. The rest are doing the opposite and wonder why their economies are going down hill!

Cool.
I actually am considering work in China, but I haven't had the opportunity so far... I'm also only beginning to learn Chinese.
I have a few questions, actually:
- What about language? How hard is it to work in China if you don't speak Chinese (yet)?
- What is the salary level compared to the US/Western Europe?
- How are living expenditures (Housing, food, transportation etc.)?
- How bad is pollution (especially air quality)? I heard that this could be quite severe in some cities.
Good luck, but I wouldn't go there myself.
kh*na is cracking down on foreigners. EEP!
Australian reporters had to flee before they were arrested, simply because they were foreign journalists.
They got plenty of people who speak English at my job but for the most part outside of work most people here don't speak English.
And, they use wechat for everything from social media to paying for things. For the most part they don't accept credit/debit cards.
depends
Cheap but I must warn you a lot of the bathrooms/restrooms are squat toilets. Not the toilets you're used to which are called western toilets.
The pollution is horrible in Beijing. Chongqing, where I'm at, is better.
