do you have evidence, or are you putting 2 and 2 together and making 5?
I don't condone any kind of abuse, but be sure that you have strong evidence before acting or accusing someone.
you say "I know of a teacher ......" meaning are you basing your suspicions on a second hand account or something you have witnessed, or is it 'drunk talk' /...

No, you won't be able to work at other companies other than only at the one which sponsored your Z visa and other permits for it!
You can legally work only at the Z visa sponsor, working anywhere else (even with the consent of your primary employer!) is illegal.

What is 'formal offer letter'?
Only legally accepted employment offer I am aware is a Contract!
... so, you just don't accept and sign contract with the lower salary!
Email exchanges, verbal discussions and other promises between you and employer aren't legally binding, so legal action isn't recommended.
Mainly legal...

All the media that came my way over the last two years or whatever said that the point of the vaccines are to give you a much better chance of not ending up in hospital if and when you get exposed to the virus, and that you will be a lot less contagious to others.
It was clearly explained that:
1. You might have no obvious symptoms, but you could still...

I think there is a mixed bag of reactions. It is not a regional thing as much as it is a cultural thing. If you are in the city, probably nothing or very little will occur. While Xian is a smaller city than many, I am sure they are used to seeing foreigners.
In rural areas, you may be treated as a rock star by the younger generation. Parents of those kids will evaluate you...

A few years ago, Filipno teachers were beginning to find acceptance in training schools. I think there were special requirements for them to legally get to teach in China. I know that many Filipino teachers found their way into training schools in the southern regions of China.
I do not think they get the same salary as a typical foreigner teacher from a western...

No, I wasn't saying Trudeau is a doctor.
I'm forgetting this is a forum read by people with differing levels of English ability - my bad - I know the use of analogies can confuse some people so for those readers who somehow think my point was about Trudeau being a doctor I'll re-phrase it.
1. There's an emergency situation requiring action to deal with...

There was a recent change this past week (so I hear). 7 days hotel quarantine. The 7 days at-home restriction. Covid test within 48 hours of entry. I am not sure how many is required during the quarantines. The quarantine has been eased considerably. Unsure what will happen once cooler weather arrives in the Fall. In China, don't blink, or else policies change.

Let us hope we won't get locked down for that, too or for being on ECC community. DO you imagine getting locked down your whole neighborhood out of being in chat here with someone with monkeypox? Hahahahahahahah, God forbid. Knock on the wood.

As pointed out above, your question is lacking in details but I'd say if your contract has ended and the apartment is supplied by the employer they have every right to tell you to get out. They probably need it for whoever is replacing you.

I thought the education in America was going down the toilet. Apparently the UK education system is worse. A "science" teacher looking to teach "online" does not know how to do a simple search on the computer? The only thing funnier than this question would be if they claimed to teach computer science. What is this world coming to?

The work permit expiring after the contract ends is pretty normal.
Usually, your contract will start the day you arrive but it takes some time for the RP / WP stuff to be processed. The WP won't be backdated, it will start on the day it's approved and processed so if it took 3 weeks for that to happen your 12 month WP will expire 3 weeks after your 12 month contract. If it...
