Q: Does China have a "let them eat cake" mentality to it's own problems?

Or is it more of a sleight of hand and shift the blame?

Do you mean that e.g. the air pollution is dealt with by buying off the population with shiny new stuff that will soon enough fade ?

The Chinese are pass masters at shifting the blame. It is always someones else's doing no matter what the problem is that arises. They can even dream up imaginative ways to blame others for natural disasters. No problem is ever of their own making. And I mean never!

Excellent comments Kai! OMG..what an understatement!!!! The Chinese like the South Koreans will point the finger at anyone over anything!! I've read countless examples of this as well as speaking from personal experience. :( They are PROFESSIONALS at shifting the blame. ** They have an EXCUSE for EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!

China's motto: "Order in disorder."  Everything looks and is chaotic, but it works itself out in the end.

mattsm84:

If by "works itself out" you mean "enjoys short periods of prosperity between long periods of decline and decay", then I agree. At this rate China's problems will have "worked themselves out" some time in the next few years.

A:I'll give my two cents on the age part. It's not as easy but can definitely be done. I was 21, fresh out of university and landed my first teaching job in china as a homeroom kindergarten teacher on a pretty standard 20,000/month salary. I'm 1 year in now and am still happy. Pretty much all international kindergarten jobs on here want 2 years experience, but many will still accept if you have experience in your home country. With that being said, being white and having a nice looking face is much more of a decision factor in china vs the west, if you can- use it to your advantage. Good luck finding something! -- brinsleym
