Changchun is considered as capital of auto manufacturing industry in China. I read news that the city employs many auto engineers / experts from other countries (Germany, Japan etc. ) in the manufacturing industry, with many in auto manufacturing industry.

I personally devote a lot of time with the children i teach, because their smile is just priceless. I want to stimulate them so they get out of the "learn by heart, don't develop our creativity" things that Chinese people dig.

When i feel they are stimulated by all the exercise i plan for them and the reaction is good, it stimulates me, so I become happy.

How old are you George? My students seem to be around the same age as you are Wink

skater, you must be Chinese, thinking Changdun is the capital of auto manufacturing factory! You gave me a good laugh and I thank you for it.

On a serious note, though, you are totally wrong.

But I agree with you for the manufacturing part, because Chinese labor is utterly cheap and there is no Unions, mostly because Chinese people don't realize they're being exploited by the West.

Tommas, yes I should have made it clearer that the statement Changchun is considered as the capital of auto manufacturing industry in my previous post refers to China only. Changchun's share in the Chinese auto industry is reduced as some other auto manufacturers in Shanghai, Guangzhou and Wuhan have increased greatly their auto production in recent years through the alliance and joint ventures with other auto manufacturers in the world.

there is a great deal of foreign teachers here, but expats, am not really sure; also a large number of exchange and foreign students... the only thing in changchun that most people do is visit around, visit parks, clubbing etc...

A:Yes, you can get legal ET job by the Chinese Labor law.  Problem is, most Chinese managers and recruiters don't know, they can obtain Working permit for a non-native English teacher with BA completed in a native English country. I'd suggest, you mention possibility of legal employment for non-native English teacher with degree completed in a native English country at the first interview. It's a tough time in China at your example, IMO.  Most recruiters and hiring managers in China know only "ET must hold a native English passport ..", so your job application get dismissed right there. The other thing is, never stop sending your CV to the job offers doesn't matter if no replies. At my time in China (pre-2017), I'd send CVs to every offer posted daily.I've even disregarded advert's requirement 'native English passport holder', and ... I got a reply or two in a month time. Take the last paragraph as a rule! Good luck!   -- icnif77
