What to expect from
your earnings ?

Pay in
China varies depending upon your qualifications, experience and
placement. The pay here is unlikely to make you wealthy, but it
is certainly enough for you to live comfortably, travel a lot, and
perhaps save a little too.
It should be remembered
that Chinese salary levels are generally well below
those of foreigners and
this can sometimes cause embarrassment.

things should be taken into consideration when assessing pay scales
here:
-

costs are very low
-
The
government regulates salary levels
-

is often available
-

Airfare
Reimbursement
Airfares are
generally refunded on the six month and one year anniversaries of
your arrival in China, at the rates of half and the balance of your
airfare respectively. Excess baggage and stop-overs are not
included but departure and airport taxes are. All claims must
be supported by valid documentation.
