Thats not a new thing Kizmet. I have lived for over 11 years across China and have seen Foreign Instructors in almost every Chinese university. Especially instructors from USA, UK, New Zealand and Australia are around, young people waisitng their time teaching English and nothing apart. However, if you people teach professional subjects, that would be a good point.
