So according to all of your narrations of posts, you are living in China now on the private tutoring, collecting the trashes, and the online earnings, as a native American?
After I said
I am from Europe, never been to USA, living in China since 2004.
I am a "native American"?
Focus, my friend!
If I was a native English speaker, the 2017 law that forbids/limits the non-native English speakers to teach English in China couldn't affect me! The US citizens in China are still okay and can find jobs easily.
Also, there is this attitude in China -- many Chinese do hate USA but at the same time do admire the USA. Something very ambivalent! There are also those Chinese who're treating you well until they think you're from the USA. Once they understand you're not from the US but from a small, poor European country, they're losing interest. It sounds terrible that China welcomes the foreigners like this, and I don't even know that.
During the Hu Jintao's period China was very, very friendly and international. Later, China became more xenophobic and now for the foreigners (especially the poor ones and the non-native English speakers) the situation is not easy.
I am feeling sorry for you and since you are a foreginer you should make livings in taiwan hk or other asian countries, instead of China.
I chose China because I am a socialist and I hoped here I can live a real socialistic life (like the one I lived in Bulgaria till 1989) but later I saw that I am wrong -- here the situation becomes more feudal.
China is screwing many people up psychiatrically by its alienately horrendous involutions, clearly and unflexibly differentiated social-economic stratums, desperates concerning the prospectives of life, and joblessnesses, etc.. So in all senses China is now a tremendous cesspool and you should seek for better lives by moving to other countries. Again, very sorry for what you are experiencing in China now, ad infinito!
Well, it's still okay for the rich Chinese and the rich foreigners. But, I do agree, that there is regress recently due to the emperorization.
I still don't get why you think China is good, except its safety.
I like Chinese culture and concretely the Chinese food, Chinese music, Chinese martial arts and I like the looks of the Chinese people (I am not a racist but to me the average yellow woman looks prettier than the average white woman or average black woman)... And as I said, I believe that China will build the socialism with Chinese characteristics but I was wrong.
You shoulda migrated into the Nordic.
There I could be a dish washer or cleaner.
These rich, tall, white Europeans (Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland,...) don't feel people like me from South-East Europe are very precious; many of them think of us as poor, "black", second-hand people. In China -- most of the Chinese will see me as a real white man and here I was at least a teacher. Do you understand the different level?
Also, I don't understand their languages but I do speak Chinese well; I don't like the cold, dark (long nights), depressing (high rate of suicides) north European nature... and I even don't think that most of the people are pretty/handsome there. So, why I have to go to a place where I like nothing and where nobody will like me?
Everyone shoud choose wisely where to live and where he/she looks better, being treated better, can find better job and feels better. 北欧就不适合我,对我来说最好的是东亚,东南亚。这边我又高,又人家会喜欢我,又不会有人说我的国籍是差的(当然他们更爱美国人,可是还没有北欧的和西欧的歧视),又(以前)会当外语老师。还有,我原来是社会主义的,中国粉丝的人。所以选了这边,可是最近越来越皇帝化了,封建化了,所以如果到三月份还是老样子的,就要润。
