I suppose I write very well compared to the average FT in China. That's not high praise, but on an ESL forum like this, it can be considered a compliment that is relevant.

You and I were surely among the western high-end talent in China during the periods when we taught ESL here. And judging by the ongoing poor English evident in many of the posts in the forum's Resumes Section from practising western FTs in China, we can certainly assume we would still be among the creme de la creme of FTs in China if we were presently teaching ESL anywhere in the country, even in Shanghai.
