Rick,

Please don't rush to conclusions that salaries in China are: Scary....low
J.D. sounds like a good man. Probably he sent most of his salary during contract to his family in Canada. I hope other teachers interested in China don't take this case as benchmark. Shame on school for hiring a Bulgarian (with lower level of English I assume) and try to sell a Canadian.
