The problem is that this will not dissuade Yuncheng recruiters from misrepresenting both
these requirements and the new strict process to prospective foreign teachers who will
subsequently arrive in China and be unable to acquire a residency permit.

You are correct, Sir.

One of the many gambits run is that the teacher is offered a job, contract is not offered to sign before one flies to China. The invite letter is sourced in another province outside of Shanxi so that the FT does not know where they are going.

As Katz wrote:

they lied at every opportunity, brought us here under false pretenses (firstly we were working in Shanghai, then Shenzhen then Yuncheng and then we were outposted to random outback places [[Ed. very small towns of 40,000 people]]).

The recruiters do not want people to know where their final destination will be.

In addition, yet another gambit is still, in 2015 with very strict rules being followed to the letter, to then take that new FT on the Beijing or Shanghai invitation letter, and first give them an 'F" or 'M' visa, not a 'Z'.

Do not fly to China if the visa you get is NOT a Z-visa. Your employer is a scam if they ask you to do this in 2015, and since the crackdown on corruption began last year you will be in violation of several laws punishable by jail time, fines, deportation, and banning.

The teacher is responsible for paying the fines and being in compliance.

Yuncheng English Village and all other Yuncheng recruiters, but NOT direct hire schools, will not help you, pay for this, or anything of the sort. You will pay the fines of many wan (10,000 unit of currency).

Once you arrive on that illegal 'F' visa, you will then have to make a visa run to Qingdao and/or Hong Kong to 'reset' the visa process - but this is illegal, and sometimes does not work, and more than 3 teachers were sent to Hong Kong at their own expense with the wrong papers and had to wait a week on their tod in Hong Kong at their expense for the Yuncheng Recruiter to fix the mess.

Of course, Yuncheng English Village did not offer nor provide any recompense.

You may never get your residence sticker in your passport if your passport sits at the PSB for 5+ months, or you may never be offered a contract to sign at all.

Yuncheng English Village also will not sign the contract in your presence, thus there will never be a legal agreement and you are technically never hired as Party B won't sign.

Yuncheng adverts this very week, August 1st, 2015, still state that a 3/4 yr degree is NOT an absolute requirement, that the FT will arrive on an F or M visa, and that you will be paid 5000 to 6000 rmb/month - 2008 pay scale levels.

Teach elsewhere, Yuncheng is for those who have no qualifications (no longer an option in China, 3/4 yr degree a must now) or wish to break the law.

The strongest possible negative appraisal. Avoid at all costs.

Stay as far away from Yuncheng and Shanxi as possible - unless you want The Genuine China Experience with all of the negative aspects that entails.
