Its funny the link that is provided does not work. I respect other peoples views and opinions, a I might be wrong about the CFTU but they have not harmed me in any way. It just seems weird that this site that helps people is a non provit organization and they are accused of fraud??? Makes no sense.
As for the salary part where you forgot to add on to your post as I will add it on here, on the same link that you provided – <span style=”background-color: #efefef; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;”>One of my best friends here in China is engaged to marry a vice-principal of a Chinese-owned English school and she admitted to my friend that all the principals cozy up to the agents and recruiters – whether they are licensed or not.</span><span style=”background-color: #efefef; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;”> </span>

So in other words you do know about the high salarys you just dont want to admit to it.
In plain and simple form If you are not man enough to to speak up or fend for yourself then you must get used to taking it up the A%$.
And JerryS would you like to come to my school and ask them just how much they are paying me for an hour teaching English?? Because you are more than welcome to come and see for yourself.
You dont have to pay any fees. @ woodwerd I aint a spammer!! I am teacher from South Africa and nobody is paying me anything to do this, just thought i would help fellow teachers before they get conned into taking a shitty salary.
And its not CTFU its CFTU so i guess you thinking of the wrong people!!!!
Before any of you decide to take up positions with these agents or schools have a look at this web page http://www.chinascambusters.com/ Everything you need to know about agents and teachings jobs in china. Salarys and more. What they offer you is nothing compared to what you should be earning on a minimum wage. http://www.chinaforeignteachersunion.com/2013/06/china-foreign-teachers-suggested-hourly.html Dont let them fool you. All info provided by the china foreign teachers union.
Yeah CFTU, look up the site I provided. These are the salarys that the teachers are suppose to get, but due to scamming and money greedy agents those figures will never be seen. So many Teachers do not know of the CFTU, that`s why they are being conned into accepting low salary packages. The more the Teachers know the better. And yes they pay that much in Chengdu you are just not aware of it! I was on my way to being in the situation of accepting a below average offer when one of my friends warned me about the agents and their doings, luckily I could renegotiate with the help of the CFTU and earn what Im worth.
…because depend if you use the VPN for work or only for freetime
True that!!!

Why don’t you guys just download Web Freer, its just like google chrome, its a browser with a built in proxy. It`s completely free!!!! Facebook, Youtube the works.
Only poblem is that it has these annoying pop ups, but heck its for free.
I also contacted them, they are crazy with their prices, they want 6900 RMB to organize your drivers license but then you still need to write the test, fly to their town etc. etc..
Seems like a scam to me!
Found out in Chengdu its only 250 RMB.
