    I wonder if there's decent money to be made as a handsome white guy saying good things about China on YouTube or whatever platform. I'm sick of my job and want to get the fuck out of this country.

      The days of easy jobs are over. Last year the government closed the entire English training industry. Just like that - closed. You can still get a job teaching, but it will be in a public school and you'll have to have actual experience. If you want to build a Youtube channel about China, you can, but there is a cohort of negative China Youtubers who will hate your guts and harass the shit out of you in every comments section. The best you'll get out of it is some free trips to distant cities who have been given money by the government to promote themselves. Yay, I guess?

      The most successful white guy in China was Dashan, who is the most famous Canadian in the world and spoke Chinese fluently. He became disgusted with China and moved his mixed-race family back home.

        I didn't see anything about him being disgusted by China. Where is that coming from?

        I've never heard of him, what's the story?
