#2This is an interesting one. Is this related in any way to the "token white guy" types of jobs which are apparently available in China?

No. White monkey jobs are mostly over. Maybe you can find one in some remote tier 88 city, but not in Shenzhen.

#4US-biased headline. This is what US-tech firms have been doing for years, dangling carrots on foreign talent. The same reason why the US VC-lobby has been up in arms on anything and everything work visas related. China is the new USA.

#5Other than the visa-related benefits, what type of monetary benefits do foreigners get for moving to China?

Why is it a US biased article? China has been doing this for years also, just not very well. I still think they aren’t doing very well in this area, especially since they make immigration or at least permanent residence so impossible, but other issues related to child education costs and environment make it difficult to live and work in china long term.

Wikipedia isn’t blocked in china yet as far as I know. Internet censorship is a big deal for foreigners working in China, especially since playing the cat and mouse VPN game is so tiring.

Pay is pretty good (about 70% of Seattle) while living costs are low. I was able to save about 30-40% of my take home over almost 10 years.
