<content:encoded><![CDATA[This is only theoretical. If one, hypothetically, had one or more colleagues who were supposedly English teachers, but who used their influence and time to try to convert their students to Christianity, help prayer meetings in the foreign teachers' office (making non-Christians feel very uncomfortable), had secret Jesus meetings with students, gave students banned books, and did other such things that violate Chinese law, violate their contracts, and generally mislead and trick naive, open students, what could, or should, one do?]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[the PSB would be the ones to deal with it but you would have to be 100% sure that you wanted to open that can of worms and maybe have some evidence to support the 'claims'. Hypothetically, they might get away with a warning... it might be very difficult to continue working next to colleagues you had previously informed on. Or as Magnifico pointed out, the management may support them or even be complicit. Maybe just talk to a manager? Would it be possible to have a chat with them directly?]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[In time students will talk to you about this as well as other staff who are aware o this going on. Yes, this happens, and like you, I don't think it is right. Let it play out and in time intentions will reveal themselves. Do not let this create animosity between you and other staff, in time the students and staff will realize what is going on and slowly put a stop to it. Good Luck!]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[i could be wrong, but that it's against the law is not a black and white issue. this has been going on for a very long time. even if the contract states no proselytizing, it's often not enforced.

so going to the PSB may not accomplish anything. and if the staff there is supportive of this, then you may need to update your CV soon. or if they find out you're going behind their backs, they can be quite hostile about it and your work environment will become very toxic.

my advice is just avoid them. just be a positive influence on your own students.

or, alternatively .... i worked at a place once with a guy who thought christians were stupid. and he was a loud mouth. he didn't hide the fact that he thought they were stupid and pointed it out every 5 minutes. nothing like hurling insults at people to make friends.]]></content:encoded>

I just (hypothetically) would feel sorry for some of the students, who thought they would be learning English, not being converted. I guess here, it is best to just mind to one's own work, yes?]]></content:encoded>
