Loopholes like the one in the Carrbean have largley been closed. Most countries have laws about copyright and cyber squatting. China is one of the few that doesn't.

If I start a thread about a zit on my nose, will that get subverted to a discussion on the evils of Monsanto too?

One to watch out for. University pay should be fixed in Beijing, but watch out for hour creep. Anything over 15-16 you should get overtime.

Although KUST has a good reputation academically, beware of KUST attached colleges.

I worked at one, they say they only offer hourly pay, no flights/visa etc. So technically you are illegal, even if you have visa to work elsewhere. They then proceeded to break a lot of the verbal agreements I had made, simply stating 'not in contract'.

I interviewed at another KUST college for a post, they wanted a DOS but were only paying teacher rates of pay, and very low rates (much less than 100/hr). They suggested I supplement the income by teaching 30/hr per week. Also they would not pay for any admin I did (as DOS) only teaching time.
Any management that would let someone try to teach 30hrs/wk is not good. Yes you could do it, I am sure that there are teachers who would, but quality would suffer. As would the sanity of the teacher.

If Alex Jones was on the money - they woulda, coulda whacked him by now.

Hollywood always rewrites history, and current events. Big danger is kids get out the video to base homework assignments. One days some of these kids will stand for office. Some already have, but don't worry we'll 'smoke 'em out' Yee haw!
