It seems that some people like the chinese experiment.... but beware being a sim instructor is not the same as a line captain. There is no career progression to sim instructors for grounded foreign pilots... you get just three months at 100$ a day. Thats it after that nothing. There are no foreign pilot sim instructors that i have known in CSA. Also the medical would count when you apply for your renewal in another country. You need to declare if you lose your medical in ANY country. There is no guarantee that you will get a proper job after leaving China... unless you are from Oz and are on furlough from Qantas or have an assured job later. Insurances don't pay anything against loss of chinese medical. One of my colleagues had this problem and the insurance refused to pay.
