Working in China
I must confess that I find it very strange the amount of negativity posted about this thread. Yes, getting to China as an operating captain is difficult. The medical is really tough. The simulator evaluation is insane and paperwork trail is endless. But once there, you have a really well paid, nice job. From what I have seen, the Chinese are light years away from providing there own pilots, so job security for at least the next ten years is not an issue either. Anyone who is considering China, throw your hat in the ring and give it a go. I recommend it to anyone who has a sense of adventure and a flexible mindset.
