If you think about going to China I suggest you consider it as a longer view not a short term gig to get hours on type,
For one your licence belongs to the operator so you cant change companies within China unless they release your licence or two years.
Also Chinese can,t or and don’t leave their employers so there is no facility for stamping log books and its unlikely or they may not provide you with a verification of hours letter.
If you are after hours on a new type eg 787,,takes maybe two years say from today if you got screened to get 500 hrs…what ya say..
By the time you get invited for a screening, go back a second time for any retest,(ATPL,medical or sim)wait your invitation letter and Z visa ,
Go again for your Caac check, then ground school, brain MRI,base training, observation flights ,line training ,then logging half the time long haul as PIC its 2 years untill you have 500 hours PIC if you screen this month.
The good news is China will need pilots forever if you can hang around and you can meet the challenges.
Depends where you want to go later, ELAC points may well prove right,
Try going to EK or KAL etc eg without all the documents…and stamps and P2 time...
