These things are not so black and white. For example, I can imagine European/US based 190-commuter captain thinking about this opportunity to make some serious money. Here in Europe you can make 100 grand a year, but after tax and house payments thats nothing. You can live on it, but thats it.
People adjust diffrently to different places on earth. For some China is a nightmare and I am sure for some a good opportunity to make money and retire.
What I would like to hear is the positive things for working there. Anybody? And I dont mean cheap beer
