Short answer. Don't do it..
Read the suggested text. It's a google book and occasionally goes off on a rant but it's true. I was there for some of them. If you still don't believe it's real, apply and go through the trips to China for the medical and ATpl written/sim rides. At the least you will get a basic appreciation of how dicked up and backward everything is. You may even be rejected. It will cost you to do it but at least you will know. Do not use VOR holdings. You will never get your health back 100%. Food water and air pollution and various exotic virus's will take their toll. It's hard to get the money out of China.
