I can't guarantee my post will satisfy your thirst, but here is:
You can purchase a GUIDE TO EMPLOYMENT OF FOREIGN EXPERTS IN THE FIELDS OF CULTURE AND EDUCATION
which is a chunky 700-page tome (A 4 format!) at a whopping RMB 380 (2003 edition).
This book contains a list of approved employers (but this list is not exhaustive) as well as a summary of all relevant laws and regulations. |

Here's my favorite passage from that link (bold mine):
| Quote: |
According to the " Civil Lawsuit Law of the People's Republic of China", the "Administrative Lawsuit Law of the People's Republic of China " and the "Contract Law", foreign experts enjoy the same legal rights and duties as the citizens of the People's Republic of China. If the courts of the concerned foreign expert's country employ restrictions over the rights and duties of the Chinese citizens in their countries, then equivalent restrictions will be employed over these foreign experts in China.
The rights and interests of foreign experts working in China are protected by the Chinese Government. Foreign experts should carry out the agreements and employment contracts, which should provide clear items on foreign experts' insurance, medical care, holidays and other living conditions. If disputes occur, the experts can go to the arbitration board of foreign experts' contracts or to the local courts.
The payment of experts' personal Income tax should be done according to the tax laws.
Foreign experts can enjoy preferential treatment given by the Chinese government and will be praised or awarded for their good performance by the local governments or their work units. The highest award is the "Friendship Prize" given by the Chinese government. |
Just curious, has any poster here ever been awarded a "Friendship Prize"? |

Personally I haven't received one of these awards; they are commonly known as brownnose awards/zongse bizi jiang (maybe because everyone in China nose westerners have big noses), anyway you can find more out here:
www.brownnose.com
I understand there are three main award categories: yellownose, light brownnose and dark brownnose (huang bizi jiang, qian zong bizi jiang, and shen zong bizi jiang). There is some talk amongst the movers and shakers of Chinese society about introducing brownlip and browntongue awards.
Have to admit it's all a bit above me! |

I know a guy who got the Friendship Award. He taught in the same province for about 10 years, started an organization to recruit and screen other foriegn teachers for the province, initiated a Chinese language program at his institution for foreigners (and recruited students for that), and provided volunteers and $$ for improving the conditions in some of the remote village schools.
Interestingly enough, after living in China for more than 13 years, he doesn't speak much Chinese. |

To paraphrase KarenB:
"Interestingly, after so many years in China I still can't write nor read enough Chinese to reproduce this tome's title".
My GUIDE TO EMPLOYMENT OF FOREIGN EXPERTS was published by bthe Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press. Some of you guys know this organisation for its annual exercise of collecting TEFL papers from English teachers.
Their website: www.fltrp.com.cn
ISBN of this tome: 7-5600-3214-1 (my edition is from the year 2002_.
Telephone No. (010) 65 67 78 00
I was lucky enough to get this copy for free. |
