I think I would view unsolicited offers much like offers from Silk Street or other "bargain" markets: they start with the ridiculous and hope for a bite. When the ridiculous offers are the only ones coming my way, after actively searching for work, I think I'd give China a pass.

I have been in China for several years, so I guess my email address is on some sort of list that the recruiters have access to.
I usually receive one or two emails a day, but now it seems to be about a dozen a day.
I don't make any effort to stop the emails because I like to keep current on the offers that are being made.
Anyway, the unsolicited offers right now are numerous, but also not very good.
Just received this one a few minutes ago about a school in Fuzhou.
So many potential areas for the school to take advantage of the FT.
"Located in the heart of the city, in a nice classroom environment, our school deals primarily with students aged 4 to 17 with class sizes no larger than sixteen students.
We focus on all areas of English as well as trying to give a realistic look at classroom learning from a foreign perspective.
Teachers have about 20 hours a week class time with flexible administration time included. During the peak seasons the teaching time is 26 hours a week. We are looking for teachers that have a passion for teaching, a positive attitude and a desire to challenge themselves. A teaching certificate and university degree is required.
Benefits include:
6000 RMB probation period, 7000 afterwards
Housing allowance(900 RMB one month)
Flight reimbursement
Z visa
10 days plus national holidays paid vacation
2 days off a week(1 days off a week in the peakseasons)" |

I like this analogy. The vast majority of us foreigners back home just starting out looking for a job are unaware that everything in Chins is negotiable-- even jobs. |

Don't think that could be construed as an 'offer'.
The same text has likely been sent to thousands of email addresses.
If it was an 'offer' multiple persons could accept and have a binding employment agreement. Clearly that is not the intention.
That said, I agree that the salary levels I'm seeing are 'flat' and/or more hours demanded. Also, not as many uni and college vacancies so maybe not so many 'runners' over the holiday.
Subject teachers in high schools is my impression of the advertising. |

You are right. I do not consider them to be serious offers, just ads for possible jobs. |
