 | Wan, The popularity of a language is related to its national strength. Presently, many countries in the world are suffering from the economic recessions. China is one of the few countries that its economy is still increasing. The economic growth, to some extent, reflects a nation's national strength. With the rise of the national strength, many foreigners start to learn Chinese in hope of benefiting their career. Chinese perhaps can not replace English. But I'd like to see more and more people learn my mother tongue. I am proud of it. |

| You have very good positive thinking. Some other people would say, foreigners like to conquer and by studying Chinese they could subdue the Chinese and dictate the market. Look at how much they got paid compared to the local Chinese? I think it's good to learn Chinese and I'm thinking of learning that too when I have more free time. Wan |

| Wan, Then we can think in the same way. We study English to conquer the western world someday, haha. Compared with Chinese people, those foreigners (especially foreign teachers in China) earn too much. But if we take exchange rate into consideration, their salary isn't as good as those who stay in their country. I will be a rich guy if I change my money into Vietnamese dollars. Haha. |

| Five years ago I know one paediatric specialist in Vietnam, and her salary was only USD150 per month which I think approximately RMB900 per month. Bu then, life in Vietnam is not the same as in China, as well as in Malaysia. In Malaysia for example, RM2000 one can survive well but RMB2000 per month will get you nowhere. For new graduates, according to government monthly salary scale, they get about RM2100 excludes RM850 of other allowances. Wan |

| Recently a friend of mine advertised a teaching job at one local public university for a post of Mandarin teacher with that kind of basic salary. Only 20 candidates applied and sent their resumes to the secretariat, which I think will be interviewed in Beijing. The application is already closed anyhow. This teaching job is only for the non Chinese speakers as an elective. Wan |

| For new graduates, according to government monthly salary scale, they get about RM2100 excludes RM850 of other allowances. Wan, are these allowances given by the government or the employers? I earned RMB 1900 when I got my first job. It wasn't high but my company offered free accommodations to us. Did your friend get the job? Foreign teachers in China enjoy better payment. |

| Dear Cherry It is the grade specified by the Public Service Department for government employees, Companies and private institutions have their own salary scale where the government has no say. Private institutions, some are high salary while some are less than what the government offers. Wan |

| Wan, Do you know how much those graduates in the private corps earn per month averagely in Malaysia? |

| I think almost the same. 10 years ago many graduates are looking forward to work in private sectors but not anymore. Government offers basic RM2100 with other allowances RM850 I think is lucrative enough in Malaysia. Wan |

| Wan, It's the same in China. Many people do whatever they can to become civil officials. The salary is low but they enjoy better allowances and get guarantee when they retire. Can you imagine thousands of people compete for one position? Wan, there are many graduates and very limited number of positions offered by the government. So those who fail to compete for the positions have no choice but work in private companies. |
