First came the crack down on fake teachers with fake diplomas (2018). Then in 2020 COVID hit while half of the Laowai teachers were back home for the Christmas holidays and locked out of China. Then in 2021 all the foreign-owned chains were booted out of China, and now the mass lock-downs and COVID restrictions sent another 20,000 foreign teachers packing. Those remaining, mostly outside of Beijing and Shanghai now number roughly 10,000 according to SAFEA and the CFTU. Many went to Korea and Japan.

I suggest every TEFL teacher take a visit to https://reddit.com/r/TEFLscams BEFORE they send off their resumes.

I never left and lately I noticed a lot of new foreign faces who sneaked into China through Mongolia or Vietnam working with fake documents. Boy, when they get caught, are they in for a most unpleasant surprise!
