I am not a computer geek, I am a floating system engineer.
Chinese company contrary to India never hesitate to pay very high salary to foreigner to learn new skill.
Chinese are thinking about long term goal and they want to get into new technology/engineer by learning from foreigners.
Many Indians are in yantai and dalian enjoying good life and yes there are saving a lot of money.

Apparently for the chinese 500,000 RMB a year is well off (by shanghai standards) but not rich. Considering a 100 square meter apartment in one of the inner Puxi districts will cost 4-5million RMB+.

Chinese government is trying to attractive skilled migrants, especially in the management discipline, they are now issuing or considering to issue 5 year work visas with additional perks, such as higher tax free thresholds and rights to own property (a privilege in certain 1st tier cities).
