CSC gives free residence And 1700 for ms or 2000 rmb for phd which is a good enough amount in any case. I read the reply from the Beijing brother and agree with a few things about big cities being expensive but xian is fine and with CSC it's even better ... People easily managed there without CSC on 800 dollars...
About jobs, well that's not a dead end as the other brother said, English teaching job doesn't need white skin, it needs good English ... And in some cases people have been financed by their supervisors to a certain amount, not too big but have been financed never the less ... It depends on your approach to problems no matter where one is living ...

We Hec scholar just get admission throuh csc we are gettng nothing from csc ( there is no free residnce for us nor we are getting any 1700 rmb extra) , you have to pay 1500 rmb just for single bed in shared room.
There are too many pakistani in my universty , they all are getting 1200$ along with salary but they only call their family just for a couple of month. Becuase you can't live in beijing, the way we live in pakistan. In beijing we just have one school in pakistan embassy. If you have three school going children then it is impossible to cover your expenses . One of my friend spend
all his scholarship along with some part of his salary and live at the edge of Beijing. Other married people also have terrible stories .
As for job is concern Beijing is full of american and european and these chinese only conisder you if you are white . They are very impressed by white people.
May be in Xian there are some jobs for pakistani due to less foriegner.
