When I was in China, my at-the-time girlfriend showed me a Chinese cartoon with two beggars in the street in the US, one telling the other, "Hey, I have an idea - let's go teach English in China".

That should say something about how Chinese students see some English teachers.

That's also true in South Korea; one of the k-bloggers I follow has a historical shtick where he digs up & translates old articles about 'native English teachers', and also archives comics from Korean newspapers about them (typically xenophobic etc).
