The China Flexpat podcast interviews professionals in China to help people from all over the world find the best jobs in China.

Highly interested in China's business world, culture, people and language but without the backing of a multinational company that provides large salary packages. We want to show you how you can become a well paid and happy China flexpat with the right skills and mindset.
