@ SuperDave:
Just came across a German news article (http://www.ftd.de/karriere_management/karriere/:Kampf%20Fachkr%E4fte%20China/302137.html) stating that currently, the average gross salary for a CFO in China is USD 195k, though I think this figure applies to the tier-1 cities only. And please note one thing: You definitely don't need to have foreign experience to fill a CFO spot in China.

You can't compare the tip of the iceberg in China with the average employee in the US. Sure, a graduate in China usually starts with a gross salary of ~3-4k RMB/month, while his US counterpart starts with ~3-5k USD/month. But after working for 10-15 years, China's best people will earn more than the average US employee in ABSOLUTE TERMS. An ordinary foreigner (regardless of his education and work experience) coming to China can't base his salary expectations on what the very best locals earn.
