China won't pay

So every time something goes wrong in my flight school, I hear the same reason: "China didn't pay us on time again." 

We train chinese student pilots for airlines all over China, namely Shenzen, Air China, China Eastern, etc. Right now, all of my students are on no-fly status because their parent airlines have not made their payments, or so claims my company's CEO. 

So right now I'm living the dream by not even being able to get a paycheck. I tell you, if this is "paying my dues at the bottom" then I would expect a 250k per year job waiting somewhere for me at the top of this twisted, rickety old ladder. Wouldn't you?
