I accepted a job in China, then got a much better offer I can’t accept

Well I didn’t get the offer yet. I got an interview offer, but every interview I’ve had has resulted in a job offer in China

I accepted a uni English job at place A, and sent my documents so they started applying for the work permit. I got an interview offer from place B, which is a better city, higher pay, more holidays (place A is a 10 month contract with a month paid holiday, place B is a 12 month contract with 3 months paid holiday), and has slightly less air pollution (though both are shit)

But once an employer has started a work permit application, it’s tied to them and they have to cancel it for another employer to apply for one. And sometimes they don’t, out of spite. So if I tried to withdraw I could end up with nothing

was the better offer not having to be around chinese people?

what if you told them that you were a felon or something similar? Also it may be better to be at a worse city. I've heard JBW is getting oversaturated in the tier 1 cities

One of the documents is a police check
And the second job is on the outskirts of a tier 2 city
