No, really not enough.
Your accommodation will eat most of that in Guangzhou.

Unless your proposed employer provides accommodation, which many Chinese company's do.

Well ,this is acceptable .
I don't know your position
but 10K per month is far enough for your daily consume.
Local people who is a bachelor just graduate may be get a salary at about 3K-5K.
So maybe here you can marry a beautiful wife because this salary is Appreciable

The locals laugh at us, questioning whether our salaries will be enough, when they can survive with their families on much less.
However, remember, we likely will spend more.

We have different expectations of accommodation standards;
We might have child schooling to pay;
We might need to buy medical insurance;
We might have to pay our flights back to UK (holiday times), unless we
negotiate that into our contracts;
We enjoy to travel, but again flying is faster and safer than sitting on a
packed, overnight, train or long distance bus.

In my opinion, the more salary you can earn, the better !
