I worked abroad in China for ten months, five in 2014 and five in 2015. I was taxed by China, but received no documentation of taxes or payments. How do I do my return?

I was a teacher who was paid monthly. The Chinese government automatically taxed my income. I do not have documentation of the total income or the taxes taken. Turbotax tells me that I was a factual resident during this time, but not knowing the totals I earned is making things complicated. How do I process this?

You will need to make some kind of educated guess.  It is up to you to keep track of your income.  Telling CRA that you have no idea how much you made is likely to have unsatisfactory consequences.
