In my personal experience, teaching certificates have varied in relevance depending on the context and location. Here's a breakdown of each aspect:
a) Getting the teaching job: Teaching certificates can certainly enhance your chances of securing a teaching position, especially in formal educational settings such as schools and language institutions. Many employers prefer candidates who...

if your employer sticks to the letter of the law regarding employment of foreigners, then the answer is no.
If your employer is satisfied with your work and they will ignore your age, the answer is 'maybe' , unless they can get someone younger and cheaper than you.However, you may encounter a problem when you register and some ;jobs-worth' notices your age unless your employer has...

Not entirely true.
If the money goes directly into the bank account in the home country, no issues.
However, if it goes into the WeChat wallet/alipay, then it can be tracked down and punished as illegal income. Unlikely to happen, but still a possibility. -

Ageism is both practiced and supported by almost every school in China. There are only rare exceptions. There are pointed questions on all applications referring to age, such as " older or younger than 55" and you must check one box or the other to continue. You could be perfectly qualified for a job and in excellent health, and this box will eliminate you from other...

I came here in 2011 and I’m still here.. It’s down to the individual to deal with/ accept/ adapt (or not) with issues and problems and that’s the same in every country.
People try China for different reasons and it might work out or not, like in any country and there is always the option to leave.
Yeah, seems like some accounts here are BS but hey ho, that’s China or should I say... -

It all depends on the school and where you want to teach. Some school are ageist and they only want to employ younger teachers while universities are more flexible and will accept applications from older candidates. Usually a work permit is only given up until the age of 60 years because that's the retirement age in China and so it can't be renewed after age 60. Some adverts will specify the...

Let's get one thing straight. If you want to live and work in China then you have to work for a boss. If you try to open up your own consulting company then they always see it as you are trying to cut out the Chinese (pimp) and that you want to work for yourself.

I left just over three years ago. Best choice I ever made. I was there for around 12 years. I also had the problem with no degree. The government expects people with degrees to go and teach English and all these people have an actual degree. What a waist of a degree. The money spent on getting an actual degree and then working as an English teacher in China... well that is pretty much an...

You might also try in Kaifeng or in Henan overall, anywhere with the larger Uyghur populus.
I've lived and worked in both places. Nowhere else...

You can exit China under Z visa anytime you please. However, most recipients of Z visa apply with employer's help for Residence permit after the entry to China.
Z visa is valid 30-days and you can do whatever you want, apply for RP or exit China and return home.
Z visa cancellation is impossible, I'd say, unless you committed a crime and even then cops would just...
