Q: In What Chinese Cities can I work above the age of 65? There are a few I was told
I read in a post here that there are some foreigners working beyond the age of 65, even to age 70? Where are they in China? I want to apply to work.

The restriction for work once you are 65 years of age comes from the health insurance companies, that will consider you a high risk factor and refuse to accept you with their coverage. No health insurance, no work. There is no law that prohibits you to work after 65 years of age, it is the health insurance coverage from Chinese companies.
What some acquaintances of mine have done is to buy their own private coverage, and showing that they are insured they can continue to work. But, is it worth the expense? Private coverage is not cheap at all. And if you are from USA, Medicare and Medicaid coverage will not work, because they already know it will not cover you while in China.
Good luck to you.
it depends on the specific situation .there are two foreigners who are over 65 but still working as teachers in my college.

OK. I hope to receive the details as soon as you have time to send them to me. I was ready to give up hope. I am very discouraged.

shandong polytechnic university in shandong , jinan city has an american architect retired teaching english that is 70 years old. they have a website.
I think there must still be lots of schools you can find to work in even if you are over 65 considering the large demand for English teachers(especially native speakers) in this country.Good Luck!
try a search for HTH worldwide insurance. they offer health insurance for expats living in countries around the world
I'm not exactly sure where I just know you won't be able to find a teaching job at that age...other than teaching which is probably off the list you could run your own company or start a business...that way you can be the boss and use your wisdom to guide people!
