U.S. resident w/ Chinese passport need Z visa to work in China?

Hello all, I have a rather unique question.  I am a Chinese national by birth who left for the U.S. at age 3.  For some reason or another, my parents never naturalized me into a U.S. citizen and in my adult life, I found that having both a Chinese passport and an American green card can basically get me into any country I want without much trouble.


 


My question is, traveling and getting tourism visas is one thing, but am I legally allowed to work here in China with my Chinese passport?  Keep in mind that I do not and will not plan on getting a "hukou" or ID card.  Do I still need to get a "Z" visa?  Am I considered a Chinese National but like, not employable?  Any help on this is appreciated!

The only legal loopholes for non-native speakers to legally teach are if they're already certified as a subject teacher in their home country, or if they obtained their degree in one of the designated native English speaking countries.  -- Spiderboenz
