You won't be successful at landing of a job in China 'cause of your too-young age.

At my start in China, I often had Chinese English speaking teacher present at my classes.
They were learning the business ... and why not?
Chinese lessons in different grades were comprised of 'reading & repeating' at that time.
Entire class would listen the tape and then head-student would read aloud and rest of the class repeating. Year 2010.
You can't apply...

Nobody can tell you that!
You could look at no-response-time in two ways:
1. 'Nobody is interested in your CV and hiring you ...';
or
2. 'Never, ever stop sending your CV to the daily posted job openings and simply disregard no-replies thingy!'
It's wrong, to expect replies from the Chinese...

You do not need 2 years of experience as suggested above. If you're a fresh graduated from a high ranked university (e.g. QS50) then you direclty qualify in most cities. I went this pathway in Guangzhou and it worked without 2 years of experience.

@Spider: True, but I think they get Z visa for a different profession and then they teach English, i.e. they can't get Z visa for an English teaching job ... 'cause only native English passport holders qualify for an E.T. job in China.
From the web search:
"Yes, a Filipino national can obtain a Z visa in China if they have a valid job offer and the necessary...

A job doing what? Being a secretary? Pretty sure that job would go to a local.
Highly unlikely that you would qualify for a work permit.

Summer camps tend to be connected to a school and use their teachers/staff.
The ones that don't, well... those jobs tend to not be the ones that are capable of giving a person a proper, legal work permit/z visa. Work on a tourist/business/student visa is not legal work and you would be opening yourself up to all kinds of exploitation.
If you are fine...

I've seen ads for non-natives, but those typically are also the jobs that tell you that it's ok to teach on a business visa... (it isn't)

Your first step should be at FindJobz, top L corner of this screen, where you should look for an Arabic language teacher job openings.

You can still skin into China as a non-English native teacher by holding English Teaching license in your home country.
2nd: Your BA degree should be completed in a native English country.

I hope, you're aware, any African English teacher, who's land-based working in China is illegal worker by the current Chinese Labour law, i.e. work without Working and Residence permit, with exception of English teachers from S. Africa (see my link above!).
This doesn't have anything to do with the racism!
It's a simply put, 'The-Law-of-the-Land!', which...
