A:First answer from my nucleary powered search und spell check engine: "A misdemeanor (American English, [1] spelled misdemeanour elsewhere)"   To really answer your Q, 1. one had to be convicted of the misdemeanor some years ago; 2. She/he has to apply for an English teaching job in China; and-o ... one must be a native English passport holder ... then, such poster could really answer yer Q. After looking for more facts, I read misdemeanor is a crime!https://www.forbes.com/advisor/legal/criminal-defense/what-is-a-misdemeanor/READ This!   -- icnif77
