Q: Anyone ever tried the chinese whisky that looks like Jack Daniels?

Is it safe to drink? The price seems pretty good, but I have never tried it. Hoping to get an experienced opinion.

Haven't tried it. It is most likely not worth it.

I've come to the conclusion that the only thing that is done well in China, in terms of alcohol, is beers and rice wine. Sure the beers might not be as inspirational as e.g. Belgium beers, and some rice wine is more like industrial waste than a liquid you would want inside your body. Yet, on a hot day, a cool Tsingtao does the trick, and a 50% rice wine spiced with dates or other commonly used flavors can also be a nice drink.

For whiskey, I happen to know the count of Chinese manufacturers is ZERO. So what you see in that bottle isn't whiskey. At best it is a vodka like pure alcohol with some coloring and flavors added.

Q: Do I have to be native speaker to teach English literature?

A: You can still skin into China as a non-English native teacher by holdi

A: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. Once, you fulfilled these 'parameters', you qualify for an English teaching job in China as a non-native English sneaker with Z - Entry/Working visa with Working and Residence permit later on. See the last 'Answers Highlight' ---> there is a web link posted about 'requirements for teaching English language in China as a non-English native passport holder'. https://www.gooverseas.com/blog/guide-teaching-english-china#paragraph-item-63614-target

*English proficiency: Passport from one of seven "native speaker" countries (US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and South Africa). If you aren’t a native speaker, you’ll need to be a certified teacher in your home country with proof of your English proficiency (e.g. IELTS or TOEFL). I'd say, Chinese will choose and look especially for a native English speaker at teaching of English Literature job openings. Posted job adverts for English Literature teaching are most likely from International Schools in China. Good luck! -- icnif77
