There are a couple on Craigslist - Seattle Washington U.S.A. I was looking at them last night and they claim it does not matter where you are as long as you have access to the net. They are under gigs - writing. I hope that helps you.

  There is also a competition to write a short story on there. The prize is 1000$ U.S. You can really do some fun stuff in China for a grand, so if your good, you should enter.

I think that echinacities is actually looking for freelance writers. 

do your have a resume? here this a position  in my company in Shanghai to develop overseas market , you can send your resume by email to elina_lv@163.com,  or contact us by QQ398515035

You're from China shouldn't be hard for you to find a job here for writing....check your local t.v. station and some other  websites such as this one...I won't give out my favorite one because I win free prizes there.....but yes Echina is hiring...

I made a profile on elance, I was looking for anything translation/writing-related, but I didn't get hired because that place is a sweatshop. 

Networking is probably very important...

This is an old post, what happened?

Unfortunately it seems very difficult to get a regular paid gig.

Any luck I've had recently has been freelance feature or opinion pieces for things back home.

Good luck.

Are the jobs for Echina paid? They always seem to be looking for stories . half the time we here on the answers forum  are their inspiration                                                                                                                                                                                           Or you could do what Sparky / Sprite does but she only gets Wu Mao per post
