Q: Can Facebook be accessed in China?

I have heard that the Chinese Govt is thinking about relaxing their stranglehold on internet censorship, and opening up sites such as Facebook and Youtube in the very near future. Can anyone confirm these rumours??

Hey Ludovico

I dont know where you have that information from, but it is definetely not my impression that the government is relaxing the control on the net. Actually it is my impression that they are turning the screws on the net recently. I think this has something to do with the upcoming 90 years anniversary of the party.

Normally when china is nearing big days like the 60 years or 90 years anniversaries the control get stronger.

I can confirm that it's a rumor. Oh. That wasn't what you asked. Well, who knows what the government is thinking about doing? Today, FB is blocked, as is YouTube and Twitter and who knows what else. Google VPN and move on.

Even Gmail in Shanghai works wired let alone opening up sites like Facebook!

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
