Q: Can you send something securely to China?

My friend wants to send some really important paperwork to my address in China. How can they do this securely? We would both feel comfortable if I was able to sign off on this letter.

I believe that if it's only important for the receiver, you're some sort of chance to get it.

And I believe that if someone along the chain in China believes it could be important for them, your chances are reduced.

China has all the usual premium mail companies. DHL, FEDEX etc work just as well here as anywhere else. Land mail can take months.

I echo ScotsAlan above on the best companies to use.

I'd also add, make sure you have the address in Chinese and a phone number for a local contact.

Have the package sent to a work address if possible, or that of a trusted local friend.

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
