Q: Do Chinese even hire Africans as English teachers?
Can I be hired in China as an English teacher although i am from Africa?
3 years 27 weeks ago in Business & Jobs - China
I came to know that Asian and Africans are less fortunate to get job and work visa
That's a bit of a tricky question... generally no but sometimes yes, although not always legally.
Usually you'd be considered a non-native speaker which would rule you out for the visa. But - I don't know if this is still the case - if you have a degree from a native speaking country you can be eligible for a proper working visa.
The borders are closed now though, almost nobody can enter China but... if you happen to already be in the country in theory you'd still be able to land a job.
It would technically be illegal. You would not be able to get a residence permit and Z work visa.
Yes. In Nanjing they are gradually replacing the native English teachers. They're illegal, but considerably cheaper.

Once, I read an assumption there is going to be 300 M English students in China by year 2020.
There are not enough Native English teachers in the whole world to satisfy this demand ...
Chinese employers will "pull skin of one's back" when employed illegally ..., so my advice is "Don't do it!"

Post-Covid, probably, if you're ok with working in a 4th tier city. There were a couple of Kenyans working in the high school I taught at in China. One taught physics, the other math. Both had Ph.D's.
