Where is Jining?

From the Wikipedia entry for Jining
Jining is also called the "city of sinkholes". Due to excessive coal mining, large parts of the city have been abandoned. Three thousand farmers were displaced. People who built new houses found cracks after mere months and had to leave. The Jining Land Resource Bureau predicts that by 2090, one third of the city – an area as large as Los Angeles – will fall into the earth, and an estimated 5 million people will have been forced out of the region by the problem.Some people remember when – 30 years ago – Jining was a mere village, with no train stations or shopping malls. Now, they fear, it is too late for the city to pull out of the coal business.

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
