Q: How will the new visa ABC thing affect those of us who live but don't work in China

For those of us who work for ourselves or have retired to China and just live here, what will the new ABC visa thing do to us? Will we still need to go to my local visa office in BJ to renew my passport and renew my visa, or do we have to get the ABC thing?

Doesn't affect you at all. Only affects those on work permits. Carry on as you have before.

Not sure if you're being sarcastic? OP is referring to the new bullshit grading system for foreign workers.

It means you will see less expats teaching in the future. So it might affect you from a social standpoint.

A:I'll give my two cents on the age part. It's not as easy but can definitely be done. I was 21, fresh out of university and landed my first teaching job in china as a homeroom kindergarten teacher on a pretty standard 20,000/month salary. I'm 1 year in now and am still happy. Pretty much all international kindergarten jobs on here want 2 years experience, but many will still accept if you have experience in your home country. With that being said, being white and having a nice looking face is much more of a decision factor in china vs the west, if you can- use it to your advantage. Good luck finding something! -- brinsleym
