No, it is not common at all, maybe because to my knowledge Chinese Banks do not accept two or more names when opening an account, nor they will issue two debit (or ATM) cards to one account

Happy is right. Joint bank accounts do not exist in China.

However, as a spouse, you are entitled to get a debit/credit card associated to your spouse account. At least some banks propose this service. My wife could apply for a credit card for me as a spouse and it would be link to her bank account.

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
