Q: Is it just me or are foreign teacher jobs in China slowly dying out?

You can't teach if you are a non-native.

More people get replaced with locals or get substituted with professors who are there because of a partnership and just stay for a year.

Even though the market is there, I don't see a way to move to China and have a stable life there, because of the government intervention.

I really liked the idea to live in china but it really seems that I won't be appreciated...

Maybe you stepped into a time machine? Because None natives can still teach English, we have two at Wall Street with Working Visa's who are new BTW. Jobs are going great and KEEP GETTING BETTER.

DBushiri:

But with the current trend of regulations I am not sure if It will stay like this for the next 5-10 years.

It's true.

 

you will arrive for a teaching job, even a perfectly legal one and the police will already be waiting for you at the airport. 

 

From there you will have not but two options, imprisonment for not less than 5 yrs or joining the China Scam Watch. If you join the watch you will be required to post stories online for 10 hrs a day and live at the watch compound beneath the great wall in inner Mongolia. I think that's what happened to Icnif, btw and he is still a little salty about it.

icnif77:

I am not 'salty' whatsoever! I hate repeating (as BS at Schools I work) and 'nonsense'.

 

I wanted to delete last part of my A, 'cause I am keep repeating here about BS at different Schools.

There are so many teaching jobs out there it really isn't funny. I'm looking for a job now and I can.pick and choose what job I'd like and my salary requests seem to be given without haggling.

Maybe a little different for people who are under-qualified and for non-native speakers but I really don't think so.

icnif77:

There's no trouble to find new spot for me as Non. I usually ask my trusted placement agents and get 1 or 2 offers from one.

 If I look at job adverts and I see difference in offer between Native or Non, I don't send my CV.

I feel the same as ''hungry person would say: 'I prefer sausage over the bread.''surprise

It's not the teaching jobs that are dying out but the supply of teachers. Trust me, I work in recruiting. It's becoming hard to find candidates for any job outside tier-1 cities.

ironman510:

True, many of my friends say the salary doesn't match the cost of living.
