Yes, if you have a VPN on your phone. I'm not sure how exactly to do that but I do know it's possible because I have several friends with VPNs on their Android phones who use Facebook.

Rainrain:

thanks, I hope someone can tell me how.

Being an android user, you can't use fb without a vpn in China. If your looking for someone to tell you how to write your own programming to run a vpn on your phone, you're on the wrong type of forum (and I'm way too lazy). Try searching the android market for an app that you trust for said vpn.

Yes, it is possible if you bought your phone outside of China or put some foreign firmware onit. My LG was purchased in Europe and I manually flashed some open European firmware where Facebook is installed. It works with China Mobile WITHOUT any VPN settings.

For a rooted Android phone, I strongly recommend Friedrich Schäuffelhut's OpenVPN in the Google Play Store. It's free and it's open source.

Just make sure your VPN server supports VPN connections. I have a Linux box in the USA that I run 24/7 and just OpenVPN into it from here in China from my laptop, from my phone, and from my HP Touchpad Tablet.

Here https://www.vpnanswers.com/set-l2tp-vpn-connection-android-lollipop/ you can get free access to the internet using your Android using L2TP configuration and OpenVPN application to get almost 6 connections on different devices at the same time.

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
