If you earn enough, you can work past 60 with a Foreign Expert rating (at leat in Guizhou) -- but enough is more an teachers get paid here. I have known people to get exceptions to the "60" rule to teach in more remote areas.

You had to have BA (completed in Native English country), TEFL certificate and 2-years of working experience ( with addition today, one must hold passport from Native English country) ... and once you landed in China, you became an expert ..
