Q: A Reverse VPN?

Just curious, has anyone ever heard of a VPN that would set you with a China IP address?

Censorship aside, there are solid video sites with tons of movies on the chinese internet, which don't work abroad or in HK...not saying I would buy one but has anyone ever decided to jump the great firewall going the other way?

Yes, I think it is called a VPN?! You just choose a Chinese IP instead of a non-Chinese IP

Yeah, I've seen some VPN services propose Chinese IPs.

But if it's for movies and TV, torrents these days are just a blink.

Finally moving to HK?

haha i wish.

Nah just curious.

I actually like baidu for TV shows. I'm sure there are better ways that a more sophisticated person than me can figure out though

The question is, how much would the 5,7 billion potential customers outside of China pay for this service :)

I have a Chinese friend who has an IT company. We have discussed this and he is considering setting this up to offer to Chinese abroad. Interestingly enough the demand is for Chinese series and news.

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
