Q: What's the most reliable email provider to use in China?

Gmail and yahoo both suck in China. I don't know if hotmail or outlook are any better but I'd rather not use a Chinese email provider like 163.

Hotmail works all day long for me. Can't really worry about the gov't snooping in on your emails. I just know hotmail works 99.9% of the time for me.

One thing for sure, it's definitely not yahoo... The one that always opens is hotmail, never had an issue with that. But I've read that hotmail's spam filter and so doesn't work as well compared to yahoo's and gmail's.

I use sympatico, which uses Hotmails servers. My account was hacked and I lost it for 6 months. It did not matter what questions I answered, Hotmail said I still couldn't prove it was my account. It wasn't until I got after Bell that I got it back.

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
