Part-time work is NOW possible for foreigners. You need to make arrangements with the company you have a contract with. Your obligations are with them. The part-time work needs to be flexible around your contract company. This went into effect about two years ago.

No, you won't be able to work at other companies other than only at the one which sponsored your Z visa and other permits for it!

You can legally work only at the Z visa sponsor, working anywhere else (even with the consent of your primary employer!) is illegal.

No you won't be able to because you have the permission to work for just one company aside from that I don't think there's any other option

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
