Q: Who do you think you are?

War you want, war you get.

When a foreigner comes to China, they are a guest. They need to act like a guest. When you enter a host's home you do not criticize the decoration and suggest changes that suit you.

Who are you to tell China what it needs or how to change?

Let me give two quotes from the same westerner:

I don't know if China's ready, but you betcha it's time!
And I never said anything about what's best for China.

At least this explains your preoccupation with psychological services.

Since coming to China in 1978 I have seen so many like you crash and burn, leaving a mess for the rest of us foreigners to clean up and live down.

Njord while I agree with you, unfortunately China does not yet accept that "... there is common decency and universally accepted behaviors...."

In New York I could not expect common decency from the residents of Hells Kitchen because they have different ideas.

That is what cultural diversity is all about. Different standards, not universally accepted behaviors.

I'm glad somebody had brought this up. You have very valid points and I agree that a foreigner is a guest of the country they are visiting. If a foreigner treats somebody in china poorly what would they think about the country that foreigner is from. 

Just like what your teacher taught you in school. If you have nothing nice to say don't say anything at all. Well, at least I learned in school that's why I can graduate and pass my classes while others are trying to keep up! 

You just hit the nail in the coffin my friend!

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
