It's a cultural thing, not political.

Porn is banned by he same government body that decides which movies can be shown. It's more about appearance than anything else. A Japanese porn star named Sora Aoi is hugely popular here and just about any guy knows who she is, even though porn is "banned".

"Cultural Protectionism." But there's porn in China. They arrest people for distributing it all the time.

I think porn is pretty much banned in countries that have strong traditional influence.

But that does not mean they don't exist.

A:I'll give my two cents on the age part. It's not as easy but can definitely be done. I was 21, fresh out of university and landed my first teaching job in china as a homeroom kindergarten teacher on a pretty standard 20,000/month salary. I'm 1 year in now and am still happy. Pretty much all international kindergarten jobs on here want 2 years experience, but many will still accept if you have experience in your home country. With that being said, being white and having a nice looking face is much more of a decision factor in china vs the west, if you can- use it to your advantage. Good luck finding something! -- brinsleym
