Home is Guangzhou so I’ll be staying home at Christmas

 

 

though it is a typical poorly thought out question. As already mentioned, majority of us are on Chinese holidays & Christmas isn’t a Chinese holiday...

Most Chinese employers give no more than 1 day holiday for Christmas.

Some don't even allow any time off. People working in China get Chinese holidays, not non-Chinese holidays.

Seeing as you have worked with foreigners, how do you not know this?

@DickBourne

she is probably confused as how to respond, not writing her usual expletive heavy 'epic'

Its obvious what curious is saying. Out of context perhaps, but certainly in line with recent posts.

Carefull Vicki.

http://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2017/12/20/chinese-communists...

According to this vastly popular news website ( Trump himself reads it), Christmas is banned in China. Only Shanghai has Christmas trees. Beijing does not even have fake snow.

We all know Christmas is not a thing in China, and why should it be. Brits dont get CNY holidays and all that.

But be carefull Vicky, according to Breitbart, one more mention of the C word and its off to re-education you go Smile

ScotsAlan:

As a wee add. Daughter loves it. I have been black mailing her with Santa for months now. Her school (Government run), has given her Christmas day off. Obviously, the headmaster of the school does not read Breitbart. Otherwise he would know its banned.

Scotts is a damn liar!  

 

Article states : China’s state newspaper the Global Times reported Wednesday that Communist Party officials in some municipalities have banned members from “celebrating” Christmas in yet another way to fight an alleged “cultural invasion” of China by the West.

When Breibart is telling the truth and you're not then you need to retire

Hey.. I switch to conservative mode when I read Breitbart. Did you see the bit about Harbin ice festival. Can you believe that? The bloody commies are launching an ice festival in Harbin to takes peoples minds away from our lords birthday. Breitbart suggests this year is the first ice festival in Harbin. Bloody commies should embrace Christ.

Quote from the Breitbart scripture...

'While Chinese citizens may not be allowed to decorate...'

Implication seems plain to me. Jesus not welcome.

Breitbart mode.... stop Islamification of.west... no to Sharia.. Ban Muslims.

Dam those Chinese commies.. rejecting our Lords Birthday.

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
