Q: Xian Vs. Nanjing: pros and cons.

Is Xian better than Nanjing, city wise? (quality of life...cost of living... Crowds... Public transport... Non-hostility to Arabs... City development...)
Pros... Cons... Help me out. Trying to find objective (ish) information for a friend to help her decide to stay in nanjing or leave to xian.

Culture and history are not a factor

Never been to Xi'An before, but the comparison probably won't be favorable to it... Well, just know some people who have lived in Nanjing long term that went to Xi'An and absolutely HATED it... And they really dislike Nanjing too. But Xi'An was apparently pretty awful.

In terms of specifications... cost of living, ... dunno man.

Woulda said Xi'An's strong point was culture, but now I see you aren't really regarding that as important.

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
