| Yeah, I remember that thread. Far and away the biggest future in ELT in China, in my opinion. Go for where the market’s at (kiddies) and one’d be raking it in with a good Chinese partner. |

I agree that you are most likely to succeed in something built on what you already do. Craft brewing is a step too far for your average FT.
The problem is the Chinese partner. Somehow you must retain some ingredient in the business that only you can provide. |

A white face and English may suffice in the beginnings but then as the business gets larger it would become more difficult I guess. Best not get started on the Chinese business partner discussion lest my favourite poster returns...
“I am an American who has come to teach in China.” All Chinese business partners are 100 per cent fabulous 😳 |

It's Chinese New Year - he must be spending time with his "loyal and loving adopted Chinese family" somewhere in the boonies with no internet nor 4G.
Just a coal fire and stove, and some home grown (and fertilized) veggies and the prized piggy on the boil.
Now that's we all truly want in the beloved PRC, innit?

Hey, guys. The topic of this thread is about Z visas for non-native speakers.
Per the OP:
| Quote: |
A law was passed in 2017 which allows employment of only native speakers as ESL teachers.
As I'm non-native and out of luck in that sense, I tried to figure out what is, actually, the deal.
There are people who recently got their Z visa but they are not native speakers(Latvia and India). There are job ads saying that they can employ only natives because of migration laws. And there is everything in between those two ends of Z visa story.
....
I find this whole thing very vague and confusing, Therefore, I wanted to see if some of you have recent first-hand experience with the matter...??
Any input is appreciated! |
