Update here - as I've been communicating with employers and recruiters in various places, and scouring the internet for whatever I can find about different places' requirements, I am starting to get more of a picture. I'll put down what is clear so far here, and others can add anything I'm leaving out.
Requires CBC, will accept local check: Beijing
Requires CBC, has to have national check (FBI check): Qingdao, Hangzhou, Yunnan Province, Jiangsu Province, Sichuan Province, Chongqing, Shenzhen and Guangzhou (all of Guangdong??), Changsha (all of Hunan??), Zhengzhou (all of Henan??), Wuhan, Liaoning Province, Tianjin.
Claim not to require any CBC: Shanghai, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Inner Mongolia, Guizhou, Gansu, Xi'an/Shaanxi.
As for other places, I still have no idea. I'm basing this off of correspondence I've had during my job search, so take it with a grain of salt. |
This is an excellent service you have provided for others. Keeping with the theory that change in China ripples outwards. I would expect most not-required jurisdictions will soon require a national check. The exception is Shanghai, which is progressive enough and has enough clout to often ignore directives which it does not deem in its best interest. I would expect more of the ones currently requiring a national one will roll back to Beijing's local check. Anyways, thanks for sharing. |

| Does anyone find it strange that Yunnan requires an FBI check whereas Shanghai requires nothing at all? I suppose the Shanghai government better recognizes the importance of foreigners to the economy (though they can still be absolute pricks when they want to be). |

Last year I got a job in Qingdao and just had an online, non-notarized background check and that was fine. It might depend on the area you're applying to and the school's guanxi. Seems odd it would change that much in a year, but TIC I guess.
After my current job and the search that led up to it, quite frankly I think that recruiters and a lot of FAOs don't have a damn clue about visa requirements. If you work for a school that doesn't know how to back-channel the process it can cause a lot of problems too, no matter what the local agenda is. |

According to the above thread, one person required one, whereas another did not. |

Trebek, I read that China does not accept Apostilles (because they were not a signatory to some international convention) and that authentication of the FBI check has to come from the department of state, and then there has to be a second authentication done by the Chinese consulate in the U.S. However, on the form for requesting this (DS-4194), there is no place for selecting whether it is an apostille or non-apostille authentication that you need. I guess I'll figure this out when the time comes.

Do you mean apostles?
The act of apostillization and authentication are the same thing.
Apostles are something else. |
