    The easiest way would be through teaching English, but you can look at other career paths too. Many countries require a university degree and a clean criminal record for work permits, not sure about China specifically though. In some cases it can be worked around anyway. Look into work that ‘expats’ do in China and then see what the career paths are and which ones might be achievable for you

    If you don’t have a particular career path already, then teaching English is a common way for foreigners to live and work in China.

    Idk but any criminal record in any country is an immediate and permanent disqualifer for ever working here. my fiancé is here, so I started to look into it, but having cannabis charges from when I was younger put a stop to that pretty quickly.

      This is basically what I was going to say.

      It’s been a while since I checked but last I heard, there’s decent money that can be made as an English language tutor. Of course, business English tutoring attracts the best money and qualifications always help but you can go quite far if you commit to being a good tutor and put the effort in even without qualifications or having experience in business-speak.

      Vietnam is pretty cheap with regards to the cost of living as well.

      If I had to flee where I live and I had a choice, Vietnam would rank extremely high on my list.

      But I think Vietnamese is deceptive with regards to ease of learning the language. Imo it’s more difficult to master Vietnamese tones than the tones in Mandarin, and that’s without incorporating the glottal stop that’s very common in Vietnamese. The romanised script definitely lowers the bar for reading Vietnamese by a huge margin but it’s a challenge to learn how to speak Vietnamese well.

    From what I’ve been able to gather, unless you plan to be an English teacher or have connections, you need to know Chinese. If you can take the opportunity, look into taking a semester or two at a Chinese University as an international student for a Chinese Language Course. Get your chinese as good as possible. That, on top of having a Bachelors or better, will open up the opportunities you need. Beyond that Linkedin is good if you already have that, and if you have enough 普通话 knowledge just apply on platforms like Zhaopin and 51Job.

    I’ll probably be asking the same question in a few years, but for our entire family. Right now we’re (sometimes) treading water financially, but we’re taking Mandarin lessons as a family. I really hope that five to ten years from now, we can get the hell outta the west.
