I don't recall the exact details, but there was a JET-like job -asst English instructor/teacher - in Hong Kong advertised regularly in the Japan Times. From what I remember, the salary was lower (but not by much) than the JET program.

If you simply want to come to China, come on a student visa and then teach PT for cash. Or if you're looking for a teaching post, check out major universities on the mainland.

Ha, ha, that's why I'm here. Back in late 1984, a "major university" 上海師範大学 Shanghai Teachers University hired me in the US as an ass. professor, gave me a 2-year contract, got me a western apartment, gave me airfare with a stop-over in Tokyo to deliver a couple papers at Waseida and Keio. I was told to pick up my Chinese work visa at their pseudo-consulate in south Roppongi.

I'm still waiting.

It seems "parasites of society" (the handicapped) could/can not be issued a work visa. Nuke China.

I'll be perfectly honest - I know nothing about work visas since I'm on a student visa. But the student visa shouldn't be too much trouble even for "the differently abled" - when I was at Dalian Foreign Lang. Univ, most of the students in my Chinese class were Japanese senior citizens with a vast array of physical "abilities."

Like Japan, I think changing over from one visa to another is a bit easier in-country and especially if you speak a bit of the local lingo. Then again, there are no real fixed rules and everything really depends on the mood of the approving official.
