Teaching in China now requires a bachelor's degree and at least 3 years teaching experience. This rgulation is strict since more and more foreigners come to China. But for DWI, it is not a problem if you want to visit China.

I recently returned after 8 years teaching in English...and no, a GED will not get you work. Most places require a BA degree. There is a possibility in getting some small jobs after you get there, but it is touchy, and to get a working visa you must qualify and have the job before you go. Teaching without the Z visa is possible, but I wouldn't want to get caught doing it. China considers visa violations quite seriously and unlike the U.S., illegal aliens (working on a non-working visa, et al) can get you deported immediately..like right off the street.at the best, or prison at the worse. China has made examples of many. They are not to be trifled with and let you know. I have seen people deported (taken away) when they went to get their visa's renewed. You would be foolish to try.
