It is highly unlikely that you would get a legal job teaching in China. Only establishments registered to employ foreigners can provide the Z visa you will need to get work and residence permit. They must follow strict rules on employing foreigners.

The requirements are usually;
Native English language speaker
Degree
TEFL or similar qualification
2 years teaching experience
Under age 55

The more distinguished the establishment, the higher the qualifications required. Jobs offered in less desirable areas will probably accept lower qualifications.

You may be offered employment in a private school but often they are not registered to employ foreigners. This means you will not be provided with a (legal) Z visa. You cannot work on any other kind of visa. Do not believe promises that you can get the work permit later.
