@orientalpearl_anming7: I taught English for 3 years in 🇨🇳 China and 2 years in 🇯🇵 Japan. Which place is better to work in? #japan #china #englishteacher #japanlife #chinatiktok
it is easier to rent on your own as a foreigner in China too. China don't discriminate as long as you can pay. in Japan, they don't rent out to foreigners.

Other differences: Japan is in the top 50 for freedom of speech, China is in the bottom 5. Japan has free elections and freedom of religion, China doesn't. Japan doesn't censor the entire Internet, China does. No wonder people would rather live in Japan.

I have my TEFL certification and I'm working on an AA degree in Chinese. Do I need a bachelor's degree or does that depend on the school to teach in China?

A crazy thing is that the pay hasn’t increased since I taught English in Japan in 1993

As someone who’s worked in China and Japan, westerners have made up their mind prior to arriving in China/Japan.

You have said so much, it seems that China has more advantages, so why do you say more people go to Japan to teach?
Im an art teacher from Greece and I can't decide if I will move to China or Japan to teach. I was looking for art teaching jobs in Japan but there are very very few.

I believe an important reason why it’s easier to find a teaching job in China is because there are way more schools and students in China. It’s simply a much bigger market.

As much as I love the idea of living in Japan. China has been the best decision for me, as they are very generous to foreigners.
