Best Answer:
I lived in China for 10 years. I've worked at everything from large multinationals to small start-ups, and I've known hundreds of expats in China. It is somewhat difficult to find a position in the U.S. and be sent to China immediately by your employer. What you need to do is first get yourself to China and then, once you're there on the ground, start networking with the expat community and look for a position. There are three ways to get yourself over there. The easiest ways are to take a position as an English teacher or go as a student of Chinese. You should be able to find opportunities galore on the Internet for teaching English and studying Chinese in China. The hard (and expensive) way is to simply fly over there and set yourself up in a hotel until you find a job. If you go as an English teacher, the university/school that hires you will arrange for you to get a work visa, and they will arrange a room/apartment for you. You will need to commit to teach for a period of time (probably at least one year). Everything will be ready for you when you get there, the school will make all your housing and visa arrangements, and you'll earn some spending money. You will be locked in to your teaching assignment, but the year goes fast and you can network and look for a job in your spare time. If you go as a student, your university will arrange your visa and a dorm room (as a 47 y/o single guy you should request a single room). You will need to pay for room, board & tuition, but this is relatively inexpensive in China and you will also be learning Chinese. In your spare time you can network and look for a job. If you have money to burn, get yourself a tourist visa for the longest validity period possible and set yourself up in a hotel while you get the lay of the land and look for a position. The bottom line is, once you get to China you will quickly see what opportunities there are for you, and you will be well-positioned to grab them. With all the business activity and "churn" in the expat labor force over there, it shouldn't take more than a few months for you to find a job. Note that from December to February and June to August the expat community is relatively "dead" and these are not the optimal times to look for work. Cities with the most job opportunities will be Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen, but the so-called "second tier cities" (e.g. Tianjin, Wuhan, Qingdao, Nanjing) are booming like crazy and undoubtedly offer plenty of opportunities too. Good luck and have fun!
