Brian,
That's an interesting way around a Z visa. this is from the embassy website:-
Business Visa (F Visa) is issued to an alien who is invited to China for a visit, an investigation, a lecture, to do business, scientific-technological and culture exchanges, short-term advanced studies or internship for a period of no more than six months. I suppose you could be giving a lecture or maybe it could be a cultural exchange!
Yes Jim no shortage of private students here! A popular way is to teach 3 or 4 students at a time and then they split the cost between them. You charge a higher hourly rate but because they split the cost it works out cheaper for them! Everybody wins,only problem is the number of people you have coming to your door!:icon_cheesygrin:
Ted, don't know how legit this is or how much they charge!

David, if one of your neighbours reports you to the police you will have two choices. Either pay off the police man or pay the fine. I would not be so blase about breaking the law here,until you get a bit of "Guanxi" going! You could always teach the local police chief's son English ! that would do it!:icon_cheesygrin:
