If you renew your passport, update your bank with the new number, then get issued a new bank card and try adding it to your WeChat wallet.

Chinese are generally pretty tolerant friendly and accepting whatever foreigners do. I spent 15 years in China but I wouldn't say there are that many don'ts....

1. You can only legally work on a work visa, so having a 10 year tourist visa means absolutely nothing.
2. For ESL in China, and most other countries as well, no degree=no work permit. Without at least a bachelor's degree, no one cares how many hours your TEFL certification is for. There used to be loopholes for getting around it, but they've all been closed over the past few years... -

Never mind if they're replying in Mandarin, just stay consistent with Spanish.
If possible, you and your husband both should speak Spanish with kids.
No worries for kids' Mandarin learning, they are doing it natural way and soon they'll be able to teach you thing or two about the Mandarin.
The thingy is,...

Not entirely true.
If the money goes directly into the bank account in the home country, no issues.
However, if it goes into the WeChat wallet/alipay, then it can be tracked down and punished as illegal income. Unlikely to happen, but still a possibility. -

Ageism is both practiced and supported by almost every school in China. There are only rare exceptions. There are pointed questions on all applications referring to age, such as " older or younger than 55" and you must check one box or the other to continue. You could be perfectly qualified for a job and in excellent health, and this box will eliminate you from other...
