In China, <a target=\"_blank\" class=\"inside_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hiredchina.com\/articles\/tag\/international\/\" title=\"View all posts in international\" >international<\/a> school pay packages are among the best in the world, and universities are constantly looking for qualified teachers to lead math, science or history courses.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"IT\"><\/span><strong>IT<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>China&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/dictionary\/english\/information\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">information<\/a> technology industry is booming, with small and medium-sized technology companies providing expatriates with many employment <a target=\"_blank\" class=\"inside_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hiredchina.com\/articles\/tag\/opportunities\/\" title=\"View all posts in opportunities\">opportunities<\/a> in the IT field, especially in the southern coastal cities of <a target=\"_blank\" class=\"inside_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hiredchina.com\/articles\/tag\/shenzhen\/\" title=\"View all posts in Shenzhen\">Shenzhen<\/a>, Beijing&#8217;s Zhongguancun High-Tech Development Zone and Shanghai.
