This is a tough one because most schools want either US/UK citizens or caucasians. So you have people from countries like Norway or Hungary who speak broken English but they can get jobs because they’re caucasian, or Asian Americans. But for Asian non-Americans, it can be tough. It’s unfair but that’s the way it is, from what I can tell. One option might be to offer private instruction if you can find students. From your post it looks like your English is very good – good enough to teach in Chengdu, certainly. Plus the headset you are wearing gives you a more professional air.
Good luck!
