Watch out for daft things in the contract like claw backs.

You are better coming over on a tourist visa. Once here it is easy to look for work, and your employer will sponsor your work visa. Any emplyer who will not is not serious, you can walk away.

Avoid getting into a one year contract with flights attached. Unless you can vouch for the employer. There are sharks here.
Google Daves ESL Cafe. they have employment pages and a page on working in china.
You do not need a TEFL/ESL certificate to work in china, but it can help ghet the bettter jobs
