Hello again, quick question to anyone who might know: what potential problems might there be joining a school (university) in China that isn't licensed to hire foreigners? Or is this no big deal, especially with a well established university? One particular U I'm looking at is very established and has 5 foreign English teachers on its language staff, but isn't licensed to hire foreigners. Just wondering what this might mean... thanks!

It means that the school isn't (officially) allowed to hire you, and their is a chance (depending upon what relations they have with the govt.) that you won't get a Z-class visa. This is turn means you will be illegal and they will likely have to get you a visitors visa every three months.
I recommend you find somewhere legal.
