Do you want to find a job and live in China,then read this How and where should you find a job in China as foreigner.

Many people come and then look for a job. It's probably the true China person who chooses this riskier strategy. We do advise you to first look in the States, though, or in Hong Kong, before packing your bags. Hong Kong can be a prime job market, but unless you have a friend there, it is very expensive to stay and hang out. Who knows also? Maybe you get a good job in Hong Kong and they send you into Mainland China. Don't come here without first trying your luck in the US and/or HK. First try the web sites we recommend here, mailing out lots of resumes and using any network(s) you may have.

Here are a few links that will save you loads of time finding a job.

http://jobs.amcham-shanghai.org - Quality jobs from many fortune 500 companies. Mostly managerial and Director positions.
www.51job.com - Top Chinese Web site: Millions of jobs and viewers, but you gotten get past the advertising first.
www.zhaopin.com - similar to above. 2nd in race.
www.chinahr.com - linked with Monster. Similar to 2 above.
www.thishanghai.com - good variety of jobs, not always best quality.
www.asiaexpat.com - Shanghai page has loads of jobs. Good amount of traffic also keeps jobs fresh.
www.shjob.cn - Shanghai version of 51 job. Recently with multi million Euro injection.
www.chinaonline.cn.com - good site in general, but not loads of postings.

All of the above are useful in finding work, the Chinese web sites are more catered to Chinese obviously, even though they do have english version. The local community web sites, like Shanghai Expat, are good for general range of jobs and have good response to postings or requests. Chambers of Commerce are good to find quality jobs as their members have a majority of big companies, multinationals and such.

There are plenty of ways to find jobs in Shanghai and China, but web sites are certainly a good start!
