I worked for a US defense intelligence agency as an analyst (my degrees are in engineering) for about a year; I left on Trump's DRP because I hated the job. After I left, I resumed teaching math, as that was what I was doing before. Fast forward another year and I've been applying to international schools in China. I have a few offers now but lots of the folks I know are throwing in their two cents about how I'll disappear or get extorted or exit banned in China due to my TS clearance (not using it anymore obviously) and a family member in the military. I usually write a bunch of this off as anti-Chinese propaganda talking but I want to make extra sure: does anyone have any experience working in China after having a TS clearance? My intelligence job did not involve China, for what it's worth, and I know to report my full work history accurately on the Z visa forms.
