It's common knowledge that only Korean and Al Nippon have been entertaining non type rated B777 and B767 positions, but only if you already possess significant jet experience on another type. Think of it in reverse: Would Alaska Airlines sponsor a Chinese 1000hr PIC turboprop pilot who wants to move to Seattle for a "green card" and then type him to fly a B737?

The short answer is that you, as a foreigner, to be engaged as a contractor, usually through a leasing company, would need PIC jet experience on a type which the airline operates. Chinese carriers are not in the business of type rating foreigners.
