Johnny,
Got an answer from you from the VP of my agency. He said that you'd need to check with your local police department to find out infractions from how far back would show up on your record, at least for minor infractions that is. And whether minor infractions from 20 years ago would still appear on it or not.
He said that while a no criminal record is required for a China Work visa, that if it's something minor, it wouldn't affect your eligibility.
Hope this helps man! Don't let that get in your way of coming to China!
Regarding the no degree, I've met many people here who are and have been teaching without it and been able to get a valid work visa. Granted that is more likely to be possible in 2nd tier cities in the north than in the first tier cities or other desirable cities in the south of the country.
