I'm looking for a legit responsible organization that knows what they are talking about with regards to teaching in China, and the requirements. So many dodgy companies out there tell me I don't need any qualifications to teach abroad in China. Can you please recommend a good company with an excellent reputation that I could apply to?

If you have unique qualifications and pass their thirty-minute interview, the folks at journeyeast.org offer an amazing array of teaching jobs and locations. Probably one of the most supportive organizations I've had the pleasure of working with.
Always arm yourself with knowledge about the country where you will be going to teach, don't approach working or studying abroad as a vacation.
Its not a bad choice to choose a company that has some domestic liability when traveling abroad. There are big time differences, pros and cons between choosing how to get there..

It probably wouldn't hurt to talk to people at universities who work with exchange student programs and in English As A Second Language (ESL) programs.
And this is only slightly related, but there was a story on public radio several months ago told by someone from the US who went to Japan to teach English at a university. He might not have come right out and said this, but he made it sound as though a Japanese university is VERY glad to have native English speakers among the faculty, if for no other reason than that it can claim it has native English speakers among the faculty.
Whatever the case, good luck.

Have you considered teaching English at an International School? The pay and conditions offered are usually better and many of the schools are more legitimate. They won't expect you to work illegally and will help you with the visa requirements.
You can find information about current teaching vacancies in international schools on the TES website and Search Associates is a very reputable placement organisation.
Good luck in you job hunt!
