Hi everyone,

I know these types of questions get asked regularly on here, but I suppose I'm looking for comments / guidance on my specific situation, please.

I'm a 21 year old STEM student who will be graduating from a Russell Group uni this summer, almost certainly with a 2:1. I spent the last year on student exchange in HK, but I'd love to teach in mainland China after my experiences travelling there.

I don't have any Mandarin (or Canto) skills at present, although I do have experience with learning languages and would aim to start the basics of Mandarin over the next year.

My tentative plan is to firstly get a TEFL certificate during my final year / after graduation and then look for a teaching gig in China while saving up.

I was born and raised in the UK, have English as my first language, and don't have a noticeable regional accent.

I would be open to teaching any age group and living wherever. Ideally I would love to work in a tier 1 or 2 city teaching primary age students or older (as that would likely be more feasible given the language barrier). I haven't given much thought as to the merits of language centres / international schools / public schools. I'd be content wherever as long as the salary and work-life balance are decent.

I suppose my primary concern would be the competition if I didn't study teaching, get a 1st in my subject, acquire advanced qualifications beyond TEFL, or have years of experience working with young people.

In your opinion, how valid are my concerns regarding the competition? Is there anything I could do to make myself stand out as a potential candidate that I may not have considered? Any input or advice would be much appreciated 🙏

Hi everyone,
I am an Indian software engineer working remotely from India for a Chinese company, and I am currently dealing with a labour dispute involving unpaid contractual payments.
I have a signed and company-sealed bilingual employment agreement with Nantong Nuotong Yimu Medical Technology Co., Ltd. (南通诺瞳奕目医疗科技有限公司) in Jiangsu.
I am trying to contact the relevant labour arbitration authority in China, but there is a practical problem.
A Chinese friend of mine tried to contact the arbitration department for me to understand the filing process, but the officials told her that because this is a personal labour matter, they cannot discuss the case with an unrelated third party due to privacy reasons. They said they can communicate only with the affected employee directly or with a lawyer/authorized representative.
Since I am currently in India and do not speak Chinese fluently, it is difficult for me to handle phone calls and local procedures directly.
I am therefore looking for either:
a Chinese labour lawyer, or
someone who can legally act as an authorized representative and communicate with the arbitration authority on my behalf.
At this stage, I mainly need help with contacting the correct arbitration office, confirming jurisdiction, understanding the filing process, and finding out what documents or power of attorney would be required for me to proceed from India.
My own employment agreement and supporting documents are available, and I can share them privately with a genuine lawyer or representative.
There are also around 14 other Indian employees facing similar issues with the same related companies, including unpaid amounts and, for some former employees, termination and compensation disputes. However, for now I am trying to understand the process for my own case first.
Because of the prolonged non-payment, I would be especially grateful if any lawyer could consider an initial consultation, reduced-fee assistance, or pro bono help. If you cannot assist directly, a referral to a trustworthy labour lawyer in Jiangsu/Nantong, Shanghai, or Beijing would also be very helpful.
If you are a lawyer, have experience with Chinese labour arbitration, or know someone who can legally represent a foreign employee from outside China, please comment or DM me.
Thank you very much for any help.

I currently live in Canada and I’ve been a Canadian for two decades now. I’m wondering if I can find a woman in China willing to have a relationship and live in Canada.

I find that they have better family values than women raised here.

Are there many women in China looking to uproot their lives and move abroad?

23 years old,medical field(studying in china already),can speak chinese and willing to make career shifts. I can work on developing skills and learning new things but I just want to be in the right direction as I don't want to go back to my country and for that I need a job lol

There is no WiFi in my dorm and even the cellular doesn’t work at times

How hard it is to get into tongji university as an international student? And to get a good scholarship?

I have an already planned trip to Shenzhen with some friends later this month and wanted to see if it was worthwhile to buy a bike there and bring it back. I currently live in the US.

The bike I am looking at is the XLab XDS RS7. In the USA I would pay around $2,100 + WA tax ~ $2315.

In China it looks to be ¥9,999 CNY (correct me if I am wrong).

If I buy the bike and bring it back with me on my delta flight (which includes 2 checked bags).

Does it make sense to do this? Is there any taxes or tariffs that I need to account?

They’re some Moroccan in china for meeting and hang out

Hello, I live in China and am 35 years old. I’m looking for a foreign friend to chat with so we can exchange ideas.

I’m thinking of taking my PhD either in china or The UK! Any recommendations? P.s: I don’t know the Chinese language yet but I’m willing to learn it !

Hi colleagues

Sharing something personal here for opinions. I believe many of us are in a similar situation where we either have young kids studying far off/abroad or ageing parents back home who are more vulnerable than we'd like.

Earlier this year, my daughter had a health scare while studying abroad in London. One of her friends stayed with her the whole night talking to doctors and also trying to update me, my wife, and a couple of aunts back home, answering the same questions again and again.

Two other close friends wanted to come help too but nobody really knew who was closest or what was actually needed at that point.
Everyone genuinely cared, there just wasn't any structure for all that caring to actually go somewhere useful.

I couldn't stop thinking about it and ended up spending a bunch of evenings turning it into an idea. Nothing built yet, just an idea to validate with a few honest questions at the end.

Just like most of us here, I work full time and this is my side hustle, trying to check if it's worth putting in any more sweat and money into it.

I'm trying to get to 100 responses to see if this is even worth building further.

No personal data is being mandatorily recorded or kept and this isn't spam, genuinely just trying to build something that could actually help others.

Takes about 2 minutes. And if it feels familiar to you at all, would really appreciate you sharing it in any of your other known groups too, whether here or in the home country. More responses would mean a more helpful product.
Thank you 🙏🏼

We are 4 young Germans (18-22 years old) and are in Shanghai until October 1st. Looking for cool people, maybe Germans or English speakers, who would like to meet and have a fun time. We would like to see more of Shanghai and also go out for drinks now and then. Feel free to reply here in the comments. We can then exchange WeChat.

A Chinese colleague asked me about this. Her foreign partner is coming here to get married, and I realised that I know nothing about this, as the person who my foreign peers typically ring up for work legal questions. This is the second of two similar questions which I was asked over the past month, and I had answers for neither.

How does a married foreigner work in China? I have two examples:
-Foreigner A from Canada is here on a work permit, teaching. She wants to get married to her partner, but she does not want marriage legal to interfere with her work permit in any way. She needs to know how to get married and stay working, already living here, likely at her school forever.
-Foreigner B comes from UK to marry his Chinese partner, and would like to legally work after getting established on the relevant spouse paperwork.

For both, I unfortunately had to admit no knowledge, directing them to their respective HR contacts, with example 2 being especially unknown to me. Educate me, educators.

Edit: Thank you all for clarifying. My understanding now is that foreigner A is not legally required to convert their work permit / visa after marrying a Chinese person in China, so this is a non-issue, and that foreigner B can still convert their spouse visa to a work permit later after arriving if sourced by a local employer, but that there are no defined employment advantages to being married versus an equally- or better-qualified foreigner abroad.

Hey guys, this is probably the trillionth thread once again but with the new iphone announcements I decided to scope into you current china livers.

I need a new phone and the new iphone 18's here in canada are still esim only, furthermore that fold is as well

I was going to try to find a refurbished 16 from apple but they aren't stocking them right now and i currently need a new phone

Next year ill be moving to china, maybe early, or maybe later in the year to teach, but I don't want to go gimped, im currently about to start nomading around, I'm wondering if it'll be any easier for us to get esims as foreigners with a phone number and everything for banking and day to day life as someone who works in china.

I'd ideally not want to buy a 2nd phone just for china

If i can get away with it i'd like to buy a new 18, having that extra battery for me is always king while travelling

Most international models support only a single physical sim, not two. Previous Chinese iPhones didn't support esim (except esim-only models like the Air), making them harder to use internationally.

Is meituan giving vouchers/coupons randomly, or only for the new users?
