Q: Should foreign countries and companies pay tribute to China?

In Ancient China, many countries were called vassal states. They all paid tribute to China for the great things China did, such as protection.

 

Now that China has once again risen to become the only supreme superpower in the world, should other countries pay tribute to China, like in the past?

Of cause not. Modern time all countries are independent and equal. Maybe someone still view China as a uncivilized world. But We won't invade other countries or accept such things.

Middle Kingdom? It only exists in fiction. There is no such country in the world. Our country is still a developing country. Of course it is far away from perfection and need hard work to improve. No better ways.

Great tribute should be paid to China for kindly providing employment for thousands of highly skilled and qualified teachers from around the world who, through no fault of their own, are finding it tough to get teaching jobs in their own country. wink

In the interest of fairness to all, I suggest we hold off the tributes and blessings just for a couple more years, at which time all those that have so deservedly brought China To its knees to its deserved place in history will have accomplished just a few more great things.

I think many pay tribute but you must always have protection in China.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
