Q: Is there any age restriction in Chinese clubs?

I visited some of my wife's friends in Wuhan last weekend and they invited me to a dinner and a night out

 

They took their 15 year old son with them to the club and even made him toast with alcohol a few times

 

Is that normal in China? Is there no age restriction to enter a club?

My GF and me do enjoy dining out, and many times her 16 years old daughter comes with us when her studies allow it.  Normally we will have either beer or wine with the meal, and when ordered, invariable three glsses are brought to the table without asking for them, and the kid loves it.  And she really enjoys black beer do.

there are plenty of western males up to 65 years old who go there to creep up on young girls.

The first time I went into a club, I was 16, but since I've always looked older than I am, they never asked for any ID.

Most clubs do have an age restriction, but some don't bother checking - as long as you pay and don't cause trouble (I've seen 13-14 years olds from my highschool get in clubs).

Once it happend to my friend (foreigner) in Shanghai (Club M2) because he could not prove that he is old enough (did not have any ID), so they did not let him inside. He is 24 by the way... I also saw that happening with a bunch of expat children trying to enter a bar (windows in huaihai road). for chinese I don't know, never saw so young chinese in clubs.

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
