Q: How come in China the stop light and pedestrian crosswalk do not mesh when crossing the road?

Most of the places that I have been in china the crosswalk and the stoplights for oncoming traffic does not mesh well. Whenever there is a green crosswalk light I automatically think go. However, the traffic tells me otherwise to stay and wait. Sometimes I just have to run across the street even if it is a red light because it doesn't matter at most places it will still be hard to cross the street. One place has an exception but most places are like that. What are possible answers that you can come up with?

 no one here respects any traffic laws. so it dosnt matter what order the lights go on. they can all turn green at the same time and would be the same.

Green lights, red lights...who cares? Go when it looks safe. Sometimes I feel like it's safer to cross during a red light, just saying.

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
