Technically, there is no limit in the number of foreigners employed by a foreign company in China, provided that first they get approved and obtain the license to employ foreigners, and no jobs related to the employment of foreigners could be performed by a Chinese national.  Of course, foreigners employed must comply with all th local laws regarding working in China.

There are locally applied regulations related to registered capital and type of foreign owned business (WFOE, RO, JV etc.). In some areas, businesses with less than 100K USD registered capital can only obtain a work permit for the named legal representative on the business licence. In some areas, that figure is much less. Foreign owned companies are no different to domestically owned businesses in so much as not being able to employ a foreign national unless the position being filled, for whatever reason, cannot be filled by a Chinese national.

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
